Penetrating Insights into the Obvious
Posted on 10/24/2008 7:54:01 AM PDT by Arthur Wildfire! March
Overview:
There are lawsuits being filed in multiple states. If Obama has nothing to hide, then his behavior is foolish both politically and cash-wise [legal fees] -- it would have been easy to end speculation by simply showing his birth certificate. Among the first to challenge his qualification to be president were the PUMAs. The most well reported lawsuit is by Berg, a Hillary supporter. One of the recent shockers is that Obama's Kenyan grandmother reportedly witnessed him born in Kenya. Another shocker is that Obama was, at least technically, Islamic while in Indonesia. There is also a flimsy paper trail regarding his visa and adoption in Indonesia. What documents were shown on the internet are discredited. And Factcheck.org is not a reliable source, having ties with Annenberg.
The political aspect: BO’s stonewalling makes the Birth Certificate Question alone reason enough for someone to conclude that voting for him would be irresponsible. As vigilant citizens, we are each required to vote Constitutionally. If we are not convinced that he qualifies Constitutionally, then we cannot vote for him. It’s an ‘honor thing’.
His first name is Mohammed.
Since Obama, McCain and the media doesn’t want anyone to know his middle name, I wish we’d have though to make up some bumper stickers that say “Vote for Barack Hussein Obama.” They couldn’t call us racist and it would get the word out to those who don’t know.
Would I vote against a man because of his name? Damn straight if it’s a muslim name!
HAHA Well, 7. =) I’m a bit of a prodigy.
Somebody help me out here—
Notice that Obama’s father’s race is listed as “African”.
You can see the document by clicking this link: http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate
Now back in 1961—wouldn’t the race be listed as either “Negro” or “Colored”?
I’d like to see other and similar examples of birth certificates within the same time period to see if this was the normal practice with Hawaii. Otherwise the authenticity is questionable.
I say it’s fake and created by some 20 year old that has no clue of what the “norm” was in 1961.
Thanks for the ping!
Thank you Brown Deer. I can’t believe people still turn to factcheck.org.
The Constitution makes it clear he ahs to be natural born. If a voter is not convinced he’s natural born, he is honor bound to get the word out. And factcheck.org is not only compromised, it’s foisting a forgery on us.
“living there with his Indonesian step-father, does not change the fact that he is a natural born citizen of the US. What law says it does?”
An illegal alien is not qualified. He hasn’t even proven he’s a US citizen. That requires visa records.
“Furthermore, it doesn’t matter what religion Obama was when he was five years old.”
Where are his baptism records? He claims he’s a Christian, doesn’t he? People say he was Christian all his life. That’s a lie.
“If you think that a Muslim isn’t Constitutionally qualified”
That’s a cheap shot, a straw dog. I mentioned that was a side note. What are you trying to do, race bait me? Paint me as a racist bigot? I’m speaking about a properly vetted candidate. And you are trying to confuse people. Do you work for Ayers in Annenburg or something? Is that waht’s got you ticked off at me?
Let’s get the word out then before he wins.
What is that group doing giving money to a terrorist?
Thank you.
It appears we have flunkies for Annenberg providing cover for Obama to save their own reputations.
You’re not the only one.
Obama Refuses to Answer Birth Certificate Lawsuit
http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_birth_certificate/2008/10/24/143882.html
A Pennsylvania lawsuit alleging that Barack Obama is not a “natural-born citizen” of the United States took an unusual twist this week, after a federally mandated deadline requiring Obama’s lawyers to produce a “vault” copy of his birth certificate expired with no response from Obama or his lawyers.
Obama covers his tracks
Ed Lasky
Barack Obama apparently wishes his two autobiographies to be the definitive record of his past. He has blocked efforts by others who wish to independently examine his past.
He won’t allow his transcript from his undergraduate days at Columbia University to be released.
He “lost” his thesis on Soviet nuclear policy (see “Where in the World is Obama’s Missing Thesis” which might provide insight regarding his seeming lack of knowledge about Soviet policy during the Kennedy years).
He won’t answer questions about his days at Harvard Law School.
He “lost” his Illinois Senate records.
He will only release a simple one-page letter from his doctor on his medical condition.
