    Shepard Smith is the “most respected newscaster” by liberals only when liberals like what he has to say.

    this makes absolutely no difference. even after shep took up the cause begun with jon stewart shaming the republicans about there abandonment of 9/11 workers, there were still people siding with what they really have respect for…and it’s not 9/11 responders.

  • Black and Gold Brad

    Too late Shep.

    The One has been damaged in the eyes of many, as he claims the title of Captain Transparency, while hiding everything about himself, from his birth records to his college transcripts.

  • ImJustThatDamnGood

    @ Shep Smith: Thank You, Hopefully conservatives will shut up now because Fox News has confirmed the truth.

  • josecuervoisgood

    Now that the trio of Smith, O’Reilly and Beck all agree there is no doubt Obama is an American can we now ignore the birthers and get back to discussing real issues?

  • murphy0071

    The facts surrounding President Obama’s birth have been known for years. He was clearly born in Honolulu, Hawaii and no where else. Facts are more important than political affiliation. Birthers should start their own party so they will stand for the lies they have been spreading for years.

    The Republicans have played along with them to make political capital. Republicans are no more than a group of Nazis who will tell the biggest lies possible and eventually, just as under Hitler, most of the population will believe anything that is repeated enough no mater how false.

    Mark Belling even said that his issue was in wondering why Obama refuses to show his BC when most people can proudly and easily do so. Belling accepts that Obama is born in Hawaii (as do I), but I find it weird that someone at the Presidential level (R or D) wouldn’t just produce a copy for historical sake at least.

    The BC’s I have seen (from multiple states) show cursive writing on the official document. Why do you have a problem with him showing any of this stuff? It should be commonplace. Compare John McCain’s to Obama’s. There are stark differences. And it is my understanding that there was an individual born around the same time as Obama that could get an actual BC. It’s called being transparent. You don’t have to like it, but if you want an issue to be a non-issue, work with facts and not conjecture.

    Belling thinks that there is legitimate concern that the real reason Obama doesn’t release the official BC is because it could bring down his book “Dreams of my Father”…I’d never considered that angle before. And Belling’s not some righty nut. He says that people that don’t think he’s born in the US are nuts, but that to put the issue to bed, Obama should produce his actual BC. I don’t think that’s an unfair thing to do.

    What about the Connecticut number series? It’s an interesting question, but there’s no law that says you have to get your SSN from a Social Security office in the state where you reside. Nowadays, they are all processed centrally and the assignment is based on the zip code of the return address. My guess (and that’s all it is) is that Obama got his SSN as a child living in Indonesia and the application was just processed in Connecticut. A commenter here made another suggestion and that is that Obama’s return address was mistyped, the initial “9″ typed as a “0″ which would turn a Hawaiian zip code into one from Connecticut.

    Umm, not for nothing, but I had to get a birth certificate from my state DOH and it looks like Barry’s COLB. Recently I was going thru some of my mom’s papers and found one of the photostat copies like you describe.
    Why do you suppose the state gave me a COLB instead of a copy of what my mom had in her file. Is it all a vast left wing conspiracy? Maybe my actual birth certificate lists me as a Muslim (it doesn’t even mention religion, actually). Maybe, just cause you wanna believe Barry is different from other Americans, you will refuse to face facts. But that’s OK, America has always had its share of people out of touch with reality, and you can be a proud member of that group.
    I just hope the birther movement has enough steam to keep going thru 2012. It’s the Obama 2012 Secret Weapon.

    PS: Shep was just trying to save the Republicans from themselves, but they refuse to believe.

    I don’t care what Obama’s religion is. I believe he’s agnostic or atheist. One of the two. That’s a non-issue for me. I just prefer transparency. The Governor of the state of Hawaii said that he saw Obama’s BC. Therefore, one exists and until it’s produced in copy form, it’s going to be an issue.

    Shep won’t save anything for Republicans since he isn’t one. As I said, produce the documentation and the issue is dropped.

    Or better yet, have Obama issue an executive order stating that the Hospital that he was born in has permission to make his birth document official. That would prove the hospital and physician issue alone and the issue is put to bed.

    What’s the SS issue? I don’t really pay attention to all of it. I just hear bits and pieces all over. I just think that clarification from the actual hospital and actual doctor would put it to rest.

    TP: Obama’s certified Social Security Number, 042-68-4425, according to his selective service card filled out in July 1980, was originally issued to a Jean Paul Ludwig of Connecticut in 1977. Jean Paul Ludwig was born in 1890 and died in either Hawaii or California in 1981 having two social security numbers issued to him.
    Q: Is there anyone who argues that President Obama’s Social Security Number is not 042-68-4425?
    TP: The first three digits of a Social Security Number are called the Area Number. (Prior to 1972 the area number represented the state in which the card was issued. After 1972 the area number was based on zip codes of the mailing address provided.) Connecticut’s area numbers range from 040-049; Hawaii’s area numbers range from 575-576.
    TP: Obama’s maternal mother Madelyn Dunham worked part-time at the Probate Office of the Honolulu Courthouse that has access to death notices and social security numbers.

