Hawaii Governor seals Obama's birth certificate records

[EastWindRain]

They obviously have something to hide. Obama was born in Kenya not Hawaii and thus can not be President.

Ya know it could be that they believe that citizens(in general, not necessarily Obama) have a right to PRIVACY, kinda like specified in the bill of rights.(I don't believe privacy stems from Roe vs. Wade)

[Matt Collins]

They obviously have something to hide.Why, just because they are not releasing it? That doesn't mean they have something to hide.

Why don't you let the world see your hard drive? Why don't you let the cop search your car? After all, if you have nothing to hide, why worry?

I realize this is an entirely different situation (guy is running for President, his place of birth has come into question etc), however the same [dis]logic of "they won't show so they must have something to hide" is a complete farce.


Obama should release his birth certificate, if for no other reason than to shut everyone up about it. And by not releasing it it does indeed make him look more and more suspicious at least in the court of public opinion. But he is not guilty because he refuses to release it.

[MGreen]

You realize Lingle's a Republican, right? And she's a pretty big supporter of McCain.

Yes, I'm sure the REPUBLICAN governor of Hawaii is "in the tank" for Obama, lol.

Its a conspiracy, folks- bigger than black helicopters, building 7, CFR, Bilderbergs, and the lone gunman theory combined...

(I just love to stir the crazies up...)

[fr33domfightr]

Your Birth Certificate is private, however, when you run for the office of the presidency, you must be a natural born citizen. Therefore, the person running for the office must relinquish that right to someone of authority, in order to verify their eligibility.

My employer doesn't have the right to examine my hard drive, but they do have a right to see my birth certificate if I must be a natural born citizen, which is what *I* had to do for employment.

[libertarian4321]

Oh, one more thing.

If Hawaii is able to "seal" Obama's Hawaiin birth certificate, it means Obama has a Hawaiian birth certificate.

I know some of you aren't very bright, so I'll lead you through this.

If Obama has a "Hawaiian birth certificate" to seal, he was born in Hawaii, not Kenya or Mars or whatever. He is therefore eligible to run for President. Duh?

[JK/SEA]

You sure about that? Could be his records were transfered when he landed in Hawaii. No?

Also, what does the Governor of Hawaii have to do with anything? I don't believe the Governor has jurisdiction over this case. No?

No, not necessarily. I know it's really hard to understand for those who are not adopted, but for real, the states change these things all the time. For instance, I tried to help my former daughter-in-law get a copy of her birth certificate recently. She was born in Alabama. When she was 12, she was adopted in Iowa. For some completely unknown reason, the Iowa judge decided she was born in Georgia. She has actually never set foot in the state of Georgia. She was not born there. Yet, the state of Georgia issued her an officially stamped birth certificate.

I'm not saying Obama wasn't born in Hawaii, but I am saying it is extremely naive to believe states do not alter these records on a whim. The only way to tell if the information on someone's birth certificate is authentic or not is to get into the vault.

Edit: Well, the reason isn't completely unknown. She had an older sibling who was born in Georgia. We figure it was easier for the judge to just issue new certificates out of the same state regardless of the facts of the actual births.

Wrong. Hawaii allows you to register birth of naturalized babies when they come into the country if a parent is a citizen. They have a record it just probably says he was born outside of the country.

[tonesforjonesbones]

Well ...why doesn't The Komrade just show the dang birth certificate if he has nothing to hide? What is the big deal? This is a bullcrap election...nothing sticks to that clown. He has to PROVE he was born in the USA. I can't believe ANYONE would defend the actions of what has gone on with this fiasco of a campaign. i didn't think it could get any more crooked than that new orleans election for Nagan...but this takes the cake.

Note: I have no stance on his citizenship.

[cheapseats]

Barack Obama is making a bid for the presidency of the United States and his background is off limits. A reasonable mind HAS to ask, why is that? The Muslim question sends Obama Fans into conniption fits and settles all manner of insult upon the Doubter. Again, why is that?

How are Obama Fans so sure that the man who purposefully elected to be called BARACK rather than Barry, as he had been called during his posh private high school years, is not a Muslim? I have read and heard and read and heard about the man, and I am NOT sure. And I am NOT not sure because I'm a McCain fan, that's for sure. The only reason people seem to be sure that Barack Hussein Obama is not Muslim is because Barack Hussein Obama says so.

I have little regard for John McCain and I am repulsed by the Republican party, but I am also repulsed by the Democratic party. A CHILD can see that Washington DC is one big game of Liar Liar Pants On Fire.

They lie to us, then they lie to cover up the lies, then they lie to cover up the cover ups but, somehow, miraculously, everything that comes out of Barack Hussein Obama's mouth is tried and true? How are people making that leap of faith, and why?

I am not a practicing Catholic. How could I be, in view of the Catholic Church's horrifying accommodation of child molestation? I quit.

But I was born to a Catholic man and, believe you me, the Baltimore Catechism that was drilled into my head during my formative years is absolutely the gift that keeps on giving.

An Obama Fan will say that Obama wasn't raised in a religious household...but an Obama supporter will say that because that's what Obama says. Who the hell knows what kind of household in Jakarta, Indonesia framed his formative years?

Osama Bin Laden was recruited out of a posh private high school in London, by one of his instructors.

HOW ARE OBAMA FANS SO SURE THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS WHO AND WHAT HE CLAIMS TO BE?

[nbhadja]

You realize Lingle's a Republican, right? And she's a pretty big supporter of McCain.

Yes because we know how different McCain and Obama are :rolleyes:

It's amazingly easy to spot out Obama supporters on this forum.

Obama's birth certificate sealed by Hawaii governor
Says Democratic senator must make request to obtain original document

Posted: October 26, 2008
9:54 pm Eastern

By Jerome R. Corsi
WorldNetDaily

HONOLULU, Hawaii – Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate has become a focus of intense speculation – and even several lawsuits – WND has learned that Hawaii's Gov. Linda Lingle (governor.lingle@hawaii.gov) has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal and instructed the state's Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances.

