Limbaugh at Birther Ground Zero

By
Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 10:16 am

Nice catch by Andrea Nill — Queen’s Medical Center, where Rush Limbaugh is being treated after experiencing chest pains yesterday, happens to be a crucial location in the birther mythos. A UPI article mistakenly identified that hospital, not the Kapi’olani Medical Center, as the birthplace of Barack Obama. And even though the article was corrected, the “no one can say where Obama was born” myth has persisted. (This is often how conspiracy theories work. Many 9/11 conspiracies are based on flawed information from articles that were published in a hurry on the morning of the attack.)

I’d add that Limbaugh played a pivotal role in elevating “birtherism” from the very far fringes of the discourses into a sort of dog whistle for right-wingers. On his Oct. 23, 2008 show, Limbaugh responded to the news that Obama would travel to Hawaii to visit his grandmother on her deathbed by speculating whether the candidate was trying to cover up the truth about his birth certificate.

Who announces days in advance they’re rushing to the side of a loved one who is deathly ill but keeps campaigning in a race that’s said to be over, only to go to the loved one’s side days later?  See, I think this is about something else.  You know what’s really percolating out there?  I’ve been laying low on this because it hasn’t met the threshold to pass the smell test on this program. This birth certificate business, this lawsuit that a guy named Philip Berg filed in Philadelphia in August for Obama to produce his genuine birth certificate and he still hasn’t replied. You’ve got a deathly ill grandmother, you are going to rush to her side a few days from now, when you first announced this, you’re going to rush, you’re going to hurry, you’re going to make tracks, you’re going to get over there because you don’t want your grandmother to die before you got there like your mother did, but somehow you keep campaigning, you take three days to get over there, if he’s left yet, and this birth certificate business, I’m just wondering if something’s up.  I have no clue, and folks, I’m telling you, this has not reached the threshold until now, and it’s popping up all over the place. There are a lot of people now that are starting to speculate and be curious about this.

I don't get it – are you saying the same thing happened with Rush as with Obama? Did the original AP article get the hospital wrong? (Originally the story came out as Rush is at Kapiolani and now they corrected it to say Rush is at Queens?) Is the AP saying he is at both hospitals? (You know, like there is reports all over the Internet about how he was born at both hospitals).

I think you are trying to make something out of nothing, trying to use some sort of Alinksy attack and correlate it to Rush being in Hawaii and it having something to do with the birthers. Try again.

Did Limbaugh show his birth certificate when he was admitted to the Hospital? I heard he was rushed to the hospital in Hawaii and before I read which one I was thinking how ironic to be in the same Hospital where the President was born. The President can now crush Limbaugh with the very document at ground zero his birth certificate. Oh, I know he would not do this even if he could due to the fact that the evil Republican Govenor has sealed the record on that one. Aint life Grand.

The original UPI story (you're obviously reading very closely) got Obama's hospital of birth wrong. This was founding evidence for the “birther” movement… which Limbaugh indulged. And now he's at that hospital. That's all.

It's only a matter of time till the Birtherz manage to come up with a theory that Rush is secretly faking all of this so that he can get inside the system in Hawaii and burst forth holding the “real” birth certificate. Which will of course show that Obama is the child of Malcolm X and Jimmy Carter. And for a brief period in 1970 he was at a summer camp run by Raoul Castro and Hugo Chavez.

Barack Obama’s Selective Service registration card and accompanying documents show that questions about him are not only NOT over, but if the signature on the document is in fact his, our Commander-in-Chief may have committed a federal crime in 2008, well within the statute of limitations on the matter. If it is not his, then it’s proof positive that our next Commander-in-Chief never registered with the Selective Service as required by law. By law, he was required to register and was legally able to do so until the age of 26.
But the Selective Service System registration (”SSS Form 1″) and accompanying computer print-out (”SSS Print-out), below, released by the Selective Service show the oddities and irregularities, all of which indicate the document was created in 2008 and backdated.

