Keyes is making more and more sense.
Good article.
For quite awhile now I have come to believe there is something in the birth certificate he does not want people to see. There is no logical explanation to spend tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees to try to avoid this issue rather than spend the $10 to have it released to the public.

Some fact not otherwise known is being hidden from the public. It may have a bearing on the issue of his Constitutional eligibility to serve as President, or it may not. In either case, he is so concerned about its possible public impact that he would rather damage the perceived authority of the Constitution (a direct violation of his sworn duty as a public official of the United States) than let it be known.
It's hard to imagine anything contained in a birth certificate that would be matter for such personal embarrassment as to justify this dereliction of public duty. No sane person, and I think especially no right thinking American, would hold an infant responsible for the sins or views of his parents. But perhaps merely avoiding personal embarrassment is not the reason for his efforts to conceal.
Obama is probably a citizen, just not a "natural born citizen," since his reputed father was not a citizen, nor even a naturalized citizen. BHO, Sr. was merely, one hopes, a "legal resident alien."
I believe what he is hiding is the "Barry Soetoro" story. He may well have registered for college under that name, and claimed foreign status in order to qualify for some sort of benefit. That fraud alone would not wipe away his citizenship, nor would alter his fundamental lack of "Natural born Citizenship" but it sure would be embarrassing and illegal ... perhaps enough to have him disbarred if nothing else.
He even hid that "Barry Soetoro" identity from the Illinois Bar, upon applying for admission. Dr. Orly Taitz is now claiming that both POTUS and his mother have used different SS#s at different times. IF TRUE, we definitely have a whole 'nother problem.
So beyond bringing this up interminably and at boring length, what the Hell are we supposed to do about it? One avenue is to have as many state legislatures as possible pass laws requiring that state electoral boards certify presidential candidates' eligibility status in every regard, prior to giving any candidate the state's electoral votes.
I believe a drive in this direction will bear more fruit than the endless speculation about documentation POTUS DOES NOT HAVE TO PRESENT.
Think about it. If Biden possessed that document, he knows he’d be holding the keys to the oval office. We all know he’s always invisioned himself as the President. If he makes a joke of his true feelings, he can rationalize his words for the molification of his boss, et al. Keyes makes an interesting point here.
One possibility to hiding it would be that after such a great howl of protest would erupt he would then show his birth certificate. It is a normal birth certificate proving that he was born in Hawaii and then he would have the upper hand in not disclosing things in the future because a lot of his critics would be discredited from this.
I like the idea of states just passing laws that say any Presidential candidate would have to supply proof of citizenship in order to have his primary and general election votes certified. Face it, we’d still have Biden and Pelosi as the Pres and VP if Obama would step down. This way, in 4 years he would be forced to display his birth certificate or not run for another term.
That said; Obama has a window to insure his re-seating as President. He came dishonestly to power; and he will be as dihonest in his measures to hold to it.
PING
This issue is one of the reasson’s conservative talking heads on TV and radio have lost some creds with me.
They fail to address this issue in any way.
Think this could have held for a few months; but Obama has spent a great deal of money; and taken up valuable 'Court' time here - and continues to.
There is only one logical conclusion. Obama is hiding an untenable truth of his being a legitimate President. It also says a great deal that Obama, who 'knew' such; proceded nonetheless, to what he clearly believes is his 'entitlement'.
We already know that like most polititians Obama has twisted the truth and artfully lied in the past. There is a damn good reason for him to hide his BC and other records. It will come out and the sooner the better. Personally I belive the man is a fraud and will be exposed.
You don’t get flak unless you are over the target...
One thing which people are forgetting is the fact that prior to the election genealogists traced the faamily trees and discovered that Dick Cheney was a distant relative of Jr. There is in fact a grain of truth to Cheney perhaps having a copy of Jr’s birth certificate. As a poster upthread suggested, the Soetoro name would be a reason to hide the original, but this can be discounted because a certificate with Soetoro on it would be a re-issued one after his adoption when Ann re-married. Much as we would like to speculate about the reasons he is simply being an SOB by not allowing DOH in HI to release the original publicly.
I like the way you think...
