FWIW

Undoubtedly accompanied by choirs of angels and trumpet playing cherubs.

Just words, show me the paperwork. I'm sort of anal that way...

[Gator113]

Why would any sane person spend over a million dollars to hide something they knew would not harm them?

Does the DMV accept newspaper announcements as proof of identity? Should be good enough for the Muslim in Chief /s

[rawcatslyentist]

Every American Citizen must PROVE he is such to obtain employment in this nation.

Since he doesn't, we know his citizenship status!

[timetostand]

Yes and!!! I thought the question was is he a NATURAL born citizen?? But I guess that is just Constitutional mumbo jumbo!

[EDINVA]

Any reason it would be on file at Berkeley?

Assuming the reference is to UC-Berkeley, I don’t recall hearing he ever attended class there, perhaps he applied, but who sends a birth announcement with a college application?

Same ole thing, different day.

[EDINVA]

Ok, I went to the linked site. I tend to avoid that since often those links do little more than give me pop ups or worse). So, some intrepid student at UC-Berkeley sought out the microfiche from 1961.

It’s not overly impressive in that it doesn’t provide the information everyone seems to be seeking nor does it address the ‘natural born’ issue.

If nothing to hide, why hide it?

We need a Hawaii DOH hacker to bust this wide open. Whatever he's hiding, it's a 'career' ender. Most likely a long prison term.

That leaves the only possibility being that Momma Obama, knowing that her son would run for president, sent some kind of payment via email, using PayPal to bribe the guys that worked at the Microfilm processing plant in endure that an Obama birth announcement was inserted into the master file!

GOOD!
GREAT!!!!!!
FANTASTIC!!!!!!


IF THIS NEWSPAPER "BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT" IS GENUINE, THEN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHATSOEVER FOR HIM TO NOT PRODUCE THE ORIGINAL, LONG FORM, HAWAIIAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!!

Come on obamabots...show us the announcement, and then verify it's validity by showing us the real, long-for birth certificate. Failure to do that means you've pulled a "dan rather".

[Shery]

I am asking a question here...

Did I hear that McCain had to be officially vetted by Congress that he was, in fact, a bonafide US citizen due to his birth in a foreign (military setting) hospital, but to American parents? If this is correct, how did Obama get out of this? After all, even if he was born in HI, which is highly unlikely, his father was not an American citizen and so Barry could not be one, either. can we not request through our Congress-critters that this be done, even if it is after-the-fact?

[agere_contra]

What on earth?

No one doubts that there was an announcement in this paper.

But it doesn’t mean anything: it would have been created automatically from short form, which Obama’s Grandmother could have had generated while he was still in Kenya.

No need for anything that conspiratorial. Given the circumstances, if Obama were born outside the US, it is entirely possible that his mother's status was not enough to convey citizenship due to her young age (the Hawaii statutes that existed at the time, from my understanding, required the mother to have been a full time resident of the US for at least five years prior to the birth) and the father, of course, could not convey citizenship status at all. If Obama's mama (or grandparents) understood this, and wanted to ensure that Obama had the very valuable gift of American citizenship, they simply would have gone through the motions to pretend that he had been born in Hawaii. It does not have to involve any psychic ability to foresee a presidential run. US citizenship is valuable in its own right, even if you don't plan to run for president.

With respect to the birth announcement, I don't see why it means jack squat to anybody. It is just a one-line announcement giving the name of the parents and their address. It doesn't say anything about where Obama was born. It could easily have been phoned in. Who would bother to fact check a birth announcement?

Those people who like to paint the "birthers" as nutjobs like to build up the conspiracy strawmen so they can support their own bias, but it doesn't require any kind of conspiracy (until the presidential campaign) for things to have worked out in the way that some "birthers" theorize, and once the campaign began, it only required the Obama camp's minimal effort to avoid documentation of Obama's birth status to carry off the fraud. In fact, if Obama were really born in Kenya, I would imagine that his closest campaign advisors would have thought long and hard about whether they could pull of the campaign fraud using the existing birth fraud, and once they decided that it would work, they went ahead with it. So far, Obama's actions regarding his birth certificate seem to support the fraud theory.

...his (McCain) birth in a foreign (military setting) hospital

John Sidney McCain III was born at the Colon Hospital, a civilian hospital, located at Avenida Melendez and 2nd Street, Manzanillo Island, City of Colon, Republic of Panama.  The time of birth on the birth certificate issued by Panama Railroad Company (which owned the Colon Hospital) was 5:25 PM and the day and date of birth was Saturday, August 29, 1936.

McCain was not vetted by Congress. Here's what happened.
