Sarah Palin On Trump’s Birth Certificate Investigation: ‘More Power To Him!’

video
» 446 comments

Sarah Palin was interviewed live today on Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine, and was asked to weigh in on the rather sudden addition of Donald Trump‘s voice to the “Birther movement“, as well as the money “The Donald” is devoting to researching the existence of the president’s birth certificate. Palin’s answer? She noted it wasn’t that unthinkable for Trump to be curious about Obama’s birth certificate, as it was an issue that has transfixed a sizable segment of the body politic.

She expressed hope that perhaps Trump’s piles of money would be the key ingredient missing from prior investigations of the President’s birthplace; Orly Taitz, despite having about 10 jobs, doesn’t have a hotel in New York City —know what I mean? Palin also expressed hope that Trump’s money and resources could counter the $2 million she claims Obama has spent to keep the certificate hidden from the public. Her attitude suggested a quiet, but not overt, encouragement of Trump’s investigation.

Jeanine switched gears, asking Palin what she personally thought of the controversy surrounding Obama’s American citizenship. Again, her answer was shrewd. “I believe he was born in Hawaii,” she stated, citing the announcement of his birth in the paper. Leading with this response was smart. She appeared credible, rational and moderate. Palin also managed to pander to her base, adding that the president’s decision not to release his birth certificate was “perplexing.”

    Why won’t our undocumented community organizer just release the damn thing and be done with all this “nonsense”?
    Why does he spend millions fighting against it if he has nothing to hide?

  • roxsteady

    There isn’t any “controversy”. It’s just the musing of idiots like Palin and the bagger brigade who didn’t vote for this President and still can’t get over the fact that he beat her and McGrumpy like 2 rented mules! Again, we Liberals love the birther thing because it confirms that you’re all still pissed which makes us very happy. Just wait until he crushes whatever GOP dolts ends up running against him and wins his second term. It’s going to be fun taunting the inbreds!

  • ChrisNH

    Only someone not of this country would eagerly try to ruin this country. Clearly, the scrutiny will increase–and it should–the more things Obamo does to undermine any economic recovery, divide the American people, and focus on the few at the expense of the many. Plus, the idiot is utterly aloof.

    I say, let the screws tighten.

  • Lou Sarah

    Mediaite, you’re such a bunch of fucking clowns…. just pandering to the mouth-breathers that live in their parents basement with this non-stop “birther” /Trump crap. Let’s try some facts (something you’ll never see on this website in relation to this story):

    Republican Governor Linda Lingle of Hawaii (as quoted by World Net Daily of all places) “It’s been an odd situation,” Lingle said, referring to the continuing controversy over the disputed natural-born citizenship of Obama. “This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country.

    “So I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact and yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue and I think it’s again a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this.”

    Want more from Gail Collins rebut of Trumps reply in the Times (something you won’t see on Mediaite) –

    Trump does not actually seem to have people studying, or even Googling. Still, he sounds very self-assured. This is because before he was a reality-show host, he was in the New York real estate business, a profession in which it is vital to be able to say imaginary things with total certainty. (“I have five other people who are begging me to sell them this property. Begging.”)

    Let’s run over some of his arguments:

    THE GRANDMOTHER STORY “His grandmother in Kenya stated, on tape, that he was born in Kenya and she was there to watch the birth,” Trump wrote. This goes back to a trans-Atlantic telephone call that was made in 2008 by Ron McRae, an Anabaptist bishop and birther, to Sarah Obama, the president’s 86-year-old stepgrandmother. He asked her, through an interpreter whether she was “present when he was born in Kenya.” The translator responded: “She says, yes, she was. She was present when Obama was born.”

    It is at this point that some of the tapes floating around the Web stop, which means that the listener doesn’t get to hear the follow-up, which makes it very clear that Sarah Obama misunderstood. The full conversation ends with the interpreter saying, for the umpteenth time: “Hawaii. She says he was born in Hawaii. In the state of Hawaii, where his father, his father was learning there. The state of Hawaii.”

    THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE If only Hawaii made its birth records public, and charged people a thousand dollars a pop to look at them, the state’s budget problems would be solved by the conspiracy theorists. However, it doesn’t. If you were born in Hawaii and request a copy of your birth certificate, you get a certification of live birth, which the federal government accepts for passports. Barack Obama requested his in 2007, and his campaign posted it on the Internet.

    “A certificate of live birth is not even signed by anybody. I saw his. I read it very carefully. It doesn’t have a serial number. It doesn’t have a signature,” said Trump on “Today.”

    The document has the stamped signature of the state registrar. The University of Pennsylvania’s FactCheck.org made a pilgrimage to the Obama campaign headquarters, examined the document, felt the seal, checked the serial number and reported that it looked fine.

    THE EMPTY PHOTO ALBUM “Our current president came out of nowhere. Came out of nowhere,” Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference to great applause. “In fact, I’ll go a step further. The people that went to school with him, they never saw him; they don’t know who he is. It’s crazy.”