Think about it! All Obama must do is release the Birth Certificate he mentions “looking at” on page 26 of “Dreams of My Father” and his college records and that will be the end of it all. The BC will either prove he was natural-born in Hawaii or he wasn't. The college records will say which name and which citizenship he used in college. Everything will then be covered and Obama can get back to being president or he will have to resign.

Hello David Weigel,

I see you keep repeating half-truths. Trying to confuse those reading your articles?

You could have written that Obama's sister also mentioned Queens hospital as a place of birth in an interview (in 2004). It is not just UPI who got the story “wrong”. Snopes.com also reported Queens hospital as Obama's birthplace.

I find it interesting that in the midst of eligibility questions and lawsuits it took Obama (6 months) until the end of January 2009 (after being sworn in) to send a letter to Kapiolani and claim it as his birthplace.

Is there any other source that mentions Kapiolani Hospital as Obama's birthplace prior to January 2009?

When are you going to publish the interview with Janice Okubo? She could confirm if DoH issued COLB to Obama on June 6, 2007.

How about Honolulu Advertiser story about Obama being foreign born (this was mentioned in the article (January 8, 2006) about Tammy Duckworth, while she was campaigning for US Congress seat in Illinois.

The archived version of the story has been modified by Honolulu Advertiser in July 2009: the current (scrubbed) version does not mention Obama's foreign birth.

Since you write like this Ricksteenbock person and claim to be a naturalized citizen like this Ricksteenbock person, and since both of you recycle the same tired, rebutted arguments put forward by America's least competent attorney and favorite adulteress, Orly Taitz, it's hard for me not to conclude that the three of you are, shall we say, intimately acquainted.

If this is not true, please prove it by providing photographic evidence of your birth certificate and naturalization papers. Since you're such a fanatic for paperwork you surely must have them at your fingertips. Otherwise, I'll be forced to conclude that you are indeed Orly Taitz, and are too much of a coward to say so.

First, the President makes $400,000, not $200,000, plus non-taxable travel and entertainment budgets.

Second, neither the President nor his family receive “security for life.” The law was changed to ten years after the end of the President's term of office.

Third, you most certainly are a birther, since a good and loyal American would treat President Obama just like any of his 43 white predecessors and accept him as a natural born citizen, sans college records, kindergarten pictures, etc.

Fourth, unless and until you provide written proof of your identity, the similarities in writing style and misuse of the English language are close enough to that of Naturalizedcitizen (who may or may not be Orly Taitz) that in the absence of such written proof, I have no choice but to regard you as one of NC's sockpuppets.

John Charlton: The Supreme Court case which will void the entire Obama presidency…
Nov. 25, 2009)— It is often asked whether the usurpation of the presidency by Barack Hussein Obama will ever have a remedy in the courts. But the fact is that there already is a remedy in the courts: the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 1 Cranch 137 137 (1803).
That case was the first to expressly indicate that no action of Congress was valid if it contravened the Constitution. Since the U.S. Constitution requires that a President be a natural born citizen; and since the Supreme Court has in 4 cases used the term “natural born citizen” only in reference to one born in the U.S.A. of parents who were citizens at the time of his birth, it follows inexorably that Obama’s election as president by the Joint Session of Congress, on January 8, 2009, is null and void. Against this legal conclusion there is no argument.

There is an extremely good argument against this, O Person With A Thousand Handles:

The President was born in Hawaii and is thus a natural born citizen, so there is no Constitutional conflict.

Obama, who just had announced that “no information can be kept private indefinitely, still hasn't released:
His REAL social security number (he has several)
ANY of his school records
A certificate of live birth.

In addition, a record of his grandmother stating that he was “born in Kenya” is readily available on the web. Is his Grandmother lying?

Why is he making all government records available, but NONE of his own? And why is NOBODY in the media curious about this?

