The Buzz about Barack’s Birth Certificate
michellemalkin.com ^ | June 10, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 06/10/2008 10:11:40 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Jim Geraghty takes a look at longstanding blog buzz over Barack Obama’s birth certificate, which the campaign refused to release to the St. Petersburg Times in April:

We tried to obtain a copy of Obama’s birth certificate, but his campaign would not release it and the state of Hawaii does not make such records public.

Has anyone seen it? Why shouldn’t the record be in the public domain for presidential candidates?

Geraghty walks through various rumors now circulating in the wake of the Obama campaign’s birth certificate blackout, including this one:

Rumor Three: His mother did not want to name him after his father, and his birth certificate says “Barry.” Perhaps the most plausible of the rumors, as Obama was known by that name through much of his childhood and young adulthood. If true, this would spur a new round of “When Barry Became Barack” stories – a minor headache for the campaign, but hardly a major scandal.

Lest the Obama campaign start whining about this issue being an unfair “distraction,” John McCain underwent intense scrutiny of his citizenship status because of his birth in the Panama Canal zone, leading the Senate to declare him a natural-born citizen in April.

Since his mother was a US citizen, though, it won’t matter. You’ve gotta hope that she was actually not his mother. Maybe the birth certificate is ambiguous on that too.

The questions about Barack Obama just keep coming. This guy is dirty. He’s also not just a lefty but an America hater. Was that gaffe regarding 57 states a mistake? Isn’t 57 the number of recognized Islamic states in the world?

Don’t vote for this guy!

“... it would explain why he didn’t register with the Selective Service, as required.”

Has it been determined that he didn’t register with Selective Service?

What would a disqualification look like?

I'm sure the Obama camp would immediately appeal to the US Supreme Court, citing some vague "always thought he was an American" excuse, just like the family story he always thought was true about his uncle.

Then the MSM will drum up support for calling it an archaic "technicality" that should be overruled by the USSC because of the immense popularity of Obama, we're too far down the electoral road to disqualify him now, yada yada yada.

Then come the Schwarzenegger people who will ask, if Obama can get around the natural citizen rule, why can't Arnie? Or Jennifer?

Where does it stop?

Under identifying marks, it notes a birthmark on his scalp that resembles three sixes?

"One thing is certain, all WILL be revealed. If there is any dirt out there hillary’s minions will out it, always leaking thru some non-hillary source. It ain't over. Truer words have never been typed. The challenge for the beast is to make sure her fingerprints are nowhere to be found."

There could be one more problem, if He is elected and if it is true that he was not eligible to run for the office of the President, but it doesn't come out until after the election then what?

Does his pick for VP become the president? OMG this scenario is about to make me sick!

I will take the man at his word because of the magnitude of the punishment were it any other way.

One could always make the argument that the real Barry was killed as a toddler and Obama was put in his place by a bunch of scamming Nigerians, I suppose.

Metaphysical certitude is something I leave to the Creator.

This may be a ridiculous question, but is there such a thing as an “ex post facto” birth certificate, issued AFTER a birth, in any circumstances? If such a thing exists, has Hawaii ever issued them?

Yes I have one, I was born illegitimate and it was changed after the fact to put my adoptive father's name on it as father.

I was four years old.

If Obama's adoptive step father secured for him Indonesian citizenship as part of the adoption process and Obama traveled under Indonesian documents to the United States his US citizenship would automatically have been revoked if he didn't reaffirm it at eighteen.

The Name in the father box on the birth certificate as well as any sort of Indonesian passport or other such documents become critical to his candidacy at the point of discovery. Which is why I believe he does not want to release them.

Your papers please?

His birth could have also been announced in the local newspaper.

What his parents did should cast no shadow on the man. He couldn't’t choose them.

No one said he couldn't change who his parents were, but you even got the birth certificate even though it showed who your biological Mother was.

So why can't he show the country his birth certificate, it is obvious he does know who his parents were, both of them!

Sadly, it won't matter what truth is discovered about Obama.
He is the messiah, and no one is aloud to question him!

We KNOW he isn't qualified to be president of our great country, but...

.

".. they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Actually Without a birth certificate and his mother to swear that he was born here, Obama has no proof that he was ever born in the USA.
