The people who think Barack Obama was not born in the US are negatively referred to as “birthers.” They believe that Barack Obama was not born in the US and if he was that he has dual citizenship as a British subject because his father was a British subject. There have been many inquiries into this and they have been stymied by the Obama regime as a lot of money has been spent to keep the long form birth certificate from being released.

The new Governor of Hawaii has vowed to put an end to these stories by releasing information that proves Obama was born in Hawaii and is thus, an American citizen.

When this controversy was brewing a Hawaii state official claimed that documentation exists that shows Obama is a US citizen. Snopes reports that Hawaii officials have verified that Obama has a birth certificate on file which was enough for them to label the issue as false (that Obama is not a natural born citizen). The issue is cloudy because Hawaiian laws at the time of his birth allowed the registration of births that did not take place in Hawaii. The newspaper announcements of the birth would have been triggered by the registration and do not necessarily indicate he was born there.

Snopes is not the only one to report that there is a real birth certificate.

There is a problem in all of this because Governor Abercrombie, who said he would release information, now says that they have not been able to locate a long form birth certificate. He claims there is a written entry of the birth in the archives (which would have been done if the birth were merely recorded in accordance with the law of the time) but that there is no birth certificate. A written entry later entered into a database would generate the COLB that has been passed off as proof he was born there.

This will further fuel the issue because the “birthers” have claimed this was the case all along. Now the question will be, if state officials verified a birth certificate (as per Snopes and those official’s own statements), where is it? It could not have simply disappeared and we have been told that no one ordered his birth certificate be handled any differently than the birth certificates of others. Once again, where is it?

Perhaps Dr. Fukino, who verified Obama’s citizenship, only used the archive entry and gave a misleading statement about it. Perhaps Snopes and others inferred more from her statement than was actually stated. But there is a problem with this as well because Fukino earlier reported that there was indeed a 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. [emphasis mine] KITV ABC

So the question remains, if there was a birth certificate in 2008, where is it now? Notice that Fukino said that it was in accordance with state policies and procedures. If Fukino meant those in place when Obama was born then it might very well be a recorded birth.

Even though Abercrombie cannot find the birth certificate that Fukino claims to have seen, we are supposed to take comfort in his statement that anyone who wants to know the truth should just ask him. He, after all, says he was there. The problem is that he lied when he made the original statement because he says he was there and then says he was not at the hospital. What he likely meant is that he was in Hawaii at the time and then some period later he saw the young lad. He cannot claim to have witnessed the birth (he already said otherwise) and he cannot expect people to just take his word for it.

He is an Obama supporter and would lie through his teeth. Hell, he is a politician so you know he is lying when his lips are moving. No, I think I will go by the Ronald Reagan policy of trust but verify and the trust part is in question because I do not trust any of them.

A contradiction exists because one official claims to have verified a birth certificate exists and one claims it cannot be found. This is a problem and adds fuel to the fire.

It is looking more and more like no one can prove Obama was born in the US.

As for me, I just want to see the proof. I hold him to the same standard expected of me when I was hired (I had to show my birth certificate) and when my kids registered for little league (I had to show their birth certificates).

Until such time, I remain skeptical. Call me a birther if you must but I don’t think it is too much to expect proof of any claim.

And one’s word, particularly the word of a politician, is not proof.

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Barack Obama’s records are held tighter than state secrets and if we applied the same security to our sensitive documents as he has to his records Julian Assange would not be a household name. Newly elected Hawaiian Governor Neil Abercrombie wants to put an end to one of the issues that has plagued Obama and that is the issue of his birth.

Abercrombie said he will look for a way to get the information out so that it will end the controversy once and for all.

Of course Abercrombie is not a disinterested party and has boldly claimed that he knows Obama was born in Hawaii. The problem with Abercrombie is that he contradicted himself in his statement attesting to Obama’s birth. The 72 year old claims to have been friends with Obama’s parents and stated that he was here for the birth:

“Maybe I’m the only one in the country that could look you right in the eye right now and tell you, ‘I was here when that baby was born.” Yahoo News

From a statement like that one can only conclude that Abercrombie was at the hospital and saw Obama’s mother go into the delivery room and later appear with a child. That is the only possible conclusion from a statement that he was “here for the birth.” It would make no sense to assume he meant in Hawaii because a lot of people were in Hawaii then and have no personal knowledge of the event which negates the claim to being the only person who can look you in the eye and make such a claim. Abercrombie gave the impression he was at the hospital.

