Lawsuit Over Obama’s Birth Certificate Goes To SCOTUS Friday

Posted on December 4, 2008

Interesting, very interesting

The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Friday whether to take up a lawsuit challenging President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. citizenship, a continuation of a New Jersey case embraced by some opponents of Obama’s election.

The meeting of justices will coincide with a vigil by the filer’s supporters in Washington on the steps of the nation’s highest court.

The suit originally sought to stay the election, and was filed on behalf of Leo Donofrio against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells.

Legal experts say the appeal has little chance of succeeding, despite appearing on the court’s schedule. Legal records show it is only the tip of an iceberg of nationwide efforts seeking to derail Obama’s election over accusations that he either wasn’t born a U.S. citizen or that he later renounced his citizenship in Indonesia.

The Obama campaign has maintained that he was born in Hawaii, has an authentic birth certificate, and is a “natural-born” U.S. citizen. Hawaiian officials agree.

There are also many, many other suits out there.

Now, there are some on the right who want the investigation, and some who don’t. Captain Ed wants the whole thing to just stop, and SCOTUS to deny the suit. John Hawkins wants SCOTUS to take the case so it can put an end to the whole thing.

Personally, I am about 95% sure Barry is an American citizen. But, let’s consider something which has been driving this case: why won’t Obama release his birth certificate? He gives us this “certificate of live birth,” which people have shot massive holes into. He originally released it to The Daily Kos. Why? His campaign demanded, along with the Compliant Media and the Left, all of McCain’s medical records, apparently going back to the beginning of time. McCain released over a thousand pages of medical records, and that wasn’t enough. They demanded more.

They demanded proof that Trig was Palin’s baby, not Bristol’s. They freaked over the few short pages of medical records Palin released. Meanwhile, Barry, a long time smoker, releases a page or two. And still no actual birth certificate.

Seriously, you know what could end this? Provide a birth certificate, Barack. It really is that simple. You want to prove us cwazy right wingers wrong? Pony up. Hell, I can walk upstairs and pull mine out of my fireproof safe in about 3 minutes. What’s your excuse, Barry?

The New York Times and other papers, not to mention many on the Left, were, at the least, “just wondering” if McCain was eligible to be President because he was born in Panama. Yet, none of them wonder why Obama won’t simply produce a birth certificate. Is it that hard to do? And that is why this continues.

P.S.: Since so many, particular Democrats, threw around Ronald Reagan’s name during the election season, let’s ask The Gipper himself what he thinks of the issue

“Trust, but verify.”

Thanks, Big Guy.

More: So, I’m taking a perusal thru the Conservasphere, and ran across a post by Ace regarding the Weekly Standard calling out Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic for Ambinder calling out Townhall for running an ad by a group pushing the Obama is not an American citizen meme. Brought up is the point that no one at the Atlantic is really in a sort of credible position to poo poo anything, what with Andrew Sullivan and his Trig-erism. More from Marc Ambinder here.

    The 9/11 Truther kooks have more legitimate questions than these COLB idiots. You’re THAT pathetic.

    A typical paranoid response. There is no merit to Mr. Berg’s complaint and he should know it. He also has no standing to bring suit, as the District Court rightly so ruled. He’s as loony as Alan Keyes, who brought a similar suit that will be similarly dismissed.

    Factcheck is talking about the certificate of live birth, not the birth certificate. No one is a whackjob here Kilo. There are plenty of legitimate questions about this, and Obama is dodging. I’m curious why he is dodging so much when it should be very simple to kill the conspiracy theory. Just produce a birth certificate!

    Why doubt it? Why would the short form of Obama’s birth certificate be any bit inconsistent with the long form birth certificate? No one has given a legitimate reason to question it, all the nitpicking notwithstanding.

    Further, what proof does anyone have that Obama was not born in Hawaii? No one has produced any documentation that Obama was born in any other country but the United States. If he was born in Kenya, then surely someone should be able to procure his birth certificate from the Kenyan records. No one has done so.

    In my view, the “certificate of birth” creates a rebuttable presumption that Obama was born in the U.S. and is a U.S. naturalized citizen. No one has any clear and convincing evidence that says otherwise. This whole smear campaign against Obama is entirely meritless.