    This week on CNN, Suzanne Malveaux played Trump clips of Hawaiians reminiscing about the schoolchild Obama for a documentary the network had done on the president.

    “Look, I didn’t say that … If he was 3 years old or 2 years old or 1 year old and people remember him, that’s irrelevant,” Trump responded. “You have to be born in this country.”

    You are forgetting something. Look at the chart again and look at when it became clear that Obama would win the election. That’s when the numbers reeeealy took a nosedive.

    Also, we need many months of 500,000 jobs created/month. But Obama hates business so business is doing what they can to protect themselves.

    Obama’s decision to keep thwarting our ability to supply ourselves with energy is going to keep hurting too. Gas prices are way up.

    Well with such a well thought out argunment like that, Screwauger, you have opened my eyes.

    You’d think the former Governor would be a little more senstive to how horrible this stupidity is since there is a persistent group of people who refuse to believe that she is the actual mother of Trig. There are still lefties out there demanding that she produce his birth certificate.

    Interesting parallel: She claims she has. She hasn’t.

    (To be clear: both Obama birthers and Trig birthers are ignorant assholes).

  • idesign

    Just a note, even Obama’s #1 fan Chris Matthews has wondered why he can’t produce his birth certificate?

    Chris Matthews Asks Obama to Release Birth Certificate
    12-28-2010Categorized in: Constitution, Law
    33 922Email14.1KShare15.1KChris Matthews, the anchor of MSNBC’s “Hardball” program, is now calling for Barack Obama to release his original, long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate to put to rest any doubts about the president’s constitutional eligibility to hold office.

    On last night’s edition of his show, Matthews stated: “I am not a birther. I am an enemy of the birthers.” But he continued with the questions, “Why doesn’t the president just say, ‘Send me a copy right now?’ Why doesn’t Gibbs and Axelrod say, ‘Let’s just get this crappy story dead?’ Why not do it? … If it exists, why not put it out?”

    To date, there has not been one good answer to that very simple question.

  • catfishjuggling

    As I like to point out on every stupid birther thread.

    OK.

    He’s Kenyan.

    Therefore, he has committed at least perjury in producing a fake certificate of live birth (that is one theory, no?) or outright treason in “pretending” to be eligible to be President sicne he wasn’t born here.

    Okay.

    You win.

    Now what?

    Why is there not one single prosecutor will the balls to charge him for the forgery? Or at least some form of illegal entry into the country? maybe they could deport him? Too scared?

    Why has no one singe member of the House of Representatives drawn up Articles of Impeachment?

    I mean for God’s sake: The fate of the Union is hand!! How about the rule of law?

    But instead: crickets.

    Governor Bobby Jindal was born a Hindu. He isn’t one now. You got a problem with that. Or is it just the D after Obama’s name?

    Btw, I love that the response when I call out these yahoos is that I am a liberal. I have been saying for a while that I am behind Mitch Daniels for a while. I’m not voting for Obama. That doesn’t change the fact that the man was born in Hawaii.

  • Old Duffer

    Trump will never find Obama’s birth certificate, hell, Obama can’t even find it.

    I actually think Obama does have his birth certificate, but there is some very incriminating information on it he doesn’t want known. Otherwise, why the big lawyer bucks he keeps shelling out to keep it hidden”

    Like momma’s baby, daddy’s maybe. So, who’s your daddy Obama?

  • catfishjuggling

    Yeah. Someone else is his dad on the birth certificate where they named him Barack Hussein Obama II. Real dad? Joe Smith.

    As for the birth certificate, like a lot of issues, it’s now out of hand. If Obama had produced it YEARS ago, none of this stuff would have any traction. But Obama decided to hide it as he has done with many things from his past.

    Simple… Obama is keeping his official birth certificate or his birth information under wraps. Obama is keeping almost all his university, legal and early years records under lock and key.

    The only reason you spend money to keep records sealed is because there is something in those records that is not good.
    We already know tha Obama is a doofus… maybe he is a Muslim doofus.
    Owing to the Obama butt kissing of the liberal media, we never did find out what is in all those documents from law school…. maybe some really Marxist leaning ideas? Could he be a Marxist doofus?
    He is a black liberation theology doofus and a pretend intelligent doofus… how much further could it go?

    @jamesphillip:

    Obama didn’t release his college records. He should have.

    Bush did.
    Gore did.
    Kerry did.

    McCain didn’t either. What do you think he was trying to hide? I mean he was born in Panama, which is close to Columbia. Maybe he harbors some sort of pro-FARC agenda. Why haven’t we seen his records.

    To be clear: Obama should release his transcripts. But make sure to throw a fit in the Republican nominee also doesn’t.

    Cashill’s work is very interesting: From his web page.

    “Prior to 1990, when Barack Obama contracted to write Dreams From My Father, he had written very close to nothing.”

    “As an undergraduate, Obama had written what he justifiably calls some ‘very bad poetry.’ He published nothing under his own name in The Harvard Law Review, where he served as an editor and as president. And after leaving Harvard, he published nothing in its review or in any law journal.”

