The day before McCain surprised the nation with his pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate, I had a ‘discussion’ with a woman I have known for many years.
Although well into the “gifted” range (so called “genius“ ) she has a penchant for choosing political losers!
She is a walking talking example that IQ and common sense do not necessarily follow the same ark.
I had once argued, that if I were President, I would put her on my staff as a reverse barometer; I would do the opposite of whatever course of action she would suggest I take -- in regards to my Presidential duties.
She is also a lefty!
I mean, FAR left.
She is so FAR left that, compared to her, Hillary Clinton is conservative!
Of course, she considers herself a “progressive”.
Who’d have guessed?
So it should be no surprise to you, my readers, that she thinks Obama is the greatest thing since hot-popped corn!
As an old-time liberal acquaintance of mine used to say of her -- and he considered himself pretty liberal in his day -- “she is WAY-OUT in LEFT field” (he was also a big baseball fan!)
SO HERE’S THE STORY:
I had sent her some links regarding the charge by one or more forensic experts that Obama’s certificate of live birth -- displayed on his “fight the smears” website (fightthesmears.com) -- is a poorly done forgery!
Sometime later we had a discussion on the phone about the implications of Obama not coming forth with his actual birth certificate or an authentic original copy.
“Why the fake certificate of live birth?” I asked her.
“I don’t think it’s a big deal,” she told me.
“What do you mean no big deal,” I said.
“Here’s what I think,” she said, “ Obama was born out of wedlock!”
“You mean he’s a bastard?” I said
“Yes,” she said.
Playing devils advocate, I argued … “who would care?”
“After all it wouldn’t be his fault if his mother was unwed when he was born,” I said.
“In this day and age what would be the big deal?” I continued.
“It would be a big deal,” she retorted.
“You mean he is ashamed?” I said.
“Yes,” she said.
“He would publish a poor forgery and hide his real birth certificate to cover it up?” I continued.
“Yes,” she said.
“A very poor forgery that could easily be discovered?” I said.
“He probably doesn’t even know,” she said.
“How could he not know?” I said.
“He might not,” she said.
Plausible deniability? I thought.
I let it go.
Then the discussion turned toward “other things” … and I had to hear the inevitable “hate Bush” tirade… words that spew forth from the mouth’s of lefties, like the turbulent waters that broke through the Levies in New Orleans propelled terribly, if irrationally, by hurricane Katrina.
After hanging up the phone the discussion I had with her, about the possibility of Obama being born out of wedlock, was pushed to the back of my mind where it was filed under:
Obama / birth / birth-certificate / cover-up / fake certificate of live birth / possible motives / illegitimate.
A couple of days passed and then came the announcement that John McCain had chosen Sarah Palin for his running mate, and I was energized by the prospect of an intelligent, well grounded, conservative woman -- a very beautiful woman -- as Vice President of the United states.
Then the story broke about her daughter Bristol being pregnant and not married.
And, of course, the mainstream media wolves -- ever hungry for red-meat -- were licking their chops!
Then Obama made the well known statement that children and family should be “out of bounds” and that, after all, “his own mother was only eighteen when she had him”.
When he said “ families are out of bounds” I got the impression that he was attempting to preclude any snooping into his own family background.
I smelled subterfuge.
He was using something straightforward and plausible to obfuscate.
But what was in his family background that he would be anxious to hide?
Being the dullard I am I didn’t immediately connect the dots.
Then it hit me:
That discussion I had with my “progressive” acquaintance about the possibility that Obama was born out of wedlock.
It was an “a-ha” moment!
Now I want everyone to know that I don’t think that if Obama were born ‘illegitimate’ that it should -- because of any perceived impropriety of his mother and father -- have any bearing on his qualifications (or lack thereof) to be President of the United States.
Apparently, one of America’s most famous leaders was born out of wedlock.
“By his own account, Hamilton was born in Charlestown, the capital of Nevis in the British West Indies, out of wedlock, to Rachel Faucett Lavien” (wikipedia)
So the question is:
Would an illegitimate birth generate enough shame within Obama, that in order to avoid such a stigma, he would cover it up by publishing a fake certificate of live birth, in lieu of a birth certificate or an original copy of one?
