Rep. Nathan Deal’s Birtherism, Investigated

By
Thursday, January 07, 2010 at 5:55 pm

On the subscription-only site Politijab — an essential source for anti-birther news — the ironically named “bogus info” posts a recollection of his/her conversation with Rep. Nathan Deal’s (R-Ga.) chief of staff. It’s the longest account anyone has of why Deal has sent a letter to the White House demanding President Obama’s citizenship. Read it after the jump.

I made phone contact with Todd Smith at apprx. 8:35 A.M.(DC time) I identified myself [and] began my conversation with Mr. Smith, Chief of Staff for Congressman Deal.

1. I asked Mr. Smith if Congressman Deal was going to release the letter he had sent to President Obama and he stated, “not at this time.” I asked Mr. Smith what the letter had requested from President Obama and he stated, “proof of President Obama’s citizenship and natural born citizen status so they could put this issue to rest.” I asked Mr. Smith if he was aware that President Obama had released his birth certificate online to factcheck and that the State of Hawaii had confirmed that President Obama was born in Hawaii. Mr. Smith said, “yes, but someone had told him that something on the back of the birth certificate was not right.” I asked Mr. Smith where he obtained this info and he would not tell me. Basically, Mr. Smith stated that they are waiting for the President to respond to their letter. Mr. Smith claims Congressman Deal has not done a press release on this and are not after publicity but are doing this because of his constituents concerns. Then I asked him if Mr. Smith was aware that release of the birth certificate (again) would not put this matter to rest as he claims Congressman Deal wants because of the nbc = 2 citizen parents BS. Mr. Smith states there are no other congressmen involved at the present time; however, they have discussed this issue with some other congressmen but would not say who. I asked if I could send Mr. Smith some information regarding this issue and he stated, “no, that he had all the information he needed.”

2. I asked Mr. Smith if Congressman Deal believed that to be a nbc = 2 citizen parents and he stated that he wasn’t sure what Congressman Deal believed but their constituents felt their was some questions regarding this issue (natural born citizen) that had merit. My response was of course, that in my opinion, this was well settled law. I asked to send him some info regarding this and he refused to accept any info.

3. I asked Mr. Smith if Congressman Deal supported the CGJ/AGJ and he did not answer my question one way or the other. So, not sure. I pointed out to Mr. Smith that these groups had already tried, convicted and sentenced President Obama in their online grand juries.

4. I asked Mr. Smith if Congressman Deal was aware that President Obama had been threatened. Mr. Smith was aware of those threats. I asked Mr. Smith if Congressman Deal was aware that judges who had rendered decisions in the eligibility lawsuits had been threatened, accused of treason, etc., etc. Mr. Smith stated, “that he was not aware of this.” I asked Mr. Smith if he wanted some information regarding this and he stated, “no”.

5. Mr. Smith asked me if I had contacted my representatives regarding this issue.(Deal letter) My reply was, “no, because none of my representatives had signed the letter to President Obama.” However, that I had spoken to some Congressmen’s (staffers) regarding this issue in the past. Mr. Smith asked who my reps were and I told him.

6. I was about to ask Mr. Smith if Congressman Deal had read the judges decisions in these eligibility lawsuits but Mr. Smith asked what my stance was regarding this issue. I told him that President Obama was eligible to be POTUS (had released his BC and Hawaii confirmed) and that if you were born in America, you were a natural born citizen–end of story. Mr. Smith stated, “this conversation is over” and would not answer any more of my questions, but asked for my name, which I gave him, again. (I identified myself and my State at the beginning of our conversation.) I stated, “fine, thank you”, and hung up the phone.

Throughout the entire conversation, Todd Smith was on the defensive and very rude. (Foggy, feel free to correct anything you see wrong in this as far as grammar and punctuation.)

Opinion: Todd Smith, Chief of Staff for Congressman Deal is a birther. Not sure about Congressman Deal because I could not get a straight answer out of Mr. Smith.

5 Justices in the Supreme Court Reviewed eligibility cases and all 5 were referred by various Justices into the Chambers. That alone shows that there are at least 5 Supreme Court Justices that believe there is a question around Obama's eligibility. If not, then these 5 cases would never have gone into the chambers. In the chambers the justices decided that the people who brought the cases did not have standing, so the votes did not go their way. Once someone has standing Obama's eligibility will go into the full court. There is no deny that Obama's eligibilty is questionable. His father was not a US Citizen and per Vattel's Law of Nations which our constitution is based on, Obama would not be a natural born citizen. This is as clear as day and the US Supreme Court knows this, they are just wating for a person who has standing. Every american who puts the constitution first knows that there is in fact a constitutional eligibilty issue with Obama. Obama knows it too or else he wouldn't be hiding all his information around this. And people who say he is eligible also know there is a big question mark around Obama.