He's also being disingenuous. Based on a little judicious research, I have learned that our Mr. Steenbock (who, alas, is not Orly Taitz, and I apologize for thinking that he might be) is 48 or 29, about a year longer than I am. He has owned his own business for the past two years, or since 2007-2008. Not only that, prior to that he worked for the same company for over 28 years, or since 1980-1981.

That means that our worthy Mr. Steenbock *has never had to produce papers proving his right to work in the United States.” His longest-term (and probably first) job, obtained when he was just a few years out of high school, started before the laws requiring that job candidates show a passport, birth certificate, driver's license, or Social Security card upon beginning a job, and since he currently works for himself, he may or may not have had to produce any proof of the right to work in this country before starting up.

Best of all, our new friend owns a Chevy dealership…which means that unless there is something very wrong with his cars (not likely, since Chevys have improved dramatically over the past decade), he probably saw a big upswing in his business during the Cash for Clunkers program instituted by the very same President he now wishes to see removed from office because Orly Taitz thinks he's not a natural born citizenship.

I wonder if the irony has occurred to him?

Two things:

That includes guest workers, people here on a “worker with special skills/talents” visa, or legal residents who have a green card but have not yet obtained citizenship.

Second, I took up your invitation below and Googled your name. If you are the same Rick Steenbock who owns a car dealership, it's quite likely that you've never had to bother with producing right-to-work papers. Your first job started before employers had to start checking for same, around 1989-1990, and you currently work for yourself.

“You could have written that Obama's sister also mentioned Queens hospital as a place of birth in an interview (in 2004).”

That's your story. Now here's how Maya Soetero tells it:

“I assure you that my brother was born at the Kapiolani Women's and Children's Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Punahou Street, a few blocks up from where our grandparents helped to raise him. Now I have been used, actually, in this campaign to set my brother up as 'The Other.' When my brother became a senator, I had a student, who was perhaps 15 or 16 years old, at the University of Hawaii Laboratory School. It's the adjoining high school. He interviewed me because it was pretty cool that a local boy had become a U.S. senator. That was a big deal. And so I said, yes, it is, it's wonderful. I said, 'and he was born just up the road at Kapiolani Women's and Children's.' Bennett, who is the wonderful young man, I guess made a mistake and said that he was born at Queens, which is also just up the road – perhaps journalistic standards being what they are for 15 year-olds, understandably. And so I have been placed on hundreds of blogs saying that I have named two different places where my brother was born. And this is all based on a high school newspaper. It's viewed as proof that we are part of this vast conspiracy.”

http://wamu.org/audio/dr/09/12/r2091201-28914.asx

“Is there any other source that mentions Kapiolani Hospital as Obama's birthplace prior to January 2009?”

And my question to you: is there any original source, other than the high school newspaper, that claims that Obama was born at Queens?

“When are you going to publish the interview with Janice Okubo? She could confirm if DoH issued COLB to Obama on June 6, 2007.”

She can't, as the DoH has made crystal clear. (Please re-read http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/obama.html.)

Perhaps you get some rise out of asking the question, or perhaps you think that by annoying people they will break the law to satisfy your needs.

You pretend that the DoH is running away from the issue of Obama's COLB. In fact, the DoH specifically states on its website:

“State law prohibits the DOH for disclosing any information about a Hawaii vital record unless the requestor has a direct and tangible interest in the record. This includes verification of vital records and all the information contained in a record.”

You may fool some people by pretending the above quote doesn't exist, but you aren't fooling me.

Blaming the 15 year old for the story, how convenient. Poor Obama, so many journalists made a mistake about his birthplace. It is a simple coincidence. Honolulu Advertiser publishes an article in 2006 about birth in Indonesia, then modifies the story in 2009 by removing the sentence about Indonesia birth.
The ambassador of Kenya is also “confused” about the Obama's birthplace question.