  9. 24AheadDotCom on December 4th, 2008 9:57 pm

    Regarding the “fact check” link above, I found around a dozen things wrong with it. And, the fact remains that no one has provided definitive proof of where BHO was born.

    See the following, especially the link in the summary box at the top:

    http://24ahead.com/s/obama-citizenship

    And, even those who don’t want to discuss this or who believe BHO is a citizen can use the fact that the MSM and others are lying about this issue to discredit them. Let me repeat that: several people you’ve heard of are lying about this issue, and they’re still lying even if BHO is in fact a citizen.

    This is the epitome of paranoia: everybody that doesn’t agree with me is lying.

    Willton,

    If we can’t get the Birth Certificate from Hawaii, how are we going to get it from Kenya?

  12. Jay on December 4th, 2008 10:25 pm

    Wilton, this isn’t Berg’s case being heard. It is another case. Study up…or just read. Its right in the article.

    The suit originally sought to stay the election, and was filed on behalf of Leo Donofrio against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells.

    And still…whats so difficult for him to produce a genuine birth certificate and end all the controversy? If one exists it should be simple for him. Courts have told him to produce it and he ignores them, obviously thinking he is above the law.

  13. The Cert Summary on December 4th, 2008 11:15 pm

    Willton writes: This is the epitome of paranoia: everybody that doesn’t agree with me is lying

    It’s not a matter of “agreeing” or “disagreeing”, it’s a matter of those listed at my name’s link (the link provided by me in the previous comment) making false or misleading statements. Most of them are claiming that the state of HI has verified BHO’s cert, when in fact that state only verified that there’s a cert on file.

    So, if anyone wants to help me discredit some hacks (other than Willton), see my name’s link and, after researching the issue, write about it at your site featuring the hack(s)’ names in the titles of your posts.

  14. Roy Mustang on December 4th, 2008 11:35 pm

    Obama is a disgusting individual like Edwards. And like Edwards who ran for President knowning that he cheated on his terminally ill wife, Obama is the kind of scum that would run for President while spitting on the US Constitution and our laws.

  15. A Reader on December 5th, 2008 12:07 am

    “Personally, I am about 95% sure Barry is an American citizen. But, let’s consider something which has been driving this case: why won’t Obama release his birth certificate?”

    Thanks, that is indeed the core. But it’s not just his 1961 Hawaii document document which would clear up his citizenship… he’d also need to address the existing school records registering him as a citizen of Indonesia (!), clarify his passport history (particularly Pakistan 1981), and it would be to his benefit to unlock the college records too, to dispell speculation he received aid as a foreign student.

    The questions are trivial, and all candidates answer them without reluctance. But Obama has instructed his supporters to shout “It’s on Factcheck you retard!”, while sending lawyers out to each court to hide what every other candidate discloses.

    Not just his birth certificate, Obama needs to establish his citizenship. And he then needs to explain why his organization has been so reluctant to do so.

  16. Gary L. Zerman on December 5th, 2008 1:37 am

    When Barack Obama threw his hat into the ring to run for the office of president of the United States of America (said to be the most powerful office in the world), he undertook the obligation - the burden of proof - that he met the Constitutional requirements of the office.

    Yet Obama has repeatedly refused to produce his original birth certificate. WHY?

    Our Constitution requires candidates be natural born citizens. The Courts are there to ensure legal conditions are in fact satisfied, if and when challenged.

    If this case does not warrant a Court order for production of Obama’s authentic original birth certificate to ensure the integrity of our Constitution and our election processes, why bother any more with birth certificates, our Constitution, law, our Courts, our Country?

  18. Tired of Idiots on December 5th, 2008 5:43 am

    Tired of people who cannot read. Tired of people who misinterpret what they read. Tired of people who do not do their homework BEFORE they write an article. Tired of bad journalism. Tired of people who are dumber than toast (this is what American education has generated in the last 30 years). Tired of those who do not know their American history. Tired of the sheep who voted for “change” without having the slightest idea what that “change” was going to be. Tired of idiots who swoon at Obama’s empty, blathering speeches. Tired of those in the news who then go on to interpret the nothingness in these empty speeches (”What he was really saying…” or “What he meant to say…” or “What he seemed to say…”).