nice try, bub, but the judges went to chambers because they knew birfers were just going to resubmit the same files to every single judge individually.

so rather than toss out the same files 9 times individually, they decided to save their time and went to chambers collectively to toss out the files once and for all. you haven't seen them reviewing any other birfer files since them, have you? i didn't think so.

the supreme court has never questioned obama's eligibility. john roberts swore him in.

george bush has never questioned it.
john mccain has never questioned it.
dick cheney has never questioned it..
hillary clinton has never questioned it.
the republican national committee has never questioned it.
the senate has never questioned it.
the house unanimously passed a resolution confirming obama's hawaiian birth.
hawaii's health dept confirmed it
hawaii's republican governor has never questioned it.
70 million americans never questioned it.
no one who matters is still questioning it.

so get over it and get a life. you'll get another chance in 2012.

All the constitution says is that the president and vice-president must be “natutral-born citizen”, over 35 years old, and have lived in America for 14. There is no where in the constitution that defines “natural-born” citizen.

Every American who puts the constitution first knows that there is absolutely no where in the constitution that supports your position.

And furthermore, there is a very easy explanation for what natural born citizen means, accepted by most rational, non-grandstanding people and politicians for quite some time (and the Supreme Court, I might add). When someone is born a citizen, that person is a natural born citizen. A person who becomes a citizen of the United States later in life is a naturalized citizen, not a natural born citizen.

Also, our Constitution is most certainly not based on Vattel's Law of Nations, and anyone who claims it was is likely not a citizen of the US, as they are woefully unfamiliar with our history. Go back where came from, imposters! ;)

“There is no deny that Obama's eligibilty is questionable. His father was not a US Citizen and per Vattel's Law of Nations which our constitution is based on, Obama would not be a natural born citizen.”

Vattel never defined what a “natual born citizen” was. His writing concerned who was a citizen. His view was that only persons born in the country to two citizen parents could themselves be citizens. American jurisprudence has always recognized that persons born in this country are citizens at birth – therefore Vattel's proposition was and has always been expressly rejected by the courts, and later by the Fourteenth Amendment.

The “natural born citizen” phrase was inserted into translations of Vattel starting nearly a decade after the Constitution was adopted – and four decades after his treatise was originally written in French, so it is of little value in informing us as to what the Founders understood the phrase to mean.

“This is as clear as day and the US Supreme Court knows this, they are just wating for a person who has standing.”

Please support your assertions, don't just make them.

“Every american who puts the constitution first knows that there is in fact a constitutional eligibilty issue with Obama.”

There you go, turning a debate about what the Constitution provides into a pissing match over who has the politically correct fuzzy feelings and patriotic sentiments. Spare me your arrogance and elitism, and stick to the facts.

“Birthers” are an “embarrassment to the GOP?” Really?

Most people who question Obama's background and his eligibility to serve that I know are members of the Libertarian Party.

It's great that Republicans are also now looking into this. But quite frankly they've been rather tepid, and a bit late to the game on this issue.

We Libertarians were questioning Obama's birthplace, his ties to Kenyan Communist Dictator Raila Odinga, and his radical Islamist background in Indonesia way back in 2006.

Dissapointedly, Republicans, including Rep. Deal and his staff, are being entirely too polite and accomadating to Democrat hacks and other Leftists who want to shut up any debate on this issue.


Anthony
Comment posted January 9, 2010 @ 7:01 pm

Debate? Debate? People use the facts or an honest opinion when debating. Just making things up in no ways supports ones position.

There is no debate on Obama's place of birth. A mistake is acceptable, or an incorrect assumption. However, when the facts are ignored there is no debate. It is just a person or group of people spreading rumors.

It is sad when a person claims that Rep Deal and others are being too polite.

There is a simple reason for this. The implications of their behavior is that the State of Hawaii is lying and/or refusing to ensure the integrity of their vital records for all its citizens.

When you want to engage in a debate let us know we will be accommodating.

Those who spread the birther conspiracy theory are an embarrassment to those that they associate with, and are damaging the GOP. Not to worry about the Libertarian Party, we are still waiting for them to present a candidate who could become a state or federal level politician.

The birthers are an embarrassment to themselves, primarily.

Conspiracy theories, by their very myopic visions, can never be resolved, because those devotees will never accept any evidence that resolves the issue, whether true or false, real or imagined.

Debate cannot exist where there is no middle ground. A decided MAJORITY of Americans dismiss this hoax with the prejudice it deserves, because of this.

