The Occasional Open Thread – en Costa Rica

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Dr. Conspiracy

I’m in the southwest part of Costa Rica looking at a very nice sunset over the Pacific Ocean.

So what’s on your Obama conspiratorial minds?

I certainly hope Arizona passes an eligibility law – I’ve been worried that the birthers aren’t competent enough to get standing. I want to see the looks on their faces when it turns out that the COLB was the birth certificate all along and proves President Obama’s eligibility in open court.

I notice a lot of birthers are now saying that a state should pass a law that requires the long form certificate. I’ve pointed out several errors including that it would be a violation of the Full Faith and Credit Clause in the constitution and also mentioned how no state has even proposed that

These other candidates are going to be displaying *their* COLBs as proof and suddenly we’ll be awash in COLBs.
That can only be a good thing.
Dems and Repubs alike will be agreeing left and right that a COLB is sufficient and it will drive birthers crazy.

What’s funny about this is that, from reading some of the blogs about this article, the birther klan thinks that if a state passes a law like this, the candidate must come to their houses and have them approve the “birth certificate” before the state will put the candidate on the ballot. They say that if there’s no doctor’s signature on it, they won’t approve it. lmao

Not one birther has ever been able to explain when or why proof of doctor and hospital became a legal requirement to establish eligibility.

No doubt, Will. Any candidate, Republicans too, who submits a birth certificate will submit virtually the same thing that President Obama has shown. They know his doesn’t have a doctor’s name or signature, so they say they will not accept one without it, but when Republicans submit virtually the same thing he has without a doctor’s name or signature, they will have to move the goalposts again because they are not going to hold Republican candidates to a standard they can’t meet. This is hilarious.

Sean, that’s the beauty of it – if the COLB is sufficient then the brithers will be with the wailing and gnashing of teeth about how the state didn’t do it right at the same time the entire movement will have been completely marginalized as wingnuts or they will end up with some court handing down a ruling that sounds a lot like Ankeny (also followed by the wailing and gnashing of teeth and the falling on deaf ears). Either way, it’s the ‘grand finale’ of the birhter movement – although it may continue on, it will never reclaim even the shadow of its former glory.

Hope you are enjoying Costa Rica.

I’m currently enjoying the amusement offered by the fine folks at Free Republic.

Last weekend,Friday, January 21st, a thread was posted entitled Hawaii Law: Child born prior 1967 must have Christian name, which tries to make the case that since “Barrack” isn’t Christian, clearly, he wasn’t born in Hawaii, or something along those lines.

Found here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2660806/posts

Ignoring the fact that “Barrack” is a name from the Old Testament, and the fact that such laws are completely unenforceable, it seems that the birthers are just one teensy step away from making stuff up from thin air.

While I stand by my previous prediction that the birther movement will become stronger and more demanding of politician’s time and attention as we approach the 2012 election, the birthers are clearly at the point where they’re taking up residence in Crazy Town.

With a little luck, this will all come together and bite the behind of any politician who refused to denounce previous birther idiocy.

Sorry, but you’ve failed once again – Dr. Fukino confirmed (in testimony to a Hawai’i state senate committee) that President Obama posted an image of his birth certificate online. Unless you have evidence that she perjured herself, all reasonable people will take her at her word. The whole eligibility debate is over – you birthers just haven’t figured it out yet. It will be most amusing when the COLB proves sufficient to demonstrate President Obama’s eligibility… I’ll bet that it just burned you up how articulate and presidential President Obama was tonight – I wonder if well see a bump in his approval numbers (over 50% in some polls – a sitting president has never lost re-election in the modern era with over at 50% approval rating…

http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/50leg/1r/bills/hb2544p.pdf

F Up the First

1. AN ORIGINAL LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE THAT INCLUDES THE DATE AND
PLACE OF BIRTH, THE NAMES OF THE HOSPITAL AND THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN AND SIGNATURES OF THE WITNESSES IN ATTENDANCE.

a. Ooops, Full Faith and Credit says “You Fail”, you get whatever the state issues and that’s it.

b. No original “long Form” you only EVER get a certified copy of , the original ALWAYS stays in the vital records repository

F up the Second

A SWORN STATEMENT ATTESTING THAT THE CANDIDATE HAS NOT HELD DUAL OR
MULTIPLE CITIZENSHIP AND THAT THE CANDIDATE’S ALLEGIANCE IS SOLELY TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

No state gets to add requirements to yer basic Constitution….You go to jail , do not pass Go, do not claim $200

F up the Third

A SWORN STATEMENT OR FORM THAT IDENTIFIES THE CANDIDATE’S PLACES OF
RESIDENCE IN THE UNITED STATES FOR THE PRECEDING FOURTEEN YEARS.

So, any soldier who servef abroiad anytime in the last 14 years is out, what about a CEO of a company who spent a year setting up a company in the Far East that? etc. In fact….What about Ike…….

F up the Fourth

IF BOTH THE CANDIDATE AND THE NATIONAL POLITICAL PARTY COMMITTEE
FOR THAT CANDIDATE FAIL TO SUBMIT AND SWEAR TO THE DOCUMENTS PRESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION, THE SECRETARY OF STATE SHALL NOT PLACE THAT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE’S NAME ON THE BALLOT IN THIS STATE.

States don’t get to determine Federal and Constitutional standing….More legal money out the door anyone..?

This is an interesting question to consider. A soldier, or a government official assigned say to an overseas embassy is out of the US in service to the US, but not a legal resident of the country they’re deployed to. But is a CEO, or other employee of a company who legally resides in a foreign country, not a resident of the US during that time? Doesn’t having a work visa to work in England, Germany, France, Dubai make you a legal resident of that country? What if you maintain a home in the US during that time? You can vote through the state in which you normally reside. Any examples of this other than Jefferson, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, + Ike? – but they were overseas in service to the US govt. Clinton was a Rhodes scholar, but back more than 14 years before he ran for President.

philip the south african says:
January 25, 2011 at 12:23 pm
this is unfortunately all going to be a non-issue unless one state passes a law against using computer records when original data is avail to establish presidential eligibility.
at that time, if it comes, this will get fought out in court.
while true, that you cannot go on remote fishing expeditions, asserting that this could plausibly be heard in any court, with the state of HI through its records agents, NOT being expected to assert what records they possess, (not display or publicly release)
is nonsensical.
At that point, they will need to assert how they conserve documents, how these fdocs were transcribed into computer records, they will testify to which historical docs (with the actual doc/copies under seal) they can confirm to possess…

at that time, if we get there, is when it goes to shit for Obama. No one even needs to win the case, since at that DISCOVERY phase, HI officials will assert that they possess only Obama BC secondary records
—————————————-

The end said: One one state forces this into court with such a law, then you can get HI officials on the stand, and compel them to assert what they DO SPECIFICALLY possess.
At that point, Obama has serious trouble either way, since if he/HI takes this to court, they create a entire new media controversy around Obama,
and if they simply go t0 court, it opens their officials to the one thing they cannot withstand, which is a LONE simplt question of the certifying official
—————————————–

So let me get this line of reasoning straight. One of the states pass a law requiring the long form. In order to get on the ballot Obama sues and somehow this gives the birthers standing to get discovery? Yeah that’s tortured logic. They wouldn’t even get too far as once this law is passed through a statehouse the DOJ is under obligation to sue on behalf of the federal government as that law would be in violation of the Full Faith and Credit Clause.

The IRS has some very complex rules regarding whether or not one is considered a foreign resident. In the case of a private sector employee, if their principal place of business were overseas, they would generally be considered a resident of the country they were living and working in. Maintaining a home in the US wouldn’t change that. They would, of course, remain US citizens and be able to vote from overseas by absentee ballot

The birther reasoning for a law that requires a long form to get on the ballot is like this. They claim that once that happens Obama would have to sue to get on the ballot. This would then give them standing and Hawaii would have to be on the record if they have the original long form or not. They think this will open up the discovery process. The problem is this wouldn’t even go far. The DOJ would be under obligation to sue the state for violating the Full Faith and Credit clause in the constitution.

I don’t see how the (birther) logic would work in your scenario. Why would it give the birthers standing if Obama has to sue AZ to get on the ballot as opposed to being on the ballot from the start as it is now?
For the voters, there is no difference whether a candidate is on the ballot or is suing (or has successfully sued) to get on it.

“For more than a year, the Department of Health has continued to receive approximately 50 e-mail inquiries a month seeking access to President Barack Obama’s birth certificate in spite of the fact that President Obama has posted a copy of the certificate on his former campaign website. Hawaii is a “closed records” state, meaning that vital records are available on ly to those with a direct and tangible interest as defined by statute; hence they are not subject to disclosure under public records requests.”

Just saying things are facts are not facts. Abercrombie didn’t lie about anything.

Abercrombie set out to clarify matters, and settle the”birther” issue once and for all. Instead, he has legitimized inquiries into Obama’s birth records.

In Dreams from My Father Obama wrote “You know, as soon as the Old Man died, the lawyers contacted all those who might have a claim to the inheritance. Unlike my mum, Ruth has all the documents needed to prove who Mark’s father was.”

What did he mean by that? Everyone knows the state of Hawaii has proof on file of who his father was…

I think it’s a concerted effort to bring out the Birthers. I’m not convinced he was ever eligible, but I think it is specifically designed to take away the ability of the right to criticize his handling on the issues by making them look like raving 9/11 Truthers or something. If they (the left) can show that the Birthers are making this argument all about the person, they (the left) win. Of course you can’t have a personal argument with a Black Indonesian Muslim. That’s blatant racism. If we fight using Alinsky tactics, we lose.

Obama is incompetent. At this point it doesn’t matter to me where he was born. It should, but it’s a bit late now. The genie is out of the bottle. Plug the hole, then clean up the damage. Tea-nami 2012 is coming.

I don’t understand the folks who say this is some conspiracy to bring out the birthers, cause a Republican split, etc. I think it is what it is: There isn’t a document suitable for release. The guy is a fraud and like all leftists believed that rules didn’t apply to him. Only a handful of people in power really know the truth and they knew from the very beginning.
In 2012 a new President of either party will seal Ozero’s records for 100 years to “protect the Country” and “move forward” and that, as they say, will be that.

I hope I am wrong. I hope that instead of another Nixon pardon the truth wins so our children will believe they matter.

When he was adopted by Lolo Soetero when he was 6 Indonesia did not recognize duel citizenship so where ever he was born had to be renounced and he became an Indonesian citizen which is also the only way he could attend school.
He had gone to Pakistan twice, once in 1980 and once in 1981, in order for him to go he had to use his Indonesian Passport because as I understand it US citizens were not permitted to go.
This has all been well documented over the past few years.

So my questions have always been, did he ever renounce his Indonesian citizenship and if so when? and Did he ever take the US oath of citizenship and if so when? In either case he is not eligible to sit as POTUS as one cannot have duel citizenship nor can one be a naturalized citizen.

Question now is, what will the Republicans in office do?

annblake, I suppose his parents produced the COLB for him to get a passport; That was likely acceptable in the early 60s as children didn’t need SS#s in 1961 or so. Later, when he was of age, he either used his “minor child passport” as ID to get a new one or he entered the Country as an Indonesian or bought a fake one.
True story: Someone offered to supply me with a REAL passport in DC with any name I wanted in the late 80s for only $1000.

@Bob Ross: Try LISTENING to the sound file. It begins around 2:43 into the recording.

Of course, I suppose you COULD make the argument that no where on the recording does ABERCROMBIE himself state that there is no Obama Birth Certificate. This is true. The interviewere is not interviewing ABERCROMBIE; he is interviewing MIKE EVANS. MIKE EVANS states in the recording that Abercrombie told him there was no birth certificate; no evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii.

Now you could make the argument that this is heresay; that Evans could be lying, or mistaken, or spoke to someone else by the name of Neil Abercrombie, not the actual Neil Abercrombie who is governor of Hawaii. Or perhaps you could say that Evans was high on magic mushrooms and simply dreamed the whole thing.

But to say that nowhere on the recording is it ever said that Abercrombie said there is no Obama birth certificate is disengenuous and an outright lie. Did you even listen to the recording?

