Donald Trump, a potential presidential candidate in 2012, has boldly asked the question the political and media elite refuse to ask: "Where's the birth certificate?"
As a result, more people are discovering the controversy over Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility every day. Therefore, it's a good time for a refresher course or primer on what this issue is all about.
First of all, it is an irrefutable fact, despite what you might hear and read from other sources, that Obama has never released his birth certificate to the press or the American people. In fact, he has steadfastly refused to do so.
The only document Obama has offered to suggest he is a natural-born citizen actually contradicts that suggestion. But, even worse, that document, the certification of live birth, the short-form certificate, is insufficient for purposes far less significant than establishing the constitutional eligibility for the presidency. For instance, try getting a passport with one. Try qualifying for Little League with one. Try getting a driver's license with one in most states. This is a digital document, subject to fraud, easy to obtain in Hawaii without a birth actually taking place, and the state of Hawaii has never even asserted that the document the Obama campaign released was an official Hawaiian document.
There is one other piece of so-called "evidence" cited by Obama acolytes: much-to-do-about-nothing newspaper birth announcements. Since those birth announcements would be triggered automatically by the Hawaii health department with the acceptance of an application for a certification of live birth, they are totally irrelevant insofar as corroborating evidence. They only indicate that someone in Hawaii applied for a certification of live birth, a document Hawaii handed out to people with no evidence of an actual birth having taken place.

There is only one reason why zERO has been getting a pass on this issue. Race.
I just read that a little while ago. It’s very good. I love the Zaphod Beeblebrox reference for an opening.
Thanks for your support FRiend !!
We are living through the biggest fraud and crime ever perpetrated in real time. Some can’t wrap their minds around that simple fact because it’s just too far outside their sphere of acceptable reality.
There is another.
Cowardice.
I never was one of those what some call “birthers” but my suspicions have
grown a lot since the beginning of this war in Libya. You may have
seen the video on YouTube where during the 2008 elections Qaddafi
practically endorsed Obama. Since then he had referred to him as his
“son”
This tells me that Qaddafi would have had enough interest in
this Obama guy to have studied his life to learn what he’s all about.
After all, he’s the President of the United States. Why would a
dictator such as Qaddafi not try to learn about the man in the White House?
A month before Obama started bombing Qaddafi - Obama requested an
increase to $1.7 million to give to Qaddafi for his military.
This was reported on Fox a few days ago.
Why such a request? Was Obama blackmailed about something?
We know Qaddafi has a lot of power in Africa. And we know that if
Obama was born in another country (because of his fame) surely that
country’s leader would already know that he’s the leader of the birth
country of Barack Obama.
As the leader of Libya Qaddafi can find things out from other nations’
leaders. Perhaps he got information about Obama’s birth certificate or
even a copy and he tried to blackmail Obama. Or maybe Obama simply
knows that Qadaffi knows something.
Why else would a nobel peace prize winner go to war? And do against
the will of his own VP which was just reported on sunday.
It’s just a theory that came to mind. Two strange things:
One, a man (not just a man but The President of the United States)
cannot find his birth certificate who also happens to have grown
up in other nations and mosques.
Two, a peace nick so peaceful that he wins a nobel peace prize before
he’d accomplished anything to earn it. Won the election on his
anti-war stance, promising to never go to war unless it’s in the
interest of our national security and he had the permission from
Congress, the UN, NATO and everybody else including Pope.
So peaceful he scared the heck out of Republicans.
Yet this same guy goes to war with Gadaffi against the will of Biden,
without going to Congress as he’d always promised and quite frankly
Vietnam was more justified. How is it this man could actually turn on a dime
so fast and coincidentally after requesting an increase of
foreign aid to Qaddafi himself a month before bombing him.
If Obama was born in another nation it’s guaranteed that nation’s
leader knows about it.
>There is another.
>Cowardice.

Yeah Chris, they're all go-along to get-along cowards.
Zer0 bamboozled millions... gave us the old 'okee doke.'
“I cannot answer the questions about why Hillary didn’t use this against him in the primary”
THe most likely reason that she didn’t use the issue is because she couldn’t get the documents either. In other words, she couldn’t prove anything and realized, probably correctly, that she would be labelled as a wing-nut (or worse - a “birther”).
They love Obama overseas (well at least until this war) as a token of pride if Obama were born in another country that President or King or whatever would know about right now.
Here in the US it’s more difficult for the government to know those things. We’re like 50 different governments. We’re unique that way. We’re probably the only nation that does not have a national ID card (at least one of the very few).
We depend on our city’s archives of birth certificates to prove we are citizens of the US. Our ID card is our drivers license. Not so, in other countries.
It’s easier than you think to get that information. You just have to know which country to start in. Perhaps he’s Canadian. Who knows.
“she would be labelled as a wing-nut (or worse - a “birther”)”
What is so nuts about being a birther?
I consider myself to be a birther, and I concentrate on only two theories.
1. Obama was not born in Hawaii, or
2. His father was not as reported, and not a US citizen.
What other reason would he have to keep the certificate
sequestered?
That right there is the bottom line.