The SSA administration made a mistake by issuing a SSA number normally issued for residents of Connecticut. This must have been done by “birthers” who anticipated that Obama would one day run for POTUS, LOL!

I see that you have no reference to show that Kapiolani hospital was mentioned as Obama's birthplace prior to January 24, 2009 (six months after the first eligibility lawsuit). At that time, left wing “mythbusting” web site snopes.com was still reporting Queens hospital as his birthplace.

If Okubo cannot confirm the COLB, how about Fukino? She had no trouble proclaiming Obama a “natural-born American citizen” (whatever the phrase means). According to Hawaii law, Fukino must answer the question about sources used when issuing a legal opinion – she refuses to say what was used as a basis for her second press release.

The DoH refuses to produce a manual describing the administrative procedure for using the status phrases “Filed By Registrar” and “Accepted by State Registrar”. Why is it that they did not post it on their web site: covering the true meaning of the COLB?

You are an apologist for Obama. Nobody needs to violate the law to satisfy my needs. The DoH needs to follow the law and stop hiding the public information.

Comment posted January 5, 2010 @ 1:56 am

Once Obama published the COLB, the data is in public domain – there is no privacy to be protected, unless he lied.

There is an opinion letter by the office of OIP that was used in the past as a justification for publishing the data previously made public by the person whose privacy was in question.

The intention for Hawaii UIPA laws is to provide information to public. The public's right to know outweighs claims of privacy protection in case when there is no private data to be protected.

Which law allowed Dr. Fukino to proclaim Obama a natural-born American citizen? Why does she refuse to provide an explanation of that phrase and sources used in preparation of her second press-release (July 2009).

“Blaming the 15 year old for the story, how convenient.”

That's what Maya emphatically says happened. If you think it's a big cover up, why not just ask Bennett.

“Honolulu Advertiser publishes an article in 2006 about birth in Indonesia, then modifies the story in 2009 by removing the sentence about Indonesia birth.”

The Honolulu Advertiser should have asked the Honolulu Advertiser why it ran Obama's birth announcement back in 1961. Unfortunately, it looks like this article was an example of sloppy journalism: there was no evidence presented for the claim that Obama was born in Indonesia, just a casual statement. Nor has any evidence come out suggesting Obama was born in Indonesia. But I suppose this story by this crack journalist – who was corrected by the paper one week later – must be the smoking gun to prove without a doubt Obama was born in Indonesia.

“The ambassador of Kenya is also 'confused' about the Obama's birthplace question.”

Now we have a smoking gun that Obama was also born in Kenya! Now I see why Obama is such a threat – only an alien lifeform could be born on two sides of the planet at the same time!

The Kenyan ambassador says they're thinking of marking Obama's birthplace. I'll believe it when I see it.

By the way, I would like to think that you're as persistent in demanding index records and original hospital records from Kenya as you are for Hawaii, though I haven't seen evidence of your interest in official Kenyan records just yet.

“The SSA administration made a mistake by issuing a SSA number normally issued for residents of Connecticut.”

A person's SSN, as hopefully you should understand, is based upon when it was issued and the zip code from where the application was received. The going rumor says that Obama's supposed SSN has a number which was issued in Connecticut between 1976-77. The problem is, if true, that would mean Obama (or his mother) would have had to have applied for the SSN from Connecticut. Obviously, Obama was attending school at Punahou at the time, which renders this possibility at nil.

Of course, there was no reason or articulable motive for Obama to fake an SSN. Even if he wasn't a U.S. citizen (which I raise only for theoretical purposes), he still could have obtained one as a permanent resident in Hawaii. So, the reasonable conclusion is that the Obama conspiracy researchers have detoured down a dead end.

“The DoH refuses to produce a manual describing the administrative procedure for using the status phrases “Filed By Registrar” and “Accepted by State Registrar”. Why is it that they did not post it on their web site: covering the true meaning of the COLB?”

The more reasonable explanation is there was no such manual in the first place.

