I hope I am proven wrong.
I hope for the sake of our country that I and many other concerned citizens across the country are looked upon as well-intentioned but ultimately misguided individuals who chased a bad rumor based on lies and distortions.
The reason I hope to be thought wrong (although well-intentioned) is because the price of being right about the constitutional requirements to be president not being met by the current occupant of the Oval Office is too disturbing to be imagined.
If, in fact, Barack Obama does not meet the requirements set out by the U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section I, it would throw this country into a constitutional crisis. Vice President Joe Biden would, obviously, become President Biden. The harrowing part of this taking place is that every appointment made, every piece of legislation signed, and every executive order issued by Barack Obama could, and should, be considered invalid.
Full-moon time? I know, I know; I sound like a raving lunatic. So where do I draw my conclusions that this is even a valid issue to entertain?
Let's review what's been accepted as "fact" by the mainstream press and the vast majority of Americans: Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Stanley Ann Dunham, 18, and Barack Obama Sr., 25.
Now let's look at some of the questions challenging these accepted "facts":
Concerned citizens across the United States since well before the November election have questioned Barack Obama's "natural born" qualification for the presidency. From sea to shining sea, at least 18 lawsuits with plaintiffs including a former presidential candidate, a former deputy attorney general, state legislators and retired and active duty members of the military, are attempting to compel him to verify his citizenship.
Candidate Obama's own Web site, fightthesmears.com, posted a "Certification of Live Birth," which, according to the Web site, proves that Obama is in fact a natural born U.S. citizen. What the Web site won't tell you, however, is that a "Certification of Live Birth" is not a birth certificate, and that at the time, the state of Hawaii allowed foreign-born children of U.S. citizens (Stanley Ann Dunham) to have their births registered with this document based on a statement of only one relative. The obvious question must be asked: If Obama has an original "long form" birth certificate issued on the day of his birth by the state of Hawaii, why would he also have a "Certification of Live Birth"? It would not be necessary. Critics have called upon President Obama to just give the state of Hawaii his permission to release his original "long form" birth certificate. The "long form" birth certificate would include all the pertinent information about his birth: name of the hospital, name and signature of the attending physician and a seal of the Hawaiian Health Department. This simple action by President Obama would immediately end all speculation about his citizenship and the reasons for the various lawsuits. Instead, President Obama is spending time and money hiring lawyers to fight these lawsuits. Why?
Why doesn't the mainstream press cover these lawsuits? I mean, in 2004, Dan Rather did a bang up job covering something a lot less important. Rather had "authentic" memos critical of President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard service record. Yet there are some legitimate questions about the constitutional eligibility of our president, and yet not one single major press outlet is covering it. Part of the reason is that this issue has supposedly settled by the independent authority on Obama's birth certificate, FactCheck.org. Yet on their Web site, FactCheck.org states:
"The document is a 'certification of birth,' also known as a short-form birth certificate. The long form is drawn up by the hospital and includes additional information such as birth weight and parents' hometowns. The Hawaii Department of Health's birth record request form does not give the option to request a photocopy of your long-form birth certificate. We tried to ask the Hawaii DOH why they only offer the short form, among other questions, but they have not given a response."
So the independent authority on this question has admitted that they have not seen the original long-form birth certificate. And the questions remain.
I sincerely hope that Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1961 and therefore meets the constitutional requirements to be president. If not, our Constitution must be followed and procedures put in place for future elections wherein all candidates on the ballot must prove they meet the requirements set forth by the law of the land, the U.S. Constitution.

I hope for the sake of the country he was born in Kenya so he gets the boot. He is fraud. If people riot because he broke the law then they are wrong and need push back.
Personally I suspect the little bastard’s father was really Frank Marshal Davis, and that’s why he’s hiding the evidence.
The reason that Obama is hiding his birth certificate is that he is son of Frank Marshall Davis.
Let the riots begin.
LOVE your tag, Frantzie
Wishful thinking for those who love America -- but Americans can dream I suppose.
“....because the price of being right about the constitutional requirements to be president not being met by the current occupant of the Oval Office is too disturbing to be imagined.”

No it isn’t. Not in the least.
Rolling back Marxism, attacks on productive Americans, open racism and machinations designed to complete overturn 230 years of American progress should never be considered “disturbing”.
Let the pigs riot. We know how to hit back. Hard.
This newspaper is in Victoria, Texas.
I hope for the sake of the country he wasn’t born in Hawaii. This way we have a chance in hell in getting him out of office before the 4 years are up and he has more time to destroy our country. When the military brass realize he isn’t able to give lawful orders and they will be breaking the law by following his unlawful orders, things will have to come to a head quickly and he will be compelled to prove exactly where he was born.
How could anyone in good conscious even run for POTUS knowing they did not meet constitutional requirements? And if they did think of the danger the nation could now be in.
For the Left, protections for political speech are not there to protect people critizing left wing idealogy--for they call such "hate speech". Rather for the Left such protections are to protect the tax payer funding of vulgar art which is hateful to those they dislike.
Why should we expect that they treat her with respect now?
Because they are a well intergrated part of the Propaganda Ministry.
Simply by not having a conscience. Just like any dictator, crook, Marxist, or leftist-extremist.
One nightmare would end and another would begin.
OH the huge manatees!
If he was born in Kenya he will keep his Records locked up tight until well beyond his natural life. My guess is our great great grand children might be able to see these records. But no one will care as “The Great Leader” will be enshrined in myth and legends by then...
Thanks.
