Pres. Obama's Birth Certificate

Why Is This Idea Important?: The current situation weakens the president and the office of the president. It is a distraction with all of the problems we face in our country.

Why doesn't Pres Obama produce his birth certificate and put an end to the speculation that he was not born in the U.S.

  4. zauberer, that's a very silly response. If Mr. Obama had such a birth certificate, the amount of embarrassment he could cause the right wing would be enormous. We'd likely never recover.

    Unless...?

    CBS is bothered by the question:

    "CBS Outdoor, a division of CBS Corp. that sells more outdoor advertising than any other billboard company in North America, refuses to accept purchases of space on any of its 550,000 displays nationwide, media buyers for WND report."

  17. Because the State of Hawaii already certified his eligibility, that's why. It's a non-issue. You don't pander to crackpots, doing so would only encourage them, and then they'd just find something else to pester him about. So I say, let them pester whoever it is that has to deal with that garbage with this birth certificate non-issue, it just exposes these crackpots for the xenophobic basement dwllers they are.

  20. "Failure to resolve this question detracts from the support of Pres. Obama"

    No, actually it does not. There is almost a 100% correlation between the far right and "birthers," and those who aren't far right are nuts in some other way. Obama voters are, for the most part, puzzled by the attention this non-issue has received. Those of us who know about WND aren't surprised though. WND may have some half-way good contributors, but most of them are far right extremists, and Farah has shown himself to be just as much a crackpot as many of his readers. Or else he figures this will bring in the contributions. Crackpots don't have much money, but darker forces that seek to manipulate crackpots do.

And on these rumors entire fantastic castles are constructed, all in the heads of folks with entirely too much time to waste. Clearly, this brand of wingnuttery really is a mental disease.

    True, if you objective is to divide the country. However, if you want to unite both and all parties through some common ground and constructive disagreement, then such action would be detrimental to your cause.

    "Mr. Obama has plenty of time to cater to whims of the Muslims that hate us"

    I don't consider initiating discussion and projecting honorable civility after a decade of ignoring them to be catering to every whim, but that's just my opinion.

    "...busy schedule of Bashing the United States of America to put this controversy [sic.] to rest..." I'm not sure I follow. If you are referring to ipods or bowing or the like, I'd have to ask for some real evidence of this accusation or at least an objective, if anecdotal, reference.

    Let me just say I don't like being put into this position of personally defending our president because I don't necessarily agree with him, his actions, or his policies. I, however, do believe he has the right to make the vested decisions which are afforded to him both as an individual, and by the support granted to him on all of our behalf.

    wheter these accusations are true or not, we must hold true to our democratic foundations and pursue due process.

    As already stated, President Obama is the duly elected president, and not one of the legal challenges to his eligibility ever went anywhere. That issue is determined within the bounds of the judicial system, where the rule of law prevails, not the court of public opinion.

    You are entitled to your opinion, but in this particular case it has no legal standing, constitutional or otherwise.

  31. "we don't have the right to know that Obama was or was not born in America."

    You do know that, you just pretend not to. The last thing President Obama should do is submit to the whims of every right wing crackpot with a conspiracy theory. So while you and others insist you're not satisfied, you can't come up with a single specific legal claim, other than those of your own construction. As I've already noted, none of the legal challenges went anywhere, and there are darned good reasons for that.

    However, you do have a recourse. Since you don't have a legal leg to stand on, you can continue to make hay with this non-issue in the court of public opinion, see if you can recruit some more crackpots to your side. I doubt there are that many more crackpots out there, though, who don't already believe your nonsense. So "good luck" with that. ;)

    ... until 2012 ...

  53. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c7c_1235592719

    Dec. 5, 2008 | Barack Obama can't be president: He wasn't really born in Hawaii, and the certification of live birth his campaign released is a forgery. He was born in Kenya. Or maybe Indonesia. Or, wait, maybe he was born in Hawaii -- but that doesn't matter, since he was also a British citizen at birth because of his father, and you can't be a "natural-born citizen" in that case. ...

    You might think these rumors would have died off after Obama produced proof in June that he was, in fact, born in Hawaii to an American citizen, his mother, Ann, or after Hawaii state officials confirmed in October that he was born there.

    ...

    The right-wing Web site WorldNetDaily has been reporting on the issue almost nonstop. Numerous plaintiffs have filed lawsuits in various states. And Friday, the Supreme Court's nine justices will decide whether they want to hear one of those suits

    ...

    The people hoping this is a sign the court will agree with them and stop Obama from becoming president are almost certain to be let down. The fact that the case has gone to conference doesn't mean anything about its merits --

    ...

