Former Hawaii election clerk: “Obama has no long form”

A video (audio with slides actually) has appeared on YouTube from a radio program called “Political Cesspool” hosted by James Edwards. Edwards’ guest is identified as Tim Adams “Chief Election Clerk” from the city and county of Honolulu, Hawaii during the 2008 presidential election.

It’s bad enough that a man named Ako Abdul-Samad is actually an elected state representative in Iowa.

Just a sample quote from the show’s host Edwards, who also carries this quote on his web page:

James Edwards is becoming a very important force in the movement for White advocacy. He hosts the The Political Cesspool, a weekly 3-hour radio show where he interviews a view range of personalities on their ideas (including me on more than one occasion). And he has become a director of the American Third Position, a political party that aims makes an explicit appeal to White identity and White interests.

In the video, Adams says of the elections staff in Honolulu “in our professional opinion Barack Obama was not born in the United States and there is no Hawaii long form birth certificate.” Adams claims that he (or at least someone in his office) had access to Social Security and NCIS [sic] systems that they “used on average voters” to verify eligibility to vote.

What Adams actually saw (if anything) is left to our imagination. He never says what he found or failed to find on any database that led him to his “professional” opinion that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Indeed if you listen carefully he doesn’t claim that anything he found in those databases is the basis of his conclusion, or how a temporary worker gets to claim a “professional opinion.”

I contacted the City Clerk’s office in Honolulu, the office that oversees the Elections Division. They did indeed have a Tim Adams who worked as a clerk there (I understand from another source that he was a “senior clerk” and not “chief clerk”) but I was assured that that office had no access to state birth records.

Since President Obama was not a resident  of Hawaii in 2008, there is no legitimate reason for election workers to be poking around in federal databases for information on him. That means that if they did look, they are guilty of a federal crime. Oops.

    I checked and found no such title as “Chief Elections Clerk” in elections office, also no electional official has access to BC records, so this is bull pupu.

    Hawaii elections clerk: Obama birth not here, Official who oversaw ballots in 2008 race says hospital birth certificate non-existent.

    A college professor who worked as a senior elections clerk for the City and County of Honolulu in 2008 is making the stunning claim Barack Obama was definitely not born in Hawaii as the White House maintains, and that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Obama does not even exist in the Aloha State.

    WND confirmed with Hawaiian officials that Adams was indeed working in their election offices during the last presidential election.

    “His title was senior elections clerk in 2008,” said Glen Takahashi, elections administrator for the City and County of Honolulu.

    Takahashi also confirmed Adams’ time frame at the office from spring until the month of August.

    “We hire temporary workers, because we’re seasonal,” he said.

    http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=165041

    “Of course we know that Barack Obama has a Hawaiian birth certificate, the state says so.” That is too funny! Guess that makes it so! LMAO

    By the way, Tim Adams is a Hillary Clinton supporter! ROFLMAO

    Here comes the spin, in…… 3…….2………1………SPIN!

  5. Kevin Bellas says:

    Yeah, I’ll call it funny when in the same WND articles Glen Takahashi while admitting that they did have a Tim Adams as a temp, Also stated this.

    “However, when WND asked Takahashi if the elections office could check on birth records, he said, “We don’t have access to that kind of records. [There’s] no access to birth records.”

    Adams responded, “They may say, ‘We don’t have access to that.’ The regular workers don’t, the ones processing ballots; but the people in administration do. I was the one overseeing the work of the people doing the balloting.”

    Adams stressed, “In my professional opinion, [Obama] definitely was not born in Hawaii. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he was not born in Hawaii because there is no legal record of him being born there. If someone called and asked about it, I could not tell them that person was born in the state.”

    Isn’t it funny that WND made Tim Adams look even more like a liar.

  6. James says:

    Great article by WND. Could this Tim Adams be the DeepThroat that Phil Berg has been always hoping for? They need get Tim Adams to LTC Terry Lakin and determine what he knows. However, the Adam’s story does make some sense since we have NEVER seen Obama’s long-form BC. As Phil Berg has always contended, if Obama does indeed have a long-form BC, we would have seen it by now. Indeed, the State of Hawaii is lying we they say they have Obama’s original vital records. Most take the orginal vital records to be the long-form BC. I think it is safe to assume that the State does not have the long-form BC of Obama or we would seen it by now and it remains in question on just what the original vital record really is.

    Haha WND confirmed. World Nut Daily doesn’t confirm jack shit. I wrote their editor one time on a story they did during the Schiavo episode. They claimed a granddaughter was starving her grandmother and trying to pull her feeding tube too. Instead of doing investigative work they instead talked to one person, the person who just so happened was in the midst of a custody battle. The granddaughter had been taken care of by the granddaughter for years, she was being fed and she only recently needed a feeding tube because she stopped being able to swallow. The guy suing was never in the life of the grandmother but suddenly wanted in. Instead of a retraction WND just changed the headline.