    No, he never saw it. He can’t because it’s against the law. Obama can’t produce it in copy form. It’s against the law. He was given a COLB, which is what everyone gets. The state of Hawaii validates its authenticity.

    No, Obama was born in Hawaii. I just wish to know who his practicing physician was. I tend to lean towards the legality of issues and the legal world likes to deal with paper trails. Hence, if a document was produced from the hospital to show that X was the practicing physician, that would be more than adequate.

Apparently his mom was young and a liberal and so there may not be someone listed or some other person that his actual father could be listed. I think that makes the most logical sense.

    The facts surrounding President Obama’s birth have been known for years. He was clearly born in Honolulu, Hawaii and no where else.

    That is not the issue — only a handful of nutcases think he was born in another country.

    Also, in a majority of states including Hawaii, following an adoption the original birth certificate is locked away and only a court order can allow it to be released. (Good luck with that, Donald Trump)

    The issue, therefore, has been the name on the amended birth certificate — whether it says Barack Hussein Obama II or Barry Soetoro. As far as I know, it is legal for a person to resume using his or her birth name, even if there is an amended birth certificate on file that shows a different name.

    The only question remaining for me would be, whether Mr Obama was ever asked to swear that he’d never been known by a different name. For instance, when he applied for a license to practice law in the State of Illinois, did he swear truthfully or not?

    If not, then this might be a source of embarrassment, but that is all. I doubt that the Illinois Bar Association will make an issue of this technical detail.

In December 2009, The New York Post mentioned a private party hosted by Nouriel Roubini including Oliver Stone, George Soros, and Donald Trump.” The Beck crew pointed out that Trump keeps interesting company for a Tea Party candidate…Anybody else find it odd that he would say let’s get off of George Soros, because he’s at the money level and power player enough to know how much that kind of money can make a difference.”

    “Beck and company attacked Trump’s birtherism, “His whole campaign is based on the whole birther nonsense. Pat then brought up the AP story that noted that no Trump investigators have been seen in Hawaii, “Apparently, the short is all that Hawaii ever releases for anyone…including the President. They then kept hammering at Trump’s birtherism, “For him to release his own birth certificate, you would have to be advocating for him to be above the law. You cannot. They can’t release it. Even to the president. He can examine it himself there. Would you believe him if he examined it and said it looked real? Would ya? I’d love to see that.”

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jay-Ray/100000280184693 Jay Ray

    It is common knowledge that Obama has NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE on File in Hawaii. Tim Adams, the 2008 Chief Elections clerk for Hawaii, researched all of Hawaii’s records to verify Obama’s citizenship and stated: “THERE IS NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR OBAMA”, in addition, he stated that his boss said there was “NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR OBAMA”, and that everyone working there “KNEW IT”. He also stated there were “NO HOSPITAL RECORDS FOR OBAMA”. These are THE facts — has anyone read the new handbook The Obama Birth Certificate Question? If not, it has a question and answer format and factually answers the most important questions regarding the Obama birth certificate and his eligibility to be President. There are 15 questions and answers and there are documents in it too. I wish everyone would get the FACTS — we are SO TIRED of hearing about 2 newspaper birth announcements made 8 days later, with no details of WHERE he was born, and giving a false address, that mean NOTHING. What about, then, the newspaper ARTICLES before the 2008 election that stated Obama was “KENYAN-BORN”?????????

    At the very least, Obama could make a statement and say “I don’t have my original BC because of X and this is the only document that I’ve got.” I’d give him some credibility there. But until there is an actual birth certificate OR documentation from a hospital record that X doctor provided assistance, there’s not going to be any end game.

    Which is why to me, his religion or birth place doesn’t matter. He’ll lose on gas prices alone – which will be traced back to his own words. :)

    Shep Smith of Fox News is strongly coming out against the Trump birther nonsense.

    But over at MSNBC they run at least one Trump / birther segment every hour.

    This just goes to prove the point I have been making from the get-go….The liberal media is the main force in keeping this Trump birther garbage in the headlines as a big story. They pretend mock outrage that the story won’t go away, and then run another story on it…hour after hour, night after night, week after week. Trump gets ten times as much coverage from the liberal media as all the other candidates combined.

    And why? Well, that’s easy to explain. The liberal afraid is DEATHLY AFRAID of dealing with the real issues of the day — stagnant economy, chronic unemployment, out-of-control deficits, a failed military policy, a porous border, etc. They need something they can defend about Obama, and THE ONLY THING they can come up with his place of birth.

