He’s claiming that its not politically smart to follow the birther line of inquiry. Well, that’s expedient, but the problem remains that the election may have been a fraud.

That matters. It probably matters more than abortion, gay-marriage the economy, or anything else. If the election itself is not safe, then we can expect fraud in every other corner of government.

Consider the Elizabeth Warren case with her lying about her ancestry for financial gain. Then note that it appears, repeat appears, that Obama has claimed foreign student credits quite regularly. This may be a fertile distraction to throw his way. “Pathological liar” is a label he may not want sticking to him given all the other labels that are weighing him down.

…and if Obama used to lie and say he was born in Kenya, what does that have to do with it?

At least he didn’t claim he was part Indian.

Ummm…. you mean Awe Kooda Bilaxpak Kuxshish?

Whither the Republic?

A Republic is ruled by the Rule of Law.

If you care about the survival of our Republic, you support and defend the Constitution and the Rule of Law.

And guess what? Regardless of how you think “natural born citizen” should be defined, Obama has not proven that he is in compliance with current immigration law: the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

Is the President above the law?

There are no exceptions made for government employees in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

All means all.
Must means must.

The President is a government employee who is paid a salary. All means all. Must means must. No exceptions.

All employees, citizens and noncitizens, hired after November 6, 1986 and working in the United States must complete a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.

And the only document that prove Employment Eligibility for the office of President is an

Original or certified copy of birth certificate issued by a State, county, municipal authority, or territory of the United States bearing an official seal

The burden of proof is on Obama. He is not above the law, and MUST complete a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.

With friends like you…

It’s a win-win, and nothing to worry about.

Good summary. Sending it to friends.

The issue is authenticity. Who, in reality, is Barack Øbama?

…and if Obama used to lie and say he was born in Kenya, what does that have to do with it?

Born in a hut? Oh my… believe it or not, they actually have hospitals in Kenya.

And they have houses, too, but the Dog-Eater’s own brother still lives in a cardboard box.

The problem, with Conservative pundits reflexively smearing “birtherism” is that for every person insisting Obama was born in a hut in Kenya, there are a hundred who realize that all the pieces of the puzzle are missing.

The ridicule against skeptics is apalling. Those attacking skeptics see this as a distraction. It’s another aspect of the case against the Zero, but it’s at the core of dissolving all he’s done.

Grassroots should hit this fraud from all angles! His opponent should hit him on the economy and jobs. Expose his true Marxist ideology.

Franklyn on May 29, 2012 at 10:21 PM

agreed.

Also, the point is not that any voter will be swayed by this argument. The point is that this candidate was invalid in 2008 and is about to perpetrate this fraud again in 2012.

It’s not about influencing voters, it’s about getting to the truth. I call B.S. that this great nation can’t survive the “Constitutional Crisis” that would result from the revelation that Zero is a fraud. We’re ALREADY in the crisis because no one is enforcing the Constitution against this usurper.

There, I said it.

Ed and I have written endless posts about how stupid we think Birtherism is

And many of your commenters have written endless comments about how stupid we think your dismissal is.

Please point me to Obama’s Form I-9 and the supporting, hardcopy documentation from the list of Acceptable documentation.

Then please point me to the Supreme Court precedent for the definition of “natural born citizen”.

You and Ed have your heads up your ***** in the sand on this one.

I don’t consider myself a birther as the Certificate of Live Birth is only a part of the overall question of who Obama really is.

There is much about Obama that raises question and few answers to them. It is also obvious that there is a block of power that has decided that allowing Obama to be disqualified would be a greater harm to the nation, hopefully, or to a regime change that is in progress which could be the driving force behind this bizarre chain of events concerning Obama.

In 1949 the communist party in our country realized that the American people would not willingly accept socialism and the centralized government that it needed to function. They realized that a national medical coverage, similar to those they already had begun in the United Kingdom after the war and other parts of Europe, was the only way that they could do it in the United States. They counted on the American charity that would not allow someone who needed medical care not to get it. They counted on a national medical coverage that could reach into every corner of government and citizens lives. Obamacare is the fruit of those dreams, their American dream, and Obama was tasked with insuring, above all else, that it was put in place.

Now as for the question of Obama’s birth, sitting aside all claims by his relatives of a Kenyan birth, it is a given that until birth, where the mother is, so is the child. If his mother was in the States, in Hawaii, even if she gave birth in the sticks with an unknown midwife, Obama was born in the United States and is a citizen. A Certification of Live Birth would have been declared in the normal process of the day, or if he were born in a Hospital, there would have been a record of the birth, or at least of the mother being a patient in the hospital.

The problem is that Obama’s Certification of Live has not been verified beyond doubt and what has been presented is strongly suspected of forgery.

The current Governor of Hawaii, a close friend of Obama, made finding and personally verifying Obama’s certification of live birth, one of his top priorities. As reported, he was not able to find it, despite early claims to have seen the long form in the record books with a description that it was about half typed and half hand written. All that he found were some notes pertaining to an application for the certification of live birth.