So I have a quest for the birthers. Answer for the rest of us where Aliens come from. Are Bill, Hillary and the Obamas REALLY a part of the Bilderberg Group? Was there REALLY a guy on the grassy knoll, and who REALLY started the Chicago fire? Answer those, and I'll give you the TRUE, REAL answer to your question. Fair?

“what is the excuse for Mr. Bongo being unwilling to release a long form birth certificate?”

I am proceeding on the assumption, based on the context of your comments, that “Mr. Bongo” is Barack Obama, President of the United States. Now that we have addressed your failed attempt at cleverness, let's get to your comments.

President Obama has provided an independent political group with a copy of an official document from the State of Hawaii which says he was born on the island of Oahu, State of Hawaii, at 7:24 p.m. on August 4, 1961. This document is “prima facie evidence” of the fact of President Obama's birth in any court of law. For reasonable people, that is more than enough proof of President Obama's birthplace.

Just because some people choose to believe that President Obama somehow falsified this COLB, or that the State of Hawaii is complicit in some coverup, doesn't mean that the rest of society needs to bend over backward to produce more evidence. In fact, for President Obama to further address this issue is to lend such idiocy unwarranted credibility.

“Bongo's background is so apocryphal he wouldn't be able to get a security clearance to work for the FBI, what makes him eligible for the Presidency?”

There is no constitutional requirement in Article II that the President be eligible for a security permit. If you can find such language, I would be interested in reviewing it.

“Riddle me this JOHN C: Why was McCain's eligibility the focus of a full fledged Congressional investigation with all the bells and whistles while Mr. Hussein Bongo skated without being subjected to the same level of scrutiny?”

This isn't hard. McCain freely admits he was not born in the United States. Furthermore, by his own admission he was born at a time (1936) when no statute conferred U.S. citizenship to persons born in his circumstances. (Although many scholars believe NBC status can include persons born outside the United States. See Presidential Elections in the United States: A Primer, issued by the Congressional Research Service. United States Congressional Research Service, 2000) Only in 1937 was such a statute passed. It is not clear whether the statute was actually retroactive in effect. Even if it were, it is not entirely clear whether a person can become a natural born citizen at some point after birth. Nonetheless, the Senate overwhelmingly considered McCain to be a natural born citizen.

Obama was born in Hawaii. No credible person in Washington disputes that. The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (which I recommend you read someday) provides that he is therefore a citizen by birth. Under the historical understanding of natural born citizen, derived from English law, at the very least a person born within the territory of the United States, subject to its jurisdiction, is a nature born citizen. No credible constitutional scholar disputes this. Hence, President Obama did not “skate by” any more than has any other prior president. The facts and the law are clear, obvious, and settled to all credible observers.

One of the commonalities of Birfers and end-timers of all stripes is that they just can't resist setting themselves deadlines which will presumably vindicate their qwazy predictions—–IF they should actually come to pass. I believe that Birftards will prove to be true to form regarding the unevenful passing of said deadlines with predictions unfulfilled. Specifically, they will blunder on, unfazed by the loss of credibility (!), and proceed to set new deadlines for the glorious VINDICATION which surely lies just around the corner…

The issue regarding his eligibility is this..

There is no clearly defined case law as to what constitutes a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Thus Obama has utilized that LEGAL FACT to snooker the American Public.

It is not whether he was born in Hi, or on the Moon. The first basic issue is to PROVE who his gather was. With a 'Legal' hard copy, we would have proof of when and where he was born.

The real issue is all the documents that he has sealed from public view.

• Original, vault copy birth certificate — Not released — Lawyers fees — greater than $1,000,000 — birth certificate — $15.
• Certification of Live Birth — Released – Counterfeit — Case and Affidavits
• Admitted British citizenship at birth — Confirmed via FactCheck.org/FightTheSmears.com
• Birth Announcement — Alleged to be a forgery
• Hospital of birth — Kapi’olani Medical Center won’t confirm Obama’s birth assertion; sister claims a different hospital
• Obama/Dunham marriage license — Not released
• Obama/Dunham divorce – Released (by independent investigators)
• Kindergarten records – Records lost (this is a big one — see here — read two frames)
• Soetoro/Dunham marriage license — Not released
• Soetoro adoption records — Not released
• Fransiskus Assisi School School application — Released (by independent investigators)
• Punahou School records — Not released
• Soetoro/Dunham divorce – Released (by independent investigators)
• Selective Service Registration — Released – Counterfeit — Document Locator Number update — another FOIA request
• Occidental College records — Not released
• Passport — Not released and records scrubbed clean by Obama’s terrorism and intelligence adviser
• Columbia College records — Not released
• Columbia thesis — “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament” – Not released
• Harvard College records — Not released
• Harvard Law Review articles — None
• Illinois Bar Records — Not released.
• Baptism certificate — None
• Medical records — Not released
• Illinois State Senate records — None
• Illinois State Senate schedule — Lost
• Law practice client list — Not released
• University of Chicago scholarly articles — None

You see if his father was different, if he was adopted, if he used another name other than Obama.. He would have have been guilty of fraud. Which makes his entire live a Fraud.