But later in the article Abercrombie says he saw young Barry and his family at social events but that he was not at the hospital when Obama was born.

Abercrombie, 72, has said he remembers seeing Obama as a child with his parents at social events, although he acknowledged that he didn’t see his parents with their newborn son at the hospital. [emphasis mine BD]

So which is it? Was he here (at the hospital) or was he not? How can he say he was the only one here (meaning at the hospital) but then say he was not at the hospital?

Obama was born in August of 1961 and I was born before that date so I could say I was here when he was born depending on what the word here means.

I think there is no doubt he wanted to give the impression that he witnessed the birth.

But if he was never at the hospital that could not possibly be true…

Maybe Abercrombie did not see them at the hospital but was there for the birth. After all, wasn’t Obama born in a stall and placed in a manger?

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Newsweek is one of the lamestream media mouthpieces for Barack Obama and the Democrats. Given that this periodical is a firm supporter of the liberal/progressive destruction of America it is quite surprising to see this cover. Look at what it has printed on it:

The Making of a
Terrorist Coddling
Warmongering
Wall Street Loving
Socialistic
Godless
Muslim
President

*Who isn’t actually any of those things

If Obama isn’t actually any of these things then it means Newsweek is saying he is not the President. What does Newsweek know that we don’t?

This is quite a dilemma for the magazine. Newsweek cannot back off this and say it was mistaken about the president part or it admits that a mistake appears on the lost and if one mistake appears then there could be more than one. Newsweek cannot fix this problem without admitting that it could be in error on any item on the list and if it lets the list stand then it is admitting that Obama is not president, at least in the eyes of the people who made the cover.

Funny how things like this work out. In its eagerness to defend Obama the magazine actually insulted him. This is what happens when liberal/progressives live their lives of lies.

In the same spirit of living a lie, Obama was asked why so many people think he is a Muslim. He answered by saying he can’t go around with his birth certificate attached to his forehead. What does his birth certificate have to do with whether people believe he is a Muslim or not? Was Obama throwing the birther issue into the equation because racist and bigot no longer work or was he preoccupied with this issue?

I don’t know and I don’t care but I do know Don Surber had it right.

The birth certificate attached to his forehead would be better than the big L that is currently there…

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

The Free Republic website was shut down today and remains down after a posting about Barack Obama’s birth certificate. I am unclear as to whether the website went down due to a huge amount of traffic or if it went down due to other reasons.

In any event, Gateway Pundit and Citizen Wells are reporting why this happened. Evidently, someone claims to have helped Devorah Adler, a political consultant and opposition research specialist for the Democratic National Committee in the United States, forge a birth certificate for Barack Obama. It is the forged certificate that was used by Fact Check.

“HUGE NEWS AT FREEREPUBLIC!!!
“My name is Chanise Foxx. I work at a office supply store in Kenwood, IL. After nearly 3 years of silence and death threats to me and my family to stay quiet, I am compelled to come forward and tell the world my secret.

“I helped Obama campaign staffer Divorah Adler create a fake birth certificate for use in the famous Fact Check story to prove the world of Obama’s birth in the 2008 election. Divorah approached me in early 2007 and held onto the birth certificate until she released it in August 2008.

“As I’ve been making fake IDs part-time for local college students for about eight years now, faking a birth certificate was actually quite easy. Our first step was to get our hands on someone else’s birth certificate from Hawaii. We then created the stationary to match.

“Next, we had to create an embossed stamp and rubber signature stamp for Hawaiian officials. With the help of a high-resolution scanner at the store, I did most of my work at night when the place was vacant…””

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. If Chanise Foxx is a real person (and remains alive) it would be interesting to see her explain how (and why) she did what she claims and to see if she has any proof that she did it and of Adler’s involvement.

If any of this pans out it would make for some interesting drama in the weeks ahead.