I don’t care where Obama was born. I care about getting him out of office because he’s a fucking Marxist scum.

If it turns out he also lied to get college grant money and was not eligible because he forged documents all the better for his impeachment trail.

It’s stupid to fight over a birth certificate.. If daddy is indeed Obama senior then bobo is not a natural born citizen and can be removed from office. Let the impeachment trails begin.

If he was born to some unknown black man and Grandpa and Grandma set the fake marriage up to (1) let fake Daddy stay in the country longer to get he’s Harvard degree
And (2) to help the Marxist and Communist movements advance (which is more then likely the case. Obama is still ineligible for the presidency.

Something is being hidden to many lies have been told by Obama, his birth parents and all those who have aided him to get to the presidency.

Obama wrote a book sort of about dreams of my Father. He can get in deep shit for fraud along with all the social security cards he has and the grants or loans he took out for college under false pretences

I think Daddy is someone everyone wants to keep quite about.
That’s why the man is hiding all person records.

Jail and treason that would be worth millions if not trillions of dollars to all parties concerned to protect.

Either way there is more to Obama then just a missing Birth Certificate and the mystery needs to be solved.

Abercrombie’s office stated Obama’s lack of consent was why the Governor ended his quest:

A privacy law that shields birth certificates has prompted Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie to abandon efforts to dispel claims that President Barack Obama was born outside Hawaii, his office says.

State Attorney General David Louie told the governor that privacy laws bar him from disclosing an individual’s birth documentation without the person’s consent, Abercrombie spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz said Friday.

HONOLULU – A privacy law that shields birth certificates has prompted
Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie to abandon efforts to dispel claims
that President Barack Obama was born outside Hawaii, his office says.

State Attorney General David Louie told the governor
that privacy laws bar him from disclosing an individual’s birth
documentation without the person’s consent, Abercrombie spokeswoman
Donalyn Dela Cruz said Friday.

“There is nothing more that Gov. Abercrombie can do
within the law to produce a document,” said Dela Cruz. “Unfortunately,
there are conspirators who will continue to question the citizenship of
our president.”

Abercrombie, who was a friend of Obama’s parents and
knew him as a child, launched an investigation last month into whether
he can release more information about the president’s Aug. 4, 1961
birth. The governor said at the time he was bothered by people who
questioned Obama’s birthplace for political reasons.

But Abercrombie’s attempt reached a dead end when Louie told him the law restricted his options.

Hawaii’s privacy laws have long barred the release of
a certified birth certificate to anyone who doesn’t have a tangible
interest.

Abercrombie chose to embark on a quest to dispell all doubts about Obama’s birth, and announced he was doing so to the press. Then Abercrombie made a number of odd statements, which seem to contradict the sworn testimony of other state officials, and raised more questions. Then Abercrombie announced he was giving up, because Obama chose not to give his family friend permission to resolve things. The end result is that questions about Obama’s birth documentation are more legitimate than ever.

Lets look at what the above statement I posted said. Specifically this part…”State Attorney General David Louie told the governor that privacy laws bar him from disclosing an individual’s birth documentation without the person’s consent, Abercrombie spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz said Friday.” So what exactly is birth documentation? The phrase Birth docmentation not imply or states that it is the so called “long form”. So what exactly should Obama release. The same COLB that he has already released that the birthers have made the unsubstantiated claim that it is a forgery? HI law is very specific. The state cannot release so called “long form” because the only birth record that is offically released is the COLB. So what exactly could Obama have given permission to release? Can you tell us?

lol. The birther klan are the only ones making odd statements, just like they have been doing for two and a half years. Abercrombie clearly said that he was going to look for something that he could release under existing law, and then he went looking for SOMETHING HE COULD RELEASE UNDER EXISTING LAW. He then said that he didn’t find anything, not that there was nothing there, but that he couldn’t find anything HE COULD RELEASE UNDER EXISTING LAW, which is what he said he was looking for.

Nothing strange about it at all. Abercrombie wasn’t looking for the birth certificate, because he knew that he has no authority to release it. He was looking for other records, such as contemporaneous logs, which Hawaii’s privacy law might permit him to release. He apparently found something (and he never refers to it as an “official document,” so once again your are putting words in his mouth), but whatever it was he was advised by his AG that he cannot release it.

It’s also strange Obama refused to allow his family friend to settle the matter once and for all.

It is? You have evidence that Abercrombie has asked Obama for his consent to release the birth certificate, and Obama has refused? Please provide your evidence.

He once went on 180 junkets in six years, most of them golf trips, and reportedly copped to playing 100 rounds a year at a time when he was collecting a six-figure salary, paid for by the U.S. taxpayer, to serve in Congress. His political action committee spent almost $83,000 on golf events in 2009, and over the past 18 months he has run up a $67,000 tab at the Ritz-Carlton golf resort in Naples, Florida. He flew on a corporate jet 45 times between 2000 and 2007, and took at least 41 other corporate-sponsored trips in the past decade.

What he’s more worried about is that the birther klan will do with whatever he releases what they did to what he did release – ALTER IT AND CLAIM IT WAS FORGED BY THE PRESIDENT. He’s complied with all laws, he’s been president for more than two years, he will be running for reelection, and he doesn’t care what the birther klan thinks. Hopefully, he will win reelection so we can see to see what depths of stupidity and mental illness the birther klan are capable of sinking to given another 4 years of President Obama. Will they check into the loony bin? Will they leave the country? Will they commit mass suicide? Stay tuned, folks.

There’s no need to get so emotional. I’m not a birther, or pusillanimous.
Abercrombie chose to embark on a quest to dispell all doubts about Obama’s birth, and announced he was doing so to the press. Then Abercrombie made a number of odd statements, which seem to contradict the sworn testimony of other state officials, and raised more questions. Then Abercrombie announced he was giving up, because Obama chose not to give his family friend permission to resolve things. The end result is that questions about Obama’s birth documentation are more legitimate than ever.

You are a birther and completed blinded by confirmation bias, delusions and denial.

You come come here and crap on the carpet from time to time with the EXACT same birther bullsh!t and not one shred of evidence or credibility.

You have zero evidence of anything other than your paranoia and bizarre search for any minutiae, no matter how irrelevant, to prove your birtherness. They are only “doubts” (read: paranoid delusions) to a fringe of hate driven and politically and bigotry motivated un-American scum.

You are 100% birther through and through.

Freddy N.: It’s also strange Obama refused to allow his family friend to settle the matter once and for all.

Is it? I don’t think its strange at all. If anything, I think Obama has shown a tremendous level of restraint in the face of birther lies and slime.

If I were Obama, it would be a cold day in Hell before I allowed anyone to do anything on my behalf with regard to the birthers.

Obama provided a COLB, but it stopped nothing. All it did was empower “experts” like Techdude and Polarik and fed the birther need for anything negative, regardless of how untrue it was.

Birthers who have spent their time saying that his mother wasn’t really his mother, and that his father wasn’t really his father, or that his grandfather was his father, or that Frank Davis was his father, or that Malcolm X was his father…. or any one of dozens of cock-and-bull stories made up from thin air deserve nothing. They aren’t worthy of being acknowledged, much less being catered to.

If I were Obama, I’d tell them all to take a flying leap. And if asked, Obama should make a point of telling the American public just what the birthers, enabled by the GOP, have been saying about his family. As I’ve said before, I’m not a Democrat or an Obama supporter. But attacking a person’s parents and family is vile and disgusting, and while I don’t support Obama, I can’t support any part of the GOP which encourages or allows such conduct.

Birthers need to be doing soul searching over what compelled them to say such vile, nasty lies about people with zero evidence to back it up. Even the birthers who haven’t personally stooped so low need to ask themselves why they haven’t publicly disassociated themselves from those who choose to wallow in the slop.

At the end of the day, why in the world would Obama want to prove anything to this motley collection of liars, slanderers, and foul-mouthed garbage peddlers?

Update on MIke Evans (from earlier this morning):

My take on Mike Evans:

He reads the paper and claims that he sees that the two hospitals (Q & K) have no record of the birth certificate. He remembers the last time he saw N. Abercrombie and how he was adamant to get rid of the birth certificate controversy once and for all when he became Governor. He calls Abercrombie’s office and is not able to speak to the Governor so he leaves his name and number. With the idea in his head that he goes on the radio show and completely bungles. He didn’t actually believe that he said he spoke to the Governor’s office and said that Neil told him blaa blaa… until he hears himself and how it could be interpreted that way. This clip is the first time Evans hears what he actually said. I think he was on Fox later. Jerome Corsi comes in at the end of the clip.

You really have to listen to the clip, even though it is clearly a birther radio host and it may hurt the sensibilities of some, to understand Mike Evans. He didn’t know anything about anything until he read whatever he read in the papers. I don’t believe the paper said what he believes, but HE clearly believes he saw it. I am already seeing a few people claim he was told to shut up. He was not told to shut up. Mike Evans is…. clueless. If and when Neil Abercromobie ever talks to him again, that will be quite the story. But this story does continue the birther controversy, no doubt.

No, no it isn’t “in bounds”. Not at all.

I can’t begin to tell you how bad it sounds when birthers ask that sort of question. His father is the man whose name is on his COLB. Legally, that’s his father. Legally, that’s all you’re entitled to.

Morally, that’s all you’re entitled to (if that).

We don’t hold people responsible for the actions of their parents. We don’t hold the marital or political status of the parent against the child. That isn’t the way we do things in the United States. It’s morally wrong to hold a child responsible for the actions of their parents.

Thomas Paine and Alexander Hamilton were born out of wedlock. History doesn’t hold that against them.

Leslie Lynch King, Sr. was an abusive drunkard who threatened to kill his wife and newborn son with a butcher knife. His wife collected up her 16 day old son, walked out, and in the end, divorced her husband. He never paid child support for his son, and only saw the child once more in his lifetime.

Yet, we never held any of that against the son and no one thought that the Senior King’s history disqualified the son from becoming the 38th president.

So I have to ask… what’s different about Obama that you feel we should hold him responsible for his parent’s behavior when we haven’t done so in the past?

Birthers who consider themselves de Vattellists would say that Obama Senior means that Barrack Obama could never (legally) be president.

So what do Birthers have to gain by trashing Obama’s family and denying that the man listed on his COLB is his father?

Is it all in the trashing, or is there an actual point?

Here’s my take – Evans only saw the WND story article or one of the papers that foolishly used the WND article as a baseline and was gullible enough to think it was an actual legit breaking news story, so he wanted to “get in on the action” and come across as if he was an “insider” and “part of the story”. He said what he said not by mistake, but because he wanted to parlay his prior connections to knowing Abercromibe into making himself look “big” here.

He was caught off guard when this got picked up and his story questioned, because neither his claims nor WND’s hold water to any of the actual statements of record. Now he’s sheepishly trying to back-peddle.

My take on Mike Evans

Thanks for posting this

Someone needs to tell Mr Evans that hospitals don’t keep birth certificates; they just fill the forms out and send them to DOH. It also seems he wasn’t really that close to the Governor. It’s not clear that he has spoken with him since the inauguration and all he got was some low-level person in the office. It’s pretty shoddy of him to have said “Neil said” as he did in the original interview when Neil didn’t say squat to him.

Freddy N.: I’m not a birther. Abercrombie’s “excursion” into the birth records has implications beyond Obama, it’s opened up the possibility Fukino committed perjury.

Do you live in Hawaii? If not, why do you care? I mean, do you follow legislative hearings in all 50 states looking to see if anyone lied? Can you make a living from that?

What would be the advantage or reason for Fukino to commit perjury?Where is the motivation there?To believe such things requires one to buy into such a vast and far reaching conspiracy that the whole notion quickly becomes ludicrous.And yes, you are most definitely a birther.Everything you’ve said is typical birther babble.You might not like the stink of the Birther title…but when the shoe fits…

It wouldn’t take a vast conspiracy at all. Everyone involved is sympathetic. Lots of information about Obama that has come out about other presidents and presidential candidates has remained suppressed. We know George Bush’s Yale grades, for example. In contrast, it remains unclear even what classes Obama took at Columbia.