    If Obama has nothing to hide, he should produce his birth certificate and college records. There is an old saying that aptly applies to this: Where there is smoke, there is fire!

    Obama, your pants appear to be on fire!

    No one is a whackjob here Kilo. There are plenty of legitimate questions about this, and Obama is dodging. I’m curious why he is dodging so much when it should be very simple to kill the conspiracy theory. Just produce a birth certificate!

    No, you’re lying. That wouldn’t kill this, because you want to keep a pathetic, kook, conspiracy theory alive regardless of the facts.

    If you didn’t, then you’d be able to explain how Hawaii saying his original BC is legit repeatedly until they are blue in the face has no bearing on this theory not already being killed.

    So, since the most authoritative source available (Obama has less authority to claim his BC is legit than they do), this has already settled this and you simply can’t accept the result.
    Which is kind of the root problem in more sense than one.

    So congrats. Now you get to be that guy for the duration. Maybe you can team up with Larry Johnson and call for him to release this and the Michelle tapes in tandem.

  20. Kilo on December 5th, 2008 7:35 am

    No one is a whackjob here Kilo. There are plenty of legitimate questions about this

    List 3.
    So you know he was born in Hawaii according to the newspapers at the time and the certified births records officials.

    At this point you have plenty of questions remaining. So let’s hear 3 of them. You’ve said you’re not a kook, so do try to avoid suggesting a 40 year conspiracy between the newspapers and births records staff.
    Go for it.

    Bet you can’t write them up without

    IF ANYONE SHOULD PROVE WHERE HE COMES FROM IS OBAMA , RARELY IN WORLD HISTORY HAS A CANDIDATE WITH A MORE “MURKY” PAST BEEN THRUST UP BY IDIOTS INTO THE LEADERSHIP OF “ANY” COUNTRY.
    HIS GOOFY LATE MOTHER A DECADENT LITTLE GIRL IF EVER THERE WAS ONE BEDS AN UNKNOWN AFRICAN OLDER “MARRIED” EXCHANGE STUDENT, HAS A KID OUT OF WEDLOCK ( THE GUY WAS ALREADY MARRIED) SO HE COULD NOT BE MARRIED A SECOND TIME IN HAWAII EVEN IF HE WAS A MUSLIM. LATER HE ABANDONS HER GOES BACK HOME AND SHE MARRIES ANOTHER MUSLIM FROM INDONESIA THIS TIME AND GOES TO LIVE IN THAT MUSLIM COUNTRY FOR A DECADE.
    LATER THE KID GROWS UP CHANGES HIS NAME FROM BARRY SOETORO TO BARACK OBAMA AND HAS QUESTIONABLE ADULT RELATIONSHIPS WITH UNSAVORY CHARACTERS OF THE ANTI-AMERICAN LEFT.
    THIS PERSON COULD NOT PASS A SECURITY TEST TO BE AN EMPLOYEE IN A SENSITIVE POSITION IN WASHINGTON .

    ANY QUESTIONS??????????

  22. janice seibert on December 5th, 2008 8:20 am

    its just a fact, the u.s. wont make barack produce his birth certificate.every one knows that the law and the government do as they damm well please. the laws and the constitution mean absolutly nothing anymore and that is why america is going to hell in a hand basket.they have taken God out of every thing and could care less about what God says,and their stupid enough to think they will get by with it. if barack had a ligitimate birth certificate he would have shown it already. simple he isnt a u.s. citizen.

  23. Garry on December 5th, 2008 2:05 pm

    Kilo, here are a few questions that we have about Obama and his candidacy
    It STILL REMAINS, all Obama (or a designated agent on his behalf, not a family member) has to do is GET A VAULT COPY of his birth cert., or cert. of live birth (whatever HI has on file) and BE DONE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    However, it’s amazing that not one leftist has bothered to question why Obama has also not provided:

    Transcripts and/or papers from Occidental
    Transcripts and/or papers from Columbia U
    Transcripts and/or papers from Harvard Law

    Explain how or why he could be editor of the Harvard Law Review having NEVER published in the Review.

    Nor has he provided anything close to medical records… except for a one page letter from some doctor.

