The Imposter at the Rostrum?
The New American ^ | January 26, 2011 | Sam Blumenfeld

Posted on 01/28/2011 11:13:18 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

On Tuesday, January 25, 2011, a man by the name of Barack Hussein Obama took his place at the rostrum before the two houses of Congress to deliver his State of the Union address. He was greeted by the members with smiles and great courtesy even though a growing number of Americans believe that he is not eligible to be President — an imposter.

Here is a man with the greatest power on Earth, who can order Air Force One to take him anywhere on the planet, who has spent the last two years transforming America — yet he will not reveal his birth certificate. What is he hiding? And why is the Congress of the United States willing to sit and listen to this man who may very well be the cleverest imposter who ever existed?

We know of men who have pretended to be medical doctors and surgeons, who have actually performed the duties of a physician before they were uncovered as frauds. Men such as that usually go to jail. Americans are a very trusting people, and we tend to believe what people tell us about themselves.

Yet, we have a Constitution that describes the qualifications of a President. Article II, Section I states: “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

Well, how do we know for sure that a candidate for the office of President was born in the United States? By his birth certificate. But no one in Congress or on the Supreme Court has ever seen Barack Obama’s original long-form birth certificate. Should he not have made it public when he sought the nomination for the presidency? Why was it not demanded of him by the proper authorities? Would his birth certificate actually reveal that he is not eligible to be President?

Is not the office of President important enough to require irrefutable proof of eligibility on the part of any candidate for that position of enormous power? He holds the fate of 300 million people in his hands. What if it is later determined that Obama is indeed an imposter — what then?

All of us, at some point in our lives, have to show our birth certificates to proper authorities, whether it’s to obtain a passport, or to be hired to a sensitive position in government or private industry, or to prove our citizenship. So why is Obama exempted from providing proof of his citizenship by birth? He is no ordinary American applying for a passport. He is the Commander in Chief of our armed forces, he lives in our presidential mansion known as the White House, and he had the entire Congress of the United States listening to his every word last night, even though he refuses to provide them with his birth certificate.

As a master imposter, he is also a master hypnotist. Otherwise, how could he convince everyone in Congress that he is the genuine article? What he said in his State of the Union address is irrelevant compared to the fact that he stood before the lawmakers of America and refused to prove that he is a citizen of the United States by birth. There should be no doubt in the minds of Americans that their President was indeed born in the United States and is eligible to hold that office. And as long as Obama refuses to show us his birth certificate, those doubts will persist.

Meanwhile, Hawaii's Governor, Neil Abercrombie, announced that he would dig up Obama’s Hawaiian long-form birth certificate in order to finally put an end to speculation about his eligibility to be President. However, it turns out the greatly frustrated Governor was unable to find any documentation. Apparently, there are no papers that name either the Hawaiian hospital in which Obama was born or the physician who attended his birth. And if such a doctor existed, would he not by now have identified himself?

Most likely, the eligibility issue will come up in the election of 2012. Obama will be forced to produce documentation that he is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States. And if he cannot come up with such documentation, then what?

As for his address, it was lackluster and boring, full of the usual clichés for which he is famous. He spoke a lot about education, proposing to replace No Child Left Behind with a Race to the Top. Thus, he expects the government to play an even bigger role in education, when the proper role for the federal government in education is no role at all. Education is not mentioned in the Constitution.

As for the country’s enormous debt, he expressed no sense of urgency about reducing it, offering only some minor spending cuts. He said nothing about inflation, which most people are concerned about. But he intends to oppose any attempts to repeal his healthcare program, even though the last thing our debt-ridden country needs is another costly entitlement program. He offered to help Republicans improve the program, not repeal it.

He’s obviously not in favor of smaller government. In fact, he advocated more government “investments” in clean energy technology, electric cars, more roads and bridges, more high-speed rail lines. He is still on the road to socialism, but pledged to work with Republicans in promoting “reform.” He will defend his agenda, but work with Republicans, he said. To what end? To prevent them from dismantling his socialist program. He doesn’t want smaller government — he wants more efficient big government.

He sounded remarkably like a clever, intelligent imposter trying to act like a legitimate President. But the speech was hollow. He is an excellent actor — which is what an imposter has to be. But a man without a birth certificate ought not to be President.

at which point he releases it and those of us who were

concerned and made it a campaign issue look like fools.

Wow! That is a cruel political joke! And...The American voter needs to be reminded of that. A sociopath would do this. Thankful we still have an Internet and it is possible to get that point out to relatives, friends, and neighbors.

LTC Lakin sits in prison and Major Cook lost his security clearance and job just so Obama can play a JOKE on his opponents? Only someone who pulls wings off flies would do that.

Obama misused tax paid attorneys all over the country to play a JOKE? He does this at a time when plots were being laid to bring down a plane over Detroit, blow up Times Square and a Pittsburgh marathon, and kill our soldiers on their bases and recruitment centers? Who would risk another 911 so they could make another American look foolish? Answer: a sociopath!

We need to attack him not just on this one front if it fails, but also on the conflict between his principles and our foundational institutions of the free market and a constitutionally limited government.

The Article 2/1 defenders are doing exactly that.

Wasn't 2010 proof enough that the Article 2/1 defenders can walk and chew gum at the same time? What is more **FUNDAMENTAL** to defending the Constitution than having a legitimate president?

Any school, street, library or park will have someone defacing the name. That is his albatross following him.

Very good point! The thought makes me sick.