Freddy N.: I’m not an Obama worshipper, either, thus I think it would be important if we learned the autobiography and identity he’s presented were, to a considerable extent, fraudulent.

I would put “Who’s your Daddy?” in the realm of gossip rather than historical inquiry. There were rumors (likely false) that Lincoln Sr. was not Abe’s biological father. But suppose they were true. Would that diminish Lincoln’s greatness? Not a bit.

You guys keep acting as though Obama is still a candidate. He’s the President. He gets judged on what he does in office. End of story.

This interview is the earliest one. You’ll get a better picture if you listen to it.

G: Here’s my take – Evans only saw the WND story article or one of the papers that foolishly used the WND article as a baseline and was gullible enough to think it was an actual legit breaking news story, so he wanted to “get in on the action” and come across as if he was an “insider” and “part of the story”.He said what he said not by mistake, but because he wanted to parlay his prior connections to knowing Abercromibe into making himself look “big” here.He was caught off guard when this got picked up and his story questioned, because neither his claims nor WND’s hold water to any of the actual statements of record.Now he’s sheepishly trying to back-peddle.

He didn’t even know who Jerome Corsi was (or Stanley Dunham for that matter). He was definitely caught off guard. For him to have no idea of how this story would escalate shows his gullibility, lack of sophistication, whatever you want to call it. Did you listen to the clip?

Thanks for posting thisSomeone needs to tell Mr Evans that hospitals don’t keep birth certificates; they just fill the forms out and send them to DOH.It also seems he wasn’t really that close to the Governor.It’s not clear that he has spoken with him since the inauguration and all he got was some low-level person in the office.It’s pretty shoddy of him to have said “Neil said” as he did in the original interview when Neil didn’t say squat to him.

I think they were a little above low level acquaintances, but not old friends in the sense of many shared experiences through the years. I think Mike Evans is pretty well horrified now. Because he is about 62 years and has been on the radio for so long with no apparent controversies prior to now, I tend to think he was simply clueless about what he did.

In contrast, it remains unclear even what classes Obama took at Columbia.

You realize that quite a few of these people, such as Lingle and Fukino were Republicans, right? If they had info that could have helped McCain win, they wouldn’t have hesitated to use it.

The “sympathetic” argument is just weak conspiracy talk nonsense, as “sympathy” doesn’t trump law or regulations. Heck, by that definition Ambercromie is certainly “sympathetic”, yet has had to learn and accept that even his “powers” as Governor do not allow him to trump privacy laws.

You’re GWB arguments only work against you.

For one, on an apples-to-apples comparison you need to stick to birth certificates being released for relevance here. That’s really the ONLY key document that would address issues towards the NBC requirement for POTUS.

GWB never released his birth certificate. In fact, NO PRIOR candidate OTHER THAN OBAMA ever did.

So, on just an apples-to-apples comparison, your argument fails miserably and only highlights that you wish to impose a standard on one individual (Obama), which never applied to ANY other person prior to that. It is both a hypocritical and suspect stance to take.

Furthermore, what relevance do George Bush’s Yale grades have to do with his eligibility to be POTUS? Just because that info came out into the public, doesn’t mean it HAD to.

That is where you fail to see the difference. If GWB’s school records weren’t made public and he refused to release them, he would fully be within his right to do so and it wouldn’t make any difference to his eligibility at all. Nor could the school just decide to release that info on their own – privacy laws and all.

So, what is your real motivation here, Freddy N? You seem to not like being called a Birther, yet you are about as standard Birther boilerplate as it gets.

This isn’t your first time here at this site, either. You’ve spent an awful lot of time and effort coming here and frantically throwing about basic birther nonsense over and over again that your pattern is clear.

Based on your own actions and statements, you’ve confirmed that not only are you a hard-core birther, but one who is extremely emotionally invested in being one.

So let’s get to the truth – what is “different” about Obama that so scares you that is different from EVERY other candidate or president before him? Why do you need to try to hide behind standards that you wish to apply to Obama and no other previous president?

You are letting Evans off lightly by calling him clueless. Play the original interview again. He says, “Neil said’ and “Neil told me”. Yet he never spoke to neil about this. That isn’t clueless, that’s lying. I am willing to believe he did it for attention, rather than political motives-in fact my original statement was that it was a ratings stunt-but either way, he owes the Governor and all his listeners a HUGE apology, and I haven’t seen one yet.

Read my points again. It seems you are trying to argue against nothing here. My “theory” on him is pretty much what you just said too:

– Evans was gullible and read some story, not realizing that it wasn’t true.
– He tried to “make himself” part of the story by puffing up his “relationship” with Abercrombie and make it sound like he was “privy” to these developments by talking with Abercrombie.
-but he got caught off guard when the story went beyond just his show and he got called on the carpet for claiming Abercrombie said things to him that didn’t match the actual record.
-so now he’s trying to “back-peddle” by backing away from the key part that made this whole thing a “story” in the first place – that he had claimed to talk to Abercrombie when he didn’t.

All I’ve accused him of being was an opportunist. Which I still view him as and I stand by that assessment of his actions.

Yes. See RCW 70.58.210:

Birth certificate upon adoption.

(1) Whenever a decree of adoption has been entered declaring a child, born in the state of Washington, adopted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the state of Washington or any other state or any territory of the United States, a certified copy of the decree of adoption shall be recorded with the proper department of registration of births in the state of Washington and a certificate of birth shall issue upon request, bearing the new name of the child as shown in the decree of adoption, the names of the adoptive parents of the child and the age, sex, and date of birth of the child, but no reference in any birth certificate shall have reference to the adoption of the child. However, original registration of births shall remain a part of the record of the board of health.

OF COURSE a sitting president who runs for re-election is judged on his record! *DUH*

That’s the whole point in a re-election.

Same as with ANY job. When you first apply for a job, your interview and your resume are the primary sets of info that someone has to go on in making a hiring decision.

After you’ve been at the job for a more than a year, your performance reviews and ability to be promoted, etc. are based on judging your performance in that job. Your resume prior to that job no longer matters.

Being POTUS is a pretty unique job – there is only one at any one time and someone can be POTUS for no more than 2 consecutive terms.

Therefore, the first time someone runs for that position, all there is to go on is their “resume” and their “interview” (which is the campaign) in order to judge if they are up to the job of being POTUS.

Once they are POTUS…we see how they actually perform on the job. That performance is what they are primarily evaluated on during a reelection.

Let’s cut to the chase then, when you posted that clip here today, did you know that what he was saying was BS? NOT that he was lying, but that it was BS. And if you thought that it was BS when you came here today, when did you come to that realization?

I don’t believe he was lying. I listened to the clip and heard his reaction the first time his own words were played back to him. He knew then what came out. And as I recall, there were people here who said what he said: that he called the office.

Here is part of what I just said above, the first time I voluntarily posted (and not confronted):

He didn’t know anything about anything until he read whatever he read in the papers. I don’t believe the paper said what he believes, but HE clearly believes he saw it.

G: So yeah, in the end, why assume that Abercrombie needs to respond to any of this at all.

I would think that because Evans said he called his office, he would want an official statement denying it. Mike Evans is not an anonymous person; there are interviews available that indicate at least that they are some kind of acquaintances. (The Governor says his full name, for instance, in one of the links) In other words, it is not a statement by someone named Squeeky who has a history of making inane statements. In the interviews, he appeared sane to me. As for Adams, I simply said he seems to be throwing fighting words and wondered if there would be a reaction. Time will bear out whether there will be any consequences.

Freddy N.: The father listed on my “Certificate of Live Birth” isn’t my biological father.Given Obama’s refusal to cooperate with Abercrombie’s attempt to resolve this matter, along with Abercrombie’s ambiguous statements, skepticism is not unwarranted.

You have gone off at a tangent.

First of all the “this matter” which Abercrombie was hoping (somewhat naively in my humble opinion) to help resolve was the matter of continuing speculation as regards whether Obama was born in Hawaii, not the matter of who his father was.

Secondly, as has already been explained to you by others there is no evidence of any refusal by Obama to cooperate with Abercrombie, so in this respect you seem to be diving for the safety of the notions in your head instead of finding something you “know” to be factual. I politely asked you to try not to do that when you replied..

Any reasonably intelligent man should realise that Abercrombie not being in possession of permission from Obama to releae any birth related documentation found in the Hawaii files is not necessarily the same thing as Abercrombie having asked Obama for such permission and having been refused it. You simply do not “know” if there was a request and refusal or not and neither do I.

Finally, summoning the best will I can muster, I can just about believe that there are some very tiny shoots of justification for a little skepticism about what kind of birth information and documents are actually in the Hawaii vital record files, fuelled by some very badly worded utterances by Abercrombie…..but I cannot for the life of me understand what possible relevance those utterances have to creating skepticism over who Obama’s father was.

Well, although what you say makes perfect logical sense that one should try to choose a career field that matches their skills…it sure doesn’t always turn out that way in reality.

Personally, I’m surprised at how many DJ’s there are out there that seem to have poor communication skills and bumble their words. I often wonder how they got the job and how they stay on the air.

But then again, there are incompetent people doing jobs ill-suited to them all over the place in just about every career arena, that somehow manage to survive/stay in that career field, despite their lack of skills or competence. Just a sad reality of how the real world operates.

I believed (and no one appeared to agree with me) that because Mike Evans said the information came from his office (an official capacity) that he would probably want to make some kind of statement.

Hearing how Evans lied about speaking with Abercrombie makes me doubt some of his Hollywood stories, especially the one on his blog about Steve Tyler doing drugs.

Regarding Tim Adams, I see him as, like Evans, blowing a whole bunch of stuff out of proportion. In his case, the motive seems more political than publicity stunt. We already know he exaggerated a 4 month temp job into a senior position.

What likely happened is that while he was working for the Elections Office, he started asking a bunch of questions about Obama. His supervisors got tired of hearing it and told him to get back to work. When he persisted, they probably said something like, “Records? We don’t got no stinkin’ records”. Maybe as a joke, they told him that everyone knows there are no records. Workplace jokes like that are common. The point is he worked for an office that has no birth records and no need to access them, certainly for Obama. who voted in Illinois, not Hawaii.

And Adams never claims in his sworn statement that he ever did access any of Hawaii’s records, birth records or otherwise, to find out if there was a birth certificate for Obama. All his statement said was that someone told him the information he has.

What you FAIL to understand is that there must be PROOF that someone was lying on their credentials.

You don’t get to just claim someone’s resume is bogus and then boot them. You would be subject to an unfair termination lawsuit.

You simply must have evidence proving your case. Suspicions don’t cut it

So, let’s go back to your laughable use of “false resume credentials” as your view of the main reason that people don’t re-elect presidents… instead of basing it on their performance and compare that to history.

…Oh that’s right. No prior POTUS running for re-election has ever had this issue of “false resume credentials” be a factor in his re-election campaign either….

I do tend to look at his years focusing on “gossip” issues (including Hollywood gossip) as an indicator though of the types of stories he’s comfortable in dealing with. Gossip is often full of embellishment and boasting. The guy’s background is more of a gossip entertainer than a real journalist, so I’m not surprised that he’d just naively read a story he was unfamiliar with and run with it and try to embellish upon it and make himself seem to be “part” of the story, without fact checking.

Michele Bachmann Proposes “Don’t Add, Don’t Spell”

Reflects Core Tea Party Values, Says Minn. Lawmaker

MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) – In her official Tea Party response to President Obama’s State of the Union Address, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) offered a bold new policy initiative she called “Don’t Add, Don’t Spell.”

Rep. Bachmann called the proposal “a reflection of core Tea Party values” and said it would “deliver the American people from the tyranny of arithmetic, spelling, and punctuation.”

In addition to “Don’t Add, Don’t Spell,” Rep. Bachmann suggested slashing the Federal budget by eliminating nine of the first ten Amendments to the Constitution.

“I think you know which one I’d keep,” she chuckled, miming a Western gunslinger with her index fingers.