The liberal afraid is DEATHLY AFRAID of dealing with the real issues of the day — stagnant economy, chronic unemployment, out-of-control deficits, a failed military policy, a porous border, etc. They need something they can defend about Obama, and THE ONLY THING they can come up with his place of birth. So don’t expect the liberal media to give up on this story any time soon.

    And yet here you are, helping to keep the birther nonsense alive. Good job.

    It is common knowledge that Obama has NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE on File in Hawaii. Tim Adams, the 2008 Chief Elections clerk for Hawaii, researched all of Hawaii’s records to verify Obama’s citizenship and stated: “THERE IS NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR OBAMA”, in addition, he stated that his boss said there was “NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR OBAMA”, and that everyone working there “KNEW IT”. He also stated there were “NO HOSPITAL RECORDS FOR OBAMA”. These are THE facts — has anyone read the new handbook The Obama Birth Certificate Question? If not, it has a question and answer format and factually answers the most important questions regarding the Obama birth certificate and his eligibility to be President. There are 15 questions and answers and there are documents in it too. I wish everyone would get the FACTS — we are SO TIRED of hearing about 2 newspaper birth announcements made 8 days later, with no details of WHERE he was born, and giving a false address, that mean NOTHING. What about, then, the newspaper ARTICLES before the 2008 election that stated Obama was “KENYAN-BORN”?????????

    so now you just want to lie about stuff? you guys are a joke, really.

    Honolulu confirms Adams employment

    by DR. CONSPIRACY on JUNE 10, 2010 in BIRTH CERTIFICATE, TIM ADAMS

    This is a followup to my report on the Tim Adams radio appearance.

    In an email reply, the Secretary of the City Clerk’s office for the City and County of Honolulu (the office that contains the Elections division) told me:

    Our records indicate that Mr. Adams was employed in a clerical position as an Elections Clerk. Our office does not have access to birth records. Birth records are handled by the State of Hawaii, Department of Health.

    Tim Adams never claimed to have access to birth records, and this confirms that he didn’t, which makes it all the more improbable that Adams knew that Barack Obama “had no long form birth certificate.”

    I’m not publishing the name of the secretary who replied to me possibly to reduce the number of additional emails she gets with the same question.

Instead liberals live in a fantasy world in which the next election will be decided by a piece of paper in Hawaii.

    Is Obama a natural born? Well, what do you mean? Were you there when the Constitution was being written up? You agree he is native born, so he has citizenship by birth. Are you trying to say he still isn’t a natural born citizen? The argument is now that his dad wasn’t a citizen so he isn’t?

    It isn’t a matter of what we’re for or against. It’s a matter of what he needs to do, which is absolutely nothing. This is such a dead end road. Why should he do anything more than he’s already done which is release a perfectly legal proof of citizenship? They LOVE this stuff. Why do you think the MSM is pushing Trump as the new GOP star? Same reason they were selling us Huckabee last time.

    It would not shock me to find that Trump is in on the gag. He has been working for Jeff Immelt for years now, hasn’t he. And MSNBC is The Birther Channel, is it not?

    no need to for nutsacks like you because you already have your mind made up. if you choose you use your own mind instead of parroting the likes of ann coulter you might learn something. you might even learn something from reading…not just spewing you right-wing bull…the articles posted here at mediaite.

    Graham, unlike me, has spoken with the President about his beliefs, yet even I know that Graham’s statement is a falsehood:

    So one Sunday, I put on one of the few clean jackets I had, and went over to Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street on the South Side of Chicago. And I heard Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright deliver a sermon called “The Audacity of Hope.” And during the course of that sermon, he introduced me to someone named Jesus Christ. I learned that my sins could be redeemed. I learned that those things I was too weak to accomplish myself, He would accomplish with me if I placed my trust in Him. And in time, I came to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death, but rather as an active, palpable agent in the world and in my own life.
    It was because of these newfound understandings that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity one day and affirm my Christian faith. It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany. I didn’t fall out in church, as folks sometimes do. The questions I had didn’t magically disappear. The skeptical bent of my mind didn’t suddenly vanish. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side, I felt I heard God’s spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth and carrying out His works.
    It seems like President Obama’s beliefs about what makes him a Christian line up pretty well with Graham’s, and certainly doesn’t rest his spiritual conversion on a membership card

I fully believe that Obama is either agnostic or an atheist. His actions and inaction have proven this opinion to me. I don’t need some political commentary person telling me what is shown by words and action or inaction. Simple as that.

    Plus, I give TC a lot of credit for being a true liberal. Many liberals can’t defend their talking points. I give O’Donnell credit for actually coming out and saying that he’s a socialist. Doesn’t mean I like the guy, but at least I can respect his honesty on the matter.

NO, he is not respectable as he has been using that cruel gag for a year now. However, his news delivery is effective and, certainly, FOX news is the best.