The governor's office officially declined a request made in writing by WND in Hawaii to obtain a copy of the hospital-generated original birth certificate of Barack Obama.

"It does not appear that Dr. Corsi is within any of these categories of persons with a direct and tangible interest in the birth certificate he seeks," wrote Roz Makuala, manager of constituent services in the governor's office, in an e-mailed response to a WND request seeking the information.

Those listed as entitled to obtain a copy of an original birth certificate include the person born, or "registrant" according to the legal description from the governor's office, the spouse or parent of the registrant, a descendant of the registrant, a person having a common ancestor with the registrant, a legal guardian of the registrant, or a person or agency acting on behalf of the registrant.


WND was told the official reason for denial of access to Obama's birth certificate would be authority granted pursuant to Section 338-18 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, a provision the anonymous source claimed was designed to prevent identity theft.

Still, the source told WND confidentially the motivation for withholding the original birth certificate was political, although the source refused to disclose whether there was any information on the original birth certificate that would prove politically embarrassing to Obama.

Get the book that started it all, Jerome Corsi's "The Obama Nation," autographed by the author, exclusively from WND's online store for the amazing low price of just $4.95. (http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=74350)

The source also refused to answer WND's question whether the original document on file with the Department of Health was a hospital-generated birth certificate or a registration of birth that may have been filed subsequent to the birth.

The anonymous source made clear the Hawaii Department of Health would immediately release Obama's original birth certificate, provided Obama requested the document be released, but the Department of Heath has received no such request from the senator or from anyone acting officially on his behalf.

WND also found on microfilm in the Honolulu downtown public library a notice published under the "Births, Marriages, Deaths" section of the Honolulu Sunday Advertiser for August 13, 1961, on page B-6, noting: "Mr. and Mrs. Barack II Obama. 6085 Kalanianaole-Hwy, son, Aug. 4."

In searching through the birth notices of the Honolulu Advertiser for 1961, WND found many birth notices were published between one and two weeks after the date of birth listed.

The notice in the Honolulu Advertiser does not list the hospital where the Obama son was born or the doctor who delivered the baby.

In a startling development, Obama's Kenyan grandmother has reportedly alleged she witnessed Obama's birth at the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya.

Friday, U.S. Federal judge Richard Barclay Surrick, a Clinton appointee, dismissed a lawsuit brought by Pennsylvania attorney Phillip J. Berg who alleged Obama was not a U.S. "natural born" citizen and therefore ineligible for the presidency under the specifications of the U.S. Constitution, under Article II, Section 1.

Berg told WND last week he does not have a copy of a Kenyan birth certificate for Obama that he alleges exists.

In Kenya, WND was told by government authorities that all documents concerning Obama were under seal until after the U.S. presidential election on November 4.

The Obama campaign website entitled "Fight the Smears" posts a state of Hawaii "Certificate of Live Birth" (http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate) which is obviously not the original birth certificate generated by the hospital where Obama reportedly was born.

"Fight the Smears" declares, "The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America."

Although the Obama campaign could immediately put an end to all the challenges by simply producing the candidate's original birth certificate, it has not done so. And the "Fight the Smears" website offers no explanation as to why Obama has refused to request, and make public, an original hospital-generated birth certificate which the Hawaii Department of Health may possess.

It seems to me that the judge ( Clinton appointed ) that ruled against Berg should obviously have recused himself on this issue due to a possible appearance of conflict of "political" interest. :rolleyes:

No, not necessarily. I know it's really hard to understand for those who are not adopted, but for real, the states change these things all the time. For instance, I tried to help my former daughter-in-law get a copy of her birth certificate recently. She was born in Alabama. When she was 12, she was adopted in Iowa.

Even if you're not adopted, your birth certificate can be changed, and often is. Usually, it means nothing. Mine was changed, and I discovered it about 20 years ago when I needed a new, certified copy.

The original birth certificate that I had in my possession had not been amended. When I needed a new certified copy, I noticed that it had been amended. I called the state, and they said that they are often changed after birth (meaning up to a few months after birth) when they receive the final paperwork from the doctor.

Of course when I first saw it, I figured I had been adopted. THAT was an interesting phone call home with me calling my parents liars, etc. LOL!

In my case, it appeared that one of my parent's names was slightly changed. IIRC, it was my mother's middle initial from her maiden name initial to her middle name initial--something trivial like that. ANY change is considered an amendment.

I have no idea what is up with Obama's birth certificate. I find it hard to believe that if everything is in order that they would go to these lengths to quash all investigative efforts, given the constitutional requirements.

He also said that the government is broke, so this is a corporate thing. I said, "ALL of their resources, including De Beers?" He said, "De Beers is no match for us."

Interesting isn't it, what one will hear on an airplane that you wouldn't hear anywhere else? It's like you have complete immunity--nothing you say can be held against you, almost like a confessional. I had quite the conversation with a nationally known "Beer" girl who was maybe 10-15 years older than you would have expected and didn't look her age at all. She spoke and read 5 languages and was a biblical scholar. THAT was an interesting 2 hours...she did walk away with a "Manifesto!" Pay it forward

While none of this proves that Obama was born in Kenya, it all builds up suspicion.

Why did the Obama campaign post a fake Hawaii birth certificate? http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate Proven fake beyond a shadow of a doubt: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/07/atlas-exclusive.html

Why did Obama campaign have attorneys try to stall the case until after the election?

Why has Kenya sealed all documents concerning Obama until after the election?

All of this doubt and suspicion can be wiped out if Obama would simply produce his birth certificate.

Even if Obama is a natural born citizen, he would have had to give up his US citizenship to attend public school in Indonesia. If he didn't go through immigration and regain his citizenship when he came back to the US, he may not even currently be a US citizen. Watch this video of the lawyer explaining the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA6_k3NtXZs

McCain has released his birth certificate, why not Obama? Think of it this way... Obama wants to be OUR employee. One of the requirements for this position is being a natural born citizen. Obama should produce evidence that he is a natural born citizen to all of us. If he can't, he doesn't get the job.

