As I said before, you don’t have to convince me.

He became President without releasing it. Why would he care what Beckwith (or all of FreeRepublic for that matter) thinks ?

He has zero reasons to release it, especially if it’s embarrassing or there’s a problem.

I believe getting worked up over this has become counter-productive. This will not have any effect on Obama.

Again, it is a shame that Palin Supporters do not respect her own statements, and wish to substitute THEIR opinion of what she should do for HER actions.

Palin EXPLICITLY stated that she has NEVER asked Obama for his BC, and has never questioned that he was born in America.

And in response to HER WORDS, you insist on putting words in her mouth that she has directly said she would NEVER say.

And yet you would probably be the first to scream if anybody ELSE questioned her judgement.

"But at no point – not during the campaign, and not during recent interviews – have I asked the president to produce his birth certificate or suggested that he was not born in the United States." -- Sarah Palin

"But she SHOULD have" -- missnry

Brilliant article by Joseph Farah over at WND and I totally agree.

I remain a proud birther and am ever so glad that Sarah keeps an open mind and is willing to demand at the very least appropriate documentation from ozero which ain't coming any time soon.

A little snip from Apuzzo’s site, if you go there he explains everything in detail in layman’s language:

Hence, if Obama was not born in the United States, under the Fourteenth Amendment he is neither a United States citizen by birth on United States soil nor one by naturalization. (There is no existing evidence that Obama was ever naturalized.) Nor would he qualify to be a United States citizen by any act of Congress by being born abroad to a United States citizen parent. If this scenario were proven to be true (being neither a born nor a naturalized citizen), it can be reasonably argued that Obama is an undocumented alien. Obama has refused to release his identify documents to the public which causes such theories to exist. It is this reason which shows the importance of the American people being able to access Obama’s records (birth certificate, travel, education, and employment records) to intelligently learn his exact citizenship status. Surely, the United States cannot have a possible undocumented alien be its President. People must keep pressing Obama that he releases his personal documents so that they may at least learn that the President is at least a “citizen of the United States” which again still does not make him an Article II “natural born Citizen.”

When he purjured himself by submitting false statements to different States claiming he is/was duly qualify???

You better read this again from a lead attorney's web site:

"Hence, if Obama was not born in the United States, under the Fourteenth Amendment he is neither a United States citizen by birth on United States soil nor one by naturalization. (There is no existing evidence that Obama was ever naturalized.) Nor would he qualify to be a United States citizen by any act of Congress by being born abroad to a United States citizen parent.

And you're good with that, huh? It's more that I don't see how more people can be convinced. If you can't convince more people about the BC, then the issue is a loser. cf the Tenth Amendment.

I don’t think he was just bowing to the Saudi, it sure looks like he kissed his hand to me. In the other 3, his legs are straight and he bows, with the Saudi it looks like he almost kneels and kisses his hand, and they all seem to be looking at something. Maybe that’s why Sarkozy is laughing.

Ok, what’s the legal basis for the status “Natural Born Citizen” in the US ?

Why would he ? The people who have problems with his BC are never going to vote for him anyways.

The one person who knows the entire truth about Obama and could bring him down is unfortunately Hillary.

As long as Obama and the Dems are giving her what she wants, she will keep her mouth closed just as she did during the election.

The Dems with their buddies in the media have made the eligibility issue so toxic to anyone who brings it up, she may not even be able to use it when she runs against Obama in 2012 (as most assume she will).

I doubt anyone else who was running this past election, including McCain’s camp, did anywhere near the digging Hillary and Co would have done. Pathetic situation, the one person who could bring Obama down we can’t trust anymore than Obama.

I wonder what it would take to get Hillary to open her big mouth?

Sarah’s playing politics here. And quite well it would seem. She throws the Trig BC back in their faces and turns the tables asking what’s the big deal, “I produced Trig’s”.

The libs, unwittingly gave her this oportunity - she’s using it. Can’t say as I blame her.

The Libs are claiming she has not produced Trig’s b/c. The witch from mudflats is spouting that line.

I hope she didn’t, Trig is a private citizen who is under no requirement to show he is a NBC to be his mothers son. Obama on the other hand.

What the left is missing is Palin’s shot across the bow to the media - if they could spend time looking into the birth of her son, they didn’t they spend time looking into Obama?

I’m not sure what your point is. Palin herself said the B/C issue was LEGITIMATE in her recent interview. The problem with the issue is that “BIRTHERS” and “TRUTHERS” get mixed into the same lump by the MSM. I cannot read Palin’s mind. She said the B/C issue was legitimate. She indicated that she believes Barry was born in the US. I can infer by her past statements that she is in the “TRUTHER” camp. In other words she does not believe Barry was born in Kenya BUT by stating that the issue is legitimate she acknowledges he is hiding his B/C for a very good reason.