Does his authentic birth certificate actually say “father unknown” on it?
Or, perhaps, there is an authentic certificate of live birth with “father unknown” … written on it because his mother could not produce a marriage license, at the time of Obama’s birth.
However, as I suggested, such a revelation would not necessarily hurt him politically.
Let me tell you why.
I think if he were picked-on over this issue it would actually gain him sympathy with the public.
According to the leftwing, radical icon, Saul Alinsky:
“Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.” ( Saul Alinsky’s rules for radicals)
Picking on Obama for “the sins” of his parents would garner sympathy from the public.
His parents being unmarried at his birth would be beyond his control.
Such an “attack” would be perceived as intrinsically unfair.
To judge him for this would be as bad as condemning him for the color of his skin.
Despite the propaganda that came out of Obama’s “former” mentor, reverend Wright:
It’s not the America most of us live in know.
OK… everybody … put on your tinfoil hats!
Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Got them on?
Is it possible that Obama WANT’S his illegitimacy to be discovered -- preferably by conservatives -- in order to garner public sympathy?
Look, no one opposes an Obama Presidency more than I, however, if he were beat-up solely on the basis of a perceived stigma of being born “illegitimate” even I would sympathize with him!
OK, you can take the tinfoil hats off now!
However, it is undeniable that the COVER-UP of such an event as his illegitimate birth would be within his control and, therefore, the public would be justified in debating the pros and cons of such a cover-up by Obama’s campaign:
He DID publish a fraudulent certificate of live birth.
There are also questions about whether his Mother’s being unmarried at the time of his birth would have on the well known “natural born citizen” requirement to become President, under The Constitution Of The United States.
So why the cover up?
The forged certificate of live birth?
Was Obama born to unwed parents?
Would shame of his “illegitimate” birth be enough of a motive for Obama’s campaign to publish a very poor forgery of a certificate of live birth… a forgery that they must have known had a good chance of being discovered as such?
Or is the Obama campaign hiding something that could be far more damaging?
A few years back I sent away for an original copy of my birth certificate.
I had lost mine.
The original copy paper says (not on the copy-image itself but on the copy paper to the left of the copy-image) “must be validated on back” … and there is a date and signature etc.
On the back is an embossed stamp together with more dates and signatures etc.
It cost me about ten dollars (in those days) for an official original copy of my birth certificate, on file at my state capital.
I got it in about ten days.
I was young and had moved to another state.
Having lost my birth certificate, I needed an original copy in order to get a driver license, a bank account, and ultimately… a job.
Employers -- especially companies that must report taxis and pay into workers compensation and other programs -- expect to see some sort of identification from a potential employee.
They like to know who they are hiring.
They also like to know that the employee is honest and trustworthy.
The American people may be “hiring” Barack Obama as the next President of The United States.
As a potential employee we (the People of the United States) would like Obama to submit legitimate identification, namely:
A birth certificate or an official original copy of his birth certificate.
I don’t think that’s asking too much from a potential employee.
By the way, Mr. Obama…
… A forgery is unacceptable!
“Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas. They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they’ll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of ‘social change.’”
They already have ‘reeducation camps’ — I think they are called ‘public schools’ and universities!
But I hear you!
Obama’s ‘Hitler youth’ with a twist in that they will learn to hate all those ‘racist’ white folk on our money that Obama complains don’t look like him.
They will learn to hate their own country and western heritage... a heritage that is, you know... so ‘yesterday!’
And, of course, they will all get a good dose of the racist, and genocidal, black liberation theology, although they may call it something else, in order to conceal the evil implications of such a teaching.

TO ALL:
Dear, ml/nj.
First, you refuse to address the issue at hand... so you decide to attack the messenger with pejoratives like ‘hay Sherlock’ etc.
When the ‘messenger’ replies to you — unable to argue cogently — you address him in the third person.
Frankly sir, I will leave it to others to make up their own mind as to who is, or is not, an ‘embarrassment’ — as you say.
Have a nice day!