Rep. Bachmann’s odd onscreen appearance, in which she seemed to be staring off-camera for the duration of her speech, was initially blamed on “a squirrel that got into the studio and distracted her,” said one Tea Party official.

But the Minnesota congresswoman offered her own explanation: “I was looking off to one side because I was trying to read off Sarah Palin’s hand.”

In Washington, House Speaker John Boehner held a press conference after the President’s speech to declare, “This infernal week of civility is officially over.”

“The American people owe its representatives a huge debt of thanks,” Mr. Boehner added. “Tonight, each of us made the ultimate sacrifice any American can ever be called upon to make: sitting next to a person we despise.”

More birther stupidity from someone who hasn’t read or doesn’t understand the U.S. Constitution:

Arizona ‘Birther Bill’ Given Second Life By GOP Lawmaker

Judy Burges, a Republican state representative in Arizona, is breathing new life into a failed legislative attempt to force President Barack Obama to display his long-form birth certificate in order to get a place on the state ballot in 2012.

The so-called birther bill, which last year passed a vote in the Arizona House before being shelved by the state Senate, already has support from 30 cosponsors in both chambers this time around, Fox News reports.

According to the New York Daily News, the bill is meant to allay persistent theories that Obama was not, in fact, born in Hawaii, as a copy of his Certification of Live Birth states:

Burges’ HB 2544 would address each of these concerns by requiring any and all candidates to provide “an original long-form birth certificate that includes the date and place of birth, the names of the hospital and the attending physician and signatures of the witnesses in attendance.”

Any candidate wishing to appear on the ballot in Arizona would also be required by the bill to provide “a sworn statement attesting that the candidate has not held dual or multiple citizenship and that the candidate’s allegiance is solely to the United States of America.”

A number of other state lawmakers have reaffirmed a commitment to pass similar bills through their respective legislatures following widespread Republican wins across the country.

Texas state Rep. Leo Berman (R) has been one of the most vocal about his proposal, stating last year that his “bill is necessary because we have a president whom the American people don’t know whether he was born in Kenya or some other place.”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/26/arizona-birther-bill-judy-burges_n_814415.html

“Such Acts, records and judicial proceedings or copies thereof, so authenticated, shall have the same full faith and credit in every court within the US and its Territories and Possessions as they have by law or usage in the courts of such State, Territory or Possession from which they are taken.”

– Article IV, Section 1 of the United States Constitution which addresses the duties that states within the United States have to respect the “public acts, records, and judicial proceedings” of other states.

It could be. Good find. I hope Governor Abercrombie makes some kind of statement (or his spokesperson), even if it’s general, about his relationship with Evans, or his non-relationship. Either way, he has got to be p**sed at him. I am a sucker, but I feel sorry for Evans. I don’t know how he could not have seen all this coming. I wonder if he’ll get to keep his radio spots.

If adoptive parents in Hawaii request a new birth certificate with their names on it, Hawaii issues an AMENDED birth certificate. If Obama had been adopted, his COLB would say AMENDED on it.

http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/newbirthcert.html

Consider it demonstrated that Hawaii does it differently than Washington.

Of course, as far as Obama’s eligibility is concerned it doesn’t matter if his parents were Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Obama was born in Hawaii, end of story.

Look at the e-mail that was sent by old friend Gary Kreep….

To My Truth-Seeking Patriot Friend:

When he announced that he would produce Barack Hussein Obama’s Hawaiian birth certificate, newly inaugurated Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie, a political confidant of Mr. Obama, said that the “birth certificate issue will have ‘political implications’ for the next presidential election that we simply ‘cannot have.'”

Too bad Governor Abercrombie didn’t take the time to investigate and see if there was a long-form, doctor-issued birth certificate on file for Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. anywhere in the Hawaiian birth archive before making that statement. Because his search resulted in an admission that no long-form birth certificate for Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. appears to exist in Hawaii.

Finally, those Americans who were convinced that Abercrombie was going to produce what MILLIONS of Americans have been asking for—Obama’s long-form, original, doctor-witnessed birth certificate would suddenly appear and a million “birthers” would be embarrassed. That was then. This is now.

Governor Abercrombie suggested in a published interview that the long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health. Questioned by the media, he admitted that his search failed to produce the elusive birth certificate.

The United States Justice Foundation (USJF) has been hammering this question home for over two years. Either Barack Obama is a natural-born American citizen, or he is not! Either a legitimate Hawaiian birth certificate exists, or it does not! This is your fight. We win it, or we lose it, now. We need your financial support to finish this battle. Because of an Obama friend, we may be close to obtaining the truth. PLEASE DONATE your best possible gift to help us to derail Governor Abercrombie’s efforts to convince other States that they don’t have to ask Presidential candidates to produce documentation to prove that they are eligible to run.

The new Governor of Hawaii, Mr. Abercrombie, told the media that: “”What bothers me is that some people who should know better are trying to use this for political reasons. Maybe I’m the only one in the country that could look you right in the eye right now and tell you, ‘I was here when that baby was born.'” Notice that Abercrombie did not say that he saw either the Obamas, or their son, only that he was in Hawaii when Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., was born… somewhere.

The Hawaiian Governor told the HONOLULU STAR ADVERTISER that he was searching, within the Hawaii Department of Health, to find definitive records that would prove Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, because the continuing eligibility controversy could hurt Barack Obama’s chances of re-election in 2012.

Governor Abercrombie insists: “It actually exists in the archives, written down.”

However, he has NOT produced document number one—the actual, long form, birth certificate!

The United States Justice Foundation (USJF) has been hammering this question home for over two years. Either Barack Obama is a natural-born American citizen, or he is not! Either a legitimate Hawaiian birth certificate exists, or it does not! This is your fight. We win it, or we lose it, now. We need your financial support to finish this battle. Because of an Obama friend, we may be close to obtaining the truth. PLEASE DONATE your best possible gift to help us to derail Governor Abercrombie’s efforts to convince other States that they don’t have to ask Presidential candidates to produce documentation to prove that they are eligible to run.

Now let’s review what the Hawaiian Governor Abercrombie has promised. He will get to the bottom of this so it will not hurt Mr. Obama politically. He was going to, immediately release Mr. Obama’s Hawaiian birth certificate. YET, this long-form, hospital-generated, birth certificate has NEVER been produced! Do you know why?

It was, after all, one of the governor’s campaign promises. Other States expected this governor to find the birth certificate and, one way or another, solve the eligibility question: He didn’t, because he couldn’t find it. Abercrombie reminds me of Clara Peller. Remember her? She did the Wendy’s commercial: “Where’s the beef?” Where is Clara when we need her shouting: “Where’s the birth certificate?”

Could Mr. Abercrombie’s folly be the loose thread that begins the literal unraveling of the Obama stay in the Oval Office?

Acknowledging that Barack Obama, Jr., has not produced a long-form, doctor-witnessed, birth certificate, Neil Abercrombie recently said that he intends to produce and release Mr. Obama’s long-form, hospital issued, birth certificate from Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital. Governor Abercrombie added that he is upset, because several States are enacting legislation that will force Presidential candidates to document that they are eligible to run before their names can be placed on the ballot for the office of President of the United States.

THE GOVERNOR STILL CANNOT PRODUCE IT!!

If this document does not exist, as Barack Obama’s spending of a reported $2 million to block the efforts of many to get it seems to indicate, it begs the question: what is Governor Abercrombie going to produce? And, will the ink be dry on the document when he does?

In light of what is taking place in Hawaii, a million Clara Pellers should be screaming: “Where’s the birth certificate?” Remember: there was a reason why Barack Hussein Obama has spent a reported $2 million to conceal the history of his identity. All that the American people want is the TRUTH, not $2 million in rhetoric, “spin,” and legal “mumbo-jumbo.”

In fact, at the very least, the American people have a right to demand the truth, as the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees us—We, The People—the right to address our grievances to the government of the United States. Thus far, our government officials have violated the Constitution by refusing to listen to that grievance… and require that Barack Hussein Obama produce the documentation that the United States Constitution requires of him.

Sadly, it appears that the federal court system will continue to shield the truth. The lawsuits filed by a myriad of plaintiffs, including those that USJF has filed, funded, or otherwise supported (6 in all), demanding that the government listen to our grievance in a court of law, have run into “judicial roadblocks” in every case. The United States Justice Foundation has filed legal brief after legal brief, funded suit after suit (6, so far, including two that we are currently handling), yet the federal government continues to stonewall us.

Please help us use Governor Abercrombie’s faux paux get to the bottom of this issue. It is very possible that Mr. Obama is ILLEGALLY sitting as the “President” of the United States. That’s why I am emailing you today—to ask you to assist us with a financial DONATION to help us to get to the truth.

I know that I can count on you. Please CLICK the green Donation button here.

Thank you for your RESPONSE TODAY TO HELP USJF to get to the real truth about Barack Obama’s eligibility to serve as the Commander-in-Chief.

It’s not clear Hawaii does it differently than Washington. If the adoption took place at the time of birth, I don’t think the COLB would say “amended” on it, here.

Sarina,

More generally, the COLB is the document that the Hawai’i DOH provides people who request birth certificates – as such, it is due full faith and credit in all of the several states. It also satisfies the federal definition of a birth certificate. A certified copy of the COLB is prima facie proof of the information it contains in every US court including the SCOTUS. It is pretty much the gold standard for a ‘birth certificate’. Hope that helps.

As I said before, my birth certificate does not say ‘amended’ (it was issued a couple of weeks after my birth) and it has my adoptive parents names on it. The problem with what Freddy is saying is the lack of any evidence that President Obama was adopted at birth (or any other time), not the law (in my opinion, anyway).

I guess it depends on what they mean by “…held dual or multiple citizenship.” It doesn’t say whether it means by statute or by one exercising their right to citizenship of another country. President Obama had dual citizenship because of the Kenyan constitution but never claimed it.

Hi,It could be.Good find.I hope Governor Abercrombie makes some kind of statement (or his spokesperson), even if it’s general, about his relationship with Evans, or his non-relationship. Either way, he has got to be p**sed at him.I am a sucker, but I feel sorry for Evans.I don’t know how he could not have seen all this coming.I wonder if he’ll get to keep his radio spots.Just rhetorical, not trying to hype.

Personally, if Abercrombie was smart, he’d just move on and not even bother to respond to the story at all. A public figure needs to not come across as thin-skinned and easily distracted by something as small and meaningless as what some radio guy claims and then apologizes for. IMHO, He’ll show himself as less able to focus on his actual job if he so easily can be distracted and naively wades back into this latest splash in the Tempest in the Teapot that he foolishly initiated.

All I’m saying is if he doesn’t say anything further on the matter, I wouldn’t be surprised nor disappointed. It is time to let this over-hyped non-story die out and move on.

In terms of Evans, I highly doubt he would lose his job over this. He’ll get some mocking & teasing for sure and whatever credibility and clout he has has taken a hit, but its a really nothing but a trivial non-story in the long run and will likely fade into obscurity and be forgotten as people move on to other things.

Then again, radio is a weird business and I’ve seen local DJ’s be taken off the air suddenly for what seems like the silliest and most harmless of things, so who can say.

All I can give is my opinion that nothing he’s done will nor should lead to any loss of his job. All he did is make himself look foolish. Happens to lots of folks all the time. Take your lumps, learn from it and move on. That would be my advice to him.

Why? Why is it important?

You don’t know much about your birth, apart from what you’ve been told. Neither do I. Neither does anyone else. All we have to go on is what people and documents tell us, second hand. How can it be fraud if he believes it?

Assuming (and it’s a huge, massive assumption) that someone else was Obama’s biological father, he probably doesn’t know it. He put his COLB out there and that’s all he can do. That’s it. He’s incapable, as are we all, of knowing much more without DNA tests, which he has no reason to get.

Frankly, it’s an insult to even ask, since we’ve never demanded it of others. It couldn’t possibly make any difference, unless embarrassment is one of your goals. Because:

Even if (and there’s that big huge, massive if again) Obama somehow knows a different truth, it negates nothing – he’s still a NBC (unless you’re a de Vattelist, in which case you’re better off sticking with the “Obama Sr. is his dad” POV). He’s still the President of the United States – we don’t negate the presidency because they lie to get into office. If we did, we’d still be trying to replace George Washington.