Serious question: What happens if Obama wins the election, and then this info is released, and it turns out that Obama is NOT a natural born citizen, and is therefore not eligible as POTUS?

Does Biden take the job? Does McCain get it? Does Bush retain office while this is all figured out in a long court battle?

Biden, I believe. I think it's covered by the Twentieth Amendment:

Section 3
If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

Biden would get to choose his own vp.

You may be right. Biden might well be tested by other powermongers from day one. Nothing promotes gridlock like giving those sharks in Congress a bit of the scent of blood.

Unfortunately, if we tease the minorities by electing one then disqualifying him, it could get ugly indeed...

No, we don't want to wait until after the election. What if they, TPTB, decide that what we need to do to solve the issue is a constitutional convention, say to change the rule so that a naturalized citizen can serve as POTUS. (otherwise known as a "con-con" Look it up, it's been done, back in the late 1700's they actually had one to settle the Articles of the Confederation. They tried again with the Equal Rights Amendment, but it didn't happen. Last year or shortly before, there was a rumbling in the GOP about changning the Constitution so that a naturalized citizen could be POTUS, it died a lonely death. That was the GOP--all for it so AHnold could run for POTUS. Sorry I don't have the links, but the worst thing that could happen to us would be that they pulled a constitutional convention on us. They could literally rewrite the whole thing, make the Patriot Act a part of the CONSTITUTION.



That is what I fear will happen with this whole birth certificate mess. It's obvious that there is something to hide, the grandmother remembers him being born in Kenya............there is no emoticon for jumping up and down and pulling one's hair unfortunately.....http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc161/ngeekhiong4/DonaldDuck.jpg

You guys will let other people have their liberties thrown in the toilette but not your own? Leave the man alone, and respect his privacy he already released a document of his birth certificate, and as MGreen pointed out Obama and the Governor are not friends, not even same party.

“Today, we mark an important milestone on the path to greater government transparency." --Obama

"respect his privacy"
Obama appears to have zero interest in protecting anyone's privacy but his own. Obama: fighting to retain his own privacy while at the same time fighting to destroy almost everyone else's.

'Joe the Plumber' is held to greater public scrutiny than Obama. Something is surely not right here.

I don't see how releasing simple documentation showing you meet the requirements for Presidency is a violation of privacy in the first place. Perhaps someone will be so kind as to explain how it is.

"The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government." --Ron Paul

Note: I have no stance on Obama's citizenship.

[Andrew-Austin]

Can we get through one election without such huge scandals? :rolleyes:

[Matt Collins]

No, we don't want to wait until after the election. What if they, TPTB, decide that what we need to do to solve the issue is a constitutional convention, say to change the rule so that a naturalized citizen can serve as POTUS. (otherwise known as a "con-con" Would never happen in at least the next few decades.

[Matt Collins]

Serious question: What happens if Obama wins the election, and then this info is released, and it turns out that Obama is NOT a natural born citizen, and is therefore not eligible as POTUS?Pelosi would be the President :(

[ItsTime]

Why, just because they are not releasing it? That doesn't mean they have something to hide.

Why don't you let the world see your hard drive? Why don't you let the cop search your car? After all, if you have nothing to hide, why worry?

I realize this is an entirely different situation (guy is running for President, his place of birth has come into question etc), however the same [dis]logic of "they won't show so they must have something to hide" is a complete farce.


Obama should release his birth certificate, if for no other reason than to shut everyone up about it. And by not releasing it it does indeed make him look more and more suspicious at least in the court of public opinion. But he is not guilty because he refuses to release it.


He is applying for a job. Part of the job REQUIREMENTS is that he is a natural born citizen. He is the one that needs to prove he meets those requirements. End of story.

[acptulsa]

Pelosi would be the President :(

WTF? Because of Dubya's term limits? Why would they skip Cheney (not that he doesn't deserve it)? What part of the Twentieth Amendment do you not understand--or did you not read that much of this thread?

Dude--if you're going to answer a question without checking to see if someone already has, at least check your facts.

What part of the Twentieth Amendment do you not understand--or did you not read that much of this thread?If that situation were to come up since Obama was ineligible to begin with, then that would nullify the election meaning that Biden didn't win either because Obama could never have legally run. That means Pelosi would be the President. Or at least that's one argument I have read about.

[Matt Collins]

He is applying for a job. Part of the job REQUIREMENTS is that he is a natural born citizen. He is the one that needs to prove he meets those requirements. End of story.I agree, however there is no legal mechanism for this. The federal government cannot require him to release his birth certificate to the public, unless of course Congress passes a law by that nature. Remember federalism? Well birth certificates are all state-level documents, not federal documents.

So what should happen?

He should prove he is a natural born citizen by whatever means he needs to. Its not a state issue for you to volunteer the info. And since he chooses to run he should volunteer it.

Isn't this something to think about!
If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service, he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist. For this same reason, he would be disqualified from joining the military.

If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard!

What if they, TPTB, decide that what we need to do to solve the issue is a constitutional convention, say to change the rule so that a naturalized citizen can serve as POTUS. (otherwise known as a "con-con" Look it up, it's been done, back in the late 1700's they actually had one to settle the Articles of the Confederation. They tried again with the Equal Rights Amendment, but it didn't happen. Last year or shortly before, there was a rumbling in the GOP about changning the Constitution so that a naturalized citizen could be POTUS, it died a lonely death. That was the GOP--all for it so AHnold could run for POTUS.

That is what I fear will happen with this whole birth certificate mess. It's obvious that there is something to hide, the grandmother remembers him being born in Kenya............there is no emoticon for jumping up and down and pulling one's hair unfortunately...

With the Democrats GAINING Congressional seats... 3/5's in both houses can change ANY AMENDMENT to their FAVOR!

That's the problem with SOCIALISTS Completely controlling all parts of government of OUR country!