    But that doesn't matter. The faux controversy isn't going to go away soon. Yes, Obama was born in Hawaii, and yes, he is eligible to be president. But according to several experts in conspiracy theories, and in the psychology of people who believe in conspiracy theories, there's little chance those people who think Obama is barred from the presidency will ever be convinced otherwise. "There's no amount of evidence or data that will change somebody's mind," says Michael Shermer, who is the publisher of Skeptic magazine and a columnist for Scientific American, and who holds an undergraduate and a master's degree in psychology. "The more data you present a person, the more they doubt it ... Once you're committed, especially behaviorally committed or financially committed, the more impossible it becomes to change your mind."

    Any inconvenient facts are irrelevant. People who believe in a conspiracy theory "develop a selective perception, their mind refuses to accept contrary evidence," Chip Berlet, a senior analyst with Political Research Associates who studies such theories, says. "As soon as you criticize a conspiracy theory, you become part of the conspiracy."

    Evan Harrington, a social psychologist who is an associate professor at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, agrees. "One of the tendencies of the conspiracy notion, the whole appeal, is that a lot of the information the believer has is secret or special," Harrington says. "The real evidence is out there, [and] you can give them all this evidence, but they'll have convenient ways to discredit [it]."

    Whatever can't be ignored can be twisted to fit into the narrative; every new disclosure of something that should, by rights, end the controversy only opens up new questions, identifies new plotters. Perhaps the most common argument of those questioning Obama's eligibility is that he should just release his full, original birth certificate, rather than the shorter certification, which is a copy. His failure to do so only proves there is reason to be suspicious, they say, and if the document was released, the issue would go away. But that's unlikely. It was, after all, the Obama campaign's release of the certification this summer that stoked the fever of conspiracy mongers.

    Zauberer44 and Vote Democratic,

    You both make perfectly logical points. However, right wing-nuts simply don't speak the languague of logic. They only speak simply.

    Logic, facts, and reality have no bearing on their arguments or evidence of proof. They will continue to use catch phrases like "Protecting the Constitution" (although they will fail to pay proper respect by capitalizing the word.), Socialism - while accepting Social Security, police protection, firefighting protection, public schools, unemployment, food stamps, welfare, public website forums (such as this), and many other socialist programs. They will wield the words libery, freedom, and America like a bloody sword - while exerting every effort to destroy all three.

    Let's see the response that follows. It will be accusatory and will generalize and completely misrepresent what I wrote. I expect some inaccurate paraphrasing and some infantile repetition.

    I petitioned the USA government for my wife to be a Permanent Resident. She's now a Citizen. To do that, my abstract of live birth record (which is very similar to what Obama's people purport to be his evidence of birth), was not an adequate document to prove that I am a USA Citizen. I needed a certified actual copy of the birth record. My wife needed a "literal form" birth certificate from her country's government. Since the birth records in her country of origin are more like a large version of a notary's log book, it is not possible to produce a photocopy. So the wording is required to be typed from the original record and certified by the government agent who made it as being a literal copy. Anyone can go to the public records and examine them. I could not get a passport with my abstract of birth record either, but needed to present the same officially certified picture copy of the original. So why does it seem that the standard of proof of USA Citizenship in order to qualify to be President is so much less stringent than it is for an ordinary Citizen to get a passport or to petition for his wife to be a legal resident? I am not convinced that Barry Soetero AKA Barak H. Obama is the real President of the United States. Some say he was elected by a majority, and that is democracy in action. But pure democracy is a tyranny of the majority, voting away the rights of individuals and minorities. We are a republic with a Constitution--a Supreme Law of the Land. For Obama, or any part of the executive branch, now to require any record of birth more definitive than his own supposed proof of birth for any purpose lower than the position of President is pure hypocrisy. If who he is, and what he does don't fit within the parameters of the Constitution, he cannot be President.

    The problem is, Vote Democratic (VD for short), and others like him have been forced to be reluctant apologists for Barry. VD knows damn well that this would go away if Barry would release his LONG-FORM birth certificate. But VD and others like him are reduced to calling us "crack pots" and "Rush-publicans" in a lame attempt to marginalize us because they can't do much more than that to intellectually defend the indefensible. All their Obamessiah would have to do is provide the valid records proving the rest of us wrong. But since Barry obviously can't produce those documents, VD and friends are left with their only defense ... which is to mock the right as if it should be blatantly obvious that Barry is a natural born citizen.

    Sorry VD, but you and your paper thin arguments are transparent attempts to avoid the obvious.