    Oh so now its Senior Elections Clerk instead of “Chief Elections Clerk” Adams story keeps changing.

    First off, he’s not a professor, he’s a student.

    Secondly, he was a temp, that never states he had access to Obama’s vital records (and I highly doubt that any state would let a bunch of temp workers rummage freely through records). Access to a bunch of databases, but not to any birth certificates. And he never says he even looked up anything on Obama. And then he makes a hearsay comment we’re supposed to believe?

    Wow…I can see why you’d take the hearsay statement of a temp worker, that he never confrimed, with no access to Hawaii’s vital records over the Republican governor and head of DoH. Do you folks even think before you jump on every new unsubstantiated claim? There is a reason why everyone laughs at birthers. You jump behind every yahoo making a statement that supports your predetermined world view without thinking critically about it.

    Dr. Kenneth Noisewater (Bob Ross): Hawaii doesn’t require long form.

    Hawaii doesn’t require a long form for what?

    When did Hawaii start controlling the State Department?

    If perhaps you meant to say the State Department doesn’t require long-forms from Hawaii, then please state why you believe that. Please explain why they require long-forms from some states and not others?

    If it were because, as Dr. C. states – because border states present unusual circumstances – you don’t think Hawaii would present any unusual circumstances? The state had just recently been admitted to the Union in 1961 (which is the year we are concerned about) and last time I checked Hawaii was just sitting out there by its lonesome with no shared borders at all. Yes….I can definitely see why the State Dept might think Texas needed to supply long-forms for passports while Hawaii needn’t bother – NOT.

    No, Hawaii does not present any issues. Hawaii was not the wild west of no government or adminstrative offices when it became a state in 1959. Hawaii had been a US territory since 1898 (and was an independant nation before that). Hawaii had a very long history of self administration. There is no reason to think becoming a state change anything on the local level.

    And Hawaii is dfferent from Texas and California for exactly the reasons you state. It’s in the middle of no where. The problems faced with Texas and California was that there were illegal aliens coming in, and going to irreputable mid-wives (some who were later convicted of fraud), and making bogus birth certificates claiming birth in the US for Mexican born babies. Last time I checked, not very many illegals are sneaking across the ocean to slip into Hawaii.

    Long forms are no longer required to prove citizenship for official IDs, passports, state licenses, etc. The COLB is prima facie. This has been explained to you over and over again.

    Hawaii isn’t a border state. So far the only thing you have to go off of is that 2 states recently changed from accepting a COLB to long form. Before that they used short form COLBs. You also have the other 48 states to contend with.

    You must think Hawaii was a savage, unsophisticated place before the United States came along.

    Finally, that Tim Adams of the non-existent title appears to be a graduate student goes along with him being a temp. He probably needed extra money and worked for about $8/hour, tops.

    *sigh* I have already responded to this on another thread. I will summarise my previous statements as follows:
    1. Hawaii is geographically isolated not only from the mainland US, but also from foreign countries such that any person arriving does so on plane or ship, making is fairly easy to know who is arriving. Thus, there are no concerns about a border between Hawaii and a foreign state as there are about the border between Texas and Mexico.
    2. Your concerns about Hawaii’s supposed problems as a “new state” assume that Hawaii Territory did not create an adequate birth registration system for the State of Hawaii to inherit and that the State of Hawaii had a lax registration system in 1961. Unless you can show some evidence for this, then Hawaii being a new state was irrelevant.
    3. The problems with Texas are based upon documented evidence of actual fraud by particular midwives affecting a number of birth registrations. Unless you can show that similar fraud has occurred in Hawaii, then your assumptions about Hawaiian certificates and State Department treatment of them are not reasonable.

    The Anit-Defamation League has an interesting article about James Edwards and his radio show, Political Cesspool:

    a Memphis, Tennessee-based AM and Internet radio show on which anti-Semites, white supremacists, and other right-wing extremists regularly appear to voice their views… Show sponsors include the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens and the Institute for Historical Review, a Holocaust denial organization.

    It goes on at some length in this vein.

    I just can’t get over Taitz making common cause with these anti-Semites. She has a rare gift for not knowing things she doesn’t want to know.

  40. Scientist says:

    Dave: I just can’t get over Taitz making common cause with these anti-Semites.

    Are we sure Taitz is actually Jewish? There were non-Jews (some of distant jewish ancestry, some not) in the former Soviet Union who claimed to be Jewish because it facilitated emigration. I know her husband is a native Israeli, so I guess he is, but I’m not so sure about her.