    “Then, in 1995, this untested 33 year-old produced what Time Magazine has called–with a straight face– ‘the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.’”

    “The public is asked to believe Obama wrote this on his own. ”

    It’s unlikely that Obama wrote the book.

  • catfishjuggling

    Cashill?

    Yeah, there’s a serious guy.

    Here is his latest genius theory:

    Is Barack Obama actually not in this photo of Barack Obama?

    http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/04/07/birther_photoshop_fail/index.html

    Far and away the best part is that the “real photo” has something pretty important in it. Obama’s knee.

    As Parneene brilliantly points out:

    What was Barack Obama’s knee doing in New York, while the rest of him was in Pakistan, and Indonesia? Dealing drugs? Why are mainstream journalists afraid to ask tough questions about the president’s detachable knee? The people have a right to know!

    You crazy people really have no irony detector.

    You know in the rational world Obama may just be a normal dude who got elected and is doing a bad job as President. It doesn’t need to be a big conspiracy.

    That tends to happen when you base your statements off of assumptions, rather than facts or just pure logic.

    What Trump did is make the issue about why Obama would spend $2 million so far on keeping things muzzled.

    Logic says that if you initially produced an item and you were questioned about said item at a later date in a court proceeding then the simplest thing to do would be to produce said documentation. Even if that’s a photocopy version. Case closed. However, if court proceeding does not produce any form of documentation, someone’s hand has been in the cookie jar and someone needs to find the trail of crumbs.

    So, just as the child submits to the physical laws which Allah has put in nature, his soul also submits naturally to the fact that Allah is his Lord and Creator. But, his parents try to make him follow their own way and the child is not strong enough in the early stages of his life to resist or oppose the will of his parents. The religion which the child follows at this stage is one of custom and upbringing and Allah does not hold him to account or punish him for this religion.

    I get what you’re saying. Essentially, when Obama was born, based on his father, he was a Muslim. Then we don’t know how his family raised him. Many people think that he would be agnostic because his mother was agnostic. I think in puberty, people of Muslim faith sincerely hold onto that belief or have moved in a new faith direction. People want to separate the fact that he could have been two religions in his young years.

    What Trump did is make the issue about why Obama would spend $2 million so far on keeping things muzzled.

    Logic says that if you initially produced an item and you were questioned about said item at a later date in a court proceeding then the simplest thing to do would be to produce said documentation. Even if that’s a photocopy version. Case closed. However, if court proceeding does not produce any form of documentation, someone’s hand has been in the cookie jar and someone needs to find the trail of crumbs.

    It’s amazing what logical thinking can produce. :)

    LOL.

  • Calvin

    Gasket, what I said is exactly what the NYT said. I know it doesn’t matter to you or me that Obama is considered to be born a Muslim by Muslims, but it matters to them. Again from the NYT:

    Of course, as most Americans understand it, Senator Obama is not a Muslim. He chose to become a Christian, and indeed has written convincingly to explain how he arrived at his choice and how important his Christian faith is to him.

    His conversion, however, was a crime in Muslim eyes; it is “irtidad” or “ridda,” usually translated from the Arabic as “apostasy,” but with connotations of rebellion and treason. Indeed, it is the worst of all crimes that a Muslim can commit, worse than murder (which the victim’s family may choose to forgive).

    With few exceptions, the jurists of all Sunni and Shiite schools prescribe execution for all adults who leave the faith not under duress; the recommended punishment is beheading at the hands of a cleric, although in recent years there have been both stonings and hangings. (Some may point to cases in which lesser punishments were ordered — as with some Egyptian intellectuals who have been punished for writings that were construed as apostasy — but those were really instances of supposed heresy, not explicitly declared apostasy as in Senator Obama’s case.)

    This has been my point. accoring to Islamic law, Obama was born a Muslim. This has no relevance to you or me, but it has relevance for Muslims. Radical Muslims consider Obama to be a traitorous Muslim. Am I wrong (along with NYT)?

    It’s called having dual faiths at birth. Or dual where he’s only Muslim and agnostic. That’s how it works. I’ve seen it explained on multiple sites. Don’t get mad at people when they think that a particular faith has a harsh rhetoric/vibe to it.

    I already provided context to that in an earlier post. Or you could do the research yourself as I did in just a matter of moments. I found it on multiple sites. In the Muslim faith, you are initially born into it regardless. There is no choice in the matter. Then, as a child, you practice what your parents are accustomed to. And then I believe at puberty, you make the personal choice. I personally don’t get it. It’s essentially like having dual faiths, unless your parents are only practicing Muslims.

    You are not wrong for repeating what the NYT says. There are radical Muslims who believe in a lot of things that make no sense, In fact, most things are not even sourced from the Q’uran or the taquiyya. They are simply invented. . However, that does not mean those ideas should be used in a substantive argument to establish in the mainstream Obama’s religious identity.

    You can’t even keep your arguments straight. Muslims agree with the existence of Jesus. They do not believe in his divinity. I can run circles around you on this while you’re busy with your google. I know you are clueless about this because you are searching on google.