    Just for your information, the case before the Supreme Court for review today, is against the NJ Secretary of State naming 3 candidates for President (including McCain) being not qualified according to the Constitution. None meet the “Natural Born Citizen” requirement. It’s not just about Obama…

  24. Garry on December 5th, 2008 2:06 pm

    and… Why would you spend $800,000 dollars to not provide a $12 dollar birth certificate?

  25. bob, slc on December 5th, 2008 3:08 pm

    Obama isn’t dodging he is rejecting the stupid conspiracy theories as a waste of precious time. The document is on file in Hawaii, it was posted in the paper if its good enough for the state department with the loyal Bushie Dr. Rice in charge then it must be solid.

    Why not ask to see Obama’s passport instead - he has a U.S. passport you know and that is pretty much recognized as valid proof of citizenship worldwide.

    You guys need to find a better use for your time, go watch the cartoon channel or something - much more fun and better for society.

  26. Does anybody read anymore on December 5th, 2008 5:21 pm

    “If you didn’t, then you’d be able to explain how Hawaii saying his original BC is legit repeatedly until they are blue in the face has no bearing on this theory not already being killed.” - Kilo

    Here’s what you are referring to:

    “There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record,” DOH Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said.

    Fukino said she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama’s original birth certificate.

    “Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, 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 Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures,” Fukino said.

    Fukino said that no state official, including Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama’s certificate be handled differently from any other.

    Having read the above, notice:

    1. Fukino is NOT stating that the original birth certificate is a US birth certificate.

    2. Fukino is NOT stating that is not a Kenyan birth certificate.

    3. Fukino is only stating that a birth certificate (which could be Kenyan) is filed in accordance with the rules.

    4. Fukino is NOT saying that Obama’s record is not filed according to Hawaii Revised Statute 338-178 that allows “registration” of birth in Hawaii for a child that was born outside of Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the child’s birth, claimed Hawaii as their place of residence.

    5. Fukino’s statement, therefore, does not rule out that Obama could have a Kenyan birth certificate but still filed according to Hawaii Revised Statute 338-178 that allows “registration” of birth in Hawaii for a child that was born outside of Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the child’s birth, claimed Hawaii as their place of residence.

    6. Fukino’s statement, also does not rule out registration of birth of a child born outside the US but registered in Hawaii.

    That statement failed to resolve any of the questions being raised by litigation and press accounts.

    We’re not claiming he’s an alien born on Mars for crying out loud. Stop over exaggerating because it makes you look like an idiot.

    There’s no conspiracy theory, no “kooks”.

    Asking Obama to release his birth certificate is a simple, relevant, and legitimate request.

    Why is he STILL trying to hide it?

  27. Mary on December 5th, 2008 5:45 pm

    It is not only a birth certificate that is in question. Obama has not released his college transcripts, medical records, thesis, student loan information. When he entered the Illinois state senate, he made out a form that is required, did you use any other name. The answer was no. Lie he was know as Barry Saetoro in school in Indonesia. He had an Indonesian passport, how did he get it, with what document did he show to acquire it. To many questions about him. Are we supposed to give him a pass and ignore the Constitution? I think not.

  28. Mary on December 5th, 2008 5:47 pm

    What documents did he produce to get a security clearance, if he had one. If not why? Was that a free pass also.

  29. sandra Andrews on December 5th, 2008 5:53 pm

    I just read this idiots list and questions and wonder where his brain is. If Hawaii has BO birth certificate, then its American. No US bureau of vital statistics holds foreign birth certificates. If he was born in Kenya, then his records are in Kenya.

    My mother was born in Tenn. at home yet the state of Tennessee could not produce my mother’s birth certificate.

    Get a brain and get off it, there are far greater things in this country to worry about rather than Barak Obama’s birth certificate.

    Ge a life you bunch of right wing nut jobs.
    Don’t you think the US government, CIA, FBI checked this out quite some time ago?

  30. Pete on December 5th, 2008 7:06 pm

    Sandra Andrews,
    Respectfully, there are now 4 cases under review at the SCOTUS for BO. Donofrio’s case expresses that his ‘Certification of Birth’ is real and genuine. However, it is absolute proof that BO had Dual citizenship at birth (something that BO already admits) and that makes him ineligble for POTUS (see clause Natural Born).
    The other famous plantiff, Berg contends that the ‘Certification of Birth’ that has been released does not equate to an original longform birth certificate (best with footprints included). In 1961, in Hawaii, you could get a ‘Certification of Birth’ without being born in State…for example see BO half-sister who has a similar document but was born in Indonesia. The release of the original Certificate of Live birth, signed by a doctor and a witness, with his BO’s footprints, would easily dismiss the remaining ‘unconvinced’.