  41. Jules says:

    Scientist:
    There were non-Jews (some of distant jewish ancestry, some not) in the former Soviet Union who claimed to be Jewish because it facilitated emigration.

    The Law of Return allows oleh visas to be granted to those whose parents or grandparents are Jewish, even if they are not Jewish themselves. Thus, not all non-Jews would be claiming to be Jewish.

    Some of the people who wouldn’t be Jewish for the purpose of the Law of Return may rightly consider themselves Jewish even though they have to apply as non-Jewish children or grandchildren of a Jew. The Law of Return uses the Orthodox definition as to who is a Jew so as to require that someone who is not a convert have a Jewish mother. American Reform Judaism, meanwhile, normally regards any child of a Jew who is raised Jewish to be a Jew. Furthermore, my understanding is that the USSR normally viewed ethnicity along patrilineal lines and considered those with Jewish fathers to be Jewish.

    Dave: I just can’t get over Taitz making common cause with these anti-Semites. She has a rare gift for not knowing things she doesn’t want to know.

    After a life of mediocrity, Orly is basking in the birther limelight. Rather than merely being a dentist who got a mail order law degree to save money on her malpractice suits, she has now become, “Orly, constitutional attorney, defender of our liberties.”

    I really don’t know if she’s suffering from some personality disorder, her ego can’t bear the idea of no longer being in the limelight, and will jump on anything that she thinks can be the basis of another suit, or she’s really as delusional as she appears. Either way, she has established a track record of swallowing anything that possibly supports her theories, and doesn’t care where it comes from (we all remember that picture of the Kenyan birth certificate she ran over to the court without wasting a second to attempt to confirm anything about it).

  43. Paul Pieniezny says:

    Scientist: Are we sure Taitz is actually Jewish? There were non-Jews (some of distant jewish ancestry, some not) in the former Soviet Union who claimed to be Jewish because it facilitated emigration. I know her husband is a native Israeli, so I guess he is, but I’m not so sure about her.

    He’s not native Israeli, he’s a Jew born in Latvia. Probably left the Soviet Union much earlier than Orly and went straight to the USA, Orly at least went to Israel (and of course Romania) before going to the USA.

    I am sure they speak Russian at home – it is almost inconceivable for someone who left the Soviet Union more than twenty years ago, spent almost her whole adult life outside the Soviet Union and lived for such a long time in the United States to speak such good Russian and such bad English – unless they continue to speak Russian at home.

    The only issue I have found with Orly being Jewish is the fact that on one of her wedding papers in Vegas she was claimed by someone to have written “Auerbuch” as her maiden name. The one who noted this, thought it was another typical Orleyan slip of the pen; the point is that it means Orly was aware of the German spelling her maiden name – while the normal English transcription of the Russian version of that name is “Averbukh”. Now, Averbukh is a name that also occurs among Russians of German descent,so it is not a markedly Jewish name, unlike “Taitz”, which though etymologically Slavic (it means something which is secret), is a Russian Jewish family name.

    But you are right, there were people you could call fakers. In the Soviet Union, at birth ethnicity by default depended on the mother. When you got your first passport, you could switch that to the father’s ethnicity or the/a dominant ethnic group in the republic you were then living at. Switching to Russian was very common among half-Jews in the Soviet Union, but “now and then” such people remembered that they were really Jewish. There are no indications that this was also the case with the Averbukhs,

  44. Dave says:

    Scientist:
    Are we sure Taitz is actually Jewish?

    This strikes me as an odd question. I have no information to suggest she isn’t, but anyhow it’s beside the point. Having wasted way too much time reading her blog, I know she is extremely pro-Israel, of the “Israel can do no wrong” variety. And she posts everything she can find criticizing the President for being insufficiently pro-Israel (and none of the criticism he gets for being too pro-Israel).

    So it’s hard for me to understand her making buddies out of anybody so anti-Israel as a Holocaust denier.

The state had just recently been admitted to the Union in 1961 (which is the year we are concerned about) and last time I checked Hawaii was just sitting out there by its lonesome with no shared borders at all. Yes….I can definitely see why the State Dept might think Texas needed to supply long-forms for passports while Hawaii needn’t bother – NOT.

    Again, you post nothing but wrong information, “Scott Brown” aka “Sally Hill”.

    First of all, Hawaii became a state on August 21, 1959. So you are off by a few years there. As others have already pointed out, it officially became a U.S. territory via annexation way back in 1898.