His admitted drug use as a High School Student, at Occidental and Columbia
may have prevented him from entering the Bar, Harvard and etc.
(Coke, Crack, Pot are tough to coverup)

Before you start complaining about 'birthers' as youself this question.

Obama is the FIRST POTUS that has no facts available about his background OTHER that what he tells us..

And guess what we already know that HE LIES.

I am in thorough agreement with ANYONE who believes that Barrack Hussein Obama may NOT be an American citizen! If he is, then why doesn't he simply show the RECORDS that would PROVE that he is an American citizen as the U.S. Constitution states in Article 2, Section 1, Paragraph 5. It is so SIMPLE!!! There is ABSOLUTELY no question that he is hiding something that definitely would affect his position as the President of the United States. What's so ironic is that ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE–Judges, Congressmen, you name it–and they're supporting Barrack Hussein Obama and his awesome erratic ways!!! Somebody is going to be VERY embarrassed someday, and I don't think it's going to be too far into the future. The Lord has His Holy Devine Ways of communicating His PERFECT time and place for EVERYTHING. He has His PLAN and NOBODY–even Barrack Hussein Obama–is going to get in His Way!!

Katahdin:

I think you missed the point.. At issue is NOT WHERE he was BORN.

The issue is more than just that. If for instance he used any other name other than OBAMA and failed to report it then he may be guilty of fraud.

My research reviews copies to two diffierent divorce decrees one with Obama and the other with an adopted father Lolo Soetoro. There were and or are records of Obama attending school in Inodnesia under that name.

If he failed to report or used that name to enter college, get grants, get any funding under another name or SSN he would have been in violation of our laws IF he failed to report it on admission records, Selective Service Documents, I-9's. License to Practice law.. and the list goes on..

So yes there is more here than just where he was born. That is why I listed ALL the documents that are either incomplete, missing or may have been completed after the fact.

Since he first started running for POTUS many of the articles, documents relating to his past have 'mysteriously' disappeared from the web.

Why would one individual spent almost 1.5 Million dollars having lawyers handle keeping all records sealed.

He currently has 25 LAWYERS on staff in the White House to give him the LEGAL BRIEFS that he wants.

You need to be aware that even his HS records are sealed.. His B- Average in High School hardly warrants entry into Occidental, Columbia and Harvard.

Normally I would expect superior academic performance to get into Columbia AND Harvard. But there are no records available other than his comments about being Average at Occidental and Columbia.

At issue is his since or honor, his creditability, his integrity and the important facets of a LEADER.

My take is there is something FISHY.. and it is not that he is good-looking and etc.

I dislike liars and those that HIDE the truth.

Please produce your discharge papers and birth certificate to prove that you are not lying, or another pseudonym of Gunny/Gummy/Red Graham/Keyes4Prez/KitKat/BillyBob/Lying Sack of Shit.

You know, the real veterans I know are kind of quiet about it. Like the LRP from 'Nam who breeds horses, or my uncle would never talked about the camps he saw after World War II, or all the Iraq veterans who come home and are perfectly normal until they wake screaming in the night. None of them really like wannabes who run around yelling slogans and threatening people and using military terminology they picked up from a Tom Clancy novel.

I don't think they'd like you very much.

Hey dude..

I never mentioned anything about the military.. never bragged about anything.

I am proud of my service and proud of being Airborne Infantry.

And I did serve in Vietnam.   And I NEVER talk about that.

I just get pissed at as-holes that never learned to make a decision, never had to Make A DECISON that cost people their lives. 

Yeah i was there.  AND i DID MY SHARE.

That is why… I AM CONCERNED ABOUT FREEDOM.

And I will fight for your freedom again and again.. BECAUSE
I know what freedom costs.

Ask your Uncle about making decisions, about watching others because some Politicians in Washington… would not let us fight to win the war.

Until you walk in that Uncles shoes, or walk in Mine… NEVER ever question anyone about grammar, about english.. because some out here are better than you ever thought about being.

Like I said… you show me the DD 214, the airborne infantry wings, and I will listen.

Until then… My record speaks for its self and I am proud to have served my country.

Let's see what you accomplish in 40 years.

Regards,

Airborne all the Way.

