Hoping Obama's place of birth truly was in Hawaii

"Candidate Obama's own Web site, fightthesmears.com, posted a "Certification of Live Birth," which, according to the Web site, proves that Obama is in fact a natural born U.S. citizen. What the Web site won't tell you, however, is that a "Certification of Live Birth" is not a birth certificate, and that at the time, the state of Hawaii allowed foreign-born children of U.S. citizens (Stanley Ann Dunham) to have their births registered with this document based on a statement of only one relative. The obvious question must be asked: If Obama has an original "long form" birth certificate issued on the day of his birth by the state of Hawaii, why would he also have a "Certification of Live Birth"? It would not be necessary. Critics have called upon President Obama to just give the state of Hawaii his permission to release his original "long form" birth certificate. The "long form" birth certificate would include all the pertinent information about his birth: name of the hospital, name and signature of the attending physician and a seal of the Hawaiian Health Department. This simple action by President Obama would immediately end all speculation about his citizenship and the reasons for the various lawsuits. Instead, President Obama is spending time and money hiring lawyers to fight these lawsuits. Why?"

Because it's no one's business. I personally do hope he was born in Kenya but that doesn't come out until after Obama's third term just to royally piss off all the right-wingers.

LOL

If it is true, he will have to be kicked out of office. Don't you know all hell will break loose over that.

If Mr. Obama were just an average Joe trying to hack out a living, I would agree with you......However, HE has decided to pursue an endeavor that carries with it constitutionally addressed requirements, therefore, it is all of our business.

His stonewalling on this subject is disconcerting.

Apparently he's been stonewalling on this issue for at least 5 years... at $Millions in legal costs... and someone is allowing him to get away with it (in fact, someone is MAKING SURE HE GETS AWAY WITH IT)... I don't mean just the doe-eyed American voter-cult... but also including the Supreme Court of the US.

THAT should be disconcerting. :mad:

OBAMA - SMOKING GUN FINALLY FOUND?

Subject: Smoking gun finally found?

AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obamaâs qualifications for the presidency, the group âAmericans for Freedom of Informationâ has released copies of President Obamaâs college transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obamaâs detractors have been seeking.

The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obamaâs legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs scoffed at the report stating that this was obviously another attempt by a right-wing conservative group to discredit the president and undermine the administrationâs efforts to move the country in a new direction.

Britain's Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, âObama Eligibility Questionedâ, leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obamaâs first official visit to the U.K.

In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obamaâs legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey. This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrioâs case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obamaâs citizenship or qualification to serve as president.

Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obamaâs campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.

Another made up story. If you want to quote something, at least make it believable... there is no front page article of such or similar title

One must always check the Victoria Tx Daily for its late breaking news straight in off of a letter from its local readers.

Quality post right there.

That's April Fools deal. I have always said though the reason he won't release any college records is because he went to school on scholarship as foreign student

He is going to get it sooner or later.