    They are not, because their stages of development (and age) are not comparable either. Islam has not matured and/or undergone the numerous reformations that Christianity (or older faiths) have. A big clue is also the divergence of denominations within each respective religion and hierarchy. Don’t forget that just in the 1800′s, “Christian” USA did not consider women (even white women) as full citizens economically and even socially similar to what is seen in most Muslim dominated countries today. Islam (today) is just not where Christianity is today. That explains the power of the fringe elements (and the radical Imams) within Islamic hierarchy and the subservience of it’s followers. Hopefully a few millenia can change this.

It’s being used as a pejorative by the wingnuts. Just like when they use his middle name. You know what they say about ignorance? A good suggestion for your lesson plan. Tolerance is another.

    Done! I will show both sides! “HIS” middle name is what it is… so, are you saying no one should mention it? Are YOU embarrassed and ashamed of his middle name? IIWII… it is what it is…. and when you say “THEY” use his middle name… I recall HIM using his middle name when he was sworn in…. or maybe you deleted that bit of his ascension…

    They do however vilify anyone who brings this subject up, starting out with the words ” THEY CLAIM “.

    This is what Mediaite and other conservative blogs do not want you to know:

    Brain structure differs in liberals, conservatives: study
    (AFP) – 2 days ago

    WASHINGTON — Everyone knows that liberals and conservatives butt heads when it comes to world views, but scientists have now shown that their brains are actually built differently.
    Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear, said the study on Thursday in Current Biology.

    “We found that greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala,” the study said.

    Other research has shown greater brain activity in those areas, according to which political views a person holds, but this is the first study to show a physical difference in size in the same regions.
    “Previously, some psychological traits were known to be predictive of an individual’s political orientation,” said Ryota Kanai of the University College London, where the research took place.
    “Our study now links such personality traits with specific brain structure.”

    The study was based on 90 “healthy young adults” who reported their political views on a scale of one to five from very liberal to very conservative, then agreed to have their brains scanned.
    People with a large amygdala are “more sensitive to disgust” and tend to “respond to threatening situations with more aggression than do liberals and are more sensitive to threatening facial expressions,” the study said.
    Liberals are linked to larger anterior cingulate cortexes, a region that “monitor(s) uncertainty and conflicts,” it said.

    “Thus, it is conceivable that individuals with a larger ACC have a higher capacity to tolerate uncertainty and conflicts, allowing them to accept more liberal views.”
    It remains unclear whether the structural differences cause the divergence in political views, or are the effect of them.

    But the central issue in determining political views appears to revolve around fear and how it affects a person.
    “Our findings are consistent with the proposal that political orientation is associated with psychological processes for managing fear and uncertainty,” the study said.

    The Birth Certificate issue might have helped marginalize the “crazies” when Obama was polling in the high 60′s…

    Just think if his poll numbers dip below 40%…

    Yes, Sarah, please show us the birth certificate for Trigg. Not the adoption papers–the papers showing who the birth mother was. As far as your comment about Obama being born in Florida, you are just trying to get some attention for yourself by spreading your lie. You really should read newspapers more often. That is as unbelievable as when all the people report that your birth certificate shows you were born in LaLaLand.

    CHALLENGE: Show me the verifiable documents that reveal the dollar amount spent by Barack Obama or his campaign on legal expenses to prevent the release of Obama’s “real” birth certificate.

    Well, any takers? Since everybody is saying it there surely must be lots of evidence to present.

    With Palin’s support, and Fox News, a Trump win is plausible on the Republican side.

    Yet, what’s all the talk these days? Bozos and birthers. Does half the GOP even know who Tim Pawlenty is? Mitch Daniels? It’s gotten so bad at times I think Rahm-Bo put Trump up to this. One last gift for his old boss.

    Trump: True American hero, icon and next president.

  • peterverkooijen

    Please stop the birther nonsense. Obama is a typical American red diaper baby, born in Hawaii. His Kenyan dad had almost nothing to do with his life, despite the Dreams From My Father mythmaking.

    Barack Obama is the son of white communist student from Kansas. Like most marxists at the time 18-year old Ann Dunham idolized the Third World as vanguard of the Revolution and hooked up with the first African socialist she could get her hands on.

    Obama Sr. had no reason to bring his pregnant Hawaiian bit-of-fun-on-the-side home with him to his wife and kids in Kenya. If Obma is hiding anything, it is the fact that he is the son of basically a white single mother.

    Birthers fundamentally miss the point who Obama is. They help the Obamacrats hide the fact that he is a red diaper baby. All the anti-imperialism and black liberation stuff he got from his white mum; it was all standard marxist-leninist dogma in the 1970s.

    And birthers make it easy for Obamacrats to paint all opposition as racists and xenophobes.

    I am not a “birther.” I think Obama was born in Hawaii.

    But he’s hiding something and he’s going to great lengths to keep it hidden.

