Palin: Obama Birth
Certificate Is A Fair Question |
Politico is
reporting the following exchange between Sarah Palin and
conservative talker Rusty Humphries.
Humphries: "Would you
make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?" (around 9 minutes
into this video).
Palin: "I think the public rightfully is still making it an
issue. I don't have a problem with that. I don't know if I
would have to bother to make it an issue, because I think that members
of the electorate still want answers," she replied.
Humphries:
"Do you think it's a fair question to be looking at?"
Palin:
"I think it's a fair question, just like I think past association and
past voting records -- all of that is fair game," Palin said. "The
McCain-Palin campaign didn't do a good enough job in that area."
Palin suggested that the questions were fair play because of "the weird
conspiracy theory freaky thing that people talk about that Trig isn't my
real son -- 'You need to produce his birth certificate, you need to
prove that he's your kid,' which we have done."
"Maybe we can
reverse that," she said, returning to Obama's birth certificate,
describing the type of thinking involved with a word that isn't clear in
the audio.
The Politico
article also contains an observation that McCain's campaign counsel has
said the campaign did look into the birth certificate question and, like
every other serious examination, dismissed it.
Well, of course
they did.
John Sidney McCain III was born at the Colon Hospital,
located at Avenida Melendez and 2nd Street, Manzanillo Island, City of
Colon, Republic of Panama. The time of birth on the birth
certificate issued by Panama Railroad Company (which owned the Colon
Hospital) was 5:25 PM and the day and date of birth was Saturday, August
29, 1936 -- John McCain was born outside the United States and fails to
meet the test of
Jus Soli.
McCain was also
ineligible,
and as such could not attack Obama's eligibility. McCain's political
enemies even
provided
him with cover -- further compromising his ability to challenge
Obama's eligibility. He,
and his campaign, couldn't say a word.
Obama is a co-signer of
Leahy's
resolution, and in doing so admitted that one needs two American
citizen parents to be eligible for POTUS. Obama knows he is
ineligible to be CiC.
It was John McCain who set the stage
for what has become the biggest political cover-up in American history.
Update:
The eligibility question has gone mainstream -- CNN.com is running a
story entitled, "Palin defends Obama birth certificate inquiries." |

Tennessee State Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey |
Chelsea Schilling
is
reporting that the list of lawmakers and talkers questioning the
eligibility of Barack Obama is growing.
Tennessee state Senate
speaker and gubernatorial candidate Ron Ramsey has joined the growing
ranks of officials and prominent commentators who say they are unsure of
whether Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen.
Ramsey was asked Feb. 2
about the issue by Maclin Davis, a former state lawmaker and attorney
for the state GOP.
"I don't know whether President Obama is a
citizen of the United States or not," Ramsey responded. "I don't
know what the whole deal is there."
"But I'm going to tell you
something," he said. "When you walk out on the street down here,
people don't really care about this issue. "When we get off on
sidelines like that, that's when people say 'aw,' they close their ears
and don't listen," Ramsey said. "I'm not saying you're not right,
Mac, I'm not saying you're not right -- but that's not how you win
elections."
According to the report, Ramsey acknowledged that he
might be causing some apprehension among his political staff for even
addressing the eligibility issue. "I've got a table full of
advisers sitting over there, and they'll probably start cringing right
about now when I start talking about some of this stuff," he said.
Two things:
1. The
issue isn't about whether Obama is a citizen, or not. The issue is
whether Barack Obama meets the "natural born"
requirement of Article 2, Section I, Clause 5 of the Constitution of
the United States of America -- here is some
background info.
2.
Ramsey is just plain wrong when he says, "people don't really care about
this issue." Check out the numbers on
this page. |
| We've Elected A
Marxist |
U.S. Rep. Paul Broun attacked President-elect Barack
Obama's agenda as Marxist, saying, "In my opinion, we've elected a
Marxist to be president of the United States."
The Republican congressman from Georgia warned that Obama might be
planning to form a
Brownshirts-like security force so he can rule as a dictator.
The two-term congressman cited a July speech in which Obama called for a
civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the
military.
Broun said he was not fear-mongering but wants to warn people that the
nation could be going down that path.
His comments came in a Monday telephone interview with The Associated
Press after he called Obama a Marxist at a Rotary Club meeting in his
district over the weekend.
Well,
here's the
video
of Obama's July speech and
here's the cadre program behind Obama's
private army. You can decide for yourself whether this guy is a
nut, or on to something. |
| Congressional Candidate Takes On Eligibility |
Chelsea Schilling is
reporting that just as the tea-party convention crowd gathered to
discuss strategy for the movement, one woman stepped forward to the
microphone -- holding up two Hawaiian long-form birth certificates and a
copy of Obama's purported short-form certification of live birth -- and,
raising the short form, she told the crowd, "This piece of junk is what
you get when you don't have one of these!" -- waving the real birth
certificates.