Essentially, regardless of who his father was, he’s the president. And since legally, the person on his COLB is his father, all you can possibly hope for is to embarrass the guy.

I don’t agree with Obama’s policies, but find embarrassing him a silly, meaningless goal which won’t work and will likely backfire.

The COLB said “Certificate No” on the right of the documentand on the bottom too. Why this birther is saying is not a Certificate?

The reason that they’re saying it, is because if they actually acknowledged that the COLB is, as the Hawaii Department of Health puts it, “a valid Hawaii state birth certificate,” then they’d have to recognize that Barack Obama produced a valid certificate, and actually proved his place of birth. It’s mainly a sematics game. (Some birthers go a step further and try to set up a straw-man argument where they say that all we’ve seen is a picture of a COLB, and a picture is not eligible to be proof of anything. You don’t take a picture of a birth certificate into the DMV and show it as proof of the facts of birth.)

If they had to acknowledge that the COLB is a birth certificate, then they’d also have to acknowledge where the COLB says that Obama was born, and that would cut their strongest argument against them.

By the way, the Hawaii Department of Health calls it a Birth Certificate, and the United States Supreme Court recognizes it as a birth certificate. Tell them that, and see their face turn purple.

Sean:
How does it do that?

Easy…

Multiple countries recognize jus saguinus when born outside of the country. In fact, nearly every country does that… The U.S. does not require you to legally denounce foreign citizenships in order to keep U.S. Citizenship. So, you have this scenario…

So, let’s take this scenario…

Your grandparents immigrated from Italy. Before they naturalized as U.S. Citizens, your father was born to them. Your father is now an Italian Citizen, and an American Citizen. Neither one of them have to renounce either citizenship.

So, now your father marries, and then has you. You, by virtue of being born to an Italian Citizen, have Italian Citizenship. You also have the virtue of being born inside the United States, an American Citizen…

So, anybody born with this scenario, despite having generations upon generations of American-born people, would also have Italian Citizens being born to them. Therefore, they would not be eligible to be President, under this law.

As a side note, two people that might fall under this law of not being eligible to the Presidency: Antonin Scalia, and Samuel Alito. Antonin Scalia was born to a Sicilian Immigrant (father), and his mother was born to Italian Immigrants. Samuel Alito’s parents were Italian Immigrants… In fact, 5 out of the 9 U.S. Supreme Court Justices would be clearly ineligible.

Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer are Jewish, and therefore Israel recognizes them as citizens.

Samuel Alito and Antonin Scalia are Italian, and therefore ineligible.

That leaves John Roberts, Sonya Sotomayor, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas. Some how I doubt any of them would vote to uphold that portion of the law.

My cousin was living in Israel, because her father (my maternal uncle) had a one year lecture position at the Technion. While there, she turned 17.

Guess what – the day after she turned 17, she was drafted by the IDF. She was a US citizen born in New York, and had never formally applied for Israeli citizenship. The government there considered her a citizen.

That brings an interesting point. Since this bill deals with very Constitutional subjects, would it be quickly thrown to the Supreme Court?

If so, would this give the Supreme Court a opportunity to define “Natural Born Citizen” Constitutionally?

This bill makes me wonder what its true strategy is. Is it to embarrass Obama, raise doubt, cause controversy? Did they even expect it to pass as written?

Obama faitfull crowd won’t tell you that the rules have changed in Hawaii one year AFTER the first eligibility lawsuit was filed. The DOH will issue a COLB by default but if you need the original you have tp ask for it explicitly.

They will also not tell you that the registration number shown on Obama’s COLb does not fit the Date Filed (August 8, 1961), when compared to a legitimate long form birth certificate for Nordyke twins (born on August 5, 1961)

They will certainly not tell you that the first image of Obama’s COLB appeared on a left wing web site “Daily Kos”, it did not show the state seal (as legitimate copy should have) and the bottom folding crease is not visible. The registration number field was blacked out – which according to the same document invalidates it.

They cannot logically explain these deficiencies – they will call you names once you point out the problems wih Obama’s alleged birth certificate.

They also cannot explain why is it that it took two months to create a better versoion of that document. That version was shown to only two people from FactCheck – neither of them has seen a legitimate Hawaii certificate prior to that point.

Sean: If so, would this give the Supreme Court a opportunity to define “Natural Born Citizen” Constitutionally?

It would give it oppertunity, but most likely it wouldn’t get that far. The Supreme Court tends to take only 2 types of cases:

1. Constitutional Question where the lower courts (that’s Circuit Courts and State Supreme Courts) have reached different decisions on the law.

2. Constitutional Question where the lower court is in clear error in their reasoning.

What would likely happen with this case (abbriviated form) is this, if this even passes:

1. District Court would find law unconstitutional because of adding requirements to the Constitution’s requirements for President.

2. State of Arizona appeals law to 9th Circuit Court (or whatever)

3. Circuit Court upholds ruling of District Court, citing U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, among other cases.

4. State of Arizona appeals ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

5. U.S. Supreme Court denies writ of certartori without comment.

It wouldn’t even have to cite WKA if the AZ law passes as the bill formulates it.
Violation of the Full Faith And Credit Clause plus implicit imposition of requirements such as “born in a hospital” or “having lived in the US for 14 years immediately prior to the election” will be enough to toss that law.

Freddy N.:
It’s not clear Hawaii does it differently than Washington. If the adoption took place at the time of birth, I don’t think the COLB would say “amended” on it, here.

You don’t think? Apparently not.

First of all, the statute that document is referring to went into effect in 1981, so it is irrelevant to Obama’s birth certificate.

Second, the statute clearly states that names of the adoptive parents only go on a “supplementary birth certificate,” which is not issued until after DOH receives a certified copy of the adoption decree.

Obama was born on August 4, 1961. The birth certificate showing his parents to be Barack Obama and Stanley Ann Dunham was filed four days later. Somehow I doubt that it was possible to finalize an adoption in four days or less, especially when you consider that August 5 and August 6 fell on Saturday and Sunday, when the courts were closed. .

Third, Obama’s COLB does not say that it is an amended certificate or a supplementary certificate.

Fourth, there is no evidence that Obama was ever adopted.

Fifth, even if he was adopted, it doesn’t matter. He was born in Hawaii, so he is a natural-born citizen regardless of who his birth parents were.

You can arrange the adoption prior to the birth. It’s not clear if adopted children’s BC’s will say “amended”. It does matter if Obama is a colossal phony, at least to those who don’t blindly worship him.

In order to do that, the court would probably have to define what the current requirements are, which would require U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark. So, that case would make it into the discussion.

There would also be the Full Faith and Credit Clause, whether states can say, “No, I don’t accept this short-form, even though the Federal Government does. I want the long-form.” That would probably need other citations of cases.

Overall, the law would get hacked to pieces to basically be that the candidates have to submit a birth certificate (aka COLB) in order to run for President.

The ridiclous Arizona law is part of a larger problem-the insane US electoral system, which places national elections in the hands of local poo-bahs, and partisan ones at that. The result is a thicket of laws regarding ballot access for minor parties/independents (not constitutional qualifications, but nuts and bolts like petition signatures). There are different rules for how people are registered, who can vote (some states ban felons after release, some don’t) and how ballots are prepared and counted. The results, as we have all seen, are messes like Florida in 2000, the Minnesota Senate race in 2008 and many more. Who benefits? Only the lawyers who bill by the hour to fight these battles in court.

Contrast that with how things are done in Canada. Federal elections are run by a non-partisan, professional civil service agency, Elections Canada. They prepare voter rolls and candidate lists, using uniform nationwide criteria. They count the votes (watched by party representatives, but they are in charge), which is done by hand and gives results just as quick or quicker than in the US. Court fights are few and far between, because they do a good job and leave few grounds for challenges. By the way, any ciitizen who is 18 or older on election day can run for any office, with no distiinctions between born citizens and naturalized ones (nor who a candidate’s parents were, nor whether they were a home or hospital birth). Canada seems to manage quite well leaving the decision regarding who is fit for office up to the voters.

I don’t see a need to mention Wong Kim Ark. The bill does not define NBC, so why discuss it? The long form B.S. would get kicked out on the full faith and credit clause. The dual citizen section gets booted under US Term Limits (although I suppose you could argue that raises the questions of NBC, and you could back door it that way, but introducing WKA would be like trying to prove a negative…dual citizenship has never entered into the equation, and leave it at that, and see how Ariz comes back), and of course the 14 year prior also gets booted on US Term Limits as an added requirement, since historically the 14 years has not been interpreted to mean the last consecutive 14 years….not to mention, there is nothing in the act making sections severable, so once you hit full faith and credit, the whole thing is dead.

I’m glad that despite an estimated 2011 $1billion shortfall that the state legislature fully funds its attorneys and makes them defend legislation that any 1L at a decent law school can tell you doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in heck of surviving court challenge.

Actually, the argument defending it (if Arizona even tries to defend this POS) will be that the bill doesn’t impose new requirements upon the office of the Presidency, it just forces you to produce documentation that you are eligible, with the affidavit on that you have no foreign citizenship going to the definition of Natural Born Citizen. Legally, the court will take a look at U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark for that definition.

If the court was to deconstruct this law, and declare parts of it constitutional, and parts of it not-constitutional, they’d have to touch on the definition of Natural-Born Citizen (as well as the definition of resident for 14 years). That’s where U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark would come in.

Which is why places like WND lie. They know that the lie will be discovered almost immediately, but they also know that the core group of birthers and Obama haters will prefer to believe the lie than acknowledge the truth. Which is WND lied when they claimed that Abercrombie said he could not find the BC. The transcript shows that WND lied. Then Evans’ claim was such an obvious lie that he had to walk it back and issue the statement that the Governor never told him that. But the damage is done. Birthers will believe the lie because it fits into the Obama narrative they want to believe. Which is why you can never win the argument. Their hatred is not based on any sort of proof, it is based on Obama derangement. And when pressed for proof, they will react like our birther posters like Freddy or NC1 and ignore the evidence. They then attempt to try and make it personal by claiming that somehow you are being paid, or all of the evidence proves nothing. He is still guilty. Birthers believe that wild speculation is proof.

However, you seem to have a problem dealing with his popularity. Latest CNN poll on Obama’s job approval:Approve: 55%
Disapprove” 44%Read em and weep.http://pollingreport.com/obama_job.htm

If the mother is married to the adoptive father, then the paperwork could easily be set up prior to the birth. I’m not interested in Obama’s poll numbers, unlike you I don’t have an emotional investment in his popularity.

You’ve never adopted have you? They do a pretty thorough background check once they looked into the father’s background and see that he has another wife in Kenya they would see that that’s not conducive to the raising of a child and deny him.

The adoption papers can’t even be filed until the child is born. The adoption has to be done with the consent of the birth father.

A petition for relinquishment in Hawaii can be signed any time during the last trimester. However, the consent cannot be executed until after the child’s birth. After the child is born, the birth parents (or, in your scenario, the birth father) must submit a reaffirmation of the intention to relinquish. The adoption petition then has to be approved by the Hawaii Department of Human Serviices.

On top of that, it typically takes 2-3 months for an infant adoption in Hawaii to be finalized.

http://domestic-infant.adoptionblogs.com/weblogs/adopting-in-hawaii

And since the birth mother, Stanley Ann, was not relinquishing the baby, there would have been no urgency to try to push through the adoption in 24 hours. And in any event Hawaii DOH would first have to file a birth certificate which named the birth father.

So you entire scenario collapses under the weight of its inherent implausibility.

If you read your own link, you would see the “relinquishment may be signed at any time after the expectant mother’s sixth month of pregnancy”, meaning all the paper work would be in place, and the adoption approved prior to the birth. The exectution would then have been a simple matter once little Barry was born.

