Official Request byCongressmen to See Obama's Birth Certificate-Straw Which Breaks This Camel's Back

[STARWISE]

I don’t see confirmation that Deal’s actually sent a letter. And there’s the linking of things that seem totally unrelated ... Palin, Ogden ??. Maybe I missed something.

[wintertime]

Wondering whether or not Obama can or will try to use executive privilege to avoid submitting proper documentation is not trolling. Neither is pondering the implications of Cheney’s failure to ask for objections at the electoral vote certification.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Democrats are losing patience with Obama as well.

We do know his father was Kenyan and British and I personally would like a Supreme Court clarification of that issue.

I want that too.

[curiosity]

Then what?

Then it will be up to the birthers to prove that the witness committed fraud, which they won't be able to do.

But it won't come to that. At most, Obama will simply let the Congressman examine physical copy of the same COLB document that was photographed on Factcheck, and the Congressman will say he is satisfied.

In the very unlikely event the Congressman says he wants to see the long form, Obama will simply say the COLB is sufficient to prove his place of birth in any court of law (which it is), and that will be the end of it.

“Never lie, but if you do.... never stop.” Obama will follow this rule, in that he will never stop. I don’t care how much heat is turned up over this BC stuff, he will stay silent or simply shine it on.

Bill Clinton's deny, deny, deny.

But,someone always slips up!

[penelopesire]

Me either..not on his website anyway. The Post and Email is a citizen journalist type site(which I support in theory) but we should wait for some confirmation from other sources before we get too excited.

[curiosity]

They have played a shell game with the real BC

Not really. The computer printout that was posted on the internet is an offical certification by the state of Hawaii the facts contained on the form, including the fact that he was born in Honolulu.

That's good enough in any court of law to prove the place of birth.

So no, it's not the original birth certificate, but that's irrelevant.

If he produces it now and it is kosher, he'll look like a turd for concealing it all this time.

Not even close to correct. If it is kosher, it will make all those who have been yelling so loudly about it look like fools -- and the MSM will willingly help that perception along.

Otherwise.... well, that would be an interesting conundrum.

I was thinking of Senator Grassley’s requests for documentation from the WH regarding Walpin’s firing. Was the WH not obligated to respond on some level?

If I recall correctly, those requests were formally issued by the Senate Finance Committee as part of an official investigation. And, even there, I don't think the WH "fully cooperated" (or even barely cooperated). Unless a Congressional Committee issues a formal subpoena, the WH is not obligated to respond. And, when a committee does issue a formal subpoena, the WH (all WH - of any administration) frequently cites to executive privilege - but that's because the Congressional Committee is seeking information about Executive Branch deliberations/actions.

In contrast, here, as reported, a bunch of Reps are getting together - without the auspice of any official committee with subpoena power - to "ask" Obama to provide information about something that occurred long before he became president. So - it's not an official request. If such a request were to come from a Congressional Committee with subpoena powers, however, he could not (imho) claim Executive Privilege because the information the committee would be seeking has nothing whatsoever to do with his actions as President. Executive Privilege applies only to deliberations by the Executive Branch.

Does that make sense?

Obama already has slipped up, but most of those in power have looked the other way. Although, I do appreciate what you said.

[Red Steel]

Yeah, I don’t know if he has sent the letter. ...A few things more seem to be in play. OilImmigration.com’s website is down from hackers, and Post & Email have also come under Internet attack. AntiMullah.com is being censored by Google. Reports that The Washington Times is being attacked by the White House.

[null and void]

An image of a possibly forged document posted on the internet by an accused’s friends suffices as evidence?

I hope you never sit on a jury.

Ever.

[Canedawg]

No it certainly is not irrelevant. The computer printout wasnt even requested by him until 2002. I want to see the one that was prepared in the regular course of business at or near the time of the event. That is extremely relevant to this matter.

[1_Rain_Drop]

"The Obama’s are planning to spend the Xmas holidays in Hawaii.

Really? Hawaii again?
I wonder if we'll be entertained with another Hawaiian black out just like last time.

As to the BC, it doesn't matter anymore. Too much time has gone by. It's too obvious he's a usurper.

I still would be curious to see the document when he legally changed his name from Soetoro to obama.

[Sibre Fan]

There were no questions surrounding the president’s qualifications in 2005. So I wouldn’t expect anything different. I don’t know why, but I was under the impression that the written objections could only be submitted if and when Cheney asked for objections. Is there a process beforehand to submit objections?

I don't know if there's an official process for that, but I know that in 2000, not just Congress -- but anyone watching the news in the days leading up to the count -- knew that, in the Senate, a formal objection either had or would be filed, so there was no surprise when it was announced on the floor.

I'm fairly certain that the statute says only that written objections must be filed -- it does not say when they must be filed. But, at a minimum, there is precedent for prior notice of written objections - from 2000.

[WhirlwindAttack]

bump

[Canedawg]

He will look like a turd whether you think so or not; he’ll be viewed as a total asshole for wasting valuable court resources in concealing his identity.

He’s definitely a jerk for not coming clean on this in a timely manner.

[OafOfOffice]

What if he has Hawaii send him a copy and it's the same thing that was shown on the Interwebs? Then what?

Then he would have released it and got this over with by now. Every day he deceives and uses DOJ to defend his lies he becomes more criminal.

He could have had Hawaii records release a copy of the short form if it was just like the one on the web.

[OafOfOffice]

Get over your pathetic grudge already. It’s tiresome and childish.

Obama is not here to read your comment to him.

[r9etb]

Nope, not this time. If there's nothing of interest about his BC, the only effect will be to make the people who shouted so loudly about it, look silly.

There are plenty of things the Obama has done and is doing that make him look very bad, indeed. The BC thing can't match that ... unless it's open to question. In that case, I believe we'd have a rather interesting Constitutional crisis on our hands.