    Obama spends a fortune to prevent anyone from seeing his Long Form Birth Certificate. Not only that, a vast array of other documentation of his life has been aggressively shielded from public view.

    So the “logical” conclusion from all of this by many is that Obama has nothing to hide and those that think he’s hiding something are racists and xenophobes.

    You can’t make this stuff up.

  • billwhit1357

    I think it is great that Trump is investigating Obama, since the GOP has no balls to do it. Anyone who lets good, honorable military men go to prison, all because of Obama’s childish refusal to prove who he is, well, to me, that shows Obama has no Honor or Integrity whatsoever. You Progressive Entitlement Pukes can kiss Obambi’s butt goodbye in 2012, maybe sooner.

    Allen West 2012! A Proven Patriot, Leader, and a Born American with a Real Birth Certificate! Or Trump, or Palin, or Bachmann, or Newt, or the neighbors dog, anyone but the current NonAmerican Idiot, Obama!

    Trump was apparentlythe talk of the town on the Sunday talk shows. how these liberal loony hosts will work over time to protect hehimself from his past is too funny. They could care less what his background is, they will just follow him like a bunch of blind mice. How sad for this country that these so-called journolists still have a seat at the table.

    Well the answer to the questions are that people are pulling stuff out of their ass and the drooling masses are messily devouring it. It works like this: I say that Sarah Palin spent 10 million in oil money to hide her illegal shenanigans. Where did this information come from, you might ask? That’s a good question and it needs to be investigated!! What is Sarah Palin hiding?!!

    Amazing how idiots bring this up as a diversion from real issues like how to fix the economy and create jobs. No one cares about Palin’s opinion on this or anything else anymore – all we want to know is if there will be a catfight between the two prom queens as Bachmann moves onto Sarah’s former stage.

    He has plenty to hide, but it is hiding is plain sight and birthers help him hide it.

    Obama is a lifelong communist, born and raised in a communist family and mentored and groomed by communist circles.

    Who paid for his academic career? Now there is a good question.

    But the birthers aren’t asking that. For some reason they are obsessed with proving Obama is African.

    Why do birthers want to obscure the fact Barack Obama is the bastard son of a white communist single mother in Hawaii?!

    Birther may not be racists and xenophobes, but they make it very easy for Obamacrats to paint all opposition as racists and xenophones. Thanks a lot birthers. You will get Obama reelected in 2012.

    It’s funny how you come here trying to play some kind of middle of the road kinda guy until somebody challenges Obamas birth issues. You were never fooling me, though. Thanks for your *concern.*

    This birth issue for Obama is a huge can of worms that is about to explode and I can’t wait!

    Take your challenge and stuff it.

    In total, Obama has paid Perkins Coie, a single law firm, $2.3 million since he announced his campaign for presidency. By contrast, a cumulative total of all of Sen. John McCain’s legal consulting fees from Jan. 1, 2007, to June 30, 2009, amounts to $1.46 million.

    Robert Bauer of Perkins Coie – top lawyer for Obama, Obama’s presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and Obama’s Organizing for America – is the same Washington, D.C., lawyer defending President Obama in lawsuits challenging his eligibility to be president.

    Palin and the Donald are either both playing politics or they are both totally as dumb as a stick. A third grader can read the evidence and KNOW that President Obama was born in Hawaii. As a Republican I say , this total ignorance disqualifies both of them even from running as dog catcher of their city as far as I am concerned. Even my 9 year old great grandniece KNOWS President Obama was born in Hawaii because she has a birth certificate just like President Obama’s!

  • Kat

    I was born to two Catholics and baptized one. To this day they consider me Catholic. I consider myself atheist. I have been asked on some questionaires what my religion is and I have said atheist. If my parents were asked what religion I was they would say Catholic. Just because you are born something does not mean that is what you consider yourself as an adult. Jeez.

    Now you will say no, we want to know if he is a natural born citizen. Don’t you people realize if this could be a proven fact that he was born in Kenya, that Hillary or McCain would have found this out with all their recources? JHC, Bill Clinton was a former President who has to still have connections all over. If she could have proved him not to be an American citizen (as Michell in Utah loves to point out she was the original birther) it would have been done. Get a grip, get a life, get a real candidate and get some real issues to debate.

    When I was 16 and ready to get my drivers license I needed a BC to prove I was the age of 16. My mother could not find it and we had to send away for one. I recieve a certificate of live birth and they accepted it as proof of age.

    Then a few years ago I had to get a passport and once again I could not locate my BC and sent away for one. Again I recieved a certificate of live birth and once again it was accepted.

Moved to VA when she was three, lived her all her life, got her first VA drivers license at age 16 using her hospital issued COLB, at age 21 when she moved to Ohio and got married, was divorced due to abuse three years later, moved back to VA renewed her Va drivers license using the same COLB, moved to SC for three year but did not need a license because she was using public transportation, moved back to VA and attemped to renew her expired VA license but was turned down because the new laws since 9/11 no longer allow a hospital issued COLB to be used for official ID purposes. It cost three weeks time and $55 to get a copy of her marriage license and a copy of her long form birth certificate to renew a license in the Viginia where she has actually HAD a VA license for a total of 31 years, her picture and previous license/driving record including her picture was on the DMV computer and she had her expired drivers license in her hand, and two bills with her name and address on them but they REFUSED to accept a COLB as proof of identity. If her COLB is not sufficient to get a drivers license RENEWED in the same state where she has already had a drivers license for 31 years, then don’t ask me to believe a computer generated COLB released in THREE different forms is sufficient to prove Obama is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN!

