Senator Questions Obama Eligibility
World Net Daily ^ | Feb. 22, 2009 | World Net Daily

WASHINGTON – A U.S. senator has weighed in on the continuing controversy over Barack Obama's eligibility for office by saying he has never seen proof the new president was actually born in Hawaii.

"Well, his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate," Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., told constituents in Cullman County. "You have to be born in America to be president."

[His wiki page is already smearing him for this.

“In February 2009, Senator Shelby questioned President Barack Obama’s status as a natural born citizen of the United States, despite exhaustive proof of President Obama’s natural born citizenship. Senator Shelby’s comments are seen by many as perpetuating racially motivated rumors about the President, and Senator Shelby’s comments have been widely condemned.”]

Talk about having your talking points ready and set! Get a screenshot! When exactly did the Shelby statement come and, well, given the Sunday AM talk shows are about the only place the livin-it-up libs pay attention to on weekends, who is saying what wiki claims? ha-ha.

When in the world are they ever going to get off this ‘racially motivated” dreck? Ever?

LOOK DAMMIT, don’t go so tangential

McCain provided every last scrap of ANYTHING surrounding his birth circumstances—for molecular scrutiny!!

Obama has fought every single attempt to release his medical (except a single page), all university records, his selective service, passport files and the piece de resistance...his BIRTH CERTIFICATE) with legal obstruction.

THERE IS A REASON!

Zer0 either cannot produce a valid COLB or he wants to prove he’s bigger than the U.S. Constitution by letting this issue grow. I cannot say which.

If he is found to be ineligible to be president, all EO’s, all laws he signs, all orders he issued to the military, all cabinet appointments and their changes to regulations will all become null and void. Essentially, we reset back to January 19, 2009.

My edit to his page:

In February 2009, Senator Shelby joined the ranks of hundreds of thousands of Americans when he questioned President Barack Obama’s status as a natural born citizen of the United States. Although questioning the veracity of President Obama’s citizenship could hardly be described as racially motivated (particularly given the Senator’s political record), Senator Shelby’s comments are seen by many liberals as perpetuating racially motivated rumors about the President.

McCain had the additional claim to being a natural born citizen because the Panama Canal Zone was a U.S. Territory when he was born.

I’m waiting for Senator Cornyn to step forward on this. I believe he will....soon.

This is a very calculated move on the part of Dick Shelby. Looks like my short list of leaders was at least partly correct.

As a small group of Freepers and a few others know, there is thugalicious ( get used to that word, a new Freeper term)skulduggery afoot in America over this very issue that Shelby has raised. And I believe that skulduggery, governmental abuse of Americans who have spoken out, is the reason Dick Shelby has opened this matter in the press.

God bless the brave and free ordinary Americans who speak out as patriots.

And may God speed Dick Shelby's course and protect his life, for there are forces afoot in this country who would silence him at any cost.

Be wary my fellow Americans. Fascists thugs are now operational within our government and its enforcement agencies.

Stay very tuned to the news from the Northwest Sector of our nation.

You enter the names of friends or folks that you talk with here on FR into the "To" box.

You then post the word "PING" to indicate that you want them to read the current article or post that you find interesting.

PING is the sound effect of a golf ball getting hit by a golf club (Driver).

I tend to believe he was born in HI, but it's remotely possible he wasn't. His mother was definitely an American citizen, but it is possible his parents never married or had a valid one even though there are purported divorce papers. It is more the Indonesian citizenship (if true) and what followed that I think may have more legs.

I've let my driver's license expire, and among other things, have to have my birth certificate, immigration papers or something else they accept; luckily I happened to have one on hand. It has to have the raised seal. They will not accept the hospital copy with the footprints which I once had but has long since disappeared.

Mine has my full name, sex, DOB, time, place, hospital, mother's full maiden name, father's full name, medical attendant (doctor in my case), date of filing, Cert #, and issue date of the certified copy, signed by deputy. The filing was delayed by 9 days, must have been the way it was then.

Nowhere does it say anything about race.

On the bottom it says in bold "ALTERATIONS - VOID THIS INSTRUMENT".

THERE IS A REASON!

Can anyone name the last President who we did not have volumes of information available shortly after winning election? it seems in my lifetime that everything one could want to possibly know was made available.

The only reason we do not know the entire anal exam of this POS is because if we did it would scare the bat crap out of us. Well, 30 days has more than given any intelligent American a view into his radical Marxist window. The guy is a radical America hating freak. Removing him constitutionally from office would be a dream come true....

“I shudder”...

Don't.

Fear is what they're counting on.

If there happens to be civil unrest, which there will be, we will steamroll ‘em.