We've witnessed first hand, when the fascists/NEOCON REPUBLICANS had ruling powers and how destructive they were/are to the people and country.

Both the COKE & PEPSI parties, are for BIG GOVERNMENT, COMPLETE CONTROL, & Dictatorial Policies on Americans. They just STEAL from the American TAXPAYERS in different Ways... that's your difference in these 2 Corrupt, Colluding, Crooked government parties.

They sealed it because the bastard does not have a legal birth certificate, the fix is in. If he had a real legal birth certificate, Oprah would be wearing it on her mighty communist chest.

We have no standing because there is a deep flaw in the constitution that would allow a foreign born, coke snorting, communist sleeper muslim to become President of the United states.

The flaw in the Constitution is there and it is real simple, the founding fathers could never have imagined the current crop of citizens would be totally devoid of bravery and common sense!

Because its a stupid premise from the standpoint of basic logic. One can't disprove a negative.

I can throw any accusation I want at you and you can't "disprove it".

I can call YOU a Muslim, and you can't "disprove it". Go ahead and try to prove to me that you aren't a Muslim- you can't do it.

I can call YOU a child molester, and you can't "disprove it". Go ahead and try to prove to me that you aren't a child molester- you can't do it.

I can say that you like to put on women's clothing and prance around your house with a cucumber up your butt while masturbating and reciting Koranic verse- and you can't disprove it.

I was born to a Catholic man. Baptized, then confirmed down the line. Records exist. I can produce them.

I do not deny that that was my upbringing. I reject it now, on expressed rationale, yet I am forthcoming about certain abiding influences of Catholicism.

Barack Obama was born to a Muslim man. Barack Obama became a Christian in his early 20's. There's a key piece of real estate in between.

Another key difference is that Barack Hussein Obama is jockeying to be president of the United States, and I am not.

[JohnJay]

What's the problem ? Even if he was muslim or jewish, there is no religious test for the presidency according to the founders.

The defacto proof that there is a Hawai'i birth certificate could very well resolve Obama's questioned native-born status.

There are lawsuits in at least 10 states now and the little communist does not want the problem to go away, he likes the problem.

He went to Hiwaya just to say hello to poor old granny and while he was there, he promised that corrupt governor a nice position if she would play ball with the little communist.

In my opinion, McWar is not a citizen or eligble either, if he really was, the congress would not have stepped in to help the impersonator along.

I am now more than ever in my life totally dismayed at the ignorance of the average american. I like O's wife can now say for once in my life and for the first time, I will not only be ashamed of my country, but horrified for it the day the little communist is crowned.

whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex.
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."

Was it not his radical mother's marriage to ANOTHER Muslim that resulted in Barack Obama's being spirited off to largely Muslim Jakarta, Indonesia?

So, in two years Obama hasn't produced a valid Birth Certifcate. Oh, he tried to give one to clowns at daily kos, but that was found to be a photoshopped version. That in an of itself, raises HUGE questions -- why supply a forged birth certificate when supply the real one would take less time and effort?

AND now.... we have his "ailing" grandmother IN Hawaii who he threw under the bus as a racist etc... and now he wants to "see and spend time with her.."

... and now a politician in Hawaii seals the information that everyone needs and wants?

Oh brother..... perhaps its just me. I am a paranoid sort. But it seems a payoff has been made with some promises to "bury" information.

[JohnJay]

Well. if Obama IS foreign-born . . .
then Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 44th President.

But it just seems, that there definitely exists a Hawai'i birth certificate if the Republican Governor of Hawai'i is sealing the record - my only point really.

Through birth abroad to two United States citizens

See also: jus sanguinis

In most cases, one is a U.S. citizen if both of the following are true:

1. Both parents were U.S. citizens at the time of the child's birth
2. At least one parent lived in the United States prior to the child's birth.

INA 301(c) and INA 301(a)(3) state, "and one of whom has had a residence." The FAM (Foreign Affairs Manual) states "no amount of time specified."

A person's record of birth abroad, if registered with a U.S. consulate or embassy, is proof of his or her citizenship. He or she may also apply for a passport or a Certificate of Citizenship to have his or her citizenship recognized.

Of course, he also said he would go with public campaign financing. The Red Cross had to borrow money to help flood victims in the Midwest, while Barack Obama conducts the costliest campaign in American history.

Obama should release his birth certificate, if for no other reason than to shut everyone up about it. And by not releasing it it does indeed make him look more and more suspicious at least in the court of public opinion. But he is not guilty because he refuses to release it.

Thats a rediculous argument. Just rediculous. They are asking to see what any of us must show to get a passport, register at school, join the military, get a driver's lisence, etc. Since when is such a document protected?

Oh I forgot, Barack's a Lawyer... Columbia U Alum, I believe everything Obama says and question nothing, because he's a ROCKSTAR like me!

I think the DCCC and the Socialist in Hawaii, are squelching this, but something is going to disappear, be falsified, or Bribed into the appearance of truth.

It's the American Way... of GOVERNMENT!

Sounds very fishy to me.

Thats a rediculous argument. Just rediculous.Ok - please post your birth certificate.


Since when is such a document protected? Depends on the laws of the individual state.



All the man would have to do is produce and shut all of us up, alas he has not produced his vault birth certificate, and thus, I will not shut up about it.I absolutely agree. And he should produce the certificate, if for no other reason than to quench the issue. However one can not infer that just because he doesn't show it means that he is not a citizen. Innocent until proven guilty?

Yes he should show it, but there is no mechanism to force him to show it, short of a lawsuit. Unfortunately that course of action has been blocked.

[M House]

It's in the constitution, he needs to produce it period. Seriously how many times have you been asked to for yours, I know I have alot and I'm not a candidate for president. Anyway, he won't but yeah it's a requirement. As for muslim, I don't care who he prays to cuz the only thing he really prays to is lawyers and money.

[Alawn]

His mother lived in Kansas most her life!!! Case closed.