Of course, this could be more Obama subterfuge to make people look like they are crazy.

He could clear it all up with $10 but he is too busy working on the health care takeover.

Let’s see how this plays out. Pop the popcorn and sit back.

The US government is moving to impose health care reform on citizens against their will. People will be forced to buy health insurance, the first time in history a person had to purchase something to be a legal citizen. The 60% of us who pay income taxes will end up paying for the health care of the 40% that do not until government realizes that it must start taxing down the line in order to afford the albatross it is imposing.

Government will also make our medical records electronic so that they can be accessed by health care professionals all around. The government will also allow the IRS and other federal agencies to access our records to verify our eligibility. Don’t worry, the government assures us that our records will be safe and that certain things like whether one had an abortion will be left out of the records (because they know the records will be infiltrated).

The government is able to keep us secure. We will be given the same security as Obama himself who is guarded by thousands of armed agents and security professionals who ensure that he is always safe. So remember, the same government that allowed Obama’s security to be breached will be in charge of securing your medical records.

Michaele and Tareq Salahi posed as guests to the State Dinner honoring India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh held at the White House. The Salahi’s were able to gain entry to the event even though they did not have an invitation, were not on the guest list, and were not in the data base of people cleared to enter such events. Basically, these two were able to get past all the security designed to keep Obama safe and they were able to have their pictures taken with Obama and Biden. Don’t you feel safe knowing your medical records will be protected by the same level of scrutiny that protects Obama?

Obama wants an investigation into the event to see how they were allowed to enter. No doubt their name played some part of this. There is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones would never have been allowed to enter. The diversity police had to let the exotically named Salahi’s in to the event. If they had meant to do harm to Obama and Biden there is little the Secret Service could have done to prevent it. This government is the same group of people responsible for our national security. Is there any question as to why these people were able to enter so easily?

It is possible that this couple will face prosecution for what they did. I ask, is what they did any different than illegals crossing our border? Why should this couple be prosecuted for entering a house that belongs to the American citizen when our government allows that to happen on a larger scale each and every day? Why should we punish the Salahis when we will not punish those who enter this country illegally? Since Obama and the Democrats want to reward illegals with citizenship then we should give the Salahis some kind of reward as well. All they did was get past security to enter a house that belongs to Americans. So they slipped past security, people do that every day on our southern border.

But not to worry, this same security minded government will protect your medical information with the same diligence that it protects Obama. But keep in mind that our government has people like Patrick Leahy who leak secrets to the media. The New York Times routinely published our secrets and helped our enemies in the war on terror. The information came from somewhere inside the government.

If you run for office and have some medical condition that could be embarrassing to you as a candidate there is no doubt it will be leaked to the papers. Obama had court records unsealed in order to embarrass and beat his opponents in Illinois. Is there any doubt that medical records will be part of any opposition research?

The only way to ensure that our records are safe is not to give them the same security as Obama, but to give them the same security as Obama’s long form birth certificate.

Or, scrap this health care overhaul and start fresh to enact common sense reform.

In November of 2010 we need to purge the government of those who are working against our desires.

After 9/11 a special, secure place was built for the Vice President to go to in the event of an emergency so that if something happened to the President he would be safe and ready to take over. The MSM frequently stated that VP Cheney was at an undisclosed location. That was a big joke with the liberals.

Jow Biden is now the VP and if there is ever an emergency and he is whisked off he will not be taken to an undisclosed location, he will be taken to a disclosed one. This is not because anyone wants him to be exposed to harm, it is because Biden is a moron who cannot keep his mouth shut.

When Biden attended the Gridiron Club dinner in DC he told people about the secret place.

According to Clift’s report on the Newsweek blog, Biden “said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment.”

Clift continued: “The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn’t be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall.” Fox News

Biden’s office is denying the story and saying that Big Mouth Joe was talking about an upstairs room that is believed to have been used by Cheney as an office. How many upstairs offices have huge steel doors? Biden’s description does not sound like any upstairs room I have ever seen.

Neighbors complained sometime after 9/11 about construction (at the VP residence) that included digging deep into the ground which would be more in line with what Biden said than the spin coming out of his office. Why would a second story room have a huge steel door with an elaborate lock, a connecting narrow hallway and shelves of communications equipment?