Same offer goes out to you.

Show me anything that is a lie that I have printed. Like OBAMA says you have to connect the dots. However, in his background there are no dots to connect just questions..

And calling me a racist. Now that is funny. I was all for him until I DID my research and started seeing to many gaps and half truths. I have you read his books. And then tried to backtrack what he say.

You are obviously nerrow minded, and bigoted. My best recommendation for you is to go down and sign up for the Airborne Infantry. And then spend some time under fire or better yet.. just see if you can make it through bacis and then Airborne.

You might better appreciate the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and what it means to want Freedom for politicians that lie, cheat and steal from the taxpayer.

For all you would be soldiers out there. Ill only talk about the CIB, Airborne Wings and the Crossed Rifles I would wear on my epaulets.

For those questioning my integrity… you should be able to recognize the rank just by the crossed rifles on the Epaulets, and it was not enlisted.

That is why I mentioned the Army paying for my BS before and my MBA afterwards.

Hey Johnny C
I call him Mr. Bongo because it's actually uncertain what his lawful name is, Barry Soetoro? Barrack Dunham? Barry Obama? Barrack Hussein Obama? Barry Dunham? My question to you is, are the rumors true that he also has as many social security numbers to match his aliases? Could that be the reason why all of his academic records are official state secrets? In some ways I have to feel sorry for him being abandoned by his father and being adopted in Indonesia by a man named Soetoro, but after all that hardship there isn't one document in existence from the whole experience? Johnny C, you are free to assume whatever you please. With that said, the name “Bongo” was one born out of frustration for me. I'm not trying to be “clever”, I'm just amazed that a man who wouldn't be given a FBI security clearance due to his dubious history could become the President. Then again, on the other hand, since when are the sons of transient Kenyan Mau Mau's eligible to become the President of the United States? Barry, Barrack, Dunham, Soetoro, Obama, Barrack Hussein Obama? Lawful American President? Usurper?

I'll assume you're talking about Fact Check dot org, they are owned and operated by the Annenberg Foundation are they not? Calling them an “independent political group” is like calling the NRA and “independent political group.” Would liberals trust them to issue firearms permits? But Fact Check . com is somehow the final arbiter of truth? “Prima facie evidence” or document fraud? I heard Hawaii gave away COLB certificates back then like giving candy apples to kids on Halloween. I heard that those certificates where routinely given to children born out of hospitals. I even heard that all it took to get one was the insistence of one parent that the child was indeed born in Hawaii. Prudence would demand that as a show of good faith the President release a hospital generated birth certificate to corroborate his nativity story. You go ahead and call me “unreasonable” till you're blue in the face. There was a time in my life when I would have been overjoyed to be given the honor to work in the White House, even if only as a janitor. I'm near to the same age as Obama and I was also born on an Island, the hospital that I was born in is still there. The doctor who delivered me is still practicing medicine at age 86 God bless him. The Town Hall still has all of my vault records. I would have signed all of it over in a second to be given the honor of working in the White House, even as a janitor!

Just because some people chose to hire an army of lawyers at the cost of over a million dollars to conceal what is by all accounts a benign document that would cost a mere twelve dollars to release doesn't mean something is amiss? Asking the President to produce a birth certificate as a show of good faith has nothing whatsoever to do with having the hoi polloi bend over backwards. Putting this issue to rest would be really cheap and easy by producing a hospital generated long form for twelve dollars. Then we could move on the the issue of Bary's transient father's British/Kenyan nationality and or Bary's possible Indonesian citizenship.
I didn't say anything about the Constitution calling for the President to be anything other then a “natural born American citizen” in the context of Vattell's writings at the time the Constitution was adopted. I was merely quoting a former Federal Agent who passed the comment that somebody with a history as dubious as the President would not be allowed to work at the FBI because they would not pass for a security clearance. After hearing that I felt it a bit odd that the standards are loosened for a President!
McCain's eligibility was addressed by the Senate and they agreed overwhelmingly that he was a “natural born American citizen” however it's important to note that it's only a matter of their opinion! The Constitutional question actually isn't so simple, ultimately there is no real resolution of the eligibility of either McCain or Obama.
Obama was born in Hawaii? Well then, where are they going to hang the memorial plaques honoring his specific birth place? The airport? The beach? Pineapple field? You know, there is a $15,000.00 dollar donation for the hospital that Obama was born in being offered by World Net Daily, why have none of them claimed it? He has claimed Kapi o' Lani at a fund raiser but they will not confirm it. Don't you think they would like to have that $15,000.00? I believe that there are the exact addresses for the specific birthplaces for every single one of the nation's 43 other Presidents. In some if not most cases the buildings are still standing and the exact room that the birth took place in is known. Why is Obama throwing out this huge stumbling block to the historians that will surely write about it someday? Is it some kind of a sick inside joke or something? You tell me! All Presidential birthplaces are historical landmarks, all of the specific locations have memorial plaques. Where are you liberals going to put his birthplace memorial plaque? Why is the specific birthplace of the 44th President of the United States an official state secret?
As for the “Natural Born American Citizen” requirement as per the Constitution. Since when are the sons of transient British men eligible for the Presidency? Little Bary was a British boy at birth in full accordance with British Nationality Law. Britain had a legal jurisdiction over little Barry at the time of his birth, that is if his father actually cared about him, he would have had legal recourse with the British Consulate. Little Barry was born under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, an inheritance right from his British father! I think the definition of “Natural Born American Citizen” the founders where talking about was Vattel's from his treatise, “Laws Of Nations.” There is more then one form of citizenship and being born on American soil only makes one a “native born citizen.” It takes two citizen parents to give birth to a “natural born American citizen.” Real “natural born American citizens” are born free of any possible foreign legal jurisdiction especially Britain! After having fought that bloody revolution I think the founding fathers would puke if they knew a British boy would become President! I don't know what Constitutional Scholars you are referring too but I haven't been hearing them even chime in on this publicly. Let's be honest here, neither of us are Constitutional Scholars, it's a job for the courts to decide! At any rate, someday, somebody is going to get that “vital statistics file” in Hawaii and see if he's Hawaiian or just lying!