Wrong. When only one parent is a US citizen (his father was not a US citizen) the parent has to be at least 19 because of the requirement that the parent resided in the US for 10 years with at least 5 of those years after the age of 14. His mother was only 18 when he was born so he cannot be a natural born citizen if born outside of the US.

[Vet_from_cali]

dude, when is all this last minute conspiracy shi* gonna be coming from a credible news source? wtf, why do people keep posting this BS from unknown sites, or some retards blog page. if you going to post some info, please make sure it is credible and not some unknown source. smh....

If you truly wanted to put an end to all the histeria, probes, questioning... show and prove. SIMPLE.


It would be so outrageous if he were faking citizenry that we must ABSOLUTELY have proof. It's part of the price of admission.

And as you point out, it would be so simple to lay the doubt to rest that one is left to wonder whether this little drama is allowed to percolate, like the titillating front page of a rag magazine, to divert attention from something rather more damaging.

Maybe the Muslim angle. Maybe something else. It is highly unusual...between his good looks, our prurient interests and our sleazy media...that we have heard about not a single intimate relationship prior to Militant Michelle.




Oh I forgot, Barack's a Lawyer... Columbia U Alum,

Columbia University undergraduate, Harvard University law.

I watched a bio on CNN, Suzanne Malveaux (sp) reporting. I kid you not when I say it begins, "To understand Barack Obama, you have to come here, Hawaii."

Is that why I can't get my mind around this stranger's popularity? I need to go to Hawaii? I couldn't agree more.

If memory serves, the phrase "less than stellar" was used with regard to his academics. Something about 'B' and 'seldom'...presumably that he seldom rose ABOVE a 'B' and not that he seldom rose TO a 'B.'

I will therefore venture to guess that his acceptance at top-notch Columbia University featured either Affirmative Action or Pulled Strings.

There is no denying that NONE of this would be playing out the way it is if Obama was jet-black and thick-lipped. I've got a little more than half a century in this country, and I have gotten around it a fair bit. I have a fairly assorted set of life experiences.

There is LESS racism, to be sure. Racism is on the decline. HOWEVER, comma, it remains more true to say that America is a Racist nation than it is to say that America is a Christian nation.

Back to the law angle, I have a BIG problem with that. Big Law features in damn near every one of our Rubick's cubes, and Big Law is all up in Obama's support network. I'm talking about up-and-comers from Big Law firms "donating" their hours to Obama's campaign...one in every precinct in America, I was told...while the firms continue to pay the attorneys. I would like to know whether Obama declare those values as part of his overall Haul.

All those entitlement programs? Who gets what, why did you deny this application, lawyers, lawyers, lawyers. I heard there are many more lawyers in Washington than government officials. Also many more lobbyists.

I think lobbying should be illegal. Joe Biden disagrees, that's for sure.




I believe everything Obama says and question nothing, because he's a ROCKSTAR like me!

Yep.

In addition to being a Nation of Racists, Addicts, Cowards, Pansies and Rubber Neckers, we are a Nation of Star Fuckers.

First and foremost, though, we are a Moneyian Nation. And when times are tougher than they've ever been for most people alive, people with deteriorating quality of life simply cannot throw enough money at this man. It defies logic. Defiance of logic is just a HUGE red flag.

He was born in a US Naval base hospital to American citizen parents on US government assignment, unlike Obama. Get a grip and a clue.

For your reference read the law of the state department

http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86755.pdf

Read Section 1116.1-4(c) Not Included In the Meaning of "In the United States"
military installations abroad

So, EVEN IF he was born in a Navy hospital on base, that STILL is NOT in the United States -
The Naval Hospital was not authorized - or built - until FIVE years after McCain's 1936 birth.

In actuality, he is presumed to be have been born at the local hospital in Colón Beach.

ALL are NOT in the United States.

It would be hilarious if they were both disqualified a week before the election.

[JohnJay]

For Obama, like I said - with the Republican Governor following the state code regarding Hawai'i birth certificates -
and the entry in the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper 9 days after Obama's birth in Honolulu -
these are all pretty much defacto evidence he has a birth certificate in Hawai'i.

If he is not a native born citizen, then Biden would take the Oath of Office -
but I honestly don't see that.

But McCain is toast on this issue definitely :
http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86755.pdf

[anaconda]

Oh, one more thing.

If Hawaii is able to "seal" Obama's Hawaiin birth certificate, it means Obama has a Hawaiian birth certificate.

I know some of you aren't very bright, so I'll lead you through this.



Just because the Governor says it's "sealed" means no more to me than the New Hampshire Secretary of State saying the rooms holding the January primary ballots were "secure." Furthermore, whatever is on record in Hawaii, if anything, has not been shown to be valid. Your assumption that the "document" is valid and that the chain of custody is secure seems really presumptuous.

The Original post is wrong. Even if Obama was born in Kenya he can still run for president and become president. Please google "Natural Born Citizen". Also, I know this because I've taken constitution classes.

The question how I read is

According to Berg, even if Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, his stepfather later changed his citizenship to Indonesian. Berg bases this on the years the senator was enrolled in the Indonesian public school system as Barry Soetoro (his stepfather's surname).

In those days Indonesia was at war and only Indonesian citizens were allowed to enroll in public school. If the senator's citizenship was switched to Indonesian, and later switched back, he would then be referenced as a naturalized citizen. In that case, he would not be eligible to be president.

[NewEnd]

Wrong. When only one parent is a US citizen (his father was not a US citizen) the parent has to be at least 19 because of the requirement that the parent resided in the US for 10 years with at least 5 of those years after the age of 14. His mother was only 18 when he was born so he cannot be a natural born citizen if born outside of the US.


where are you getting this from? Are trying to tell me if an 18 yo American has a baby in Canada, with a Canadian parent, that the baby is not American?

Whatever.

[Lord Xar]

Perhaps the hiding of his birth certificate has nothing to do with citizenship, but something else entirely.