Biden is so full of himself and thinks he is so wonderful that he feels the need to go around and describe his importance. He makes claims that come from a deeply troubled mind. He is a scatter brain and he cannot keep his yap shut.

Disclosing secrets seems to be a common theme in this administration. Obama releases classified memos and Biden discloses his secret shelter’s location. If something bad happens the enemy will know where to find this moron. Fortunately for Biden if the enemy ever captures him they will pay us to take him back. A half an hour with his yap running would make the most hardened terrorist cry.

Here is a little hint that can help Obama and his peeps keep secrets.

Pretend they are all his birth certificate.

That is one document he has successfully kept under wraps.

What kind of country is this where classified information is freely released and a birth certificate is locked up tighter than Fort Knox?

The North Koreans are planning on launching a rocket ostensibly to put a satellite into space but analysts believe this is a test for a ballistic weapon. The NORKS have already played around with nuclear bombs. If they come up with a rocket that could deliver a nuclear payload they would be more trouble than they already are.

One US offical believes that the North Korean rocket could reach the state of Hawaii.

Asked if the North Korean rocket could reach the US states of [sic] Hawaii or Alaska, Admiral Mike Mullen told CNN: “In some cases, yes, they could probably get down to Hawaii.” Breitbart

Well, if it hit the Bureau of Records it would destroy Obama’s birth certificate (the real one, not the COLB they have been passing around) and end any hope of ever seeing it.

Then again, it is under lock and key and probably in a safe. Perhaps rescue workers could dig it out…

I wonder if this is the test Joe Biden told us about…

There have been many lawsuits regarding Barack Obama and his eligibility to be the president. Most of them have been dismissed with the claim that the person filing the suit had no standing in the court, that is the person could not show how he was directly harmed by Obama not being eligible. I think every American has standing because the president does things that affect us all. The courts see it differently though I think some of it has to do with cowardice. They are afraid what they might find.

A soldier has joined in a lawsuit demanding proof that Obama is eligible. The Certificate of Live Birth he presented was a computer generated form that listed some pieces of the information in the database but it was not his actual Birth Certificate that would show many more things including where he was actually born. Under the laws in Hawaii at the time Obama could have been registered in Hawaii even if he were born elsewhere.

The soldier alleges that Obama is not eligible and therefore is not his leader. Soldiers take an oath to uphold the Constitution and to protect it from all enemies foreign and domestic. They also take an oath to obey the orders of the president. If the soldier believes that Obama is not eligible then it is his duty to raise the question. Doing so upholds the Constitution and protects it. In addition, the soldier needs to know that the orders he is obeying are from a person who is eligible to give them.

I would think that there is no way the court could say that the soldier has no standing. He took an oath, an oath required of him, and his lawsuit is nothing more than fulfillment of that oath. How can the court say the soldier has no standing when the very issue affects every aspect of his professional career?

For me the red flag was raised when Obama spent nearly a million dollars to keep his birth certificate under lock and key. It was even more telling when the guy in charge of birth certificates said that a legal certificate was on file. He did not say that Obama was a citizen and since Hawaii had the funny rules about foreign births being registered there, the statement seemed to say, “yeah we have a legal paper but that is all we have.” He left wiggle room should the thing ever see the light of day.

It is quite telling that Obama’s legal folks are threatening Alan Keyes and filing suit to dismiss his case and to force him to pay the legal fees. This is just as telling as Obama hiding his birth certificate and the non statement of affirmation by the records guru in Hawaii.

I don’t know if Obama is eligible to be the president because he does not want me to know. For a guy who said he would have the most transparent administration in history his acts with regard to his birth certificate have been anything but transparent.

This soldier is doing the right thing. He is upholding his oath.

Obama could end all this by being transparent and spending the $10 it would cost for a certified copy of the birth certificate.

To the soldier I say HOOAH.

Change is on the way. You are the change we need. We need hope and change. This is our time and the time for change is now. With this mantra Barack Obama waltzed into the national scene. He portrayed himself as a regular guy, an outsider to DC politics as usual. The unfortunate reality is that Obama is a typical politician and there is no change in the future.