    The documents provided by BO thus far do not confirm birth in Hawaii, and are unacceptable documentation for certain privelges and programs in Hawaii now that require long form Birth Certificate copies. Please note, that BO sister has a similar document, and was not US born. However, they strongly suggest BO was born in Hawaii. Some people are resolute, at least for POTUS, that the ’strongly suggest’ is not good enough and that it should be verified.

  31. Larry on December 5th, 2008 7:50 pm

    At the risk of sounding like an idiot, what exactly is the reason Obama won’t ante up his birth certificate? Avoidance always seems incriminating. If he has a valid certificate and cares about the unity of this country, let him provide a birth certificate to a court of law and let that court validate it. This is for the country and final closure on the matter. Whe one becomes president he puts away his own desires and dignities for the good of the country as a whole.

  32. mjones on December 6th, 2008 3:37 am

    Garry on December 5th, 2008 2:05 pm

    “Kilo, here are a few questions that we have about Obama and his candidacy”

    Where are they ? You wrote this then posed no questions related to validating his birth record.

    It STILL REMAINS, all Obama (or a designated agent on his behalf, not a family member) has to do is GET A VAULT COPY of his birth cert., or cert. of live birth (whatever HI has on file) and BE DONE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is not a question.
    It also isn’t a demand worthy of response. Why does Obama have to do this when the state has already confirmed they hold a validated BC for him ?

    Are you trying to prove whether Obama is capable of handling paper ? If not then what is achieved by this that hasn’t already been ?

    However, it’s amazing that not one leftist has bothered to question why Obama has also not provided:

    Transcripts and/or papers from Occidental
    Transcripts and/or papers from Columbia U
    Transcripts and/or papers from Harvard Law

    Explain how or why he could be editor of the Harvard Law Review having NEVER published in the Review.

    Again, this is neither a question nor does it relate to his place or time of birth.

    However, he does have 2 biographies which refer to him being elected to the HLR and those who elected him can also be found on the record (I watched them on PBS “The Choice” talking about it).

    I presume you have no questions about Obama and are just trying to solicit information you are too lazy to discover yourself.

    Nor has he provided anything close to medical records… except for a one page letter from some doctor.

    That’s what medical records are you nimrod. It’s a one page document because there are no serious health concerns/history to report.

    Seriously, your “unanswered questions” amount to already answered questions you are just too dumb/lazy to read in the first place.

  34. Kilo on December 6th, 2008 6:08 am

    Having read the above, notice:
    1. Fukino is NOT stating that the original birth certificate is a US birth certificate.

    LMFAO.
    No genius, he isn’t. All he has said is Hawaii holds a valid birth certificate for someone born in Hawaii. At no point has he declared that Hawaii is a US state. Until he resolves that “unanswered question” then this is still all up in the air.

    I’ll say it again, look at what you are pretending to believe here and try claiming the 9/11 Truthers have got anything on you in the kookiness stakes.

  35. Kilo on December 6th, 2008 6:13 am

    The release of the original Certificate of Live birth, signed by a doctor and a witness, with his BO’s footprints, would easily dismiss the remaining ‘unconvinced’.

    The “remaining unconvinced” are already easily dismissed. They will be officially dismissed by the SCOTUS and every other court. Then they will be just as they will be easily dismissed on every other issue because of their conspiracy theory nonsense on this one.

    This is a problem for nobody but those entertaining this nonsense.

  36. Kilo on December 6th, 2008 6:34 am

    Wilton, this isn’t Berg’s case being heard. It is another case. Study up…or just read. Its right in the article.

    It’s right in this one too…
    salon.com/news/feature/2008/12/05/birth_certificate/

    So it’s not just the 9/11 Truther’s case. There’s also the one from the NAFTA kook, the tax fraudster, the guy who’s too mentally unstable to join the bar and the anti-semite.

