Obama Should End The Birth Certificate Controversy

By The Rev. Michael Bresciani, For The Bulletin

The question of whether Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya thus disqualifying him to run as a presidential candidate will not go away. It is like the little mushrooms that appear every morning under the tree, they keep coming back. What should the president-elect do?

It is not fair to label those who want answers as racists, disillusioned right-wingers, conspiracy nuts or any other convenient appellation thereby asking them to simply shut up. Lawsuits filed to require that an official vault document be produced have come from African-Americans, democrats and a host of constitutionally concerned citizens.

In fact one You Tube offering about the matter garnered 750,000 views alone and the total viewing of videos and articles on the subject is somewhere near 3 million to date.

The problems with the birth certificate offered on the extreme left Web site the Daily Kos and a few other Internet sites are too many to ignore. The short list is first that the document is not signed. Secondly, it has no seal. Third, is that the security border doesn't match similar documents from the same time period. Other objections are that the race of Mr. Obama's father is listed as African. In the early '60s the State of Hawaii listed African- Americans as Negroes.

What is missing from the document is the doctor's signature and physical characteristics at birth that every original birth certificate reveals.

Some interested party's have submitted the internet document to the scrutiny of Adobe and graphic experts who all agree the document is highly questionable or a complete fraud. Is it? Who knows at this point? What is far more intriguing is the resistance being thrown at uncovering the true vault document. This is what is spawning suspicion and doubt.

Attorney Philip Berg has filed a writ of certiorari that should force the president-elect, the DNC and co-defendants to produce the document in accordance with law. Ambassador Alan Keyes has pending suits and a total of 17 others are submitting their quests to various levels of state courts.

Here are the important reasons President-elect Obama should cooperate and put the whole matter to bed as quickly as possible.

Because he can. With a simple request to the Hawaii Bureau of Vital Statistics he can quash all doubt and get on with his administration.

He will remove the suspicions of millions of Americans, republicans, democrats and independents alike. If ignored it could cause a constitutional crises unlike anything ever seen in this country. It would make questions of chads and incomplete voting cards look like a kindergarten problem by contrast.

It will indicate that Mr. Obama means business when he takes the oath of office and declares that he will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. It will give confidence to many of his opponents who may not agree with all his policies, but want to know that he is a completely honest man with the country's best interest in mind.

It would put to rest the assertion that he is an elitist. All Americans must submit proper documentation of birth to get Social Security cards, driver's license, security clearance and passports. He should be willing to carry out the first and the least of all his campaign promises contained in the slogan "Yes, we can." In America we can and according to law "we must."

We will all sleep better at night!
It is a surprisingly simple matter to make it all go away but it is presently entrenched in court battles and suspicion. In a full page ad in the Washington Times Nov. 17, 2008 three questions are asked. Was Barack Obama born in Kenya? Is he really a citizen of Indonesia? Does the Constitution still matter?

Good questions, we're listening.

“As has been stated (and quoted) over and over, all Dr. Onaka did was state that there was a certificate on file. This was not in dispute. He did not utter one word about the content, or whether it matched the so-called COLB.

As for birth notices, these were probably placed by the proud grandparents. You can put an add in the paper any time.”

---

State law requires the short form COLB to be identical with regard to data entries to the long form COLB. Hawaii Revised Statutes 338-13(b).

Nope, the Honolulu newspapers, like most newspapers get birth notices directly from the Health Department’s vital statistics bureau.

Hi Freepers,
I am just trying to spread the word about a fellow Freeper’s web site and the Freedom March Organization. Joe Thunder started the organization and the link is below. Perhaps you have heard the Joe Thunder program on Plains Radio Network. Please visit and read about the mission of the Freedom March Organization. Perhaps you might want to join and help in any way you can. I am helping by spreading the word about events that will take place. Right now we are focusing on showing support for Leo Donofrio, Cort Wrotnowski, and Alan Keyes in their efforts to bring the truth to light and save our Constitution.

Joe Thunder has organized a Freedom March for this coming Friday in Washington D.C. to bring attention to the important decision to by made by our honorable Supreme Court Justices. Please read about the details at the Freedom March link below. Perhaps you know folks who live in the D.C. area who would want to join other Freepers and Patriots to show support for Leo Donofrio and Cort Wrotnowski in hopes there cases will be heard.

Please spread the word to Freepers you know and anyone on your email list who you know would want to help.
Please post the link on your Free Republic state board to help spread the word. Thanks so much! seekthetruth

We all have been.. For me it is not an issue of trying to UN-elect Obama.. but rather the arogance of the LEFT when they say that “it does not matter” what the constitution says, the people elected Obama.. end of story....

If Obama is inaugurated without PROVING he is eligible the Constitution will be worth little more that the toilet paper in my bathroom..

Hanoi John still has not come clean. I doubt the anointed one would. They live in a world of lies. You ask to much from such maggots to come clean.