    There is absolutely NO reason on earth for him to have sealed every single record of every single school he attended and every single job he has held unless he is hiding something very important. And there is no down side to every single American insisting that he show his records just as Obama via SR 511 asked McCain to prove his natural born status.

    He’s on tour this week, but he’ll still be on the radio. He’ll be back on TV next week, getting the highest ratings at the 5pm timeslot. Why is a failure like him going on tour while doing his radio show (which is the 3rd most listened to radio program in America)? Clearly, Beck is on his way to obscurity.

    I won’t accept you moving to goal post. I want proof.

    What will you accept as proof? Obama for America, (now called Organizing for America after having merged with the DNC at the end of Jan 2008) Obama’s campaign PAC is legally required to release a quarterly statement detailing it’s financial records. And according to FEC records, the PAC has been paying international law firm Perkins Coie a monthly retainer since July of 2007, the month Obama formed his presidential exploratory committee… this is completely normal as all candidates need a law firm to make sure things remain kosher during their campaign. What is NOT normal is that since his inauguration, Obama for America has paid international law firm Perkins Coie exactly $1,666,397.01 (with a total of $2.6 million from the date he first formed his presidential exploratory committee) as of the release of their Jan. 22, 2011 disclosure forms. Perkins Coie is the law firm that has represented Obama in each of the “birther” cases, so it would be reasonable to assume that Obama has paid Perkins Coie somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 -1.5 million dollars to keep his records from being unsealed by the courts, with the rest being spent on retainer and misc. fees involved with the campaign.

    If you want more “proof” look the information up yourself…as you well know, Obama HAS done everything in his power, including paying a law firm, to keep his life’s records from being unsealed. It would be very unreasonable to assume he has gotten that legal defense for free.

    Nothing at all wrong with a good, strong, private sector union, but public section unions should be declared illegal and gotten rid of in all 50 states. It is absolutely ludicrous to allow elected officials to negotiate pay and benefits with the very people who donate funds to their election campaign coffers. This has led to unsustainable promises being made to the public sector unions by elected officials who have left office by the time those promises need to be (and cannot be) fulfilled. Public sector employees should be paid and receive benefits equal to the average equivalent position if it were held in the private sector instead of being “negotiated” between a politician and his largest donors. This goes for EITHER party because BOTH are guilty!

    This “ellie” is not interested in finding the truth or making things better. Her goal is to elevate Liberalism and to tear down America. You have to come at it from this angle because when you (you , me or anyone) assume that she will assimilate facts into her opinion so as to seek the truth, then we are mistaken.

    These types of liberals are not like us. Logic bounces off them and no matter how carefully we try to explain our position, she won’t care.

    The Modern Liberal belief system is not based on making things better.

    That doesn’t mean to stop writing here, but you have to include the people more in the middle so they can see how goofy the liberals are – this is the real goal.

    Peter F. Geithner (father of Obama’s Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner), worked for the Ford Foundation and oversaw the work of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, while she was developing “microfinance programs” in Indonesia. In brief, Obama’s mother set up a large loan system in Indonesia akin to the savings and loan structure of the 1970s and 1980s. To gain a better understanding of her activities in finance, despite her background in anthropology, recall the BCCI scandal of the late 1970s. In fact, some of the same “players” who existed then continue to exist in Obama’s circles.

    LOL The first thing you have said that I agree with! So Obama IS going to be releasing his records? ALL of the records he has had sealed? BTW, did you know that HI just changed to issuing the COLB similar to the one Obama released during the campaign last year? Fortunately for WND and a few other places investigating Obama they had people born in HI request their own long form and receive it so we do know what one looks like. And did you know that until last year HI did not accept a COLB as proof of citizenship themselves? It is funny what money will buy.

    I figure the whole truth will come out eventually, but in my eyes Obama will always be scum after he allowed a very good man to be sent to Leavenworth instead of just releasing his records. Lt Col Lakin has now lost his hard earned position in the military, his very hard earned pension his family was counting on upon his retirement, and is spending time in jail all because Obama is so arrogant he thinks he is above question…and the judge decided a sitting “president” would be embarrassed by what would show up should his life’s history be unsealed by the courts.

    Please stop the birther nonsense. Obama is a typical American red diaper baby, born in Hawaii. His Kenyan dad had almost nothing to do with his life, despite the Dreams From My Father mythmaking.

    Barack Obama is the son of white communist student from Kansas. Like most marxists at the time 18-year old Ann Dunham idolized the Third World as vanguard of the Revolution and hooked up with the first African socialist she could get her hands on.