He won’t release his application to the state bar, which, as National Review’s Jim Geraghty notes raises questions about whether he told the truth about parking tickets and drug use, among other issues.
He won’t disclose list of his clients from his law firm days or the nature of the work he did for them as a lawyer (his clients include the indicted political fixer Tony Rezko).
He walks away from uncomfortable questions about Rezko at a news conference.
His cultists try to shut down inquiry into his stewardship of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge by sliming a journalist investigating his days at the helm of that group, which blew through $100 million dollars with no discernible benefit for the schools and students that it was putatively designed to help (what does the constitutional law lecturer say to the chilling of free speech by his acolytes?).
He tries to muddle his long-standing ties with Pastor Wright by producing a version of his attendance record at Trinity Church that is sharply at variance with previous versions he has given (”Obama Re-invents his Trinity Church History”).
The Wall Street Journal joins the battle over Obama’s past in today’s editorial (”Obama’s Lost Years”):
The Columbia years are a hole in the sprawling Obama hagiography. In his two published memoirs, the 47-year-old Democratic nominee barely mentions his experience there. He refuses to answer questions about Columbia and New York — which, in this media age, serves only to raise more of them. Why not release his Columbia transcript? Why has his senior essay gone missing? [....]
Voters and the media are now exercising due diligence before Election Day, and they are meeting resistance from Mr. Obama in checking his past. Earlier this year, the AP tracked down Mr. Obama’s New York-era roommate, “Sadik,” in Seattle after the campaign refused to reveal his name. Sohale Siddiqi, his real name, confirmed Mr. Obama’s account that he turned serious in New York and “stopped getting high.” “We were both very lost,” Mr. Siddiqi said. “We were both alienated, although he might not put it that way. He arrived disheveled and without a place to stay.” For some reason the Obama camp wanted this to stay out of public view.
What can be said with some certainty is that Mr. Obama lived off campus while at Columbia in 1981-83 and made few friends. Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him.
Barack Obama is the least-examined Presidential candidate in American history. Partly this may be due to the fact that he has a paper-thin resume and few accomplishments. However, he does have a record and past (he is, after all, approaching 50 years old). An informed electorate is the foundation of American democracy — a principle which Senator Obama has ignored. The mainstream media — with a few courageous exceptions (the pages of National Review, Weekly Standard, ABC News correspondent Jake Tapper) — have aided and abetted Barack Obama’s quest to change history retroactively by immunizing him from any serious examination. Meanwhile they send the journalistic equivalent of the dogs of war to create their own history of Governor Sarah Palin (notably by pulling journalists off the terrorism “beat” to cover Palin’s record in Alaska).
He accuses people who scrutiny his record of being engaged in distractions or pulls the race card out and slurs them as racists. At times, he has all but accused people who inquire about his record as being stupid. He imperiously declares some areas of his life as being “off limits”.
For a man who constantly trumpeted the importance of transparency he seems to be adverse from applying that principle to his own life. He owes the voters a clear accounting of his past.
Why have journalists allowed Barack Obama to avoid scrutiny? The media has been called the Fourth Estate for its crucial role in ensuring that democracy thrives. When journalists abdicate their role, we all suffer. What is Barack Obama afraid of regarding his past? What do journalist fear to find?
When they rely on Barack Obama’s version of his life to become their stories they become nothing more than campaign workers laboring away for free.
Come to think of it, this does not seem so far from the truth.

Now newsmax is hot on this. Here’s a discussion thread:
Newsmax Covering Birth Certificate Story on Front Page

Thank you, Mr. Nerks. It’s amazing how much he’s hiding.
“Let’s get the word out then before he wins.”
Right. And that may be in play.
Lets see how the “facts” shake out.
If he wins, we need to set up a national clamor, commencing Dec 15 amidst what may already be “hot” civil unrest. The objective will be to influence the Congress prior to its Jan 6 declaration of who is the predsident-elect.
O seems to have both a birthplace problem and a parentage problem. He probably cannot change the former but he can manipulate the latter.
As a matter of fact, G’ma the banker VP may have been a sharp cookie and likely dealt with citizenship issues in her operation. I predict she would have recognized any difficulty her new g’son would have with that issue in general. She was probably conversant with the mechanics of avoiding the issue. She most likely had good connections in the community and I predict her fingerprints are all over the local documents.
