Just Who Made Obama's Birth Certificate an Issue?
American Thinker.com ^ | May 28, 2021 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 05/28/2021 4:48:13 AM PDT by Kaslin

In his controversial new book on the 2020 election, Battle For The Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaigns to Defeat Donald Trump. Edward-Isaac Dovere repeats a canard that has become something of a staple of Democratic mythology.

According to Dovere, in November 2020, then-president Barack Obama had a hard time making sense out of Hillary Clinton's loss "to a man he thought of as a moronic carnival barker." Dovere traced Obama's grudge against Donald Trump to the birth certificate issue.

Obama, writes Dovere, "would never forgive [Trump] for turning a fringe obsession with his birth certificate into an issue he'd had to address from the White House briefing room in 2011."

Dovere errs on several counts. Trump was not the one who turned the birth certificate into an issue. Obama was. Nor did Obama have to address the issue from the White House. He could have easily settled it in his attorney's office three years earlier. More importantly, perhaps, it was not the birth certificate that provoked Obama's wrath. It was Trump's ability to see Obama the same way Obama saw himself — as a fraud.

In the way of background, a week prior to the 2008 Democratic National Convention, attorney Philip Berg filed a federal suit in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania challenging Obama's constitutional eligibility to be president. A Democrat and former deputy attorney general for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Berg expected to be taken seriously. He wasn't. The media expressed zero interest in his suit.

I don’t know where Obama was born, but that birth certificate he posted was a rotten fake. I downloaded it and examined it in Illustrator where I could see the layers of how it was constructed and it was bizarre. No way that was a real birth certificate from 1961.

Whoever faked it may have been intentionally trolling, or just incompetent but I can’t believe the press swallowed it with no analysis whatsoever.

Exactly.

People need to get the facts straight.

The whole thing was part of the “politics of personal destruction” developed by the Clinton team. Carville, Stephanapolis, Blumethal and Hillary perfected this.

I am still pissed Trump didn’t take this matter head on. He could have easily ensures Obama was investigated for the crime.

Obama was registered at Occidental College and possibly at Columbia as a foreign exchange student. That was confirmed by the mailman who met Obama at Bill Ayers parents house.

It was so fraudulent, it seemed to be more of an "in your face" document, as if to say:

"Here. Here is your "birth certificate" you demand. It is a complete fake, and we made it such an apparent fake that anyone can see it. But you won't be able to do anything about it and Obama is going to be elected no matter what. What does that tell you about your precious Constitution and your so-called "Republic"? We will enjoy seeing you stew in that for a while."

“Whether FMD was or was not makes no difference”

Sorry, what is FMD? The most common Web reference seems to be Foot and Mouth Disease, but I have trouble connecting that with Obama’s eligibility.

My dad, who is in his 70s now, pointed out to me that no one used the term African-American when Obama was born. That term\phrase didn’t get made up until later. He would have had his race listed on the birth certificate as either Negro or Mullatto during the time frame listed as his DOB.

This article was a very good overview. Again, that name: Perkins Coie.

And that last paragraph in Cashill's article says it all:
"...Not to be a conspiracy theorist, mind you, but I would suggest that a firm capable of commissioning the Steele dossier would have no trouble dummying up a birth certificate. Just sayin'..."

Sounds very similar to what I say about the Communist Chinese: Any country that would murder tens or hundreds of millions of its own citizens for ideological purposes would have no problem with releasing a harmful biological agent into the world population for ideological purposes.

lifetime appointment as a shield does nothing when you are involved in other illegal or immoral activity that can be used to blackmail you. You can still lose things you value through such blackmail, and you can still be impeached and removed from your position for doing things that are illegal.

“Berg expected to be taken seriously. He wasn’t. The media expressed zero interest in his suit.”

It was the court, not the media that shut it down.

My initial inability to understand why did not take in to account that he was just being a dick.

I always thought he was reluctant because the BC either listed a different or no father, or it included race and it said white.

And the Dems started this with McCain’s birth in the Canal Zone Navy Hospital.

Just a small correction: They DID vote to impeach but voted along party lines to acquit.

Clinton wasn’t the first to be impeached nor acquitted. Historians look for firsts.

Obambam was the first prez candidate to submit forged birth documents towards eligibility.