First of all..

You have to have been in and served to understand any of the jargon.

My comments regarding my servirce is made only to demonstrate that I have put myself in lie to PROTEDT our freedoms.

I DID not agree with Bush, because he dodged the draft. He used his family position to be in the National Guard instead of being in the Draft.

He got us into war and kept us safe after he made that terrible mistake.

I NEVER talk about the service in Vietnam. Just tht I was THERE,

I do NOT AGREE with Obama. I do not agree with his ideologies and the lies that he tells. I am particularly concerned that it appears that he did not shign up for the draft in a timely manner.

And I am CRITICAL of anyone that has not SERVED in the military that supports is policies.

So enough said. I am college educated have attended several military schools that give me a better insight into international intelligence and conducting of military operations.

So when someone questions my patriotism and my honor and my committment to my country I a naturally offended.

Especially when those individuals are more than likely more liberal than is good for our country.

No one here has been able to refute anything postings that I made about Obama.

And believe me when i say.. I WOULD say the samy to his face.

But what difference does it make? From a legal point of view, both are official birth certificates. They prove what he needs to show about when and where he was born, and people use them every day to get drivers licenses and passports.

Tell me, have you seen the original birth certificates of all the other presidents in history? All the other vice presidents, who are subject to the same requirements? All the candidates?

I believe in Our Country and those that WANT to make it strong and make sure that we are all FREE. I do not believe in taking from the wealthy and giving to the poor. I do not believe in not telling the truth.

And most importantly I do not believe in what is transpiring in Washington today. I did not like Bush because he misused the Reserves and the Guard BECAUSE and the LIBERALS would not commit to a draft.

And yest at 60 I would gladly volunteer to go into the Middle East to fight again.

To not question the leadership and the direction one individual is leading our country.. is a crime in itself.

I question the national debt being at 12.2 Trillion dollars and rising.. You will be paying for that the rest of your lives.

The problem with LEGAL PRINCIPLES.. you have individuals that make decisions based on the fact that there is no Case law that prevents one from doing as the please.

Ask yourself why Obama has 25 LAWYERS in the White House. Ask why the Congress and the Senate believe that they can tread on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.. BECAUSE there is no CASE LAW that prevents them from doing so.

Read the press and question how OUR POTUS can sit down with UNION OFFICALS and exempt them from paying the same tax on the OBAMACARE bill that you and I have to pay.

You may be able to find the records where OBAMA attended school under the name of Soetoro. (Note that NO ONE is allowed to investigate or talk to anyone in Indonesia or Kenya WITHOUT approval of the government)

Do yourself a favor… before jumping to conclusions. Do some research. I have been posting this information since this time 1.5 years ago.

And the more I discovered the more disillusioned I became about who OBAMA said he was COMPARED to who he actually was.

If you also do research..

The Senate ALSO passed a amendment to a bill stating that Obama was born in Hi. and was a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN of the United States.

If you do additional research.. Hi is the ONLY state in the Union that requires that before anyone can be placed on the Ballot that they be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Pelosi submitted the necesary paperwork to put him on the ballot STATING that fact.