As for the COLB, its true meaning is evidenced by the words “This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.” Please explain to me why the State of Hawaii would issue such a document regarding Obama's Hawaii birth if the state deemed his birth records as not adequate enough to be “accepted.”

“You are an apologist for Obama.”

You can suggest whatever you wish about my motives. That is not a substitute for a viable argument.

“Nobody needs to violate the law to satisfy my needs. The DoH needs to follow the law and stop hiding the public information.”

There's nothing being hidden that you are entitled to obtain or review under Hawaii law.

“Once Obama published the COLB, the data is in public domain – there is no privacy to be protected, unless he lied.”

Sorry, but that's not how the law works, and that is certainly not how the DoH has interpreted it. The DoH is not in a position to judge whether a particular vital record is “public.” They can only judge whether the individual seeking the information has a “direct and tangible interest” in the record. Joe Q. Public expressly doesn't qualify under statutory law, regardless of whether they have inquiring minds.

“The intention for Hawaii UIPA laws is to provide information to public. The public's right to know outweighs claims of privacy protection in case when there is no private data to be protected.”

Interesting proposal, but your purported “balancing test” does not exist under current Hawaii law.

“Which law allowed Dr. Fukino to proclaim Obama a natural-born American citizen?”

I've said before, I think she was skirting close to the edge in terms of Hawaii law. She can probably get away with it because she didn't actually reveal specific vital information – she merely excluded certain general possibilities about his birth.

“Why does she refuse to provide an explanation of that phrase and sources used in preparation of her second press-release”

I think by process of elimination it's clear she uses that in the terms most Americans understand the phrase to mean – born in the United States. Clearly, if she understood it to mean two U.S. citizen parents, she wouldn't have said it.

For all intents and purposes she has said what her source was – she is on the record as saying she has seen his original vital records.

You can logically infer from the above that, according to the original vital records, Obama was born in the United States. That's all you need to know with regard to the NBC question.

Do you think people are stupid to believe such statement? How is it possible to write a computer program to print a copy of a COLB using the data from database and not have a rule when to use either “Filed By Registrar” or “Accepted by State Registrar” phrase.

The State of Nevada posted such information on the web. Hawaii is hiding explanation on their use of these phrases.

I will be able to answer your question once I learn the meaning of the two phrases. The law makes the explanation of administrative procedures available to public upon request, yet the DoH is hiding the answer.

You keep “forgetting” to mention this part of the Hawaii law (92F-12) making the following information public:

(1) Agency rules and general policies

(15) Information collected for the purpose of making
information available to the public

The (1) mandates publishing of the explanation for the status phrase.
The (15) covers an explanation that Dr. Fukino must provide about sources she used in writing her press-releases.

Quote from the UIPA law:
—————————————————————
Thus, part I of the UIPA requires that the UIPA be applied and construed to promote its underlying purposes and policies, which are:
(1) To promote the public interest in disclosure;
(2) To provide for accurate, relevant, timely and complete records;
(3) To enhance government accountability;
(4) To make government accountable to individuals in the collection, use, and dissemination of information relating to them; and
(5) To balance the individual privacy interest and the public interest, allowing access unless disclosure would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

Given this direction that the UIPA be interpreted to promote open government, any doubt regarding disclosure of a record
should likely be resolved in favor of access.

This is what I simply don't get. The only reason the “filed by” and “accepted by” terms would have any relevance to our discussion is if one of those terms suggests that the birth records are somehow incomplete, insufficient, or not properly registered or on file with the state.

But if that were so, we would expect that COLBs could only be found with one of the terms, and never the other. After all, by issuing the COLB – which has near conclusory effect in the courts – the state is effectively standing behind the birth information it discloses on the document. One would not reasonably expect the state to take such an action in connection with unreliable or incomplete birth information, which is exactly what you are suggesting or implying.