    Obama Sr. had no reason to bring his pregnant Hawaiian bit-of-fun-on-the-side home with him to his wife and kids in Kenya. If Obama is hiding anything, it is the fact that he is the son of basically a white single mother.

    What this means is that if abortion was as much of an option to an unwed mother as it is today then there is a good chance Barack Obama would have been a casualty of an abortion and we would have been deprived of a President.

    How silly, Many Palin supporters (myself included) have advanced degrees, have run businesses, created jobs, were also professors (actually, he was a lecturer and according to some reports, not a particularly good one) and Palin herself has a Bachelors degree, not uneducated at all. Is Obama an Idiot? Probably not, but his policies don’t seem to have been well crafted, and like many court jesters, when he should be at his desk, he is often out on a vacay. Uh, Obama is middle aged… and your point is? Oh, and deciding to exercise her choice is supposed to be what you folk on the left call for. You would deny that to her? No? Then why the snark? And lastly, making a note to herself on her hand seems like quick thinking if nothing else was available. Perhaps though it is entirely like many on the right who claim that all the Palin Bashing from the left is really an indicator of how frightened they are of this woman.

    Sarah’s WAY better off when she keeps her big stupid mouth SHUT! Big shock that she’d jump on the ridiculous birther bandwagon! When is the Republican Partyy going to realize that this woman is nothing but a big-mouthed idiot and stop supporting her and talking her up. She’s as ignorant and useless as that dim-witted Michele Bachmann. Unfortunately she’s also got just as big a mouth backed by NO knowledge! I’m not surprised at the support either of them gets from the super-conservative Republicans or the moronic Tea Partyers. These people are the REAL dangers to America. Have none of them gotten the fact that the whole aim is to shrink Government and limit its power so the corporations can get stronger and carry on their rape of the country. Terrorists have NOTHING on these extremist wingnuts as far as being a danger to this country. Listen to ANY of these people carefully and you’ll see there is absolutely NO substance being presented, only a desire to topple the status quo, with NOTHING to replace it with. We desperately need to use our voting power to keep these people OUT of Government office. There are too many that got passed through in November and those who put them in are already seeing the consequences, such as the destruction of collective bargaining for public workers. Do ANY of these idiots realize what’s really happening and what the real agenda is? These offshoot groups were CREATED by the Republican party for exactly the purpose they’re serving. They want nothing more than to dismantle the regulations that keep their greed and selfishness in check. Wake up, you morons. You’re nothing but pawns and you WILL be sorry if this continues. If you want a clue, read a little George Orwell (“Animal Farm” & “1984″) and you’ll see where they want to take this country! Believe it! It’s already happening!

    LOL The first thing you have said that I agree with! So Obama IS going to be releasing his records? ALL of the records he has had sealed? BTW, did you know that HI just changed to issuing the COLB similar to the one Obama released during the campaign last year? Fortunately for WND and a few other places investigating Obama they had people born in HI request their own long form and receive it so we do know what one looks like. And did you know that until last year HI did not accept a COLB as proof of citizenship themselves? It is funny what money will buy.

    I figure the whole truth will come out eventually, but in my eyes Obama will always be scum after he allowed a very good man to be sent to Leavenworth instead of just releasing his records. Lt Col Lakin has now lost his hard earned position in the military, his very hard earned pension his family was counting on upon his retirement, and is spending time in jail all because Obama is so arrogant he thinks he is above question…and the judge decided a sitting “president” would be embarrassed by what would show up should his life’s history be unsealed by the courts.

    We should not have to be searching for birth certificates.

    The Constitution has age & citizenship requirements for the offices of President, Representative & Senator. I find it UNBELIEVEABLE to me that candidates for office are not required by Federal law to present bona fide credentials to election committees of each state before their names can be placed on the ballot that prove these requirements are met.

    I believe Congress must pass a law requiring candidates for office to provide original birth certificate and citizenship papers to the election official of each state before their name can be put on the ballot. This law must be passed before next year’s primaries begin.

    Candidates should have to provide these records themselves. We should not have to be searching them out for him or her.

    Peter F. Geithner (father of Obama’s Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner), worked for the Ford Foundation and oversaw the work of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, while she was developing “microfinance programs” in Indonesia. In brief, Obama’s mother set up a large loan system in Indonesia akin to the savings and loan structure of the 1970s and 1980s. To gain a better understanding of her activities in finance, despite her background in anthropology, recall the BCCI scandal of the late 1970s. In fact, some of the same “players” who existed then continue to exist in Obama’s circles.

    Wow, that is a major bombshell. It’s amazing how these liberals have their tentacles in all sorts of things. Gross.

    Look, we’re dealing with liberals here.

    Besides wondering how Obama got in without presenting his bona fides, one has to wonder how the Democratic Party itself allowed someone like him to even run. He has very little experience. You can see that he is ignorant of business and his background is so sketchy.

    Just by who he hung with, he wouldn’t be able to get a normal security clearance.