    Nice company.

  37. Tom from Florida on December 6th, 2008 7:39 am

    In a Socialist/Communist country the leader/state candidate would get away with this. The media would not report it. The courts would pretend to give justice (not actually look into the issue, but say the people do not have a right to ask such a powerrful person for anything).
    Hey maybe we are in the beginnings of a Socualist/Communist takeover. After all there were people wearing hammer and cycle shirts celebrating the Obama victory.
    No it can’t be. Even if Obama ran on a Socialist party (The New Party) for his Illinois Senate seat.

    Actually you are wrong. Hawaii stores birth certificates for children born out of state, and will even issue HAWAIIAN Certificates of Live Birth for foreign citizens if they meet the requirements.

    The Hawaiian law on this is stated here:

  40. Tom from Florida on December 6th, 2008 4:19 pm

    We are making progress. NBC, here in Florida, had a segment on the birth certificate issue. The report was inaccurate (said the BC was verified by Hawaii), but the MSM is finding it necessary to let it be known that “some people are questioning whether Obama is qualified to be president”.
    It should be interesting to see if the MSM covers the press conference on Monday.

  41. Tom from Florida on December 6th, 2008 4:24 pm

    You Obama supporters that keep saying Kenya would have a BC for Obama. You do know:
    1) The Kenyan Government said they are “sealing all records” for Obama. Why would they have records, if he wasn’t born there?
    2) Obama’s relative (cousin) is a major player in the government. Obama went there, on and Indonesian passport and campaigned for him.
    You Obama supporters should be spending more of your time looking up the fact, and then when you see them consider them instead of totally disregarding them. Some of the fact presented here, and other places that you may read them, are true. Don’t believe everything, but don’t discount every fact either.

    Tired of idiots:

    Barack Obama doesn’t need to show his birth certificate to any of you. IT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO THOSE THAT NEED TO VARIFY IT IS LEGAL.

    But, now on the other hand, do you know the certificate sent home from ANY hospital IS NOT LEGAL?????? Of course not. You’re so stupid and like all stupid people you don’t bother to check it out. You must have a STATE CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH, from your State capital, (not the hospital certificate) to get any legal document like a Passport. Check it out yourself.

    President elect Obama is NOT going to lower himself to SOME peoples level. He’s already given those that needed legal documents, what they need.

    If those that doubt him want to leave this Country, I’m sure the rest of us will get along just fine!

    This is ONE of the main reason people are leaving the REPUBLICAN PARTY faster than they can be counted. Keep it up guys, the party is only 20 % of the nations voters. It won’t be long and there won’t be any Republican party!

    Clara:
    None of us are going to leave the country that we fought for.
    Obama has NOT provided any “real” documents. All he has provided are fake/fraudulant documents.
    Why can’t you see the fraud that Obama is. He has even gone back on his campaign promises, and he is NOT even President-elect yet (he is only that title after the Electoral College votes). He will now NOT roll back the Buxh tax cuts. He will not NOT withdraw the toops in Iraq.
    Obama is a great teleprompter reader. He looks good and sounds convincing. What I do not like is the truth, and deception, behind him.
    I am NOT a Republican and liked neither candidate. I back a 3rd party candidate.

    Hey Bill,
    We are stupid are we? What we are asking for is a “State Certified” copy of his “Certificate of Live Birth”, NOT a forged copy of a “Certification of Live Birth” (there is a difference). You see, a “Certification of Live Birth” was given to people born outside of the U.S. (this was one use for it).
    Additionally, Obama has NOT shown his “real” Certificate of Live Birth to the people that need to see it. What you, and the elected officials, are forgetting is that he (and they) work for us. If your boss asked to see proof that you can work in the U.S. and you refused to show him (or worse yet provide a forgery) would you still be working there?
    Let’s not call people stupid when we do not know what the real facts are. FightTheSmears is NOT a place to get real fact. However, if you are looking for talking points with no basis then the website is an excellent source.