I raised that exact issue the other day as an aside, as I don't remember anyone addressing it when related to Dear Leader's BC issue.

One would imagine that with such an important personage such as the President of the US, ANYONE even remotely associated with his ("immaculate?") birth would have come forward by now and PROUDLY proclaimed to the world they had been "present" for this greatest ("Second Coming?") event, be it doctor(s), nurse(s), aids, etc. not to mention "the" Hospital involved.

Someone correct if I missed it, but I dont' remember seeing/hearing/reading about ANY such information/person admitting same?

And Nancy Pelosi and Hillary can bunk together, too, at their women's corrective facility.

Look on the bright side. Obama performed a valuable service for America..

Reagan adverted to the fact that government is more often than not the problem and now we know that is true.

Obama proved it.

His greatest vulnerability may be the renaturalization issue. If he used Indonesian documents or claimed Indonesian citizenship, or adherence to Islam, in his college-loan documents, for instance, or used an Indonesian passport after he returned to Hawaii ......
......he's toast.

So people concerned about the COLB have to widen their scope to include the college records and the depositions and claims he supposedly made in his last-minute hearing in 2008 with Hawaiian election officials, in order not to be excluded from the general-election ballot.

After all, as with Nixon, it ain't the original infraction that gets 'em, it's the cover-up.

Even more important where are the friends, relatives, and neighbors who knew the mom and dad, visited in the hospital, brought over meals and gifts. It's as if the entire Dunham family lived in a complete vacuum.

There are still plenty of people still alive who knew my parents, visited my mom and me in the hospital, and welcomed us both home from the hospital.

I think the main points which should be empasized are (in this order):

1) He promised "transparency" (much like Pelosi and Reid).

What did we get instead? Obfuscation, sealing off of his past vital records -- not just his birth certificate, but school records from his childhood, health records, college records, writings from law school, his association with *cough* KNOWN DOMESTIC TERRORISTS like William Ayers. On the part of Pelosi and Reid, attempts to ramrod through changes to procedure, backroom deals and arm twisting, "you have to pass the bill to find out what's in it."

And why did Joe the Plumber (who was not running for office, and who did not seek out Obama to ply him with questions) have his personal records revealed to the whole world, while Obama is exempt? Remember how Obama won his Illinois Senate seat, when his opponents divorce records, though *sealed*, somehow were leaked to the world. "Privacy for me, but not for thee" is his motto.

2) One of the elements of the Watergate charges against Nixon was "lying to the American people." And like Nixon, the coverup is worse than the offense.

3) What is at issue here, is not "he wasn't born in this country" but instead "were both his parents US citizens, or was his father a foreign subject". As the old saying used by the government against private citizens goes, if you have nothing to hide, you won't mind us looking. This isn't like a traffic stop where a corrupt officer can plant drugs in the car; so, despite his admissions of narcotic usage in one of his autobiographies, Obama has nothing to fear.

4) Additional suspicions are raised by his apparent favors shown to Islam, passing Bush's oft-maligned "religion of peace" meme. From the ability to chant the call to prayer without an accent (and the declaration that it is the most beautiful sound on earth), to the quote "I will stand with them, should the political winds shift in an ugly direction"(*), to bowing to the Saudi King (Americans do NOT bow!), many of his actions speak a complete unawareness of American habit and sentiment.

5) The best way to refer to the birth certificate, I think, is on the grounds of hypocrisy as above, or on the grounds of overwhelming vanity. Several commentators have suggested that Obama suffers from narcissistic personality disorder. Is it to much to think that his birth certificate was flawed, and a stenographer's error or such marked him as Caucasian, or female, by mistake, and he is far too vain to suffer such a humiliating gaffe (even though made by others) to see the light of day? Why not release it and set everyone's mind at ease? What is worth millions of dollars and scads of lawyers, when for a mere $11.50 to the Hawaii Department of Vital Records, the whole issue could be set to rest? This is man who thinks nothing of a $250,000 date night in New York, of trips to Paris and Hawaii, of renting out entire luxury hotels in India. If all the vacations have drained your resources, just ask your friends the Saudi Royalty, or George Soros for a loan. I'm sure they'd be good for it.

6) Finally, I think it's time to come clean about why any and all talk of Obama being a natural-born citizen are hogwash, by definition. I'm surprised more people haven't noticed this and pointed it out.

Point 1, Obama is a lawyer.

Point 2, he went to an Ivy League law school. In fact, he was editor of the Harvard Law Review.

And as everyone knows, great lawyers aren't born...they hatch.





(*) It is true, this quote does not explicitly say "Muslims" but instead refers to Arab and Pakistani immigrants to America in the wake of 9-11. But think about it: in saying he will stand with them, isn't that hinting that he is proudly standing as one of them?

Cheers!

Somehow it’s appropriate that this fraud is now President. Most Americans are so very far removed form reality and live in some fantasy land.

Most Americans are so very far removed form reality and live in some fantasy land.

Most Americans are simply not paying attention. They are caught up in their everyday lives and occasionally when they happen across the evening news, or read a newspaper (other than the comics and the sports page) they get a dose of liberal drivel. They tune out.

In 1961 at the time of BO’s birth - active physicians/nurses/administrators would have been approx. 25-40 years’ old. Today, 50 years later, they would be 75-90 years’ old.

Hard to believe they are all dead.

"What is at issue here, is not 'he wasn't born in this country' but instead "were both his parents US citizens..."

Just for the record, who are his parents?