    Second – the whole point of HI being isolated and way in the middle of the Pacific ocean is that it is hard to get to – only by plane or boat. Therefore, it obviously doesn’t have land border crossing issues with Mexico, like TX & CA do. So your whole analogy is completely backwards.

    if anything, HI would be one of the hardest places for anyone to smuggle themselves into or infiltrate without their travel there being easily tracked or documented. *duh*

    Third, HI has clearly stated that for well over a decade, the official form they issue & use for birth certificates is the COLB! There is nothing you have said that can get around this basic, hard core proof and fact. End of Story!

    Therefore, your whole “unusual circumstances” trope is just another mudslinging false accusation and another failed one of your birther misinformation tactics.

    TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT FINDINGS.

    Important research finding (by Lucas Smith) for serious researchers and investigator of President Obama’s Kenya birth in Mombasa, British Protectorate of Kenya.

    Some skeptics have called into question the name of the “Supervisor of Obstetrics” listed on the British Protectorate of Kenya, Mombasa, hospital birth certificate of President Barack Hussien Obama.

    The name listed in “John Kwame Odongo”. Many skeptics (all of which lack any first hand knowledge of Africa or East Africa) have questioned the name “Kwame”. The skeptics claim that a Kenya would never give their son a “Ghanaian” name such as “Kwame”.

    InspectorSmith (14 hours ago)
    Spam Marked as spam
    I (Lucas Smith) have in the past delivered several explanation of the name “John Kwame Odongo”. My explanations in the past more than sufficed in squashing wild claims that no Kenya would be allowed such a name.

    Now, through recent investigation, I present an even greater piece of evidence that has been in right in front of our noses as early as January, 2010 (and really for many many many years)…………..

    InspectorSmith (14 hours ago)
    Spam Marked as spam
    This piece of evidence comes from US President Barack Hussein Obama’s half brother in Kenya, “George Hussein Obama”, in his 2010 published book, “Homeland: An Extraordinary Story of Hope and Survival”.

    I, Lucas Smith, have been reading George Hussein Obama’s book for the last 2 days now.

    Page 81:

    “It was my second name, and there was something exotic and different about it that I liked. Again, it was difference that drew me. There were plenty of Georges at school, but no other Husseins. It wasn’t a regular Kenyan name, that was for sure. In fact the only guy I’d ever heard of called Hussein was Saddam Hussein, so maybe it hailed from Iraq.”

    InspectorSmith (14 hours ago)
    Spam Marked as spam
    There you have it in the words of President Obama’s own brother in Kenya. Both President Obama and his borther’s second name, “HUSSEIN”, is NOT a Kenyan name, and is certainly NOT a tribal name for the Luo tribe or any other tribe in East Africa.

    So the skeptics want us all to believe that John “Kwame” Odongo’s second name is impossible.

    Yet these same skeptics have no problem with George “Hussein” Obama and Barack “Hussein” Obama I and Barack Hussein Obama II.

    I think that nothing’s more telling about Smith’s veracity than his preoccupation with justifying the minutiae of his document.

    If I were claiming that I’d obtained a secret document from a foreign country, and my critics were attacking its authenticity, I wouldn’t focus on countering the nitpicks with online resources.

    For one thing, I’d actually prove I was in that foreign country when I said I was. I’d share a plane ticket, some receipts, and/or photos of me at the foreign location. But Lucas has been spinning his tale for a year, and has yet to produce a single scrap of evidence that he’s ever so much as stepped foot in Kenya.

    Those are some curious priorities.

    Boy, these folks really have the intellect of silly putty, don’t they! I mean really, who on this planet didn’t understand that Hussein is an Islamic based name and that it came from the issue of religion and not from tribal origin.

    For the same reason, Lucas is barking up the wrong tree, trying to equate that lame bit of trivia with his apples to origin comparison of the national/tribal origins of the name Kwame.

Then he skipped to this article then got mad when I pointed out the article originated on Stormfront and then when I confronted him and asked why he is posting an article that originated from a White Supremecist group he got upset. I asked now what reason would a white supremecist group have for trying to delegitimize a black president. He then tried to claim I was calling him racist when I was questioning his source.

    Aww well my comment is in moderation at freeperville. I just love his title for the thread (assistance needed vanity)

    Here’s what I said doubt it will get through moderation:

    “Commander” Why don’t you tell the truth? I didn’t play the race card. I said the article you posted originated from Stormfront. Which is why that article was removed from this very site already. Freerepublic already made it a point not to be associated with such a racist site as Stormfront. I didn’t call you a racist. I said the source came from a white supremacist site. If you did your research instead of asking people on Freerepublic to do it for you. You would have known that. Now removing me was cowardly since you’re the one who originally sent me the facebook request. What’s this crap about public school brainwashing? We went to the same public school.