    BO is hiding something ... he knows it ... we know it ... and if you had an honest bone in your body you would ADMIT that YOU know it.

    The "illegal" emperor has NO CLOTHES. And he knows it.

    0bama never released anything. His campaign put up an obviously fake document and 0bama has never once claimed it was his, came from his files, or is accurate.

    To claim that 0bama released his birth certificate is a bald faced lie.

    His birth certificate was described in his bio as being old an wrinkled.

    Where's that one?

  72. Liberals lie.

    Notice that they will accuse us of anything and everything, and most of them have been told that they need to blather on and on about us 'marginalizing' ourselves, when it is the LIBERAL who is marginalized.

    Look up the word - clearly liberals have been practicing self marginalization for some time. They are content to defend the indefensible. It would be a smart, independent thinking liberal who said, "yeah, you know what? I'd like to know if this man Obama really is eligible to be President!"

    But the marginalized liberal, for whom being liberal is more important than being an American and defending the CONSTITUTION, must defend the indefensible.

    It does not matter to the liberal today where Obama was born. Throughout these threads, liberals have stated many times, in many different words that they do not care where the hell Obama was born. They only care that he's liberal.

    And this is what has become of liberalism in America. F- the Constitution, support Obama at all costs.

    And that's why we will win. Liberals are self-defeating, and self-marginalizing.

    Some people have adopted the stance from the annals of the Continental Congress and refused to pay the federal government a tax unless their grievances are redressed.

    So far 0bama has been able to run amok because the people have continued their monetary support for his regime.

    Thankfully we have an action we can use to show our discontent.

    Others are using the u.S. v Cryer decision to force the IRS to prove they owe the tax before paying it.

    The longer 0bama keeps his birth certificate secret the more people are banding together to starve the federal government.

    When the people fear the government there is tyranny.

    When the government fears the people there is liberty.

    Long live liberty.

    You guys still beating this dead horse?

    Jimmy, I couldn't agree more. But should I begin by pointing fingers or allow your words and actions to speak for themselves?

    To defend one part of the constitution without defending the others is the very action that you decry, yet you openly embrace misconstruing it's intention to support your personal agenda.

    OF COURSE, I an all Americans; CONSERVATIVES, Patriots, and Liberals alike would defend our constitution and one's right to legal representation.

    The man who murders his wife in cold blood, in front of countless witnesses, is entitled to due process and trial by a jury of his peers.

    Is that not the defense of the indefensible?

    Let me rephrase that in a manner which cannot be subjected to your myopic and irrational interpretations.

    That IS defense of the indefensible.

    Your refusal to listen to reason and continued attempts to prove your point through slanderous insults has provided a convenient means to end this irrelevant discussion.

    It's time we take Ceadog's advice. Agree to disagree and move on.

  75. I am all about reason.

    I only care about the truth.

    Truth is by definition reasonable.

    It is reasonable to want to know if Obama satisfies the Constitutional requirement of eligibility.

    Period.

    When you prattle on about some murder in front of witnesses - You are avoiding the issue.

    This is a reasonable request: Show us where you were born Mr. Obama.

    Show us that you were born here and turn us into a laughing stock.

    Unless ... ?

    Below please find a special message from one of our advertisers, United States Justice Foundation. From time to time, we receive opportunities we believe you as a valued customer may want to know about. Please note that the following message does not necessarily reflect the editorial positions of Human Events.

    Dear Friend of the Constitution,

    Update on The biggest political cover up in American history

    Worse than Watergate, Whitewatergate, or any of the other cover ups of previous administrations, is the question of whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States of America... OR, is he a FRAUD, a USURPER, a man with no legal authority to sit in the position that he now claims to hold?

    Barack Obama could simply put the issue to rest RIGHT NOW by releasing his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE! But he WON'T! Instead, he has had teams of attorneys all over the country, fighting "tooth and nail" to thwart the efforts of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF), and our allies in a number of states, to compel him to produce an ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE and to prove that he is Constitutionally eligible to serve as President of these United States!

    HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

    RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

    Ohio, Mississippi, Hawaii, and California! These are the states where USJF has been involved in lawsuits seeking an answer to this critical constitutional question!

    And now, in California, just like in every lawsuit filed over this issue, the Obama team of attorneys, working with liberal allies in the office of California Attorney General Jerry Brown, has convinced a Sacramento County Superior Court judge to dismiss USJF's suit to force the truth to come out about whether Barack Obama is a "natural born" citizen, and, therefore, eligible to serve as President of the United States.

