Obama's birth certificate deserves more scrutiny

Speech is censored in America!

Many question Obama's citizenship, believing either he was born in Kenya or he lost it when adopted by his Indonesian stepfather.

The Pew Research Center found that "a plurality, 39 percent, of self-identified Republicans" http://washingtonindependent.com/54057/pew-poll-39-percent-of-republicans-want-more-coverage-of-obamas-citizenship) believe there has been "too little" coverage of "allegations that President Obama was not born in the United States."

At Delaware Congressman Mike Castle's town hall meeting, the audience became defiant over the question of President Obama's birth certificate. Rep. John Sullivan (R-Okla.), Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Rush Limbaugh, and others either questioned or denied that Obama has a valid birth certificate.

Congress has a bill requiring future presidential candidates to provide a birth certificate. One spokesman said, "Folks have brought the issue up, and É American citizens have a right to have answers." Yet billboard companies refuse to sell space for "Where's the birth certificate?" Newspapers refuse not only to print letters about the subject but also to sell ads about it. E-Bay deleted ads for a supposed Kenyan birth certificate multiple times. That's censorship.

Obama worshippers don't want opposition. Do they fear the truth? What is the truth? McCain produced his birth certificate. Why doesn't Obama?

ALLEN MARSH, Nampa


I know some on this board have put this story to rest, so why does it still come up?

"a plurality, 39 percent, of self-identified Republicans"

Since only 21% of Americans even admit to being a Republican today, that means only about 7% of all AMERICANS believe that President Obama wasn't born in HAWAII.  I'd guess that those 7%  either have very low IQ levels or are mentally ill.

I would have to disagree in this instance. Alan Marsh is very intelligent. Unfortunetly his area of expertise is religious propaganda.

 LOL!

And, I believe at least half of those are over on myway political board.

 

America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.

Barack Obama
Acceptance Speech at Democratic Convention Aug 28th 2008

Actually, since Obama was a child of an American mother, it makes no difference where he was born, he is still an American citizen. 

But, still, the birthers have not shown a copy of a passport where his mother traveled from Hawaii to Kenya (and back) in order to have the birth registered in Hawaii, and not Kenya...(which doesn't make any difference anyway).

Of course, maybe the "natural born" clause of the Constitutional requirement means that it has to be a vaginal delivery, and not a Caeserian Section...  shades of "MacBeth"..  but, I kind of doubt it.

Jim...

   Amazing isn't it?  It's just like the people who are *still* grumbling away about a "rigged" election over 9 years ago.  Looks like the birthers get to play for awhile longer.

gus.

 

Unfortunetly his area of expertise is religious propaganda.

Then, imo, that makes him INSANE.....and I did mention that they could be mentally ill.

"...so why does it still come up..."

I guess because they know it will get you incensed again?

That's not a valid argument...if "birthers" ^ could get their hands on a passport, I would think they could get the birth certificate.  (which doesn't make any difference anyway).

 

^ of which I am not.