    Here is what I actually said to Commander: “[name deleted] ****** ****** I predicted you would jump on this wnd piece which by the way comes from Stormfront. You know them? The white supremacist site. Now tell me why white supremacists would want to discredit a black president? WND is not a credible site. I’ve written the editor several times regarding articles and instead of a retraction … See Morethey just changed the headline. Mr Adams is a student who was a temp in the elections department. He originally claimed he was Chief Elections Clerk except there’s no such thing, now he’s a senior elections clerk. A temp would not be given responsibility and if you pay attention the article he does not say he had access to the necessary documents. Why do you jump on articles without checking their veracity? The COLB is a valid document issues by Hawaiian officials and vouched by the Hawaiian DOH”

    Then you accused me of calling you racist and a drug addled fool. Now I don’t know where you learned to debate but obviously it wasn’t in our classes because we were taught civility and not to insult the other side when you can’t win.

    Good finds, Bob, thanks! I took a look through both of them.

    Well, hillarynme.com is definitely a super sad-sack PUMA birther site, that’s for sure. However, just because birther Sally Hill (aka Scott Brown) posted that one comment there (that has been found so far), that is not enough evidence yet for me to conclude she was a PUMA herself. I’m sure more such evidence will turn up. My suspicion, based only on recollection, is that she did frequent PUMA sites, but I’ll still leave that as only my suspicion based on the evidence to date.

    The other site you linked to for the Phoenix News times, was not a PUMA site, but was an excellent article in and of itself, about a huge birther smack down by a local conservative fill-in talk show host. I recommend to everyone reading that article over there. Good entertaining stuff! And excellent commentary by “lawdog” in the comments section.

    However, despite all her protestations otherwise, your two findings in this post alone (along with the other sites you already provided) is conclusive proof that “Scott Brown” aka “Sally Hill” is definitely a full-on hard-core birther and has been for some time.

    As you mentioned, in these two posts, she very much concedes that Obama is born in HI and that the COLB doesn’t matter. Those arguments are clearly of the pure “Vattel” dual-allegiance birther persuasion. So, I suspect she was a D’Onofrio acolyte from how they read.

    What is interesting is how she was quite adamant that Obama is an Usurper no matter what and that she also went off on some sort of bizarre Kenya/Sharia Law tanget in some weird made up story she tries to tie to Obama. Just further confirmation that she is hard-core birther, only posing as a concern troll, but with her mind solidly determined to find him an “usurper” no matter what.

    So, as you also pointed out, it makes all of her statements here asking for details about the HI COLB even more suspect and suspicious. If she claims that she “believes” he was born in HI and her arguments are that his place of birth doesn’t matter, than why does she bother or care about all these questions she makes over here about the COLB? A very inconsistent position, indeed. Of course, we know that she really doesn’t care about answers to any of these issues. Her whole agenda is to spread the birther lies and try to sow doubt about purely legitimate things.

    For those who are interested about what we’re referring to, here are her own words from those sources (listed in order, as per the links above):

    #5 by Sally Hill on July 23rd, 2009

    Bottom line – it makes NO DIFFERENCE where Obama was born. What matters is the citizenship of his parents. 1 was a US Citizen and 1 was a British Subject – giving Obama dual-citizenship AT BIRTH, making him ineligible to legally be POTUS. He is an usurper. Period – End of Argument!

    Friday, Aug. 7 2009 @ 8:54AM

    Sally HIll says:
    No BC is necessary.
    Obama said he was born in Hawaii – and I believe him.
    Obama said he was born with governance by British Law – and I believe him.
    Obama stated in a speech that he is a Citizen of the World – and I believe him.
    How can a self-proclaimed Citizen of the World (one who pledges NO allegience to ANY nation) governed at birth by British Law, be a natural born citizen of the US?

    Some say his British citizenship expired on his 21st birthday…but that SHOULDN’T have to happen…there should be NO doubt as to his citizenship at birth or at age 21. If he was a natural born citizen there would be NO other citizenship than that of US citizenship.

    You can poopoo this issue and say – he is as American and you and I. But then, my response to that is…I’ve never travelled to Kenya (the land of his father) to campaign for a paternal relative who happens to believe in Sharia Law. I wouldn’t do that, because as a Natural Born Citizen, both my maternal and paternal parents are US Citizens – so my allegience is simple and without question – United States.
    You can poopoo this issue and say – well, he wasn’t acting out of loyalty to his father. But then my response to that is….perhaps then he believes in the very Un-American ideal of Sharia Law as evidenced by his appointment of Harold Koh as a legal advisor. Koh not only believes in Sharia Law, but also the very Un-American ideal of TRansnationalism. If you don’t REALLY know what these terms mean – I would invite you to look them up.
    So….can be we 100% certain, given not only the facts (Kenyan father), confession (Citizen of the World) and Obama’s own actions (travelling to Kenyna) that he has one and only one allegience – that of the United States?
    The unfortunate answer to that is no. He may be as American as Apple Pie and as pure as the driven snow – but by his own heritage, words, and actions we have no way to know that 100%.
    I believe Obama – do you?