So I was trying to figure out which states only release short form certificates and came across something interesting. Arizona’s own Department of Health no longer issues Long forms to children born after 1989. So in 14 years a child running from Arizona would be disqualified under their birther bill

http://www.vitalchek.com/agency_info.aspx?t=birth&p=20245&s=loc

BIRTH LONG
A certified birth certificate that can typically be used for travel, passport, proof of citizenship, social security, driver’s license, school registration, personal identification and other legal purposes. The Birth Certificate – Long is available for events that occurred within the State of Arizona from 1903 to 1989.

Freddy is right guys. There is absolutely no doubt that Barack Obama was adopted. His real parents were Don Ho and Bette Midler. They met at a luau and had sex on the beach, but stardom was calling, so they gave up the child so they could continue to bring joy to our meager little lives.

My reading comprehension clearly is superior to yours.

The link says that the petition can be signed during the last trimester. It says nothing about approving an adoption prior to the birth. In fact, the adoption cannot, at a minimum, be approved until after the biological parent(s) submit a written “reaffirmation of their desires to relinquish” after the child is born. This is a common-sense requirement, because it is well-known that biological parents have been known to change their minds about putting a child up for adoption once the child is born.

However, by all means do not let facts interfere with your birther fantasies.

I posted this in response to a person that was ‘just asking why President Obama wouldn’t release his long form’ here – maybe Freddy or nc1 or a new sockpuppet can answer the questions I ask in response:

[To any ‘eligibility questioner’],

You ask, ‘why wont he?’ – I ask, ‘why should he?’. To try help you to understand my point of view (which I believe is similar to that of any US court), here is how I see events as having unfolded:

Questions were raised about then candidate Obama’s eligibility for office.[This was a perfectly reasonable thing to do.] As there was no question that he was 35 years of age and had resided in the US for 14 years, the only point that needed verifying was his birth on US soil – [there might be other circumstances which make a child a natural born citizen, but all Constitutional authorities agree that birth in the US is sufficient for natural born citizenship (excepting children of diplomats or invading armies – neither of which applies in this case)]. The natural choice to verify birth on US soil would be the document one received in response to a request to the state of Hawai’i for a ‘birth certificate’ – a COLB. The Obama campaign posted an image of this document on their website and invited media outlets to examine it. [This document was most likely obtained by the campaign from Hawai’i in 2007 for purposes of demonstrating US birth as necessary.] The authenticity of this document has been verified by the official statements of Dr. Fukino as well as her testimony to the Hawai’ian legislature where she confirmed the images posted on the web to be of President Obama’s birth certificate [a document, by the way, which would be accepted as proof of natural born citizenship in any court in the land]. The response to this was that within days there were people claiming to have evidence’ that these images were forged and making false accusations regarding the circumstances of his birth based on their faked evidence’ of fraud. Since we now know the images to be legitimate, we must conclude that people such as ‘Dr. Polarik’ and ‘techdude’ were telling lies about COLB in an effort to delegitimize a presidential candidate. Since these lies assumed that Dr. Dunham had somehow acted fraudulently (presumably by registering the birth under false pretenses [This doesn’t quite make sense, however, because had this been the case there is no reason that President Obama would have known about it or would have had any reason to alter any of the information on the COLB]), Dr. Polarik and techdude both told lies about the president’s dead mother in an effort to further a coup against the government of the United States and illegally oust the lawfully elected president from power (during wartime, no less). Is this appropriate behavior for American citizens? I don’t think so – and yet many eligibility advocates believe their lies even today and no one in the eligibility movement has shown the integrity to denounce them. In addition, some people questioning eligibility have spewed (and continue to spew) some of the most vile, bigoted, hate-filled seditious speech you could imagine all the while talking about what patriots they are. Why should the president give these people any additional information? Prior experience suggests that these people will just use it to make up more lies to use against him and that they will ignore any part of it which does not conform to their biases. You may be honest in saying that a long form birth certificate (at least one that conformed to your expectations) would satisfy you, but most of the people in the eligibility movement have made it clear that it would not satisfy them as to the president’s eligibility, so, I ask you:

Why should he?

Ultimately, eligibility wont play a role in the 2012 elections [This is all my opinion, but please remember it when it turns out to be true (I will admit it if it turns out that I’m incorrect, but I highly doubt that I’ll have to).] – the 2008 election was about who President Obama was and he answered that question to the satisfaction of a majority of voters – he has proved his eligibility and can confirm it with a document known to be in his possession. The 2012 election will be about the job President Obama has done – [the eligibility issue may be raised but the President will have no trouble getting on the ballot of all 50 states and the higher the profile of the eligibility issue, the better it will be for the president] – and judging from CNN’s latest poll, most Americans feel like President Obama is doing a pretty good job (55% approval/44% disapproval) [No modern president has failed to win re-election with an approval rating above 50%, by the way.] I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but the eligibility movement has foundered since its inception (in my opinion) because it turned away from the clarion call of the facts and thus has no good compass to determine which theories regarding eligibility have a shred of validity and which are based merely on lies. This has resulted in the widespread (throughout the eligibility movement, in any case) repetition of falsehoods to support the consensus [FALSE] assumption that President Obama is ineligible. You talk about judging people by their associations – fine. I’m not troubled by President Obama’s casual association with Bill Ayres years ago but I AM troubled by the eligibility movement’s association with people like ‘Dr. Polarik’ (liar), ‘techdude’ (liar), Tim Adams (a liar and an associate of racists), Dr. Orly Taitz (liar, incompetent lawyer, and bigot), Lucas Smith (forger, liar, and convicted felon), convicted felon Lakin (a cowardly ‘blue falcon’ who disobeyed the [LEGITIMATE*] orders of a Medal of Honor winner and in doing so put the heroic men and women fighting for us in Afghanistan at greater risk), Walter Fitzpatrick (former court-martialed Navy officer and current convict), and ‘Dr.’ Manning (felon, racist, and bigot) just to name a few… not to mention media outlets like World Net Daily and The Post and Email who see fit to routinely publish (but never retract) falsehoods regarding the president. Do you agree with all of the views of these people and organizations that the eligibility movement has associated itself with?

*CF Lakin’s orders were legitimate even if President Obama was born on Krypton like he once said…

You still haven’t established they had an actual friendship. On election day Ayers described the relationship like this: “Pal around together? What does that mean? Share a milkshake with two straws?” Ayers said in his first interview since the controversy began. “I think my relationship with Obama was probably like thousands of others in Chicago. And, like millions and millions of others, I wish I knew him better.”

“The more serious point is that Obama was asked once more to defend something that ought to be at the very heart of democracy: the importance of talking to many people in this complicated and wildly diverse society, of listening with the possibility of learning something new, of speaking with the possibility of persuading or influencing others. … In a robust and sophisticated democracy, political leaders, indeed, all of us, would seek out ways to talk with many people who hold dissenting, even radical ideas.”

Obama has continually been asked to defend something that ought to be at democracy’s heart: the importance of talking to as many people as possible in this complicated and wildly diverse society, of listening with the possibility of learning something new, and of speaking with the possibility of persuading or influencing others.
The McCain-Palin attacks not only involved guilt by association, they also assumed that one must apply a political litmus test to begin a conversation.

There was nothing more than a casual relationship. Not the friendship you try to describe.

Hawaii bill would charge $100 for Obama birth info

(AP) – 3 hours ago

HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii’s government would charge $100 for a copy of President Barack Obama’s birth records under a bill introduced in the state Legislature by five Democrats. The bill would change a privacy law barring the release of birth records unless the requester is someone with a tangible interest, such as a close family member or a court.

The measure hasn’t been scheduled for a public hearing, a required step before it can move forward. A decision on considering the bill will be made by the House’s Democratic leadership and committee chairmen.

The idea behind the measure is to end skepticism over Obama’s birthplace while raising a little money for a government with a projected budget deficit exceeding $800 million over the next two years.

“If it passes, it will calm the birthers down,” said the bill’s primary sponsor, Rep. Rida Cabanilla. “All these people are still doubting it because they don’t want the birth certificate from Obama. They want it from our state office.”

So-called “birthers” claim there’s no proof Obama was born in the United States, and he is therefore ineligible to be president. Many of the skeptics question whether he was actually born in Kenya, his father’s home country.

The Obama campaign issued a certification of live birth in 2008, an official document from the state showing the president’s Aug. 4, 1961, birth date, his birth city and name, and his parents’ names and races.

Hawaii’s former health director also has said she verified Obama’s original records. And notices were published in two local newspapers within days of his birth at a Honolulu hospital.

Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who was a friend of Obama’s parents and knew him as a child, said last month he wanted to release more of the state’s birth information about Obama. But he ended the effort last week when the state attorney general told him that privacy laws bar disclosure of an individual’s birth documentation without the person’s consent.
The new legislation to release records may run into similar legal problems because of Hawaii’s strong constitutional privacy protections, said Rep. John Mizuno, a co-sponsor of the bill.

“If people really want to confirm Barack Obama is born in Hawaii, that’s fine,” Mizuno said. “I don’t have a problem with looking at innovative ways to bring revenue to the state. The taxpayers deserve a break.”

The $100 fee would help offset the extra work by state employees who handle frequent phone calls and e-mails from people who believe Obama was born elsewhere, Cabanilla said.

But the number of birther requests has been declining from the 10 to 20 weekly inquiries received early last year, according to the Department of Health.

“Requests have decreased significantly over the years. Currently we receive anywhere from zero to five per week,” said department spokeswoman Janice Okubo.
The Health Department is still reviewing the bill, Okubo said.

House Health Committee Chairman Ryan Yamane didn’t immediately return messages seeking comment on whether he would hold a hearing on the bill.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater (Bob Ross):
You still haven’t established they had an actual friendship.On election day Ayers described the relationship like this: “Pal around together? What does that mean? Share a milkshake with two straws?” Ayers said in his first interview since the controversy began. “I think my relationship with Obama was probably like thousands of others in Chicago. And, like millions and millions of others, I wish I knew him better.”“The more serious point is that Obama was asked once more to defend something that ought to be at the very heart of democracy: the importance of talking to many people in this complicated and wildly diverse society, of listening with the possibility of learning something new, of speaking with the possibility of persuading or influencing others. … In a robust and sophisticated democracy, political leaders, indeed, all of us, would seek out ways to talk with many people who hold dissenting, even radical ideas.”Obama has continually been asked to defend something that ought to be at democracy’s heart: the importance of talking to as many people as possible in this complicated and wildly diverse society, of listening with the possibility of learning something new, and of speaking with the possibility of persuading or influencing others.
The McCain-Palin attacks not only involved guilt by association, they also assumed that one must apply a political litmus test to begin a conversation.There was nothing more than a casual relationship.Not the friendship you try to describe.

The Ayers connection was Obama’s entryway into Chicago politics. Of course he would want to downplay their friendship now.

Funny side note in a story about Rahm being placed back on Chicago’s mayoral ballet:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41291795/ns/politics-more_politics/
“More than two dozen people testified on the residency issue at an election board hearing in December. The three-day hearing got progressively stranger as attorneys gave way to Chicago residents who filed objections to the candidacy, including one man who asked Emanuel if he caused the 1993 siege at Waco, Texas. ”

Birthers- Don’t laugh at the poor fool who blamed Rahm for Waco. You laugh at him as we laugh at you- you are part of the same fringe nutters on the outside of the political process who expect everyone else to take your kook theories seriously. Meet your twin brothers.

Ah, the old Michelle Obama-Bernadine Dorhrn smear.

Bernardine Dohrn worked at Sidley Austin from 1984-1988.She couldn’t work as an attorney, because Illinois wouldn’t admit her to the bar because of her criminal record.

Michelle Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1988 and went to work at Sidley Austin that fall. At best, she and Dohrn worked there at the same time for a few months.

And do you know how many attorneys are in the Sidley Austin firm? 1700! The chances that Michelle Obama and Bernadine Dohrn were even aware of each other at Sidley Austin is extremely slim.

Nothing to mislead about Sidley Austin is a big firm from their own website

Sidley is a global law firm, with approximately 1600 lawyers in 17 offices. We are privileged to serve clients across the entire spectrum of law, from complex transactions to “bet the company” litigation to cutting-edge regulatory issues.

We describe here, in detail, our practices, our industries and our community commitments that continue a tradition of more than 140 years and that define and distinguish our firm.