I also find it hugely comical that some here have no issue with Obama NOT supplying his birth certificate. I mean, it IS a requirement to be president, yet how is one suppose to prove it when all obstacles are in the way? Its extremely odd that many of us question authority, question the media yet we look to the very source of corruption to validate this "birth certificate" and then say "what credible source has shown he is born in another country.." You can't prove it because the data that is needed is BEING DENIED! Phuk.

I mean, why was a 'fake copy' given to KOS by the Obama campaign?
WHY was his birth certificate sealed? Why? Think on that? Instead of debating the issue of what is real or not, just ask yourself "Why did they seal his birth certificate?" THAT IS FUCKING ODD???

[NewEnd]

maybe the father is listed as unknown. That copy wasn't fake, it was just an electronic document...

..or maybe, they know this just makes Obama's enemies look like bigoted jackasses.

His birth was in the Hawaii paper.. its not like it would be hard to get him citizenship, since his mother was clearly an American, and certainly his parents were not like, "OMG, Obama might be president one day, lets make sure he is a nationalized, not naturalized citizen."

Well, as we all know... it's all the same EVIL government and the $850 BAILOUT BILL with $100's of other BILLIONS going to their LOVED ONES blatantly obvious that government doesn't represent the people. Sooooooooooooooooooooo...

There can be multiple reasons for the Birth reocrds being sealed... for protection from theft, modification, destruction, inspection, or for a FUTURE deal between the governor of Hawaii and president elect. That piece of paper, whether it be authentic or falsified is worth an incredible amount of Wealth/Power.

Maybe Penny Pritzer offered the governor of HI, emmense wealth for her in the future.

Personally, there has to be some Witnesses from 45+ years ago... hospital, neighbors, relatives, government. Where are the eye witnesses and besides the Birth certificate, where's the hospital records, etc?

Then, what's going on in Kenya? If all this turns out to be true and Obama is disqualified, there will be a Supreme Court ruling... but as usually, the Idiots on the highest courts will rule to the wealth and best deal. Sorta like Scalia ruling on GITMO prisons, that not giving legal rights, will cause more American Deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan, instead of the KNUCKLEHEAD ruling by the U.S. Constitution. Of Course which they swears to uphold and enforce. (yeah right) They are the Supreme Exhaultered Court will rule... IN FAVOR OF OBAMA being president, BECAUSE there will be massive RIOTS and DEATHS across American and Martial Law, yotta yotta if we don't rule this particular way.

I can see it all now! :rolleyes:

[Penners]

So, in two years Obama hasn't produced a valid Birth Certifcate. Oh, he tried to give one to clowns at daily kos, but that was found to be a photoshopped version. That in an of itself, raises HUGE questions -- why supply a forged birth certificate when supply the real one would take less time and effort?

AND now.... we have his "ailing" grandmother IN Hawaii who he threw under the bus as a racist etc... and now he wants to "see and spend time with her.."

... and now a politician in Hawaii seals the information that everyone needs and wants?

Oh brother..... perhaps its just me. I am a paranoid sort. But it seems a payoff has been made with some promises to "bury" information.

Why not release the proof? Remember the National Gaurd controversy. Why release it, when you can wait for McCain or Palin to get desperate, claim he isn't a citizen, and then produce the real thing, upping the landslide, and perhaps getting even longer coat tails.

Forging old documents, especially common ones like birth certificates, is easy. Its a $200 job for a guy named Mack in Tacna, Arizona.

The birth announcement in the paper would be convincing--if it listed a hospital. From what I've heard, it does not. While a woman is in the hospital after the birth of a child, the hospital usually asks the mother if she would like the birth announced. If so, they ask her to specify newspaper(s). (They don't have to be in the area.) Then, the hospital sends the information to the newspaper(s).

Based on reports of the newspaper announcement, it sounds as if the family, and not the hospital, notified the newspaper. Maybe the hospital didn't offer to make the announcement, or maybe there was something else happening.

In any case, the announcement only states that his mother resided in Hawaii, and he was born. It doesn't say where. It proves nothing.

Evidently, they got somebody to do a $200 forge job for Obama. The problem is, a computer forensics expert busted them on it. Of course you can do forensics on a jpg. :confused:

Since this forgery was busted, they can't try for a better one, and now they need to release the real thing. It's illegal to forge a birth certificate. Maybe that's why they won't release the real one? Because it would prove that the first one they released was a forgery?

Does the announcement try to portray him as born in Hawaii? I read birth announcements from all over the world in my local paper. The babies' parents have ties to this community, so they announce it here. Who knows why the announcement doesn't say where he was born? I don't. But it doesn't say, so it really isn't proof of anything other than the birth.

[nodope0695]

Ok - please post your birth certificate.

Depends on the laws of the individual state.


I absolutely agree. And he should produce the certificate, if for no other reason than to quench the issue. However one can not infer that just because he doesn't show it means that he is not a citizen. Innocent until proven guilty?

Yes he should show it, but there is no mechanism to force him to show it, short of a lawsuit. Unfortunately that course of action has been blocked.

If I had a scanner, I would produce my birth certificate...alas, I don't have a scanner. But, in my hand right now, I have a notarized, certified copy of the ORIGONAL certificate, not some computer generated certification of live bith. I have THE certificate. I payed $10 for it at my county clerk's office. It states my place of birth, my parent's full names, occupations, signatures, and legal residence. It states the date/time of my birth, contains the doctor's name and signature and the signature of the person who filed the certificate. It is a faxcimile of the origonal, hand written certificate from 1971. It is printed on official State of California, County of San Luis Obispo paper with boarders printed just as money is printed, it has a raised seal and date of reproduction and notary.

Obama's supposed "Certificate of Live Birth" is NOT a true copy of a birth certificate because if contains only basic info, and no doctor's signature, no signature of the parent(s), no legal residence address.

My point? This is NOT private information. It is of public record. Its not like its a ssn, or credit card number. I had to show this document to join the military, get my passport, recieve a new SSN card, etc. Obama wants to be PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES!!! He NEEDS to produce this document in order to be properly vetted by his party, and the American voters.