  77. richCares says:

    Let me get this straight, Stormfront highlights a racist bigot that claims he worked as Chief of Elections in Hawaii and has proof that Obama was not born in Hawaii and Dragging Canoe falls for it. During Tim’s temp work on elections he had no access to voting records of Obama who was voting in Chicago at the time (and most likely never registered in Hawaii). The Elections Office has no access to birth information records or voting records from Chicago. Many voters in Hawaii were not born in Hawaii (me for example). How quickly birthers fall for such a shaky story is really amazing. Dr. C, please put up a paypal button so we can take advantage of these suckers.

  78. Dr. Kenneth Noisewater (Bob Ross) says:

    James: Great article by WND.Could this Tim Adams be the DeepThroat that Phil Berg has been always hoping for?They need get Tim Adams to LTC Terry Lakin and determine what he knows.However, the Adam’s story does make some sense since we have NEVER seen Obama’s long-form BC.As Phil Berg has always contended, if Obama does indeed have a long-form BC, we would have seen it by now.Indeed, the State of Hawaii is lying we they say they have Obama’s original vital records.Most take the orginal vital records to be the long-form BC.I think it is safe to assume that the State does not have the long-form BC of Obama or we would seen it by now and it remains in question on just what the original vital record really is.

    DraggingCanoe: Since when does making $8 an hour make one not a “good or credible source”.

    Well, as others have said, they usually don’t get access to sensitive information

    And I suppose you can add to it, he never claims to have had access to vital records

    And did I forget to mention, he never claims to have looked at any of President Obama’s records

    Oh…and he never claims anyone in his office had access to President Obama’s vital records

    And finally, the source of his knowledge on this subject is hearsay.

    Then, of course, you his WND interview, and see him repeat just about every disproven birther claim….and well…if you really are gulible enough to belive it…perhaps you should be working as a temp for $8 an hour somewhere.

As someone who marched into a Social Security office with a power of attorney and my father’s birth certificate to get a bad date of birth fixed, only to be met with a stone wall of silence and as some whom has actually worked on electronic interfaces to Social Security, I can tell you that nobody in a county or municipal government office is going to get access to browse the “Social Security system.” The best anybody gets is verification: you send them a Social Security number, a name and a date of birth, and they say Yes or No. And they don’t give you many guesses. Nobody is going to type in Obama’s name and find out whether he has a birth certificate in Hawaii or not.

    Dear Dragging Ass

    To re-iterate the above,

    $8 per hour denotes not a level of capacity, expertise or capability but a fundamental one of access.

    As an Info Sec Professional I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that temp, seasonal checkers of data have very very very limited acccess to core data.

    Using the generic principles of CIA (not spooky Industrial-Military Combine spy agency but Confidentiality, Integrity and Availibility) a temp, non background checked checklist muppet has next to zero access.

    What ACTUALLY happens is they will be given access to a consolidated front end that will (on their behalf) interrogate various databases and print out a Go/No Go that has to be referred to an individual further up the management stack. They (permanent members of management) will then request further investigation which again will be masked such that PII (personally identifiable Information) will be interrogated without the underlying data beinmg directly exposed.

    As an example

    “Boss….I had they system kick back Bubba Jones the 3rd as a possible non resident”

    “Really Sally? Put the request to review into my queue and I’ll check”

    “Run check “Bubba Jones the 3rd” and/or “Bubba Jones 3rd” and/or “Bubba Jones III” and/or “Bubba**Jones*”

    “bugger that’s a long report”

    “Based on result + address + Electoral Register Record = 1”

    “Vote + Good”

    At no point has the checker had access to the raw data, the QUERY has, in a read only fashion checked the data”

You know them? The white supremacist site. Now tell me why white supremacists would want to discredit a black president? WND is not a credible site. I’ve written the editor several times regarding articles and instead of a retraction … See Morethey just changed the headline. Mr Adams is a student who was a temp in the elections department. He originally claimed he was Chief Elections Clerk except there’s no such thing, now he’s a senior elections clerk. A temp would not be given responsibility and if you pay attention the article he does not say he had access to the necessary documents. Why do you jump on articles without checking their veracity? The COLB is a valid document issues by Hawaiian officials and vouched by the Hawaiian DOH”Then you accused me of calling you racist and a drug addled fool.Now I don’t know where you learned to debate but obviously it wasn’t in our classes because we were taught civility and not to insult the other side when you can’t win.