For the other 49 States she submitted a different letter stating that he met the eligibility requirements NOT that he was a natural born citizen.

If you do further research.. you will find that there are three or four different types of Birth Certificates.

When Obama was born.. there were no computers and everything was typed.

At the time he enter high school, Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard he would have had to have a HARD copy of the BC.

The Factcheck BC has never OFFICALLY been checked by the FBI, CIA or any government organization for validity.

As a matter of fact, I know no one that has actually admitted to to seeing the orignal CERTIFICATE of LIVE Birth.

If you also do research..

The Senate ALSO passed a amendment to a bill stating that Obama was born in Hi. and was a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN of the United States.

If you do additional research.. Hi is the ONLY state in the Union that requires that before anyone can be placed on the Ballot that they be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Pelosi submitted the necesary paperwork to put him on the ballot STATING that fact.

For the other 49 States she submitted a different letter stating that he met the eligibility requirements NOT that he was a natural born citizen.

If you do further research.. you will find that there are three or four different types of Birth Certificates.

When Obama was born.. there were no computers and everything was typed.

At the time he enter high school, Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard he would have had to have a HARD copy of the BC.

The Factcheck BC has never OFFICALLY been checked by the FBI, CIA or any government organization for validity.

As a matter of fact, I know no one that has actually admitted to to seeing the orignal CERTIFICATE of LIVE Birth.

See the problem that you are having. Instead of providing proof that Obama isn’t wasn’t born a citizen of America you enter into wild accusations. If you are upset about the election loss state that. If you oppose Obama’s policies state that.

The president is a natural born citizen of America as proven by his Hawaiian Certificate of live Birth.

Innuendo doesn’t supplant government issued documents.

So exactly what “lies,” “High Crimes” or “Teason [sic] Against the Constitution and the American People” is Obama guilty of? You have yet to actually tell us what those are. Of course many lunatics on the right work from the assumption that Obama MUST be evil because…well…just because. No actual evidence of any wrongdoing, just their own paranoid suspicions. If you want to let your paranoid delusions govern your life, go for it. But don’t expect the rest of us to share them. Go join the rest of the conspiracy theorists, Obama Derangement Syndrome sufferers and other assorted nut-jobs. Until you can provide actual proof of a crime committed by the president, just let him do his job. He’s got a big enough job pulling us out of the recession that started under the previous administration.

Prove that the FactCheck birth certificate has never been checked out by the “FBI, CIA or any government organization.” And why do you hold Obama to a different standard than any other president or presidential candidate in the entire history of the U.S.? No other candidate for the presidency has ever released his birth certificate for viewing by the general public. In that respect, Obama has disclosed more about himself than any previous president.

It makes absolutely no sense to be. Absolutely none. The first presidential campaign to release their birth certificate to the public and their are people asking him to release their birth certificate. I don't think it is a different standard, but a concerted to seed doubt in the minds of the electorate.

I have tried to understand the reason behind this, but it seems to be more “fear uncertainty doubt and misinformation.” A very pathetic attempt at that anyways.

Maya Soetoro-Ng, Barack's sister, said that Barack was a Muslim and so was their Mom (Stanley Ann Dunham) and Obama's step-Father (Lolo Soetoro) in an interview with the New York Times published on April 30 2007. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/30/us/politics… …
Obama's Mom is a Muslim. Indonesian laws and Islamic customs, Sharia Law, forbid Muslims from marrying a different religion. It was illegal in Indonesia to have dual citizenships. So both Obama and his Mother “Ann” lost their U.S. citizenship when moving to Indonesia. The Indonesian government only began acknowledging dual citizenship in November of 2006; The Hague Convention of 1930 and argues that since Indonesia did not allow dual citizenship, neither did the United States when it came to Indonesia.
Obama's Mom can NOT be an Athiest, like he claims, because Indonesia Law, does not recognize Atheists or Agnostics. Ann & Lolo (Obama's Step-Father), were both Muslims. Indonesian Law: “Marriage partners must have the same religion, otherwise one partner must make a written declaration of change of religion.”

I'm sure anybody who writes a book would be likely to lose (shred?) his Birth Certificate. The reason for the need for Obama's documents is because there is so much doubt about his US citizenship. There was a congressional inquiry for McCain's natural born status-why not for Obama if that even is his real name.

LIE #1 – Maya Soetoro-Ng said no such thing. The link you gave is invalid.

LIE #2 – there is no evidence whatsoever that either Stanley Dunham or her son practiced Islam at any time in their lives.

LIE #3 – Islam does not prohibit the marriage of Muslims and non-Muslims, nor does it require the conversion of a non-Muslim spouse, nor does it require the conversion of the non-Muslim spouse's children.