The reason why the document has been sealed by Hawaii's govornor has to be because there is something to hide. Perhaps he was registered under one of his many aliases. Perhaps it indeed shows his place of birth as Kenya. Who know. But be assured, if it did show his birth to have taken place in Hawaii, at Kapiolani Hospital (or Queen's Hospital), then surely it would be released because it would close the case. However the document hasn't been released, so the question remains: What is Obama hiding?

No mechanism to force him to produce his Bith Certificate??? My friend, that mechanism is the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES! If we don't enforce that, what can we enforce? If we ignore this element of the constitution, why not ignore the entire thing? Oh, wait, I almost forgot. Obama has alread stated he wants to rewrite the constitution because it "reflects a blindspot of the founding fathers." The Warren Court failed to address the redistribution of weath in their rulings.

If you support Obama, then you are complisate in the fall of the Untited States as we know it. Enjoy your final free vote.

The statutory laws on the books at the time Obama was born stated that for a child to assume U.S. citizenship from a parent, the U.S. Citizen parent must have lived for 10 simultainious years in the USA, and that five of those years must have been past their 14th birthday. Stanly Obama was 18 when Obama was born, IN KENYA, and thus did not meet the statutory law at the time. Therefore, Obama was never granted U.S. citizenship, nor did he EVER claim it when he turned 18.

His mother lived in Kansas most her life!!! Case closed.

Furthermore, he did not throw his grandmother under a bus, he said he does not throw away close relationships based on people's views about race.

And Kansas she said was the name of her star..

Woohoo. I was just thinking the other day if the "strawman" and "tinman - taxpayer identification number" political interpretations of the Wizard of Oz are used (from various posters on here), than Dorthy should represent natural sovereign citizenship trying to find its way home.

Under the original idea of citizenship, pre-14th Amendment, you are a citizen in one of these united States because your parents are, which is how the constitution also starts out, that it is intended for we the people, to us and our posterity. The 14th intended to free the slaves, who were born here and subject to the laws of the land (indians were not), but whose parents were not citizens because they were slaves. Natural born citizens isn't where you are born, but to whom. Nothing is more unnatural then claiming because an illegal immigrate snuck across the border to drop, their baby is a US citizen. That is not a natural citizen but extreemly artificial.

Obama's mother is a citizen of Kansas. She can look at the flag at any time and say and Kansas is the :D

[anaconda]

Even if Obama was born in Kenya he can still run for president and become president. Please google "Natural Born Citizen". Also, I know this because I've taken constitution classes.


I think Obama's situation concerning "natural born" is complicated by the fact that one of his parents was not a U.S. citizen. There are additional encumbrances that accrue in this situation, apparently. Also, if I understand correctly, one can be born as a citizen and not be a "natural born citizen." I don't think Obama's birth in Kenya would have been a problem if his father was a U.S. citizen like his mother. Since he was not, it's a whole different can of worms.

[BeFranklin]

Wrong. When only one parent is a US citizen (his father was not a US citizen) the parent has to be at least 19 because of the requirement that the parent resided in the US for 10 years with at least 5 of those years after the age of 14. His mother was only 18 when he was born so he cannot be a natural born citizen if born outside of the US.

Where is this in the Contitution? Regulations trump it by re-defination?

There is no such thing as a naturally born "US" citizen in the constitution. The Constitution is a federation of free countries, and its members or "citizens" are States not people.

A natural citizen of the united States (note caps to emphasize the point), is a natural citizen of one of the States that are part of the US. Under the original constitution, it would be impossible to be a citizen of the federal government.

What is a natural citizen? According to common law and general usage, one that is born of citizens of that state and subject to their laws. Or as the constitution starts out:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Note the underline. Obama's mother is a citizen so he is. The argument that he is not a citizen of the "United States" because of where he is born is 14th amendment type thinking, not what the constitution originally meant. Citizenship is not a matter of just where you are born, and it is not national in character.

At least one good thing could come of this - people can see there is a difference in citizenship, and federal versus national governments.

So they both are like Federal citizens but not US citizens would that like make them more suitable or less suitable in most people opinions.

Of course you do realize the 14th Amendment was never ratified, right?

The Congress proposed the Fourteenth Amendment on June 13, 1866.[20] There being thirty-seven states in the Union at that time, twenty-eight ratifications were necessary for the Amendment's adoption. By July 9, 1868, twenty-eight states had ratified the Amendment:
Connecticut (June 25, 1866)
New Hampshire (July 6, 1866)
Tennessee (July 19, 1866)
New Jersey (September 11, 1866)
Oregon (September 19, 1866)
Vermont (October 30, 1866)
Ohio (January 4, 1867)*
New York (January 10, 1867)
Kansas (January 11, 1867)
Illinois (January 15, 1867)
West Virginia (January 16, 1867)
Michigan (January 16, 1867)
Minnesota (January 16, 1867)
Maine (January 19, 1867)
Nevada (January 22, 1867)
Indiana (January 23, 1867)
Missouri (January 25, 1867)
Rhode Island (February 7, 1867)
Wisconsin (February 7, 1867)
Pennsylvania (February 12, 1867)
Massachusetts (March 20, 1867)
Nebraska (June 15, 1867)
Iowa (March 16, 1868)
Arkansas (April 6, 1868)
Florida (June 9, 1868)
North Carolina (July 4, 1868, after having rejected it on December 14, 1866)
Louisiana (July 9, 1868, after having rejected it on February 6, 1867)
South Carolina (July 9, 1868, after having rejected it on December 20, 1866)

*Ohio passed a resolution that purported to withdraw its ratification on January 15, 1868. The New Jersey legislature also tried to rescind its ratification on February 20, 1868. The New Jersey governor had vetoed his state's withdrawal on March 5, and the legislature overrode the veto on March 24. Accordingly, on July 20, 1868, Secretary of State William H. Seward certified that the amendment had become part of the Constitution if the rescissions were ineffective. The Congress responded on the following day, declaring that the amendment was part of the Constitution and ordering Seward to promulgate the amendment.