    Some of the other organisations sponsoring the Political Cesspol appear to be similarly racist. The League of American Patriots, for example, restricts its membership to “adult heterosexual men and women who are entirely of European Christian ancestry”.

    The Political Cesspool’s own statement of principles expresses the desire to “to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races”.

    I have thoroughly debunked the born in Kenya scenario.

    Denialists love to throw around the age requirement in 1961, and that Ann Dunham did not meet it. In fact, Obama Sr was married to a village woman, so his marriage to Ann was invalid – thus making the age requirement moot. So yes, Obama is NBC no matter where in the world he was born. The requirement is NBC, not born on US soil.

    Just curious – I’m sure you probably are familiar with some of the CISSP’s out here in Ohio? The CISSP community, at least out here, is fairly “tight”, particularly as they’ve really shrunk in numbers, due to the impact of the recession. Many of the CISSPs here have had to leave the state, unfortunately, to find work. It is a sad situation.

    Because she was not married, giving birth anywhere in the world makes her child NBC. The age/years requirement is moot in out of wedlock birth. So the argument advanced by Berg is nullified.

    Well, it depends on the laws of the various jurisdictions. Many (most?) states consider the children of a marriage voided on grounds of polygamy to be, nonetheless, legitimate as if they were born in a legitimate marriage.

    I have it on good authority that Barack Obama was not foreign born. But when you use the phrase “more effectively challenged”, it reminds me of a word game I played once. It started with the word “neutral” and then we took turns coming up with slightly more negative words. It was an interesting game, and the word that won, by mutual agreement, was “abysmal”. Comparing the effectiveness of the current eligibility challenge cases with the hypothetical one you mentioned and calling one “more effective” is comparing “abysmal” with the runner up in my game.

  133. Scientist says:

    yguy: That suggests a motive for lying about his birthplace,

    Actually there is every motive for a candidate to be truthful about his birthplace. John McCain admitted he was not born in the US and won the Republican primary easily and did as well in the general election as any Republican could have expected to in 2008. For all that some claim to care, there is no evidence from the polls that the voters ever took much interest in where either McCain or Obama was born. On the other hand, being caught in an obvious lie would likely hurt a candidate quite significantly.

    I know one gay couple who have been together almost 30 years, of their own volition. That’s better than most straight couples.

  147. yguy: he [Obama] would still be the first candidate ever to qualify under the NBC clause by reason of illegitimate birth, AFAIK. That wouldn’t play nearly as well in Peoria as being Hawaiian born.

    Very good point! Such a thing would definitely have lost Obama the right-wing evangelical Christians vote. 👿

    What, both of them?

  149. yguy says:

    Bovril: Peoria was fully aware of Obama’s family background, fathers status etc via press,

    I don’t know who the hell you think you’re kidding, since no less a personage than Tom Brokaw declared just a few days before the election that we didn’t know much about him – which of course was no accident, since the establishment media had no greater purpose than to cast him in the best possible light.

    Based on your own words you now accept that Obama is a full NBC

    As usual, your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired.

  150. Scientist says:

    yguy-Let’s see the polling data that shows that the voters care whether a candidate’s parents were married. Surely you wouldn’t come here making assertions unsupported by facts, would you?

  151. Bovril says:

    As usual ypou have failed to provide a shred of ACTUAL evidence to support any of your theses.

    I see you have, as always yet to actually answer my points, simply making ad-hominem attacks and inserting irrelevant and unsubstantiated cack.

    Come monkey dance, show us a fact, related to this, come on you can, can’t you…?

    You know….case law, relevant cites, SC rulings, statutes in force….. ANYTHING….

    aarrgghh:
    your comment is now live.

    So I went back to check and sure enough in true form my post has been removed from Freeperland and I have been banned from posting. So after a whole one post where I called someone out I get banned from there. Funny. Also I find it entertaining when I’m debating someone who is not orly taitz and I called her bat**** insane somehow that’s not being civil to the other person I’m debating. Too funny

  153. James says:

    In recent days, due to Tim Adam’s claim, these statutes might explain what happen. We now know that there is no long-form BC (hospital BC) for Obama according to Tim Adams. Tim Adams has also said that others know exactly what he knows (or was told) but are not coming forward for fear of losing their jobs. If Obama had a long-form BC WE WOULD HAVE SEE BY NOW. In a recent interview, I think a statement from Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely puts its best:

    “There is no proof that I’ve seen that he was born in Honolulu, because the copy of the alleged birth record certainly doesn’t list any witnesses or the doctor who delivered him, and there’s no record that anyone knows he was born there. In fact, it appears that his mother or his grandparents somehow tried to make it a matter of record that he was born in Hawaii to make him a U.S. citizen.’

