When you have this on NPR before is was scrubbed, there are questions.



When you have this in the Kenyan newspapers when he became Senator of Illinois back in 2004, there are questions.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

When you have this from a random travel publication, there are questions.

Had TheWon delivered his famous speech at the Democrat National Convention when this was published? Maybe some things changed after he made that speech. I bet lots of things did.

More to the point a FOIA request for his mother's passport would put the matter to rest. Where mama was on that fateful day so was baby BO.

All born after the US became an independent country were legal natural born citizens and the voters in their states accepted it up to the time they took office.


Let me put it this way: Did Carter and Bush have to produce the long form of their BC or not? Is there a law that says the short form is not enough?

How nice for you.

Too bad it has nothing to do with Presidential eligibility.

Life is just filled with little disappointments.

Of course they didn't. They had a history and a life that was WELL DOCUMENTED, a paper trail so to speak from their youth to adulthood.

Obama had/has none of that. None of his "paperwork", documents, school records, college records, law application....NONE of that has been released.

Do you DENY this?

If he filled out a scholarship application, stating he was a citizen of Indonesia, that would confirm he is a liar at the very least and ineligible.

What do you think of the 3 liberals as well as the Gov of Hawaii reopening the can of worms?

And this ^^^^ is just one example of why it would serve no good purpose for the President to respond further to any of these birthers, and why producing THE Long-Form version of his birth certificate will not make any difference at all.

That is not really the point. Those documents you mentioned do not prove anything, either, especially not one's birth place. Nor can I confirm or deny that Obama has not released them, or that Bush and Clinton did.

To me it's quite obvious that those accusations only serve as a means to get rid of a president a third of the population doesn't want. If Americans were happy with his work, they would not even think of challenging his birth status. Since the election results were clear, unlike with with the Gore vs Bush election, there is no point in challenging the results themselves. Thus the BC crap.

Then they will demand carbon dating of the certificate to prove once and for all that he is indeed not a time traveler.