It's not speculation. I have pointed out that whatever materials you seek, should they exist, logically have no bearing on whether Obama's birth was properly registered by the State of Hawaii. The COLB states that Obama's birth was registered. Furthermore, the COLB itself was issued – through which the State of Hawaii stands behind the facts of Obama's birth. End of controversy.

So you can wage war on the DoH if you'd like, and best of luck to you. And perhaps you can find out that the DoH hid purported “filed by” versus “accepted by” guidelines. Congratulations if you do.

But you have yet to advance one single, solitary coherent argument why any of us should care one way or another whether you obtain these materials or not.

Obama's COLB does not say “registered” but “filed”.

Let me use the IRS as an example. If I sent a tax return, would the IRS accept it at face value. If there was not enough supporting evidence they would ask for clarification and submission of additional documents.
What would be the tax return status at that point: “filed” or “accepted”?

The IRS makes a distinction between people who filed (incomplete) tax returns and those who filed complete tax returns.

The use of language in Nevada suggests that birth registration is similar – it is a two phase process.
There are rules to follow in order for birth registration to be accepted.

Hawaii DoH has an explanation about the use of these two phrases – as I pointed out to you earlier – they had to explain it to programmers when records were converted to electronic form.

You can dance as much as you want but the DoH is obligated to provide this information according to 92F-12 section 1.

Very entertaining. Completely false, of course, but entertaining. (That's why this board is so amusing.)

A person who is born in the U.S., and therefore a citizen by birth/natural born citizen, by definition cannot be an “illegal alien,” no matter what other citizenship he may hold.

Having said that, even if Obama Sr. had naturalized as a U.S. citizen, Obama Sr. would have retained his UK citizenship, and therefore Obama Jr. would still have been born a UK citizen by descent even though he would have been a U.S. citizen at birth and had two U.S. citizen parents. So under your theory, even a natural born U.S. citizen can be an illegal alien, which of course is a paradox.

Furthermore, under your theory, Presidents James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, and Chet Arthur were also illegal aliens, because each had fathers who were British citizens. (And remained so even after they took on U.S. citizenship.)

Lastly, neither Obama, Sr. nor Obama, Jr. were UK citizens after 1963. Both lost their UK citizenship by operation of the Kenya Independence Act 1963, passed by the UK House of Commons. Additionally, Obama Jr. lost his Kenyan citizenship in 1984 because he failed to renounce his U.S. citizenship.

Your theories are amusing, but little else.

“The IRS makes a distinction between people who filed (incomplete) tax returns and those who filed complete tax returns.”

Tax returns and birth records are not analogous for the argument you are making. The IRS never sends you a letter or calls you saying, “Your return is complete, therefore we will take no action.” You only come to believe over time that your tax return is acceptable because the IRS hasn't contacted you.

Birth records, on the other hand, are publicly confirmed. Logically, you can infer the birth record has been filed/accepted by the state because the state has it published in a local newspaper. And that's exactly what the State of Hawaii did regarding Obama's birth.

And what of those Nevada rules you constantly refer to? What substantive distinction do they make between “accepted” and “filed”? Zero. They are virtually interchangeable.

NRS 440.620, for example, speaks of “acceptance for filing,” which independently suggests acceptance takes place before. On the other hand, NRS 440.630 refers to certificates “accepted” after “the time prescribed for filing,” which independently suggests acceptance takes place after filing.

Taken together in context, however, it becomes clear that acceptance and filing are merely duplicate ways of saying that the document has been received by the agency and is sufficient for registration.

The President already produced the legal birth certificate, over a year ago. It’s on the web for you and everyone else to see.

Also, if you truly think that he managed even to run for the Senate without undergoing an extensive and thorough background check, you are wrong. The *in-laws* of federal employees are checked to within an inch of their lives, to the point that FBI agents are told not to marry a certain person if their fiance/e’s relatives are even slightly suspect. The background check required for the President, Vice President, and Cabinet members overlooks nothing. Just because the government doesn’t tell Orly Taitz, or Phil Berg, or you, or any of the other birthers the details is no reason to think that the President and every member of his family wasn’t checked out in detail.