    BUT WE'RE NOT GIVING UP! Our clients in this case, including 2008 candidate for President of the United States, Alan Keyes, have given USJF the go ahead to file an appeal of this decision!

    AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO -- BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO DO IT!

    HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

    RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

    A number of apologists for Barack Obama have gone to great lengths to belittle USJF and our allies in the fight to preserve our Constitution. However, the questions that they cannot answer are:

    If Barack Hussein Obama has nothing to hide, WHY doesn't he just make his real birth certificate public? WHY has he spent a almost $900,000.00 in attorney fees, for, among other things, fighting USJF's efforts to obtain his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE? The more that he fights these efforts to see this document, the more that you have to wonder, WHY?

    Obama supporters want everyone to believe that only "fringies," the people that they now call "birthers," in other words, only people that they claim are outside of the main stream of thinking, question whether Mr. Obama is truly eligible to serve as President of the United States of America. But the truth of the matter is that more and more people, including many federal, state, and local elected officials, AND many in the military, are questioning whether Barack Hussein Obama is, indeed, a "natural born citizen," a Constitutional requirement for him to serve as President of these United States.

    The citizens of this country have the right to know if Barack Obama is, indeed, eligible to serve as President! And we here at the United States Justice Foundation are going to take our lawsuit all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, if that is what is necessary, to find out the answer to this critical question.

    This fight to discover the truth will be neither easy nor inexpensive, but isn't protecting the Constitution worth it? And that is exactly what this legal battle is all about,

    PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!

    HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

    RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

    Barack Obama wants you to ignore what he is doing, he wants you to ignore the U.S. Constitution, he wants you to think that the parts of the Constitution that he does not agree with (like the requirements to serve as President) are unimportant.

    In effect, he wants to destroy the U. S. Constitution and reshape this country into his own image of what he wants it to be.

    And Barack Obama's attorneys have now taken another big step to destroy the Constitution of the United States -- this time in a California State Court. Those attorneys, working with liberal California State Attorney General Jerry Brown, convinced the Judge in our case to rule that only Members of Congress can challenge the qualifications of Mr. Obama, or any candidate, to serve as President.

    And, the Judge further ruled that such a challenge could only be made on the 6th day of January following the meeting of the Presidential electors, at the session of Congress where the vote of the Electoral College is counted and the results announced. To use the Judge's words, this is "the exclusive means for challenges to the qualifications of President..."

    That means that no one, except a Member of Congress, and only on one certain day of the year following the Presidential election, can challenge the qualifications of a President-Elect! And then, the challenge can only be successful if a majority of the Members of Congress support the challenge! And that means that the politicians, not the people, are in control of who becomes President if there is an eligibility issue!

    Is that what you want? Do you believe that the majority party in both Houses of Congress should be deciding who is eligible to serve as President? Do you want Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid deciding who is President?

    That means that the requirements of the U. S. Constitution as to the eligibility of the man or woman who runs for President to serve as President are meaningless!

    Do you believe that the Constitution is a meaningless document? Do you believe that a majority of the Members of Congress have the right to ignore it? To render it of no force and effect?

    The Trial Court Judge in our case did! But we are not going to accept his decision. We are not going to accept the legal arguments made by Barack Hussein Obama's attorneys, and those by attorneys from liberal California Attorney General Jerry Brown. We are going to keep fighting this monumentally important legal battle all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, if that is what is necessary.

    IT'S A BATTLE THAT WE MUST FIGHT!

    IT'S A BATTLE THAT WE MUST WIN!

    IT'S A BATTLE THAT WILL DECIDE WHETHER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL REMAIN A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, OR WHETHER WE WILL JOIN THE DUST HEAP OF HISTORY AS JUST ANOTHER FAILED EXPERIMENT!

    USJF IS IN A BATTLE THAT COULD CHANGE THE HISTORY OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY! -- but we need YOUR help to WIN!

    IT'S A BATTLE TO SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION!

    IT'S A BATTLE TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY!

    HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

    RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

    We MUST learn the truth about whether Barack Obama is a "natural born citizen!

    But to blunt our efforts to learn the truth, the Trial Court also blocked our subpoena for the college records of Mr. Obama! These vital records could have proven whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States, or whether he is a USURPER, a FRAUD, sitting in the oval office without any legal authority to do so!

    What is in those records? We do not know. But the Obama legal team pulled out all of the stops to block the subpoena, so we believe that there is something in those college records that bears on the critical issue of whether Barack Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States.