She worked there from 1984 to 1988

Again from the sidley Austin website
http://www.sidley.com/ourfirm/offices/office.aspx?office=1

. More than 500 lawyers in the Chicago office work on a broad range of litigation, transactional and regulatory matters.

You do know there are different divisions of lawyers within the Chicago office right?

This is the building Sidley Austin is based in: http://www.hines.com/toolkit_images/Project%20Photos/One%20South%20Dearborn/One%20South%20Dearborn_lres_web.jpg

They take up multiple floors. It is more than possible for two lawyers out of 500 not to know each other. I work for a company of 200 people I don’t know everyone who works there. The CEO doesn’t know all the people who work there. Now are you stupid or just willfully ignorant

How does the vanishingly small possibility that he was the subject of an instant adoption have anything to do with his eligibility for the office of President? How does the FACT that his father was a bigamist have anything to do with his eligibility for the office of President?

The answer to both questions is absolutely nothing. Zero. Nada. Nil.

Yet you don’t attack the President for the FACT of his birth circumstance, you attack him for the FANTASY speculation about a vanishingly tiny possibility, about which there is enormous evidence against.

Well anyway, perhaps some legal beagles here, lawyers, police, clerks and so on, who know all the ins and outs of crime, might enlighten me on some of the finer points of this high crime and felony.

As near as I can tell, Obama has committed fraud, perjury, obstruction of justice, whatever signing a presidential order without any authority or jurisdiction to do it is called, being a usurper and so forth. And those who know/knew about it conspiracy to defraud and obstruct justice, and various misprisons of felonies

This is so huge, I know there are more felonies he can be charged with.

Barack Hussein Obama (or whatever his aka names are) CANNOT prove he is a natural born citizen if cannot produce a real birth certificate and that is sufficient to impeach AFTER he is arrested and charged with the crimes he has committed, along with all who aided and abetted him.

@The Real Bob: Impeachment is what you do to legitimate officials in legally held offices. Obama is a usurper and ineligible to hold that office, his mere presence in the office is an act of treason, as he knew perfectly well (being a constitutional scholar *coff-coff*) that he was ineligible to seek that office. He should be removed from the office in handcuffs and set before a military tribunal for the crime of high treason. Add to the list Nancy Pelosi for her role/derelictionof duty as well as for aiding and abetting and giving aid and comfort to this domestic enemy. Investigations forthwith with all major govt. players in this fraud. Clean the whole damn govt. of these vermin that covered for this crime.

First time in history that a race meeting was called off due to kangaroos! Aussies are pretty serious about their horse races, and they don’t get called off or even delayed for the most dire of circumstances.

The only other time entire meetings have been called off, to my recollection, was after an equine flu epidemic. Callaghan Park Race Course in Rockhampton Queensland is shut due to the floods and there are probably several country courses that are shut as well, but nobody is showing up on the day expecting races to go ahead.

I find it ironic that Freddy N. (the now-banned racist troll) says he knows that Obama doesn’t go to church because he reads newspapers, but somehow Freddy N. managed to not see all the articles that mentioned Obama was born in Hawaii and has a valid COLB.

A. Freddy N. has confirmation bias, like all birthers, truthers, etc.
B. Freddy N. only reads Stormfront news and similar garbage.
C. All of the above.

First Black Elected to Head Harvard’s Law Review
http://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/06/us/first-black-elected-to-head-harvard-s-law-review.html
First Black Elected to Head Harvard’s Law Review
“BOSTON, Feb. 5 — The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.

The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago’s South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.”

Why would Obama lie about his birthplace in 1990? Was he already planning his Presidential run 18 years in the future? Was the New York times printing lies because they were already afraid of the power Obama would wield 18 years from the article’s publication?

Oh, and aren’t the birthers always saying crap like “his whole life is a mystery”, “he came out of nowhere”, etc?

As someone posted earlier…and its about as clear, truthful and legal as anyone can explain….there is NO birth certificate that ANY official has seen naming obama sr as the birth father of obama II, the document DOES NOT EXIST. Unless obama has copy of the birth certificate from the hospital there are NO other copies one could obtain per adoption laws. As well, there are no birth certificates with the name barack obama II since he ceased to exist when the adoption was filed with the county recorders office. End of story.

The following explains for the first time why Obama is hiding his records.

This is a MUST READ.

__________________________________________________

Background:
We know that Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. Aside from his half-sister Maya stating so publically, we know from the Stanley Ann/Lolo 1980 divorce documents that “the parties” were the parents of one child under 18 [Maya] and one child over 18 but still dependent on the parties for his education [Barry]. The divorce was filed/granted in Hawaii. That Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro is not in the realm of speculation; it is fact.

None of we bloggers/commentors know with certainty that Barack Obama of Kenya sired Barack Obama II. There is considerable doubt, starting with the boy’s name being designated with the honorary “the Second” (II), rather than the sire-to-son “Junior” – specifically, the boy was named “for” Barack Obama of Kenya, rather then “after” him, indicating that Obama was the right race, at the needed time, and willing. Whether it was BO of Kenya, Frank Marshall Davis, the milkman, or “unknown”, IF our little Barry was truly born in a Honolulu hospital there was a long form, official with raised seal, signed by attending physician certificate of birth – and it was filed in the normal manner at the Department of Health. Where it remained – UNTIL BARRY WAS ADOPTED BY LOLO SOETORO.

I know the following from personal experience:

In an adoption procedure such as Lolo of Barry, a petition is filed, hearings are held, privately, before a family court judge and court recorder, adoption is approved, and Court Orders are written which spell out the remaining requisite procedures:

A brand new, pristine long form certificate of birth is filled out with all of the data from the original birth certificate. It is filled out exactly as the original with two exceptions: on the pristine document the name of the baby’s father is “Lolo Soetoro”, and his race is [whatever Lolo’s race was].

Enter now the LAW: the signing and filing of the Court Orders does three things in the Law: (1) Lolo Soetoro is the actual – not “step” – ACTUAL father of the boy Barry, who is now Barry Soetoro; (2) as proscribed by the government of Indonesia, the father Lolo’s Indonesian citizenship is conferred onto Barry; (3) whatever man was named on the original birth certificate as father, in the eyes of the law in relation to the child, does not exist – and never did exist. In the eyes of the law, Lolo Soetoro conceived Barry. Chiseled. In. Stone.

The next step – because above all, the child is to be protected from any person or occurrance which could cause him distress, or could in any way breach his and his parents’ privacy – all records relating to the adoption are sealed, under Court Order. “All” records means ANY and ALL papers, records, memos, files, filings, recordings, transcripts of proceedings, etc, and most importantly – the ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE. In the eyes of the law, that certificate does not, and never did, exist. The Certificate of Birth – the “long form” – which identifies Lolo Soetoro as Barry’s father IS the ORIGINAL birth certificate. It is the ONLY one on file at the HDOH. Forever.
Unless someone ELSE petitions the court and adopts Barry – in which case yet another “original” birth certificate would be generated.

Regarding the various staff at the Hawaii Dept. of Health, who have made tortured, prevaricating attempts to do Barry’s bidding — any statements or remarks they have made about having personally seen, touched, patted, or swooned over a document as being Obie’s “original birth certificate” has to be in reference to the only one on file – naming Lolo as father. It appears they are dancing for the media and following instructions which could have come only from Barry. The birth records are not public information; FOIA does not apply. The DOH staff are not at liberty to peruse those files; they can only look, handle if required by the job – which means if the “owner” files a request for a certified copy. There was a report during the ‘08 campaign that Barry had petitioned the Hawaiian court for his on-file birth certificate and related records of copies requested over the years, etc, to be sealed. It would be out of the ordinary – but the Chicago way means such requests are likely to be approved.

As for the sealed adoption records – anyone poking around there, and that means ANYone – would be committing a criminal act. Last I knew, such files were still actually sealed with a huge blob of wax.

All things considered, best guess is that Barry refuses to produce his long form birth certificate – and is willing to spend $$million$ to keep it hidden because that one document shows the truth which would reveal layers upon layers of his lies about his life, activities, and travels. Instead of peeling an onion from the outside>in, Barry’s birth certificate Waterloo begins at the center of the onion – right there at the tear-making core – with the fact of his being adopted by Lolo and thus being a citizen of Indonesia.

Indonesia doesn’t permit dual citizenship, so the Indonesian citizen son of Indonesian Lolo had to have an Indonesian citizen passport. Why his mother had to file for an amendment to remove Barry from travelling on her passport. As a US citizen he could be on hers, but his US citizenship was forsaken for the marriage to Lolo. No problem for a woman who didn’t love her native country anyway – or for the son she dutifully trained to reflect her distaste for America. No problem for him, that is, until he decided to go into politics. Suddenly that Indonesian citizenship and it’s trickle-down useage in his life became a thorn. He wanted to fundamentally change our precious country, and to do so required masses and masses of lies and cover-ups. No problem – just haul out the Chicago way, and the tactics of Chicago’s favorite son, Alinsky. Not working, however – bloggers, Freepers! – and Barry’s thorn of deceit has turned into a festering boil that’s rapidly reaching the point where it will be lanced.

I still haven’t gotten an answer to this from anyone I’ve asked. What do YOU think would happen if you could prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the birth certificate was attested to by a relative?

You know what they call a birth certificate attested to by a relative? Prima favor evidence of all the facts contained therein!

So, you’re in the EXACT same position you were in before learning that. You STILL have to present evidence that Obama was born somewhere else.

And there, you’ve got nothing that passes the smell test, much less anything that could be introduced into evidence.

So, why are you wasting time on something that doesn’t actually advance your case? Why aren’t you in Africa doing a deposition of Grandma with her and the translator on the record and under oath? Where’s the deposition of the Kenyan officials to determine on what basis they made their misstatements? Has anyone re-interviewed Maya?

That you guys are fixated on the stuff you can’t get and ignoring other sources of potential evidence suggests that the birth certificate had value to you only undisclosed. The obtainable evidence would simply confirm what Obama has said.

You really wonder if there actually is a birther with enough brain cells to make up an explanation that is not so utterly removed from things such as “facts” or “reality”.

Probably this poster has never heard of filings under seal in a civil court case; if he really wants to claim these filings “do not exist in the eye of the law”, I wonder why case parties file them in the first place…

Back to adoption in particular, of course those records still exist, both physically and “in the eyes of the law”.

For example, Minnesota has this to say about the original (pre-adoption) birth certificate:

“A child, age 19 or older who was adopted, may request a non-certified copy of the original birth record.”

I wonder how Minnesota can issue a non-certified copy of something which legally does not exist…

It just goes to show, no birther story can withstand scrutiny for more than one strong glance and 2 minutes of Google research…

> Last I knew, such files were still actually sealed with a huge blob of wax.

Greg: I still haven’t gotten an answer to this from anyone I’ve asked. What do YOU think would happen if you could prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the birth certificate was attested to by a relative? You know what they call a birth certificate attested to by a relative? Prima favor evidence of all the facts contained therein!So, you’re in the EXACT same position you were in before learning that. You STILL have to present evidence that Obama was born somewhere else. And there, you’ve got nothing that passes the smell test, much less anything that could be introduced into evidence. So, why are you wasting time on something that doesn’t actually advance your case? Why aren’t you in Africa doing a deposition of Grandma with her and the translator on the record and under oath? Where’s the deposition of the Kenyan officials to determine on what basis they made their misstatements? Has anyone re-interviewed Maya?That you guys are fixated on the stuff you can’t get and ignoring other sources of potential evidence suggests that the birth certificate had value to you only undisclosed. The obtainable evidence would simply confirm what Obama has said.

Proving that Obama lied about birthplace would be a non-story only for his faithfull supporters.

Exposing lies and COLB forgery would be a first step in the investigation where he was actually born. Reporting birth as an unattended one does not necessarily mean that this was a truthful report.

His mother’s passport records (those stored in the archive prior to 1965) and consular reports of foreign country births would tell us whether she returned to the USA with a newborn or not.