The crowd went wild, clapping and cheering, and
when the forum was over, tea partiers scrambled around a table to see
and photograph her original documents.
The woman, Miki Booth,
originally from Hawaii, is running for the U.S. House of Representatives
in Oklahoma's second district as an independent constitutional
conservative. She had presented original long-form birth
certificates belonging to her son and husband, dated 1981 and 1949.
Her husband, Fred, and son, Alan, were born at the Kapi'olani
Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu, Hawaii -- the same
hospital declared as Obama's birthplace in this
letter.
"If he is going to claim he was born in Kapi'olani
like my husband and my son, then I want him to show proof," Booth said,
explaining that a certification of live birth only shows that a live
baby was born -- and not necessarily in Hawaii.
"What he's given
us perpetuates the mystery of what he's covering up and gives us more
reason to not trust him," she said.
How can Ms. Booth be so cynical as
to not trust our guy? Could it be that
Obama himself has previously
claimed to have been
born at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, a claim
backed up by his
sister Maya.
Either way, neither hospital has a -- "This is the
birthplace of the 44th President of the United States" -- plaque
in their lobby. |
| Arizonans Want To Verify Citizenship Of Candidates |
The AP is reporting that nearly half of the Arizona Legislature
wants to force Barack Obama to show his birth certificate to state
officials if he runs for re-election.
A state House committee on
Tuesday approved the measure sponsored by 40 of the state's 90
legislators. It would require presidential candidates who want to
appear on the ballot in Arizona to submit documents proving they meet
the requirements to be president.
All 40 co-sponsors are
Republicans, comprising 75 percent of the GOP caucus. Two of them
have since resigned to run for Congress.
The idea was proposed by
Skull Valley Republican Rep. Judy Burges. She says if people have
to prove their citizenship to apply for a job or get a passport, they
should have to prove it to run for president.
What a concept, "if people have to
prove their citizenship to apply for a job or get a passport, they
should have to prove it to run for president."
However, I wish
these folks would focus on eligibility, rather than citizenship.
They are two different things.
There are millions of people who
are 100% American citizens that are ineligible to serve as
Commander-in-Chief.
For example, Arizona senator,
John McCain.
Update:
The House Government Committee voted Tuesday to require presidential
contenders to prove to Arizona's secretary of state they're "natural
born" citizens to get their names on the ballot.
The 6-1 vote came on the proposal by Rep. Judy Burges, R-Skull
Valley, who said it's only fair to require those who want to lead our
country prove they meet the standards of the U.S. Constitution. She said
that, at the very least, it means producing a birth certificate.

| Then Ya Got Somethin' To Hide |
In
this video, Champaign IL Mayor Schweighart says Obama is not an American citizen.
This was video was made on April 15, 2010, in West Side Park in
Champaign, IL. Mayor Jerry Schweighart claims Obama is not an
American citizen.
Once
again we see someone, in this case the mayor, confusing the issues
of citizenship and eligibility. Obama is a citizen.
Don't go there. However, Obama is does not meet the Article II
"natural born" Citizen requirement.
Eligibility and
citizenship are two different issues:
Citizenship -- two
classes of citizen -- "native born" or "naturalized" -- statutory
citizens -- a statute, a law, defines their citizenship.
Eligibility -- only one class -- "natural born" -- two American
citizen parents and born in the US of A -- no law defines status --
no law required for status.

| Obama's Citizenship May Be Scam |
David Weigel says Chris Nelson, who's retiring
after two terms as South Dakota's secretary of state to challenge Rep.
Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-S.D.), was
asked by Kevin Woster whether he believes Obama is a citizen of the
United States. Nelson doesn't know.
[M]eeting the constitutional qualifications
to be President is a very important issue. If President Obama
isnt constitutionally qualified, it would be the biggest scam ever
perpetuated on the American people. MANY people contacted me
as Secretary of State prior to and after the election asking how
Obama could be on our ballot given this controversy. Absent a
court finding that he isnt a natural born citizen, we have to take
the certification from the National Democratic Convention at face
value.
Of course, most people have taken "at face value"
Obama's certification of live birth from Hawaii, released by the
campaign in 2008, as proof of where he was born. Interestingly,
Nelson's less-well-established primary challengers don't take the bait,
and blow off the question.
Again, the writer, Woster, incorrectly
frames the issue as one of citizenship. It's not. It's about
eligibility.
And it's interesting that Nelson refers to the
certification from the National Democratic Convention.