    JUST LIKE WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A REASON WHY THE OBAMA LEGAL TEAM, ACCORDING TO A PUBLISHED REPORT, HAS BEEN PAID OVER $800,000.00, and as much as almost $900,000.00, TO KEEP THE PUBLIC FROM SEEING HIS REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE -- NOT THE PHONEY ONE THAT HE PUT UP ON HIS WEBSITE.

    There is no doubt in my mind that this e-mail may be the one of the most important documents that you ever read!

    What you do after reading this e-mail may well determine the fate of the United States of America!

    Please know that we are not saying that Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to serve as President of the United States of America. The problem is we just do not know!

    We do know that Barack Obama's maternal step-grandmother has proclaimed that she was present at his birth in Mombasa, in what is now Kenya, in Africa!

    We do know that a fake birth certificate was put up on Obama's website!

    We do know that Mr. Obama's legal team is doing everything that it can, in every case filed over this issue; to make sure that no one has access to his birth certificate.

    We do know that Mr. Obama's legal team is doing everything that it can, in our California case; to make sure that no one has access to his college records.

    DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!

    HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

    RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

    The voters of the United States of America have the right to know whether Barack Obama is a "natural born citizen," as REQUIRED by the U. S. Constitution!

    It's a question that MUST be answered!

    Why? Because, if an unqualified person was elected to the Office of President of the United States, our entire form of government could be compromised!

    Why?

    Because, if Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to serve as President of the United States, each and every act that he takes as President will be null and void! That's right, each bill that he signs into law, every Executive Order that he issues, and each and every one of his nominations to his Cabinet and to the federal courts will have no legal effect!

    I don't make that statement lightly. It's not an exaggeration.

    Article 2, Section 1, Clause 4 of the United States Constitution provides, in pertinent part, as follows: "No Person except a natural born Citizen... shall be eligible to the Office of President..."

    That means that neither Osama Bin Laden, nor California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, nor Obama billionaire money man George Soros can serve as President of the United States. That also means that if Barack Obama was born outside of the United States, he is not eligible to serve as President of our great country!

    So where was Mr. Obama born?

    He claims to have a copy of his birth certificate. That means that either he knows where he was born, or he's lying about having that document.

    And only Barack Hussein Obama's ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE can answer that question of where he was born. But he has teams of attorneys, all across the country, spending, and doing, whatever it takes to make sure that no one, and I mean NO ONE, will be allowed to see the one document that can clear up this controversy

    Mr. Obama has claimed that his Presidential administration will be the most transparent in history. Yet, he will not make public the one document that could end all of the questions about the legitimacy of his election as President.

    And you have to ask yourself, WHY?

    Is it because this is some unimportant "technicality"? No, a requirement of the U. S. Constitution is not a mere "technicality"!

    Is it because "President" Obama (if he is the President of the United States) has more important issues to deal with, and can't spare the time to deal with such a trivial issue? No, what is more important than the integrity of the Office of the President?

    Or, is there something more involved?

    Another question that the Obamaphiles don't want to answer is why, in 2005, was a law firm with ties to Mr. Obama researching the question as to how to evade the requirements of Article II of the United States Constitution, regarding the requirements to serve as President. 2005? Three years before the Presidential campaign?

    If that doesn't raise questions in your mind, then nothing will!

    And then there's the statements made by representatives of the State of Hawaii!

    According to Dr. Chiyome Fukino, of the State of Hawaii's Department of Health,

    "Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."

    Exactly what does that mean? If she can access it, why can't we? It is that very record that USJF financed lawsuits in Mississippi and in Hawaii were seeking to force into the public arena! But Obama's attorneys, and his allies in state government, stopped those efforts cold!

    So, the time of decision is now!

    Do we give up?

    Do we just ignore this threat to our Constitution? To our very form of government?

    We here at USJF say NO!

    Now is not the time to give up this fight!

    Now is not the time to walk away from the most important Constitutional battle in our lifetime!

    Now is the time to redouble our efforts to find out the truth!

    Now is the time to tell Barack Hussein Obama that the United States Constitution is far more important than his political ambition!

    But we can only do this with your help! With your financial support, and with the financial support of everyone that you know!

    HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

    RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

    Will you stand with us?

    Sincerely,

    Gary Kreep, Executive Director

    United States Justice Foundation

    P.S. This is the biggest political cover-up in American history! It would be so simple to release the documents to PROVE Obama is a natural-born citizen... IF THEY HAD THE DOCUMENTS!

    Barack Hussein Obama thinks he can get away with DUPING the American people and DESTROYING the U.S. Constitution. DON'T LET HIM DO IT!
