Not the last word on Obama's birth Joseph Farah

© 2009 About one thing you can be certain: Any time someone has the audacity to write a column proclaiming it is the "last word" about a subject, it's sure to prompt rebuttals.

On July 30, James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal tried his best to put the final nail in the coffin of the "birther" corpse. But rumors of the death of the Barack Obama eligibility story were, as Mark Twain would say, greatly exaggerated.

From his comfortable perch on the south side of Manhattan, Taranto apparently holds the view that so-called "birthers" – a name derisively slapped on all those who believe Obama should simply release his long-form birth certificate for the good of the country and to settle growing doubts about his status as a legal president – are part of a cohesive movement, a monolithic entity, some kind organized conspiracy, if you will.

Taranto simply can't see the forest for the trees – or, worse, refuses to do so in his desire to ridicule "birthers." For instance, he ignores the fact that Hawaiian laws have permitted foreigners to obtain "certifications of live birth," the document Obama has called his birth certificate.

Hawaii's shockingly poor record-keeping also made it possible for babies to be issued "certifications of live birth" with the wrong parents listed and the wrong date of birth. No hospital or physician would need to be listed. No independent witnesses needed Yet, on that faulty foundation, Taranto is quick to label as lunatics those who dare demand better evidence to meet the critical constitutional test of natural born citizenship.

It’s pretty simple to explain, really. Monarchs do not have to respond to calls for information from the peons.

Nice article by Farah. Not always his biggest fan, but this is a good piece.

Ya, even the nurdly ones, but I'm still going to keep asking anyway.

[Jeff Head]

Exactly...we are viewed as peons by these elitists. And this issue reveals it for all to see and understand.

That's because this issue is such a simple thing to put to rest. I have a passport and a birth certificate. I can produce them at my house in a matter of minutes. I have not spent a million dollars to either acquire them...or to hide them.

This is not a unreasonable thing to ask for since being a "natural born citizen" of the US is a constitutional requirement for the job of President. It's not hateful, and it's not racist.

Proving that you are should be an honor.

Yet Obama cannot and will not produce either. Why?

But boy, did this picture get them worked up...and it will continnue today.

Click on it for a larger pic and more info. Even though it is most likely not authentic at all...it underscores the need for Obama to put his own certificate to the same test. But again, he will not.

The following, from Kenya, looks a whole lot more authenticate than what Obama has created on his web iste.

I don’t want just his BC. I want college transcripts etc. There’s a whole list.

[jwparkerjr]

It could be that even HE does not have a copy like the one pictured. A lot of people lose track of their BC and if there wasn’t one on file where he claims to have been born then it would be hard to get a certified copy, especially from Kenya. Could be that the attorney who handled mom’s divorce had the only copy available.

It should be no problem getting the pictured one verified. There are entire law firms who do nothing but work to prove or disprove the authenticity of documents.

I’m sure there’s enough popcorn in North America to handle the upcoming spectacle. I think I will buy some popcorn stock or futures today.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

At first I just wanted the BC and I felt that it was 50-50 that he was an American and able to serve as President.
BUT
Now, with his maneuvers and insults, I want the whole enchilada. College transcripts, grades, papers, etc... We have a right to know who we elected. This is the stuff the left would demand if Obama was a Conservative. And, in that case they would be right. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

[DJ MacWoW]

In Andrew McCarthy’s excellent piece, he points out all the inconsistencies very concisely. We know absolutely nothing about this man except what he’s told us. And most of that is a lie. We want records.

[curiosity]

Hawaii's shockingly poor record-keeping also made it possible for babies to be issued "certifications of live birth" with the wrong parents listed and the wrong date of birth. No hospital or physician would need to be listed. No independent witnesses needed to be involved. All that was required by Hawaii to obtain this document was an affidavit by one person claiming to be a parent.

I've seen this alleged by birthers in numerous places, but I have yet to see a single piece of evidence to back it up.

Does anyone have a source?