Real life is not a paperback thriller. The President was born in Hawaii. If you don’t like that, vote for someone else.

Rick, I’m sorry, but you’re confusing transgender with being gay. Transgender people have measurable physiological traits. My cousin was born female, but that’s just because during gestation her balls didn’t drop (trying to be simplistic for simplistic minds). When they ran a DNA sample on her, she came back male. So, your paranoia is misplaced and you need to be more understanding of differences that have nothing to do with anything other than God made this happen and accept them for who they are. Because, no matter what, we are all God’s children and if you believe that then you understand that we all have a place in God’s world.

Top radio hosts, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin and Lou Dobbs, have all said unequivocally and publicly that the Obama eligibility issue is legitimate and worthy. Still no Birth Certificate, except the Kenyan one, his father was a “transient alien” Brit married to the underage mother. He was adopted as Indonesian-Moslem Barry Soetoro, attended college as a Foreign Student, visited Pakistan on unknown visa, travelled a few times to Kenya as a young man(perhaps to renew his citizenship?). And he has already paid well-over a million dollars to cover this stuff up. Without the original BC he mentions “looking at” in 'Dreams of My Father' on page 26 and those college records he is a man without a country. Grandma Obama & Kenyan Ambassador both stated Obama was born in Kenya. Why would people like Alan Keyes, Dr. Michael Savage, Pat Boone, etc. make this stuff up? And if they did why wouldn't Obama have them charged with LIBEL? because he himself knows all too well they are right and that Obama is indeed an illegal-alien. The king is not wearing any clothes.

No substantive (i.e. non-semantic) distinction between “filed by” and “accepted by” has been shown to exist (either in Hawaii or in any other state, including Nevada). Therefore, I wouldn't expect for there to be regulations explaining such a non-existent distinction.

Your argument is the equivalent of demanding regulations explaining the difference between “dead” and “deceased.” If no regulations concerning the distinction between these terms is produces, it must be because the agency is covering it up.

Just as in the O.J. Simpson case, our legal system has been used to avoid a 'perceived' violent and damaging reaction by the general population to justice being served – and so, one more cowardly judge resorts to tortured logic and avoids doing the right thing. This lawsuit was never about military personnel avoiding deployment to a war zone! It has always been about Obama's ineligibility to serve as President of the United States and to issue orders as Commander-in-Chief, potentially placing hundreds and thousands of lives in harms way.

Since the site won’t let me reply below, here is my reply to your comment “And I will raise
my kids male and female to be proud and strong of who they are they will
not feel the need to make some strange change in their life.”

I know a former Marine, Force Recon to boot, who found out in his late 30s that he was biologically both male and female. Further, he learned that the male organs were in a precancerous state due to earlier treatments for his “low testosterone levels,” and that he should have had the penis and testicles removed as a baby and been raised as a woman.

That “man” is now a woman, and is happier, healthier, and saner than she ever was a man. The “strange change” she made saved her life.

And oh, one more thing: when she was still apparently male, she enlisted in the Marine Corps. She managed to make Sergeant before she mustered out, and now has a brand spanking new uniform she wears on Veterans’ Day and to the VFW. It has all of her service ribbons and decorations on it, as she earned them…including the ones reflecting her time as a platoon leader in Force Recon, the Marine equivalent of the Green Berets, and all the black ops work she did overseas that she still can’t talk about.

Too bad we never should have trusted her in the first place because of the “potential for terrorism,” eh?

I’m sorry, but you seem *very* upset by the mere idea of a transsexual making a “strange change” by “cutting off his penis.” No one is forcing you to become female, nor “mutilate” your own body, so why do you care? It’s none of your business, to be blunt.