    Barack Obama would be picking cotton if it weren’t for the Republican party. Anyone stupid enough to trash the Republican party neither knows anything about American history nor American politics. Republicans try run this nation the way it was originally founded, the way that made us the strongest nation in the world. Democrats did too before radical liberalism and immorality infected their party. Among many other atrocities, they weaken our national security which has basically ended up allowing anyone into this country to terrorize us from the inside. If the President-elect doesn’t even have to prove he’s a citizen… God only knows how many dangerous people are here illegally and “legally.” You can thank Liberals for that. It was 8 years of Clinton cutting our military and defense that allowed for 9/11. Well, the Clinton’s are back with practically Bill’s entire staff! Get ready for things to unwind again. “Change???” I don’t see change… I see “Return” (to the Clinton administration). Obama is a crazy facade that somehow has the power to hypnotize people to believe anything he says. It’s borderline worship… a worldwide cult led by the left-wing media. The entire world thinks he’s a miracle. Lol… it’s funny: We’ve been reading about this happening for thousands of years, and people are still so blinded and choose to ignore what’s happening. Though, all in the same, why do I act surprised that people are so blinded and ignorant??? It’s inevitable. It sucks, but it’s inevitable. This is the beginning of the end. …I hope all these conspiracies are JUST conspiracies. I hope Barack Obama becomes a great President and does do good. But hoping for things doesn’t mean I suddenly reject my intelligence, logic, and choose to ignore the facts… or sometimes the lack of facts. So… where exactly IS Obama’s Birth Certificate and other vital records? Well, last but definitely not least, let’s also not forget or ignore the fact that he comes from the most politically corrupt city/state in the entire nation: Chicago, Illinois. Man, I hope all you Obama-Biden supporters knew what you were doing when you chose to overlook nearly every single fact and vote for them anyway! He hasn’t even been sworn-in and yet there is already scandal emerging from Chicago. (Disappointed sigh)

    Re: “Additionally, Obama has NOT shown his “real” Certificate of Live Birth to the people that need to see it.”

    There is a simple explanation. Hawaii does not issue the certificate any more. To be sure there are some people who have certificates of live birth, which they have kept from the time that they were issued at birth. But the Department of Health of Hawaii now issues only the Certification of Live Birth, which is a summary of the certificate in the files. How do I know? I asked them. You can check, by asking your own questions by e-mail at vr-info@doh.hawaii.gov.

    But not to worry, the Certification of Live Birth is a perfectly legal document, accepted by the US State Department for issuing passports, and it says on it that Obama was born in Hawaii, and the officials in Hawaii looked into the files and found a birth certificate (No, it was not a Kenyan birth certificate. They do not store foreign birth certificates in Hawaii government birth files) that shows he was born in Hawaii.

    I think that this guy says it better than I can:

    A posting from Andrew Walden, publisher of the Hawaii Free Press, a right-wing blog based in Hawaii.

    Barack Obama: Born in Hawai`i
    by Andrew Walden

    It is time to focus on REAL issues, not imaginary ones.

    A fairly impressive internet industry has sprung up claiming that Obama was born in either Kenya or Indonesia. This is nonsense, which distracts from the broadly unexplored story of Obama’s upbringing. This kind of nonsense has emerged because the McCain campaign chose not to raise the many questions about Barack Obama’s numerous hard-left alliances. Barack Obama was born in Hawai`i, August 4, 1961 at Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu.

    Obama’s birth certificate posted online is exactly the same birth certificate everybody in Hawai`i gets from the State Department of Health. It is not forged. There is nothing unusual about the design or the texture. In addition to the birth certificate, the August 13, 1961 Honolulu Advertiser also carries an announcement of Obama’s birth. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin also carries the same announcement. Both papers require submission of a copy of the birth certificate to print a birth announcement.

    I’m not shocked that Obama has made it this far. In the Bible it says this would happen. Powerful friends over seas and a link to terrorists, as well as being from muslim decent. Just read revalation. It’s all right there. I feel sorry for the ones who will be left behind. Just wait and see then what Obama will do for you. So live it up now, Dems, we will be watching you try to survive from up above!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It is simply amazing to listen to some idiot trying to defend mr. odumass by just telling us that he was born in hawaii,and for us to get over it.can you believe that they try to pass themselves off as knowing what our government is about? they wouldn`t care if he committed murder,they would still protect him.I wish that some of you odumass people would realize,that its not the republicans that started these suits,its the democrats!!!!WHAT A BUNCH DUMMIES.