Meanwhile, two additional states had ratified the amendment:
Alabama (July 13, 1868, the date the ratification was "approved" by the governor)
Georgia (July 21, 1868, after having rejected it on November 9, 1866)

Thus, on July 28, Seward was able to certify unconditionally that the Amendment was part of the Constitution without having to endorse the Congress's assertion that the withdrawals were ineffective.

There were additional ratifications and rescissions; by 2003, the Amendment had been ratified by every state in the Union as of 1868:[21]
Oregon (withdrew October 15, 1868)
Virginia (October 8, 1869, after having rejected it on January 9, 1867)
Mississippi (January 17, 1870)
Texas (February 18, 1870, after having rejected it on October 27, 1866)
Delaware (February 12, 1901, after having rejected it on February 7, 1867)
Maryland (1959)
California (1959)
Oregon (1973)
Kentucky (1976, after having rejected it on January 8, 1867)
New Jersey (2003, after having rescinded on February 20, 1868)
Ohio (2003, after having rescinded on January 15, 1868)

Controversy over ratification

In 1968, the Utah Supreme Court diverged from the habeas corpus issue in a case to express its resentment against recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court under the Fourteenth Amendment, and to attack the Amendment itself:

In order to have 27 states ratify the Fourteenth Amendment, it was necessary to count those states which had first rejected and then under the duress of military occupation had ratified, and then also to count those states which initially ratified but subsequently rejected the proposal.

To leave such dishonest counting to a fractional part of Congress is dangerous in the extreme. What is to prevent any political party having control of both houses of the Congress from refusing to seat the opposition and then without more passing a joint resolution to the effect that the Constitution is amended and that it is the duty of the Administrator of the General Services Administration to proclaim the adoption? Would the Supreme Court of the United States still say the problem was political and refuse to determine whether constitutional standards had been met?

How can it be conceived in the minds of anyone that a combination of powerful states can by force of arms deny another state a right to have representation in the Congress until it has ratified an amendment which its people oppose? The Fourteenth Amendment was adopted by means almost as bad as that suggested above.

A lot of "POLITICS and THREATS" in this 14th amendment

[dannno]

Honestly, does this shit really matter to anyone aside from desperate McCain fans?

It should matter to everyone.

Did you know that the birth certificate that was on his website was different from the one factcheck provided? Did you know factcheck donated millions of dollars to Obama's campaign?

I'm not saying Obama was born in Kenya for sure, but this is something that should be looked into.. and I would prefer McCain loses, to be honest. I think no matter what happens with this lawsuit, Americans will vote in Obama on Nov. 4. What will happen then? Who knows.

[DAFTEK]

So is this why Obama just had to go to Hawaii in the last minute and leave his wife to campaign for him?

Why didn't she go with him then if his grandma was about to crap out? :rolleyes:

If it smells like cow shit and it takes like cow shit it probably is a bunch of cow shit don't you think?.. :)

[Lord Xar]

Honestly, does this shit really matter to anyone aside from desperate McCain fans?

Following the rule of law, following the constitution, having integrity and honesty is NOT a partisan issue. ALL AMERICANS should be given the answers they deserve and need from the highest office in the land.

[dsentell]

This is important because it is the law. Makes me shudder that the Constitution will be ignored another time.

Privacy issue? I think not. When you willfully place yourself in the public light, you must expect to give up certain privacies -- such as making your income tax returns public.

To require a candidate to prove that he legally qualifies for the position that he seeks is not asking too much -- it should be the norm . . .

I agree, and if he says he's a "US born citizen" then shut everyone up, ending the lawsuits and the conspiracy theories by releasing his birth records.

Of course you do realize the 14th Amendment was never ratified, right?

Yes, but it doesn't change my argument. It doesn't effect presidential requirements regardless of whether it was passed or not, but the arguments being used to claim Obama is not a citizen are 14th Amendment type arguments - which many of us wouldn't agree with but the population as a whole doesn't understand.

This is an excellent chance to educate people on the differences in citizenship, but to do so will require ignoring much of the republican party pushing the other interpretation, which is ok because they are neocons anyway :rolleyes:

A lot of "POLITICS and THREATS" in this 14th amendment

None of the civil war amendments were passed legally, the 13th, 14th, and 15th. The 13th is the only amendment to start out with the amendment number "The Thirteenth Amendment" as part of the actual amendment itself, which may have been to help remove another 13th amendment to the constitution that was published in law books before the civil war. The 16th amendment was never ratified which you can look up online, and the 17th amendment was never ratified because it affected States suffrage in the senate, which required unanimous consent not 3/4ths according to the constitution.

And you could probably go on. Thats 5-6 amendments right there, all vitally concerned with changing this country from a federation of republics as founded to something else.

[BeFranklin]

Also when it was proposed in Congress it wouldn't have passed except they illegally threw a member out of the chamber when it came time to vote on the amendment. The person they ejected was against the amendment.

Also Nevada and West Virginia were not (and still to this day are not) legal States as set forth by the US Constitution. Therefore their votes should not be counted but they were.

Scary to think that much of our idea about "due process" is from an unratified or illegally ratified amendment. :eek:

Ohio was never legally admitted into the union either :p

They tried to retroactively admit it in 1953. I guess some hundred plus years of votes are invalid, including the Taft presidency.

West Virgina was illegally split from a state without its consent according to the Constitution. Not sure I know about Nevada.

[Matt Collins]

West Virgina was illegally split from a state without its consent according to the Constitution. Exactly. Lincoln wanted another state supporting him, so he took loyal counties from Virginia and made them into West Virginia; patently unconstitutional.

[Matt Collins]

The 16th amendment was never ratified which you can look up onlineBill Benson's book "The Law that Never Was" http://www.thelawthatneverwas.com (http://www.thelawthatneverwas.com)