This guy touts the public education system and is beholden to the teacher’s union. However, he sends his daughters to private school and he did this long before he was elected on 4 November. Then he tapped the leader of public schools in Chicago (a basketball buddy) to be his head of education. The leader of the same school system he would not send his own children to.

Obama made sure he parlayed his Senate seat into a job for his wife where her salary more than doubled. He used questionable methods to have opponents removed from ballots so that he faced no opposition and he has nuanced his answers so that there would be no gotcha moment. Even people who cover for him have learned the Obama nuance as did Hawaii’s director of health, Dr. Chiyome Fukino:

“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.” KITV-ABC

Notice he never said Obama was born here, or that he is a citizen. He only states that the birth certificate is on file in accordance with state policies and procedures. This could mean that it is filed properly but more likely means that it is there in accordance with Hawaii policies that allowed foreign births to be registered in that state. This is nuance that the left has used as official word that Obama is indeed a citizen. Nowhere in that sentence does Dr. Fukina say that he affirms Obama is a citizen. Smart move because if it is discovered later that he is not, well that could mean jail time.

In any event, the average guy Obama and his change from the norm is on vacation in Hawaii. He is staying at a place that costs more to rent for one night than the monthly mortgage of most people (well most responsible people. Those who benefited from the Community Reinvestment Act might have mortgages that high).

The place where Obama is staying rents for $2500-$3500 a night and features 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, a pool and a spa. Now this might not seem like much. I mean, he is going to be the president of the US and he needs his Kennebunkport. Or, as his followers might suggest, a fortress of solitude.

What makes this a situation of politics as usual is that the listing for the place has been removed after the AP reported the details of it. Now it might be a matter of security but one would assume that if this were the case it would have been removed before he got there. Also, Oahu is an island and it is not too terribly difficult to guard a man who is staying on a private estate.

It is more likely that Obama did not want the unwashed masses who are losing their jobs because of Democratic failure to see him living the life of luxury. It would not be proper to have the people see The One living high on the hog in such bad economic times.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is nothing but typical political maneuvering. There is no change in that and this is nothing more than politics as usual.

But hey, they got a great shot of of Obama with his shirt off. That should give the left something to fawn over for a while. I can see Chris Matthews’ leg getting all tingly over this.

Arnold Schwarzenegger gave an interview and he said that he would love to be president one day, “if it were possible.” Schwarzenegger is the governor of California but he is ineligible to be the president. Some might think that it is because of the Constitution as pointed out in the article:

At the moment, becoming president would be impossible. Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria and became a U.S. citizen in 1983, is not a “natural born citizen” of the United States, as required by the Constitution. LA Times

Not being natural born is not what keeps Schwarzenegger from being eligible to run. What keeps him ineligible is that he made it known that he is not natural born. If he had a way to have all his records sealed, both here and in his native country, he could have claimed to have been born here and people would have no choice but to let him be president, provided he won the election.

That is exactly what we are doing with regard to Obama. He has yet to prove he was born here. Despite what the left says there has been no proof that he was born here and no official has stated that he was. Additionally, his birth certificate was never reviewed for authenticity. This has been hashed out before so I will not go into it again but comprehension is important with this issue.

As for Schwarzenegger, he screwed himself out of the chance to be president by doing things legally. His paperwork is out there for people to see and he has never said that he was born here. Obama claims he was but his granny said otherwise and the history shows that it is likely the case that he was born elsewhere.

I am just as happy that Schwarzenegger cannot run for the presidency. He is no different than John McCain in that he is a RINO who is willing to buy into liberal pap and to compromise principle. McCain was a far better selection than Obama but McCain is no conservative. Schwarzenegger is not one either and I would not want to see him occupy the White House.

We need true conservatives in office. When they run, they win because the majority in this nation hold conservative values. Despite what the left said about the last election being a repudiation of conservatism, it was not. George Bush is not a conservative and no conservative was in the general election.

The American public picked a far left liberal candidate over a moderately liberal one.

Sorry Arnie, you screwed yourself. For the rest of you non natural born citizens who want to run, start hiding your records now.