Obama’s mother processed a valid passport. It would show if she were in or out of the country at the time of his birth. Records are kept back to 1929. Unfortunately her records for the time of Obama’s birth are missing, presumed destroyed.

A record is kept of everyone who legally enters the United States in the national archives. If his mother entered before or after his birth, or was clearly present in Hawaii at the time of his birth, would be indicated in the microfilmed records. Somehow the microfilmed record for the week of Obama’s birth is missing.

You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to see something is curiously a foot with Obama’s birth and that obviously someone is hiding something, which surely is not that he was born in Hawaii, or at least for any reason I can entertain as valid and justified other than the records would lead to a conclusion that he was not in Hawaii at the time of his birth.

Obama did post to his web site a low resolution jpeg of a short form Certification of Live Birth. It was recently reveled that a man created it as a spoof and was both surprised and fearful when his spoof was put up on Obama’s web page as a real CoLB for Obama.

Interestingly Hawaii later claimed that only the short form was all that was available and inferred at least, that the long form records were destroyed once converted to the short computerized form. Obviously that was not the case.

Hawaii is even more complicit with aiding in the question of Obama’s birth with the creation of three fake Certifications of Live Birth, one for each hospital, and one for Kenya. They were white paper creations, but closely resembled the one Obama released as his Long form Certification of Live Birth, on a back ground of security paper.

The current Governor of Hawaii, a close friend of Obama from his childhood, tried to find Obama’s certificate of Live Birth and end the controversy with his assurance it was there. He was unable to do so, other than finding what appeared to be some notes pertaining to an application for a Certification of Live Birth. Yet once again they claim that it is in their records

The long form of the CoLB that Obama released was suppose to end the question, but as with most of the things done by Obama and his administration, it was not well planned and checked before releasing.

The long form has numerous red flags pointing to a forgery that cannot be explained away by the process of scanning, as initially used. Many of them the problems are noticeable to the naked eye such as the name of the hospital not following the curve of the line as it bends, and a variety of fonts styles that a single typewriter could not produce.

For those who may not be familiar with the typewriter. The type printed on paper by a typewriter is unique as finger prints and accepted in a court of law as such. It is almost impossible to realign a line or word or even letter perfectly once the paper is removed, yet the CoLB shows to have been created with more than 49 typewriters.

Then there is the problems that software is needed to show, as in the various font formats such as grey scale, black and white, color and types. The fact that the registrars stamp is moveable indicates that it was added in a layer. Layers are used to allow for corrections without messing up the earlier creations. When a document is complete, it is flattened so that all the layers combine as one and no longer can be manipulated.

The Certification of Live Birth is not the only problem. He appears to unique in that when he was issued his social security card, for a state that he had never been in and was no where near where he lived in Hawaii or even California where he attended college. Usually you need a SS when you register, but not if your there as a foreign student.

His Selective Service Card appears to be forged or he is unique in that only his card has the last two digits of the year instead of the full four for the year. Foreign students would not be required nor could register with the selective service.

His college records would show the foreign student status and bring into question his citizenship in a different light that the question of the Birth Certification.It also presents a reasonable explination for the need to forge a social security card and selective service card.

His preported college records of poor grades and yet top schools and high honors at the end don’t add up. In light of his heavy use of pot, it sure does not add up if what I observed of like kind in college holds true or later in the pot heads in my classes.

I am beginning to wonder if he is in some sort of sloppy witness protection program where they mixed some of his early life with a created one and now must protect him. Who has the power to make news media fear for even mentioning anything about his birth certification.

What happened to the judge presented with strong evidence to Obama not qualifying to be on the ballot, and no defense or evidence presented that he should be, suddenly rules that he is eligible.

What happen in Arizona where the Secretary of the State. He accepts a questionable written statement from Hawaii, that they now have a copy of his CoLB on record, more precisely, the very same one that he sent for verification that has been declared a forgery by multiple experts.

I think it’s a good thing that a mainstream media guy ends up defending Romney against Donald Trump. Who knows? Maybe the Donald is taking one for the team to make Mitt look better and better to the rest of the mainstream media types?

What a strategy!

Wouldn’t that be a hoot! The mainstream media end up helping get Romney elected! So delicious it aches!

SMART POWER!

It’s one thing for a blogger to write “it was a typo!” and quite a different thing to have to say it while looking millions hundreds of people in the eye.

I don’t trust Trump. I think he may a Trojan horse for the Obama campaign.He could give Biden a run for his money on dumb statements.

Hummer53 on May 29, 2012 at 9:41 PM

You sound so silly.

Same goes for global warming. If you are skeptical of liberals and AGW, you are called a “denier.”

Anybody else notice the same people who call us “Birther” are the same who call us “Tea Bagger?”

Romney can learn a lot from Trump.

He most certainly is.