  154. Expelliarmus says:

    James: We now know that there is no long-form BC (hospital BC) for Obama according to Tim Adams.

    Adams never said that. What we know from Adams (if we believe him), is that the long firm BC is not in the position of the Hawaii elections department. It probably isn’t being keep over at the Parks & Rec department or the DMV either.

    Before Adams came along… no one was stupid enough to ask anyone at the elections department whether they had Obama’s birth certificate.

    The Governor of Hawaii did ask the Director of the Department of Health…. who said that yes, indeed, they did have the long-form birth certificate. I can’t fathom the logic of concluding that something doesn’t exist because it can’t be found in someplace other than where it belongs.

    No…we know that Tim Adams CLAIMS that other people TOLD HIM there was no long form…and that he worked in an office that had no access to those records.

    James: I think a statement from Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely puts its best:

    It certainly puts many delusions well….

    James: There is no proof that I’ve seen that he was born in Honolulu

    Except for the COLB which is prima facie evidence, the statements of the governor and DoH, the birth announcements…but hey, I suppose if you keep your eyes closed, there is no proof that you’ve seen of much of anything.

    James: because the copy of the alleged birth record certainly doesn’t list any witnesses or the doctor who delivered him, and there’s no record that anyone knows he was born there.

    Yes, because the only records taht have a list of witnesses, doctors, nurses, and everyone who saw the child in the first day count (someone better tell the State Department, and the majority of US states that their records don’t meet Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely’s standards for official records…which I guess leaves the vast majority of US citizens with no proof of where they were born.)

    James: In fact, it appears that his mother or his grandparents somehow tried to make it a matter of record that he was born in Hawaii to make him a U.S. citizen.

    Yes, because by saying this, I can actually dismiss all the actual documentary evidence that I pretend not to see in my first sentance. See, all the evidence of him actually being born in Hawaii, is actually evidence that he wasn’t born in the US….yeah…OK

    Tim Adams thought he overheard someone say they may have overheard someone told them that their aunt heard that Obama might not have a birth certificate. Wow. He should just resign now.

  157. DaveH says:

    From what I understand, Tim Adams heard that Obama didn’t have a long form bc based on something his co-worker’s boyfriend’s second cousin’s aunt’s husband’s sister heard. Sure seems to be hearsay to me but maybe Obama should consider resigning before 2012 since WND apparently has the story and we all know WND reports facts.

    All of you are being silly. Tim Adams heard it from my cat.

    I think someone in the Hawaii Elections office is a time traveler who forward in time and read it in WND.

    Dr. C –

    Don’t tell me. It was a tall, lanky fellow in a pinstripe suit, Converse All-Stars, and geeky glasses who talked about things being wibbly-wobbly and timey-wimey, right?

    *vworp* *vworp* *vworp*

  161. racosta says:

    James has been getting sillier than normal. He falls for one OMG moment after another. He really believes the Tim Adams fiction and is spreading it throughout the internet. He never responds nor even reads responses so he has no idea how silly he is. All he ever does is make us laugh. No sense trying to educate him, he automatically blocks truth. I wonder how each let down affects him. What will he do when Lakin fails to unseat Obama. Maybe he can become a columnist at WND or he can become the webmaster at RSOL. Better yet, he can become Orly’s assistant.

  162. thorswitch says:

    Two different people have contacted the Hawaiian department of Elections to confirm various aspects of this story. The first called and verified that Adams actually had worked there during the summer of 2008. The second called and learned that Adams DID NOT have access to any of the databases he claimed he did. In fact, no one in the Elections office had access to those databases. Now, a lot of people are claiming that Adams story must be true because the department of Elections confirmed he actually worked there, but most of them simply ignore that the department of Elections ALSO confirmed that Adams is a liar because he claimed to have access to databases that he never did have access to. And if you’re willing to take the word of an Elections official that Adams worked there, then you also have to take the word of an Elections official that he didn’t have the access he claimed he did.

    As for James declaration that if the long form existed we would have seen it by now, you’re wrong. The Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act (aka HIPPA) DOES NOT ALLOW such records to be released to anyone other than the person themselves or, if that person is deceased, to a *CLOSE* living relative. Additionally, because there is only *one* original of any birth document, under no circumstances will the state allow that actual piece of paper to leave it’s vaults. Even if Obama were willing to get and show a copy of his long-form (which would be quite difficult since Hawaii has digitized all of their records and does not have ready access to the original papers that were filed) all he could show would be just that – a COPY – and you know every birther will just claim that it’s forged, so there’s no point whatsoever in even trying. Why bother when you know that no one will accept it?

    Dr. Conspiracy: it should be possible to move these where they belong.

    Isn’t your bit bucket about to overflow?
