CNN places eligibility in primetime spotlight

Anderson Cooper defends computer-generated 'COLB' May 07, 2010

Lt. Col. Terry Lakin is the highest-ranking active-duty officer to refuse to obey orders based on President Obama's eligibility.

CNN, one of the mainstream media outlets that have either belittled or ignored the question of Barack Obama's eligibility to be president since before the 2008 election, tonight gave the topic a primetime spotlight as Anderson Cooper defended the computer-generated online image of a Certificate of Live Birth that lists a 1961 Hawaii birth for the president.

Cooper dominated the combative interview, demanding answers from Lakin, telling his lawyer, Paul Rolf Jensen, to let his client answer and then forging ahead with his own arguments.

Lakin was able to explain that it is a constitutional issue that applies to the presidency.

"I submitted Article 138 [requests]," he said. "It was the only way I could research the issue. I was asking and begging my leadership for guidance on how to address this issue.

"It's fundamental to the Constitution. My oath of office is to the Constitution. I believe we need the truth on this matter," he said.

Cooper also cited the online "Certification of Live Birth" as proof of Obama's Hawaii birth. Jensen responded that the law in the state created opportunities for individuals to obtain the Hawaii records – Cooper kept referring to the "Certification" as a "Certificate" – without having been born in the state.

The COLB is "an official document," Cooper claimed.

"That is not correct," said Jensen.

Cooper also accused Lakin of following "false" information about Obama. Jensen urged Cooper to "tell the truth to your viewers."

Has anyone asked these neo-Marxist why Obozo refuses to release his REAL birth certificate?
Can any of them give a logical answer to that very basic and simple question?

I watched it. Anderson Cooper showed what a cover up looks like. Sooner or later the truth will come out about Obama
being born in Kenya, and since da-da’s not a citizen, there’s no way he can be a natural born citizen. We don’t know if his da-da is Barack Sr. or Frank Davis the Commie. Looks just like Frank Davis to me.

The truth about obammma will never come out(at least for 50 years)He's a democrat and as being that, he will be protected. Look how the media has treated all of the Republican Presidents vs the hiding or taking light of Democrat scandals.

Our nation has gone so far astray that the government calls people who ask for the truth “truthers” - a different kind of species and one to laugh at. Can divine judgement be far away?

Besides the obvious answer that he doesn't need to, you have to understand that the document he has released is a certified copy, which clearly shows the city of his birth. This has been confirmed as accurate by Hawaii's Republican Governor and the Department of Health.

Obama released the electronic copy, because that's what Hawaii now gives people, since they went completely electronic several years ago. For all intents and purposes, it is his "real" birth certificate.

Anderson Cooper, one of the most embarrasing children of our time.

Sorry, the OBVIOUS elephant in the middle of the room is Obama’s refusal to release the genuine article. not a computer generated doc produced in 2007 with no hospital or doctor that is NOT acceptable for basic legal requirements.

You guys are out early this morning—frantic little obots scurrying across the web in programmed damage control like good little ants.

What a joke you all are.

How can they court martial this man when the truth is not known about Obama?

...this whole birth certificate issue never would have come up if we knew more about Obama...his whole background is so shadowy that he arouses suspicion.

“This has been confirmed as accurate by Hawaii’s Republican Governor and the Department of Health.”

Close but no cigar.
The governor stated this week that she had never seen the real birth certificate.

To help you, this is what Obozo received, if he was born in a hospital in any state of the USA.
Also, there have been numerous reports that the “Certification” that Obozo has, can be obtained by people not born in Hawaii.

Why do Obozo’s puppet masters spend millions to hide this simple document?
We all know that he is an arrogant Ahole, but to continue the expensive obfuscation is going a bit far, don’t you think?

If it weren't acceptable for legal purposes, then the State of Hawaii wouldn't hand them out. Janice Okubo of the Hawaii Department of Health said the electronic document "contains all the information needed by all federal government agencies for transactions requiring a birth certificate" and that the U.S. Supreme Court recognizes it "as an official birth certificate meeting all federal and other requirements."

This is true. But they ignore the fact that the Certification of Live Birth clearly shows he was born in Hawaii, not a foreign country. Also, Dr. Fukino of the Department of health has said she has "seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen."

Surely you jest.
The COLB released is not the “vault” certificate. There is no hospital, doctor indicated. By Hawaii’s own laws, the COLB is not sufficient to establish native Hawaiian birth.
BO claims to have an original - folded - in his first book. Why not just produce it for examination by legit experts? Why spend millions to avoid the question?
I don’t know where or under what circumstances he was born nor do I care. I do care that he is hiding many aspects of his early years - he is not the person as advertised.

Hawaii has already fallen all over themselves in some very murky ways—their cred is sinking fast. They are scrambling by obvious executive dictate.Their claims that they have “SEEN” the docs when law prohibits this except by permission of the individual raises eyebrows.

Case after case on this board and others of individuals required to present their LONG FORM BCs for visas and all other legal requirements abound.
Our “unifying” pres should do the least, should he?

You are a non-thinking, preprogrammed talking-bot. Not a sentient being. Go home to your master.

My wife and I took a trip to Jamaica in 1990. I was told I would need to show a Birth Certificate for travel. I produced a Certificate of Live Birth thinking it was the same thing and found out otherwise. I was told something to the effect that it was not an official government document, only a certificate provided by the hospital.

Luckily I found this out a few days in advance and still had time to get an official Birth Certificate.

So the answer is NO, a COLB is not equal to a Birth Certificate.
