Troll? That is uncalled for.
“AMERICA IS STUPID”
Yep. The Demonrat-run education system in this country has finally borne fruit!
You're correct, but if Obama gets his tax refund/rebate of $500 per person or $1000 per couple, I have read that will move the percentage of Federal non-taxpayers above 50%. That would go a long way toward cementing a permanent socialist/Democrat majority.
Only eight?
Whew, what a relief, now we know everything’s all right. Don’t bother to tell us which Senator it is, they are all so honest, patriotic and trustworthy, that this completely puts my mind at ease about that silly birth certificate controversy. Examined by the University of Pennsylvania, real experts, golly, I’m impressed. It’s so reassuring to get a nice, detailed, thoughtful letter, obviously personally written, from one of our illustrious Senators. The tone was so typically condescending too, that now I feel downright ashamed I ever doubted Obama’s statements about his birth certificate. We don’t need to see that old piece of paper, heck, we’ve got a U.S. Senator telling us that even the Supreme Court doesn’t care. Ah, I feel so much better now knowing our government has everything under perfect control.
Oh, they did wait until he took the oath of office ya say??? Okay, never mind. No harm done.
=/:(
The Fix Is In and People Don’t Care.
Jimmy Crack Corn,,,,,,
The main point of the story is this: The woman seems to back up Obama’s claim that he was born in Hawaii, because the woman claims that a doctor, the father of her good friend, told her about the birth at a dinner party just a few days after Obama was born on Aug. 4, 1961.
Below is my response to the story.
1. To me, this woman has given us a wealth of good information on Obama that should be eagerly followed up so that we can find out once and for all if Obama was born in Hawaii at Kapiolani hospital on Aug. 4, 1961.
2. The woman says a Dr. West, the father of her friend, may have been the one who delivered Obama on Aug. 4, 1961 in Hawaii. NOTE:According to the story, 98 year old Dr. West died about a year ago.
3. The doctor’s daughter: I wish an experienced reporter could track down the doctor’s daughter, or some of the doctor’s relatives, to find out if anyone will back up the Buffalo woman’s story that Dr. West delivered Obama at Kapiolani hospital and her story about the doctor talking about “Stanley” having a baby.
4. The doctor’s background in Hawaii: I wish an experienced reporter would go to Hawaii and find out everything possible about the doctor.
5. For instance, is there anything in the doctor’s records that show us that Stanley Ann Dunham/Obama was a regular patient?
6. That is, is there any record that Dr. West had ties to the Dunham family in Hawaii, or did the doctor first meet the Dunham family when he supposedly delivered Obama on Aug. 4, 1961?
7. The Buffalo woman herself: I wish someone could interview her.
8. “Why do you think Obama won’t release his Hawaii long form birth certificate—the one with the doctor and hospital names on it—when it seems from what you talked about in your earlier interview, Obama really has nothing to hide about his birth in Hawaii”. This would be a good question to ask her.
9. “Do you think that you could meet with Obama and gently suggest to him that he has nothing to fear by releasing his Hawaii long form birth certificate—the one with the doctor and birth hospital names on it?” This would be another good question to ask her.
10. So, let us not dismiss so quickly this interview with the woman in Buffalo who talks about how she knew Obama in Hawaii, because I believe she could be a very good resource person when it comes to finding out once and for all if Obama was born in Hawaii as he claims.
11. I just hope an experienced news reporter can track down this woman and obtain more information about Obama’s years in Hawaii than she revealed in her original news story.
She also claimed that a doctor West, the father of her good friend, said or implied at a dinner party held the day of or the day after Obama's birth that he delivered Obama on Aug.4, 1961.
1. So, who is this doctor West?
2. According to a poster's research that was posted at world net daily recently, Dr. West---who died about a year ago at 98--- was a local celebrity because he was one of the last remaining survivors who witnessed the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor as a young naval officer.
3. Nov. 11, 2007 article in the Honolulu Advertiser, by Dan Nakaso that the world net daily poster provided a link to:
Nakaso wrote a long article on then 97 year old local celebrity Dr. West. Nakaso wrote that Dr. West regularly visited the Pearl Harbor memorial weekly to talk to people and to sign copies of his book on the Pearl Harbor attack.