    But these types of liberals only care about power and they think the Constitution is in their way. I think Obama himself says it has “negative rights” in it.

    The system never contemplated having people who were anti-American running things.

    Let’s compare her job as Governor with Obama as Senator. Palin was right to quit. She was clear that with the national exposure, that she wouldn’t be able to do the job as good as she wanted and that someone who could devote their full energies to the job should be Governor.

Spending that $$ to keep it from being seen is as peculiar as it gets. And two, Tommy Christopher had an article up earlier explaining that he couldn’t show it by law even if he wanted to. If that’s the case, why would he have to spend all that $$ just to do something that was prevented by law anyway?

    Brown-nosing the Bottom Feeders

    That which we call a birther, by any other name, would still be an irrational, TFH-wearing bigot living in a state of denial.

    Every time a birther is shown a web link to, or hard copy of Obama’s official birth certificate (you know, the one that is recognized by the federal government when applying for a passport), they pull the equivalent of a 9-year old covering his ears and shouting “nyah, nyah, nyah, I can’t hear you!”

    You can lead right wingers to reality, but you cannot make them embrace it.

    Each state has its own standard for an official record of birth.

    You have to look at the motivations of the majority of the birthers to understand why they simply cannot “let go”. Fundamentally, it comes down to the following mindset: “I cannot accept THAT man in the White House because… . (fill in the blank).”

    Just about ANY reason will do — any excuse that will legitimize their race-based outrage. If it wasn’t about a birth certificate, it would be about his middle name. (He’s a closet Muslim, you know.)

    In addition, there are a handful of unscrupulous politicians and pundits who, although not necessarily racist themselves, have no problem capitalizing on the bigotry of others by fueling their fear and hatred of Obama in order to score political points or further a personal agenda.

    Enter Palin and “The Donald” …

    When you perpetuate a malicious rumor, you take ownership of it. Alas, Palin lacks the good sense to recognize her own character flaws, nor the decency to refrain from engaging in petty, vindictive gossip in a public forum.

    Donald Trump may very well have attained much of his wealth through cunning, guile, intimidation, and manipulation … however honesty, sincerity, and showing a healthy respect for the facts do not appear to be part of his repertoire.

    Trump has no other issue on which to hang his hat, otherwise he would not be making so much fuss about so little, especially when it’s pure speculative nonsense.

    Why do I get the feeling that Trump has a bust of PT Barnum proudly displayed on his mantle?
    He seems to regard the vast majority of Americans as a bunch of suckers, eagerly clinging to every self-serving comment that he makes, regardless of whether his “insights” have any basis in fact.

    Donald Trump is little more than Meg Whitman with a necktie. “Vote for me. I’m filthy rich, I’m bombastic, I don’t believe in federal regulations, I know how to cut subordinates down to size, …. and by the way, did I say I’m rich?”

    No surprise that Republicans cannot learn from history, since they are continually revising it.

    Natural Born Citizen, US Constitution:

    Article II, Section 1, clause 5:

    “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

    http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/article02/

    One of our founders (John Jay) obtained the definition of “natural born Citizen” from The Law of Nations (Vattel):

    The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens… (Vattel in Book 1, Sec 212)

    The Founders’ intent was to prevent foreign influence on the office of President.

    Obama’s father was a British subject at the time of Obama’s birth. Obama is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

    Obama should just immediately produce the documents. We’ll see if he does it right before the 2012 election.

    Alz, you don’t seem so far gone that you can’t get your head around this… so please, listen clearly: Obama cannot “just release the document” when it comes to the long form. You said you read that other article, but you must have missed something. Best to go back and read it again.

    And then read this highly informative summary, too:

    The bottom line is this. IN HAWAII, the long-form is NOT available to be copied by anybody, including the said person who is listed on the birth certificate. Obama can, if he chooses, fly to Hawaii in person to visit the Health Department himself, where he may view the document. But he cannot photocopy it, take a picture of it, or remove it to send elsewhere. ONLY the Certificate of Live Birth is available for anybody in Hawaii that currently requests proof of their birth. Period. And Obama’s certificate has been validated six ways from Sunday. It is time for every sensible person to give it a rest. You seem like you *could* be sensible if you so choose. I recommend you choose and hope you’ll choose wisely. If not, well, then I feel for you. But the truth is what it is.

    As for Obama spending $2 million to “cover it up”… no, not exactly. He’s spent $2 million in fighting frivolous lawsuits filed by twits like Trump who seen this as a way to distract him from what he’d rather be doing, like running for President prior to his current term and running the country now. The tragedy for all of us is that the Republicans once wanted to engage on the issues that mattered. But one day they found out that B.S. media manipulation got them more traction with the nitwits out there and that there are more nitwits who want to vote than there are otherwise sensible people. Ergo, the Republicans especially (though not exclusively) run on nitwit platforms and stay in office by toeing the nitwit line.

    If an idiot like Trump gains White-House-worthy momentum from this line of crap, then we’ll deserve what we get. But God willing, rationality won’t let that happen. It remains to be seen.
