Did I just lose some brain matter, or did the Obama's Fact Check website, aka "Fight the Smears," retract the "Here is his birth certificate" statement?
I could swear that this statement used to precede the image .
Am I wrong? Did anyone else note the change?
The way the page is now, there is no lead-in line to the image.
BTW, I have a new post today explaining the possible reasons for blacking out certificate number.
Obama's website says the following:
"Barack Obama Is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim," followed by: "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim."
I have a few questions for Obama's campaign and anyone inerested in researching Obama's background...which when considering him for the President of the United States, we as voters in this Republic have a de facto responsibility to do when any questions arise.
From that article:
I was a little Jakarta street kid, he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics and more likely to be aware of their nationalism if he once studied the Koran with them.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (itll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
Come to prayer. Come to prayer.
Come to Success. Come to Success.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
From that article:
Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng explained to Jodi Kantor of the New York Times: "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim." An Indonesian publication, the Banjarmasin Post reports a former classmate, Rony Amir, recalling that "All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims."
Barack Obama's Catholic school in Jakarta.
The Catholic school: Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press reports that "documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim" while at a Catholic school during first through third grades. Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune confirms that Obama was "listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school." A blogger who goes by "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" found that "Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name Barry Soetoro' serial number 203 and entered the Franciscan Asisi Primary School on 1 January 1968 and sat in class 1B. Barry's religion was listed as Islam."
The public school: Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times learned from Indonesians familiar with Obama when he lived in Jakarta that he "was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended."
Now, whether or not Obama considers himself Muslim now, whether or not he is willing to admit to his past and upbringing, these questions and his efforts to hide or color the truth of his background are relavent to his aspirations to be President.
If he will not even be truthful about his own upbringing, his own roots...how can we expect him to be truthful about his own stances on critical issues of the day and his ideology as regards the United States?
The answer is plain...we can't. His own shifting stances on the issues, his own willful associations for decades with virulent anti-Americans and then his attempts to hide from those associations all atest to this.

Obama should just put a “kick me “ sign on himself. What a doofus.
The mother of all swiftboats will break here. Stay tuned.
damn, blabber mouthed women. how amI ever gonna get to be prez. with them runnin their mouths all the time?
Does he consider Iran's push to build nukes, "inactionable intelligence?"
He keeps saying that the Muslim clerics in Iran are more powerful than President "I'm-in-a-jihad," but the last time I checked, they weren't in charge of enriching uranium.


“So Barack; is there something wrong with being a Muslim?”
According to his website, merely being called a Muslim is a “smear.”
He said it, I didn’t.
"Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness". Please.
If you know someting I want on THAT ping list! :oP
You are on the wrong page. Are you plugged in?
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/
About in the middle of the page is a hotlink:
You can see his birth certificate here
“The mother of all swiftboats will break here. Stay tuned.”
Greetings old friend.
Can we expect some fireworks for the 4th from your part of the world?
Obama wanted so badly not to be thought of as a Muslim that he dragged out Jeremiah Wright and said “see I r Christian, this is my main man” lol. It shows you what the Obama camp thinks of being lumped in with Islam when they tried to run cover by bringing in Mr G-Damn America. : )
:)
I show same thing- it’s on the MAIN page just not on the page that shows the document.
Is it going to “break” on FR? If so will the MSM even pick up on it?
\ It will be bigger than Watergate
Me too.
The MSM does not even have a clue
Um..do you know something?
yes hang tight
“I hope by the 4th.
\ It will be bigger than Watergate “
If not the 4th, the 5th would be great. That was the birthday of a very important mentor/person in my life. He will smile down from heaven if that happened on either day.
One problem... Mr. Wright is a former muslim himself...
I like fireworks around the 4th:)
Good fireworks as long as the enemies aren’t shooting at us are enjoyable.
Polarik, just FYI, this afternoon I scanned both sides of an official grad school transcript that has been sitting in my file for decades.
The embossed seal was clearly visible no matter which side was scanned.
LOL-I have no doubt they are clueless, but will they cover it after it breaks?
Wonder how much traffic will increase on FR in the next week waiting for the big break?
I'm not getting it. How can a birth cert be valid with the cert number blacked out? Even if it was originally valid, blacking out the number should invalidate it.
Also, the Hawaii Vital Stats people told Texas Darlin' that they NEVER send out a cert with the number blacked out. That someone from the office in Hawaii supposedly told a reporter that the cert looks valid suggests that they are supporters anxious to make this issue go away.
BTTT
I cannot believe that we’re still dealing with this issue. I’ve posted several requests for Obama’s camp to come forth with the certificate number, and the hospital birth records, since there are two hospitals listed for his place of birt.
Anyone else, there would be tons of paper flying to prove the person identity. NOt this guy. He gives us a piece of paper that appears to be a forgery.
Why not clear this up once and for all?
Popcorn and bottle rockets at the ready.
bkmark for later
We’re from the duck n’ cover generation- we’ll be fine ;)
Please post those reasons on this post.
Outstanding. Let it break and let it break hard.
Is is bigger or smaller than a bread basket?
Obama’s only strong religious belief is that he himself is the second coming of Christ, which, I think, terminates any idea that he might be Muslim.
Dajjal will correct me if I’m wrong.
Something in the Indo newspapers?
Hey that’s a whole week away,...
UPDATE:> Here's what data officials in Hawaii have said
<> P>****************************EXCERPT*************************
All Obama would need to do to make this issue go away, is to request that Hawaii's office of Vital Records send him a properly CERTIFIED "Certificate," laser printed on the original green paper, that has no evidence of tampering or alteration.
Good Statement....
It’s pretty unbelievable, isn’t it..
SEE HOW BAD THOSE FREEPERS ARE!!!
Here’s to a bang up 4th of July bump.
Cheers.