4. Below is an excerpt from the Nakaso article that gives a brief background of Dr. West.
5. NOTE: I am a little surprised that the staff writer, Nakaso, did not ask Dr. West or mention that Dr. West may have been the doctor who delivered Obama back in Aug.4, 1961 at Kapiolani hospital.
6. Maybe some of Dr. West's relatives can tell us, the public, if it was true or not true that Dr. West did indeed deliver a baby Obama back in Aug. 4, 1941.
7. Part of the Nov. 11, 2007 article is below. It gives some background information on Dr. West:

My vote was trumped and negated by a damned ignorant idiot who came to the conclusion Obama was going to pay for her mortgage and her gasoline. My vote was worthless.
The "zero taxpayers" voted themselves a raise by voting for their messiah
0 is their messiah not yours, not mine
You vote was cancelled out by the non-producers of America
Same as the irresponsible and the innumerate in your neighborhood will get their mortgages re-adjusted to easy terms while you pay full freight
When Barack Hussein Obama places his hand on the Bible today to take the oath of office as 44th president of the United States, Barbara Nelson of Kenmore will undoubtedly think back to the day he was born. It was Aug. 4, 1961, at Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu.
“I may be the only person left who specifically remembers his birth. His parents are gone, his grandmother is gone, the obstetrician who delivered him is gone,” said Nelson, referring to Dr. Rodney T. West, who died in February at the age of 98. Here’s the story: Nelson was having dinner at the Outrigger Canoe Club on Waikiki Beach with Dr. West, the father of her college friend, Jo-Anne. Making conversation, Nelson turned to Dr. West and said: “‘So, tell me something interesting that happened this week,’” she recalls.
His response: “Well, today, Stanley had a baby. Now that’s something to write home about.”
The new mother was Stanley (later referred to by her middle name of Ann) Dunham, and the baby was Barack Hussein Obama.
“I penned the name on a napkin, and I did write home about it,” said Nelson, knowing that her father, Stanley A. Czurles, director of the Art Education Department at Buffalo State College, would be interested in the “Stanley” connection.
She also remembers Dr. West mentioning that the baby’s father was the first black student at the University of Hawaii and how taken he was by the baby’s name.
“I remember Dr. West saying ‘Barack Hussein Obama, now that’s a musical name,’” said Nelson, who grew up in Kenmore and went to Hawaii in 1959 to be in Jo-Anne’s wedding party. When Nelson was offered a job as a newspaper reporter and photographer at her friend’s wedding reception, it led to her living in Hawaii for 47 years. She returned to Kenmore in 2006.
Ten years after that memorable birth announcement, Nelson would hear the Obama name again. This time, the father, now a Kenyan government official, was coming to speak at the Punahou School in Honolulu where Nelson was teaching and where his 10-year-old son was a newly enrolled fifth-grader.

******
Obama's father was the first black student at the University of Hawaii?
This statement does not seem right to me. I would think that the doctor meant the first black student from Africa.
Excellent post. Well said, Steel Wolf.
The one on the stand that I looked at in the store (all I ever do.) had a great article about how Michelle gets so mad at Barack.
Said they didn’t speak to each other much in Hawaii.
Also had other info about his mother and showed a little bit of a real birth certificate.
For discernment.
I would get the writer to explain how he knows that UPenn verified the BC. This is the first I’ve heard of it. And what did they verify - the one on the internet? Certainly not the sealed one in Hawaii. And why was UPenn brought into it - I thought only weirdos had any doubt about this BC. I’d get him to address those issues.
I have seen a lot of references on the blog about people who live off the government their whole lives.... There was welfare reform quite a few years ago - there is a 5 year lifetime limit on receiving governmental assistance. That’s it. Just fyi.
You know you hear all of these things about obama. I could care less about him. He speaks more about the fact that hes black than anything else. When in fact he is not all black. Wheres the proof of any of the things thay are said about him. I dont want to hear the bullshit. I want the proof. So he can get the hell out of there.
