Over the past couple of months, there has been quite a bit of speculation that Obama’s birth certificate holds a secret, one of which that he is not a natural born citizen therefore not eligible to be President of the United States.  Several petitions have been filed, and the SCOTUS has review and denied most that have come in.  I’m not really sure what to believe, as I have haven’t seen evidence either way to indicate whether Obama is or isn’t qualified to be President.

However, the thing that bothers me the most is Obama will not open the sealed document to put this matter to rest.  If he is about “change”, and so-called “open government” then he should have no problem releasing these documents and putting an end to the speculation.  But he doesn’t.

The Kenyan government has also put in place a gag order silencing Obama’s extended family from talking to the media about Obama.  Why?  Is it too much to ask for the American public to have the ability to ensure that the person who will run our country is completely eligible?

Is there anyone who objects to Obama having to show his eligibility to be President?

notta damn thing.

which is why i wanna see your original birth certificate.

not a copy nor any form of artful reproduction no matter how identical it may appear.

soon as you lemme know it's in your possession, i'll arrange to have it picked up by a bonded courier who will handcuff it to his person and deliver it for my inspection. afterwards it'll be returned to you along with a couple bucks for your trouble...and my sincerest thanks, of course.

Nice attempt at substance, but once again fail. 

I am not going to be the President of the United States.  My BC has no relevance, and there is no comparison.

 

in other words, you wanna see HIS original...even tho you're able only to obtain a mere copy of your own bc?

When I applied to be a deputy sheriff years ago, I had to produce orginal documents.  I don't think it's too much to ask of the would-be President.

Does it matter? I simply find it amusing that the tactics used against Bush (the honest ones, not the Dan Rather Fraud) are being used against the left now. And how they howl! Et tu, Brute?

Democrats love a controversy. Otherwise, Obama would have released it and made this a non-issue. He wants to keep this on the forefront, so people do not pay attention to his activities behind the curtain.

As I shown, the left had no problem questioning McCain's eligibility, and now how dare people question the messiah!

But I guess Obama has other problems, I mean, the first President-elect to be investigated for corruption isn't the best way to start.

Before he even takes the oath of office!  I would have denied it if you had told me a year ago, but Obama just may make me look back on Clinton as an HONEST guy!

Maybe his true second name isn't "Hussein" and he doesn't want people to know?

LOL, it might be "Adolph".

Considering Annenberg Foundation's ties to Obama I can see why one would want to see the ORIGINAL.

Good point.

 

The same goes with the Gov. of Illinois, Blagoyovech (Sp?)SCANDAL, and the question that Obama must answer truthfully.....What is  his, Rahm Emanuel's and others in his incoming team involvement? The public has a duty and right to know the truth.

While Obama's away in Hawaii and Emanuel is in Africa or some place, well out of camera reach, Obama has his attorney release his statement out to the public..."no involvement whatsoever" is the summation.

Really and truly...this skeptic asks,,,,,Have we gotten the truth? Should we accept that carte blanche? Should we buy that without any further investigation?

Same deal of the proof required as to his birth certificate. Partisan affirmation of its sufficiency is one thing and a good place to start...but absolute proof is what is needed. Absolute proof is not too much to ask.  

And besides, Obama campaigned on transparency.

Ah, kingbee.  The King of Apples & Oranges.

The big issue here is that it is in Obama's best interest to be completely candid as to his, or members of his team's, involvement in any discussions with Blagojevich.  The Prosecutor has wire taps of the phone and if any of Obama staff (or Obama himself) happen to be on those tapes either making a deal with Blago or having knowledge that Blago is attempting to make a deal for the seat that will be less painful knowlege if it comes from Obama than it would from a Federal Prosecutor.

do tell. 

if you were presenting the original, then the state was left maintaining a copy?  or how exactly did that work? 

you checked it out and left a note as a placeholder?

Anyone still bitching after reading the link is just looking for things that aren't there

et tu, sc? 

my exact reason for posting said link several hours and perhaps 10 replies earlier than stubbyfinger (not that i wanna diminish his efforts in the least...but bitchin about anything even .01% rational in this thread almost seems justifiable).

Sorry King.  Totally didn't see it before Stubby's.  Points for you, bee-man.

I'm still waiting for ID to admit that he wants the Obama campaign to go down to Hawai'i and demand that there be a copy made of his birth certificate for every person in the country, since that seems to be what he wants.

My sister told me to be nice, but you're a bunch of irrational fools.

Yes.  Fools.

I think it's ironic that Obama is staying at a place usually reserved for Royalty. 

So is this part of his big change for the little guy? 

on Dec 24, 2008

.....the Obama campaign to go down to Hawai'i

Supposedly, Obama is in Hawaii, his supposed birthplace....playing golf, getting a little R& R, whatever....

While he's there, he should produce official proof....

Certificate? Do you actually believe that someone could become President without being qualified to do so---or checked out?

 

Why don't you ask Bush for certificates? Forgive me for saying so  but your post is naive beyond belief.

And where was the mass campgaign saying that the proof that McCain produced was false?

There are justifial arguments against Obama but bringing up this frankly stupid theory just discredits the value of any other argument raised.  

Everybody who has seen it says it is correct.  It was correct enough for a passport.  It is the only document that hawaii produce.  It has been verified by several different people etc etc

Not specific to the 'not-a-citizen theory' but what is the purpose of a birth certificate if it is never publicly 'viewable?'

When I requested a copy of my birth certificate, I got an actual certified photocopy of the original, not a newly-printed 'certification' that such a record exists somewhere.

LOL.  I never said I want everyone in the country to get a copy, don't put words in my mouth.  I want to see Obama produce the original documents that he has sealed, made available to the public.

I had to produce the original copy given at the hospital, or provide some type of proof that it doesn't exist.  Not copies of copies of copies like Obama has been doing.

You didn't follow the campaign much then, eh?  Nobody questioned Obama about anything.