You know, I know someone who’s strong and proud, an ex-Marine, to be exact. He served his country with distinctive, joined Force Recon, and worked on black ops missions during his time. Smart guy who’s now on a disability pension because of the injuries he incurred serving his country.

And you know what? All along, “he” should have been a “she.” My friend was born intersexed and never knew it until the day her doctor told her that the abdominal pains she’d been suffering from were ovaries that had been damaged by the testosterone her parents had made her take “to be normal” when she was an adolescent. She also found out that her testicles showed signs of becoming cancerous for the same reason. The “vitamins” her well-meaning parents had given her so she’d be “proud and strong” of who “he” was were literally killing her by inches.

So she underwent what you’d call a “strange change” and had her body altered to what it should have been all along. She’s happier, healthier, and more at peace with herself than she’s ever been in her life, and her buddies down at the VFW think that’s just fine.

I’ll bet there’s someone like that in your hometown. Someone who was raised to be “strong and proud” who was living a lie, whether they knew it or not. Someone who didn’t find out until adulthood that what they’d thought was true wasn’t. Someone who finally found some happiness and peace after they underwent a “strange change.” Someone who looks absolutely normal and ordinary.

Think about it, sir. Just think about it. And then ask yourself just why you’re so upset about it, and what sort of lesson your intolerance is teaching your children.

Somehow I don’t think it’s quite the lesson you think you’re teaching them.

I responded by saying (using sarcasm) that it would have been a mighty big coincidence if two different Barack Obamas lived at the same addresses, where the usurper-in-chief Barack Obama lived throughout years.

The SSA number reported for Barack Obama at those addresses (in Chicago) was used by the Usurper, not some other person.

The PI report (lady from Ohio), submitted to judge Carter, says that Obama used only one SSA # from 1986 until present.

I think it is trivial for investigators to find out what SSA # somebody used when applying for apartment rental, credit cards, mortgage…

It is very unlikely that PI falsified SSA number and sent the report to court signed under the penalty or perjury, because her work could be easily verified by another investigator using the paid database search.

You don't like the result of that report because it forces you to blame the SSA office in order to defend Obama. You would want us to believe that the SSA office was incompetent for issuing the number normally assigned to a resident of Connecticut to Obama who was resident of Hawaii at the time when he obtained the number.

PI report submitted to judge Carter mentions only one SSN.

It is not difficult to believe that this report is true because it is routinely done on a daily basis throughout the USA and it can be easily replicated by another investigator. Would PI sent her report to the court under the penalty of perjury if she had manipulated the report – not a very likely scenario.

Even if we could agree that Hawaii DoH confirmed Obama's birth, we would not be able to say whether such confirmation was based on a birth registration by a relative or a hospital.

There is no evidence to support the official story that Obama was born in the Kapiolani hospital.

1. DEFENDANTS don't have to prove a damn thing. PLAINTIFFS have to produce proof of wrongdoing. Orly Taitz and her merry band of the poorly trained and incompetent haven't proved a damn thing. Quit trying to apply non-American legal standards to American law.

2. There is not one speck of evidence that a REASONABLE person would find compelling to support any of this. Quite the contrary. The whole point of the birther movement – that the President was not born in Hawaii – is predicated on the idea that a heavily pregnant 18 year old with no money would fly 10,000 miles into a war zone to give birth in a city hundreds of miles from her nearest in-law. For sheer stupidity this has no equal, even among conspiracy theorists. It would be more reasonable to suggest that the President is a space alien.

3. This is a false comparison, and you know it. John McCain freely admitted that there was potentially a problem with him being born in the Panama Canal Zone. He submitted this to Congress, which investigated and found that he was indeed natural born. There was no such suspicion about President Obama until he began running for President, when all the conspiracy nuts, racists, and Birch-sympathizers came out of the woodwork. The only double standard is that, as usual, a black man is being held to a much higher standard than a white man in hopes that he'll fail.