LIE #4 – neither Stanley Dunham nor her son ever surrendered their American citizenship, nor would it have been possible for her to surrender her son's citizenship during his minority.

LIE #5 – Indonesian law does not require that married couples practice the same religion.

Give it up, Gunny. All the lies in the world won't change the simple fact that the President is natural born.

In which case you should shut up about the President's birth, since the Founders went by English common law. This held, and still does, that a child born in one country is automatically a citizen except in certain limited circumstances, like the child of a diplomat.

There have already been dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a “natural born citizen.” The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.
Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.
Complicating the situation is Obama's decision to spend sums estimated in excess of $1.7 million to avoid releasing a state birth certificate that would put to rest all of the questions.
Among the documentation not yet available for Obama includes kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records. We must put this madman monster out on his ear ASAP.

The birth certificate thing is old news. Move on. But I'm a realist when it comes to you folk. The broken record nature of your demands never ceases to amuse. I'll expect you'll be at this long after Obama leaves office. Will you do this for the next President? Hope so.

The demand for documentation of Barack Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is surging, with lawmakers in several states now working on legislation that could be used to require future presidential candidates to reveal precisely how they are qualified under the U.S. Constitution's demand for a “natural born citizen.” I have repeatedly contacted my U.S. Senators & Congressman about this illegal-alien and they seem to be content with “go along, get along” and don't want to make waves. Hence it is going to be up to the individual states to codify a Constitutional definition of “natural born citizen”, require original signatures on nomination paper certifications(not the copied signatures Pelosi provided) AND a copy of the candidate's original Birth Certificate before the name can be placed on the state's presidential election ballot. Obama mentions his Birth Certificate on page 26 of “Dreams of My Father” so he could just provide a copy of that one. Afterall it is probably the “source document” a Hawaiian official claims is on file in Honolulu. OR it could be the Kenyan BC. Also we are still not sure which citizenship Obama attended college as. If we can keep Obama off the ballot in just two states he won't have the audacity to run for re-election. So please write your state level senators to sponsor and support this legislation.

Comment posted January 23, 2010 @ 10:04 am

The definition of a natural born citizen is already well-established by the 14th Amendment, the federal code, and Supreme Court precedent going back over 100 years. The states can add nothing to that.
The problem with you birthers is that you make up your own reality, and then demand that reality-based people accept your loony alternate “facts.” There is not, and never has been, any evidence that President Obama ever attended college as a foreign student, held a foreign passport, or, for that matter, danced the hokey-pokey on a night in June.
If you think you have any evidence that anything you claim is true, then produce it. If you can't, then you need to find something else to obsess about. I hear that daytime soaps can absorb a lot of the attention of emotionally marginal people. Once you're thinking all the time about the travails of fictional people, you'll have less time to invent a fictional biography for the president.
The president has already shown all he needs to show, and then some. If one of his daughters had a screaming fit, he would not indulge that child because it would be foolish to do so. It would be just as foolish to indulge the the childlike, fearful fantasies of the birther. Fortunately, our president is no fool.

Don't you mean that some politicians are starting to pander those who believe in the asinine birther conspiracy theory. It would be easier for them to just make one phone call with the relevant government agency.

It make some sense if a dimwitted citizen believe that writing meaningless legislation would address a concern that would be solved by just talking to the right person. However, a politician should know better. They could even ask their staff to get them in contact with the correct person, to verify the authenticity of a document. This is a matter of routine and happen between different government agencies everyday.

It is hard to think of the correct analogy for how silly this really is.

What is really funny is that birthers really believe that this legislation will address anything substantial. This legislation will not prevent Obama from seeking a second term in office, since he is a natural-born citizen as required by the constitution. Obama's staff will only direct state officials to the Hawaiian press release.

Birthers are just funny. They provide information that they really believe supports their position. However, the information really undermines their position or is factually false. They get obsessed with a mention of a document on a page in a book, but they really didn't even read the passage or paragraph. They post copies of Hawaii documents, and pick on obscure differences without reading the fine print. One birther actually posted a copy of someone's “long-form” which read on the top “Certification of Live Birth.” The find newspaper articles without reading it. One actually discussed chronological history of the start of Obama's father's life in America including Obama and his mother.

Now they are touting a document that even the sponsors know will not prevent president Obama from seeking a second term. Being disillusioned in Birtherdom must be a great place for birthers, but I prefer reality.

Barak H. Obama is a natural-born citizen of America as indicated by his Hawaii Department of Health issued Certification of Live Birth. Hawaii Departmant of Health through the governor of Hawaii has issues to press releasing, with both supporting the authenticity of the Certification of Live Birth.