The fact that one cannot obtain those records under the FOIA act is highly suspicious. If you were right and the official birthplace story were true – there would be no need to hide her passport records.

Well, we do know that your official birthplace story (Kapiolani) is wrong – Abercrombie confirmed it by saying that his investigators found only the “written down” thing.

If step-grandma Sarah were to be interviewed in a situation in which she felt no duress from either side, and were to assert that she was present at Barack Obama II’s birth, you’d have a starting point.

To be perfectly fair and aboveboard about such an enterprise, someone trusted by Obama’s supporters would need to be present to make sure that the birther representatives wouldn’t stack the deck.

Now you have 2 assumptions: 1. That he wasn’t born in Hawaii. 2. That he knows that. If a parent fraudulently registered the birth of child there is a very good chance they would not tell the child. Are you claiming that the President should remember the first moments of his life? No, he like you, only knows what his parents told him and what the couments say. You would need to prove he knew.

nc1: Reporting birth as an unattended one does not necessarily mean that this was a truthful report

Nor does it necessarily mean it was untruthful. The legal buurden is on those who wish to dispute an offiicial record. Good luck proving fraud 50 years later when all involved are dead..

nc1: The fact that one cannot obtain those records under the FOIA act is highly suspicious

Not at all. This is what we call in science an uncontrolled experiment. You would need to request a broad set of similar records from that period and show me that all were available except Ms Dunham’s before I would see even an inkling of suspicion.

Now if I wanted to prove birth in Kenya, Kenya is where I would go. Are you afraid to go there? I haven’t been, but i know many people who have and they all enjoyed it. Bon voyage….send us a postcard.

You need to reread the “written down” statement from few days ago. Abercrombie was set on ending the birther controversy – yet he did not say that his investigators found the long form birth certificate.

He could have said that the original hospital certificate is on file but could not be released to the public due to privacy concerns. Instead, he mentioned the “written down” thing as the evidence of Hawaii birth.

There is no need to interview anybody in Africa – relevant documents are in the USA archives.

Nordyke certificates and Okubo’s statements tell us that the COLB posted on the FactCheck is a forgery: Date Filed and the registration number do not fit. An honest investigation would show it.

Refusal from DoH to confirm that registration number 10641 is part of Obama’s birth registration INDEX (by law it is a public data) is another nail in the coffin of the official birthplace story.

Proving that the cert is family-attested doesn’t prove that he wasn’t born in Hawaii.

It proves that the cert is family-attested.

It is still a government-certified document, with the power of a State-affixed seal. If Obama came into court with a family-attested cert, and nothing else, you would STILL have to present evidence that he was born somewhere else.

Not even showing that Obama lied about being born in Kapiolani hospital would get you beyond the prima facie value of the cert, since that’s an ancillary issue, not contained on either the COLB or the cert (in this hypo).

nc1: The fact that one cannot obtain those records under the FOIA act is highly suspicious. If you were right and the official birthplace story were true – there would be no need to hide her passport records.

So, go find other sources of evidence.

What airlines flew to Africa in 1961? Their records aren’t protected by Hawaiian privacy laws, are they? What pilots flew there? Surely a very young woman flying with a new-born from Africa would be pretty memorable, wouldn’t it?

nc1: Abercrombie confirmed it by saying that his investigators found only the “written down” thing.

Quote me exactly what Abercrombie said that makes you think he ONLY found the “written down” thing.

Do you know what a quote is? It’s where you write down EXACTLY what someone says, and you put it in quotation marks.

(Here’s a hint: Even if you were able to quote Abercrombie saying, “We only found the ‘written down’ thing,” that wouldn’t prove that something else didn’t exist. Can you figure out why? You’d need one more piece of information. Can you guess what? This isn’t even a difficult logic problem, nc.)

You guys fail basic logical reasoning.

1. You can’t get them. You’ve tried for years, and failed.
2. The DoH has said, explicitly, that Obama was born in Hawaii, so even if you could get the documents, the absolute best you can hope for is that the cert was simply family-attested.
3. A family-attested cert is just as valid for proving Hawaiian birth as a hospital birth.
4. A family-attested cert doesn’t get you discovery.

Go the Hawaiian OIP and look up their procedure for requesting information under their Uniform Information Practices Act. Request the information you seek. They’ll deny it. You appeal. They’ll deny your appeal. You have now exhausted your administrative remedies. Go to court and argue that they are misinterpreting the Hawaiian statute on point. Then, since you are the only one who truly understands Hawaiian law, you’ll win on the force of your stellar arguments.

If they are not worried there will be no problem getting the copy of the original birth certificate. The same goes for the copy of the original handwritten birth registration index.

Your credibility will certainly not increase when you quote me incorrectly. I never mentioned 10 years cumulative birth index list. I wrote that DoH offered to sell 5 year birth registration index.

We have Okubo saying one thing to AP writter Mark Niesse ($98.75 for birth index list for 1961) while DoH returning money when people actually tried to purchase it.

Funny, this is one of my arguments when I challenge Obama supporters and their faith in government officials telling the truth:

The CIA director claimed that the case was a “slam dunk”.
Secretary of State gave a persuasive presentation to the UN including photos of places where readily deployable WMDs were stored (we were told).

Yet, we should trust Fukino without any verification that she was telling the truth. How difficult is it to present the evidence that the official birthplace story is true?
Where is Obama’s equivalent of Nordyke certificates?

It is supposed to be a trivial verification (assuming that Obama told the truth), there is no need to invade a foreign country to verify his birthplace.

Note To RW Bloggers: Could Obama Derangement Syndrome Cost You Your Day Job?
January 28, 2011 2:22 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

I’m surprised this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often, as more and more conservative bloggers seem to take leave of their senses in order to criticize any and everything that the Obama White House does. But as TPM notes, a prominent conservative blogger, and practicing attorney, Paul Mirengoff at Powerline really stepped in it when he recently mocked the Tucson memorial where Obama spoke, only to be quickly rebuked by his own law firm.

Specifically, the Obama-hating Mirengoff belittled an opening prayer at the Tucson memorial service given by a Native American [emphasis added].

As for the “ugly,” I’m afraid I must cite the opening “prayer” by Native American Carlos Gonzales. It was apparently was some sort of Yaqui Indian tribal thing, with lots of references to “the creator” but no mention of God. Several of the victims were, as I understand it, quite religious in that quaint Christian kind of way (none, to my knowledge, was a Yaqui). They (and their families) likely would have appreciated a prayer more closely aligned with their religious beliefs.

But oops! From TPM:

Mirengoff is a partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, a law firm with an American Indian Law and Policy department.

Which lead to this statement form the firm’s chairman:

We sincerely apologize for the blog entry posted by Akin Gump partner Paul Mirengoff on his personal blog, powerlineblog.com.

Breitbart’s Big Journalism: Canceling Bristol Palin’s Speech = Jim Crow
January 29, 2011 10:10 am ET by Simon Maloy

Bristol Palin, the daughter of ex-governor and Fox News contributor Sarah Palin, was scheduled to speak as part of a panel at Washington University’s Sexual Responsibility Week. The appearance, however, has since been canceled after students protested Palin’s involvement and objected to her fee for speaking at the event. According to a Washington University statement, the decision was “mutually agreed” upon.

Andrew Breitbart’s BigJournalism.com, however, viewed the cancellation of Palin’s paid appearance at a university seminar as akin to the Southern opposition to school desegregation. BigJournalism contributor Jonathon Burns wrote in apparent seriousness (emphasis added):

And after a day or two of protest attacks against SHAC, the [student union] capitulated and announced they had axed Bristol from the panel, because, “the controversy surrounding her appearance would overshadow the event’s intended message of sexual responsibility.”

So the message is, “Don’t bother coming, Bristol, or we’ll shout you down and riot because WE DON’T WANT YOU HERE!” This seems eerily similar to Southern intimidation and oppression of blacks during attempts to desegregate. It’s reminiscent of a scene from Forrest Gump, where a young black girl is harassed by a young white student and knocks her books out of her hands.

Millions of college students have been indoctrinated with the importance of diversity — so long as that diversity includes approved races, ethnicities, political ideologies, backgrounds, etc. If you’re conservative, from a rural area, and you’re supporting abstinence, well, let’s just say that kind of diversity isn’t desired.

No, instead of supporting diversity, the celebrated ideal of college land, let’s applaud and bow to bigotry.

The specific flavor of “bigotry” on display here, according to Burns, is “ethnicism” and “urbanism,” which he defines as “bigotry against all things non-urban.”

I’m not sure what’s sillier about this: that BigJournalism apparently thinks lucrative speaking gigs are a civil right, or that their understanding of the Jim Crow South is gleaned from Forrest Gump.

No in Edison’s case if you’ve had numerous unsuccessful attempts to create a light bulb… Just steal someone else’s work and call it your own. 80 plus failures reflect badly on their legal arguments.

They have and it’s quite simple. It’s an adversarial system. In plain English, what that means is that an actual candidate who believes another candidate is ineligible can challlenge their place on the ballot before the election.

If you wish to see such a system in action, watch the Super Bowl next weekend, When the referees make a call, it can be challenged by the opposing coach before the next play is run. When that happens, the officials will look at the play again from all angles and if the film shows they are wrong they will reverse the call. However, challenges made too late or by a fan in the cheap seats will be ignored. You guys aren;t even in the cheap seats, you are watching at home on TV. And in this case the film backs the referees.

If you wish to see such a system in action, watch the Super Bowl next weekend, When the referees make a call, it can be challenged by the opposing coach before the next play is run. When that happens, the officials will look at the play again from all angles and if the film shows they are wrong they will reverse the call. However, challenges made too late or by a fan in the cheap seats will be ignored. You guys aren;t even in the cheap seats, you are watching at home on TV. And in this case the film backs the referees.

If you want the stick with your football analogy what happened to the booth review?

Why did Abercrombie even bother looking into documents on file if the film backs referees?

You asked about “legal minds in black robes”. Abercronbie is a fool and irrelevant unless he runs for President (fat chance). It is up to real live candidates to challenge during the game. The 2008 game has been over for more than 2 years. There will be another one in < 2 years, but I suspect the results will be the same. Since you are not a coach or a player, you have no red flag to throw, so your opinions are meaningless.

nc1: Booth review?

You aren’t a player or a coach. You aren’t entitled to squat.

You asked about the legal procedure to challenge the eligibility of a candidate and you have your answer. You have to be a player or a coach (i.e,, you have to get off your fat ass and run for President yourself). And you have to file the challenge at the proper time (before your fellow citizens cast their votes). Alan Keyes could challenge Obama’s placement on the ballot (at least in those states where he himself was on it), but for reasons I don’t understand, he waited until after the election. Must have been the great advice he got from his crack legal/dental team.

If you don’t like the football analogy, here’s a legal one. Suppose you and I crash our cars into each other. I can sue you and you can sue me. However, Doc can’t sue because he drove by and was distressed by seeing the accident. And even you and I can’t sue if we wait 3 years to do so. And even if I sue in time, I can’t expect that the judge will let me subpoena the original records of your driving test, to be sure you really earned your license. If you show a valid license, that’s it.

This is how the US legal system works. If you don’t like it, go elsewhere. You might try Japan, because I think you birthers would fit right in with the otaku.

nc1: What FOIA State Department memo are you talking about? Is it the one that claims passport record destruction?

No, I’m talking about the 1974 memo to the file disclosed to Strunk where it states that Lolo Soetoro’s stepson was a citizen of the United States by virtue of his birth in Hawaii.

Is there a date or a signature on that memo? Any links?

Call me back when they release SAD’s passport documents prior to 1965 – if Obama faithfull were correct there is no possibility that she returned from abroad with a newborn child.

It is a conspiracy to hide her passport documents – people should not have to sue the government to obtain documents that are in public domain.

Just because a few delusional people see a “conspiracy” around every corner does not a conspiracy make.

People who sue the government based on unfounded and purely speculative paranoid conspiracies have only set themselves up for failure. When you are suing based soley on the demons within your own head, reality is unlikely to have answers to your imaginary world.

Thus far there is no proof that she had a passport before 1965. No birther has been able to prove this.