The Democratic National Committee, the Chair
of the Party convention, the Secretary of the Party, Party offices
in each of fifty states, and maybe many, many more, have knowingly
and wantonly defrauded the American election system and more than
300 million American citizens.
It appears that they have filed a fraudulent
"Official Certification of Nomination" for Barack Obama and Joe
Biden in all 50 states -- they knew Obama was ineligible.
Here is the
proper document
-- "THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the
Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver,
Colorado on August 25 though 28, 2008, the following were duly
nominated as candidates of said Party for President and Vice
President of the United States respectively and that the
following candidates for President and Vice President of the United
States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the
United States Constitution."
Here is the
similar document
that the DNC distributed to the states -- "THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention
of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver,
Colorado on August 25 though 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated
as candidates of said Party for President and Vice President of the
United States respectively."
Notice that the document
released to the states omits the eligibility language.
The DNC drafted,
signed and notarized TWO slightly different versions of their
Official Certification of Nomination documents, not one.
One of those documents had complete legal language, and
one of them was missing the text concerning the constitutional
eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama.
The version which is
absent any certification of constitutional standing for the
office of President is the version that was filed with every
state in the country, and the one used by the DNC to elect
Barack Obama President."
The same three people
signed two certified forms, one for official submission and one
for publication. This means they knew Obama was
ineligible from day one.

| Senate-Seeker Wants Obama Birth-Certificate
Treatment |
Chelsea Schilling
says a Mexican-born candidate for U.S. Senate said he is considering
a lawsuit against the Missouri secretary of state for discrimination
because her office forced him to produce a birth certificate but "didn't
make Obama show proof of citizenship" to appear on the ballot.
Hector Maldonado, 38, a self-described "Linconian Republican
conservative," is seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in
Missouri. He was born one of 10 children in Durango, Mexico.
His father is a migrant field worker who owns a small hog ranch in
Perris, Calif.
During the following July 5 interview (video)
with Karen Berka of Branson Radio Live posted on YouTube, Maldonado
explains why he thinks his rights were violated when the secretary of
state's office asked for proof of U.S. citizenship when he filed to run
for the Senate.
Maldonado, a U.S. Army combat veteran who served
in Iraq and Afghanistan, explains on his website that he became a U.S.
citizen in 1995. But he said Secretary of State Robin Carnahan
sent him a letter in May asking him to produce documentation. "It
said, 'Hey, you have to prove you're a citizen.' I ignored it," he
said. "You know, Obama ignored it, so I figured I could get away
with it, too."
The audience began laughing, applauding and
cheering during his statement.
Maldonado continued, "But it's
not that simple. I didn't get away with it. I got a
certified letter from Ms. Robin Carnahan's office saying that if I did
not prove that I was a U.S. citizen, then I would be removed from the
ballot." He claims Carnahan's office gave him a deadline of May
12.
"I got all my documents together: my birth certificate,
which is a Mexican birth certificate; my naturalization certificate; my
orders sending me to Iraq and Afghanistan; my bronze-star citations and
a couple of officer evaluations that say I'm a pretty good and effective
leader," he said. "So I brought all this documentation, and they
were only interested in the naturalization certificate. They made
a photocopy of it."
Maldonado said he asked Carnahan's office if
his citizenship documentation would be public record and available to
anyone who wants a copy. "They said, oh yes, absolutely, anyone
that wants proof, we have it," he explained. "I said, OK, can you
do me a favor then? I'm sure Ms. Carnahan requested the same of
Barack Obama when he petitioned to get on the Missouri ballot to become
president."
He added, "They had no response. They had nothing."
Maldonado said he thought about picketing during Obama's visit
to Missouri today to raise money for Carnahan's U.S. Senate campaign.
Obama arrived in Kansas City this morning to make appearances at two
fundraising events for Carnahan. Missouri's primary election will
take place on Aug. 3.
"But I decided something different.
I'm actually considering suing Ms. Robin Carnahan because she
discriminated against me," he said. "She has said that her job is
to protect Missouri from fraud and corruption. But the fraud that
she created if she did not make Obama show proof of citizenship when he
petitioned to get on the Missouri ballot
all the votes that he got
should be taken back."
He said he hopes citizens of other states
sue their own secretaries of state if they cannot show they requested
proper documentation from Obama before allowing him to appear on the
state ballot.
"Sooner or later, he's going to have to prove --
based on our demand -- that he is in fact a U.S.-born citizen," he said.
I wish these guys would focus
on "eligibility" and not "citizenship" -- but this part needs to be read
again:
Maldonado said he asked Carnahan's office if
his citizenship documentation would be public record and available to
anyone who wants a copy. "They said, oh yes, absolutely,
anyone
that wants proof, we have it," he explained. "I said, OK, can you
do me a favor then? I'm sure Ms. Carnahan requested the same of
Barack Obama when he petitioned to get on the Missouri ballot to become
president."
He added, "They had no response. They had nothing."

| Obama Is Country's Greatest Threat |
Shane D'Aprile
says that former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), speaking at a campaign
rally Thursday for Colorado Senate candidate Ken Buck, called Barack
Obama the greatest threat facing America today.
After recalling
the nuclear threat from the former Soviet Union, Tancredo said, "We had
that threat and we survived it. Later we found out we had another
threat to our way of life and that was al-Qaeda. We found that out
on 9/11."
Tancredo continued, "But I firmly believe this -- it's
not just, you know, sort of a dramatic statement that a person would
make to get press or something, or ink. I believe this with all my
heart. The greatest threat to the United States today, the
greatest threat to our liberty, the greatest threat to the Constitution
of the United States, the greatest threat to our way of life, everything
we believe in, the greatest threat to the country that was put together
by the founding fathers is the guy that is in the White House today." |
| Senator: Resolve Eligibility In Court |
WorldNetDaily is reporting a Republican senator
from Louisiana, David Vitter, is suggesting the dispute over Barack
Obama's eligibility to be president be resolved in court.
"I
support conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that
to court," the Associated Press reported a video of the event revealed
him saying.
Vitter becomes just the latest high-profile leader,
and the first U.S. senator, to take such a strong stand on the issue.
It's also significant that the AP, which has stated publicly
that the president's "birth certificate" has been
made public even though the image of the document posted online
actually is a "certification of live birth," which under Hawaiian
procedures was available to those not born in the state, reported on
Vitter's comments.
Vitter was responding to a constituent who on
Sunday at a town hall meeting in Metairie, La., asked about Obama's
"refusal to produce a birth certificate."
The AP reported the
crowd applauded the question, and Vitter said he doesn't have personal
"standing" for litigation, but he said he supports those groups that are
bringing the question to court.
"I think that is the valid and
most possibly effective grounds to do it," he said. "First and
foremost" Americans need to "fight the Obama agenda at the ballot box
starting this fall."
Vitter said the matters of the nation are
too important to be diverted by distractions.
He's just the
latest leader to raise such questions. Others include: U.S. Rep.
Steve King, U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis, R-SC and others, listed
here . . .
Re: The AP's assertion, "...the president's
'birth certificate' has been
made public ...," is false. The AP knows the statement is false.
It is pure propaganda. It's the world's largest news service
spreading Obama's "Big
Lie" when they know it's a lie.
Obama's "birth certificate"
has NEVER, EVER been made public. In fact, Obama has
spent
more than $2 million to prevent his birth certificate from being made
public. |
| Senate Candidate Forced To Prove His
Citizenship |
Family Security Matters
says adding to the long-running Obama eligibility dispute, Army
veteran and naturalized American Hector Maldonado, recently pointed out
in a Branson, MO radio interview that the State of Missouri demanded he
prove his citizenship status in order to be permitted to run for Senate
from the "Show Me" state. Maldonado was asked by the Office of the
Missouri Secretary of State to prove his citizenship status and was
threatened via certified letter with being removed from the ballot if he
did not comply by a deadline of May 12. On the Missouri Secretary
of State's website, the qualifications to run for U.S. Senate are cited:
U. S. Senator -- Art. I § 3 U. S.
Constitution
At least 30
years of age
Citizen of
United States for 9 years
Resident
of Missouri
In responding to Missouri's demand, Maldonado
questioned whether the state similarly asked candidate Barack Obama for
proof of citizenship when he filed to run in Missouri in the 2008
electoral cycle. According to Maldonado, the Secretary of State's
office declined to answer this question although it told him that his
own proof of citizenship was a matter of public record (so presumably
the lack of any Obama proof of citizenship is also a matter of public
record). Maldonado is mulling a possible lawsuit against the State
since the Secretary of State is required to protect Missouri against
fraud and corruption.
Maldonado, who became a naturalized U.S.
citizen in 1995 and was awarded two Bronze Stars from his Iraq and
Afghanistan deployments, noted Michelle Obama's "slip of the tongue"
comment when she mentioned Obama's home country Kenya (a comment widely
circulated in a YouTube video), but said that it wasn't up to him to
decide whether Obama was lying or not-- or whether there were "holes in
his birth story." The Army veteran discussed Obama's expending as
much as one million or more dollars to hire lawyers to conceal his
citizenship-related records. He also raised the subject of why
anyone running for public office believes he is entitled to this level
of secrecy -- especially since it is impossible to determine whether
Obama conforms to requirements of the U.S. Constitution's Article II,
Section 1, unless he can produce an original birth certificate. |