    As for the “Birth Certificate”: The fact that so many Politicos, Left and Right, are trying to convince me that all is copacetic, tells me, to be very wary as something is amiss. I don’t know that is, but our President could do the correct and simple thing, and solve this conundrum.

    I agree. That’s why up until recently, I don’t pay regards to anything Birther. I’m of the notion that you can’t turn back the clock on the issue until he’s out of office. I think Mitt, Pawlenty and Palin coming out against the Birther stuff is important. Capehart even came out as pro Palin for about 30 secs when she said that he was born in Hawaii.

    There is no actual person that thinks Trump has any credibility in a GOP Field. Ron Paul has more chances of winning the nomination. Both Trump and RP are non-starters. The media is being fooled and it will be to their own detriment, not the GOP (if one still exists in 2012), that will lose.

    I agree. That’s why up until recently, I don’t pay regards to anything Birther. I’m of the notion that you can’t turn back the clock on the issue until he’s out of office. I think Mitt, Pawlenty and Palin coming out against the Birther stuff is important. Capehart even came out as pro Palin for about 30 secs when she said that he was born in Hawaii.

    There is no actual person that thinks Trump has any credibility in a GOP Field. Ron Paul has more chances of winning the nomination. Both Trump and RP are non-starters. The media is being fooled and it will be to their own detriment, not the GOP (if one still exists in 2012), that will lose.

    That would be disappointing. I hope Trump gets the Repugnantcan nomination.

    The 14th is pretty clear on the subject:

    Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

    The only way one can be born here and not be a US Citizen is if they fall under a jurisdiction exception which include foreign diplomats as well as some convoluted issue surrounding sovereign Indian nations. Set that jurisdiction clause aside and the language couldn’t be any clearer.

    How is it up to the parents? Show me.

    Wong Kim Ark had nothing to do with his parents’ consent or objection. It had to do with the Chinese Exclusion Act. That law was struck down on the basis of the 14th, and Wong was found to be a citizen by virtue of having been born in the US. Holding:

    “A child born in the United States, of parent[s] of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil[e] and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States.”

    That supports my argument, not yours.

    The parents don’t get to decide. A child born in America (that is not one of a couple of very narrow exceptions relating to jurisdiction) is a US citizen. The 14th Amendment does not include a parental consent requirement.

    I think if clarity was provided to the 14th amendment, this could help matters out. There is a fraction of society that believes natural born pertains to mother-father and not born or not born in the US. I think that’s a fair assessment too.

    Exactly, Paul. Many nations allow dual citizenship. The US technically does not. The child decides upon citizenship upon attaining majority, or not. The US assumes US citizenship if no decision is made.

    skoorbekim said:

    Wong was an adult at the time and his parents’ desire was irrelevant to the case. Wong wanted to be a citizen and his legal argument was that he was born here. He won. Period.

    I really want to emphasize Pablo’s point about amendments. Framers’ intent does not factor in the interpretation of an amendment. To the extent interpretation factors in at all, you’d look and the intent of those proposing the amendment. Therein lies one of the pitfalls. Amendments should be rare and never merely for social policy, to which witness the prohibition amendment. Once you’ve got the amendment, however, it is the definitive law on the subject at hand.

    IMHO, they should have put a date limit on the birthright citizenship, similar to the exception in the POTUS qualifications that let those who were born British subjects be eligible…since just about everyone was at the time. They needed to settle the question for former slaves, but in doing so they left the door wide open for all of time.

    His college records, transcripts, and admission records would go a long way to proving to you dummies that 0bama is a socialist loving dunce, who got in through affirmative action, and or who paid his way. Not that it would matter to you, however. It all points to character, you understand? Not that that matters to you, however.

    His SSN controversy would go a long way to proving that he is a felon. Not that it would matter to you, however. His passport information would go a long way to proving what nationality best suited his needs at the time. Once again pointing to his character, or lack thereof. Not that it would matter to you, BUT, some of us would just love to LAUGH our asses off at your choice of “leader” of the free world.

    I agree with dipshit. He IS a U.S. citizen, which is what dipshit said. That does NOT mean he is a “natural born citizen” as required by the Constitution.

    And no, that isn’t a birth certificate. It is a certificate of live birth. Not the same thing. 0bama’s sister has one, too, and she was NOT born in the U.S.

    When Bachmann, Santorum, and even Glen Beck for chrissakes are not with you — you teabaggers have fallen off the edge into the abyss of ignorance and profound stupidity.

  • BruinAlum77

    This is just like Iraq and WMD. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld misrepresented the facts (call it what you will – either lies or distortions) and the sheep in this country swallowed the story hook, line and sinker. At one point, 66% of the population believed in this lie.

    Then, when the facts came out with the testimony of head weapons inspector David Kay, Bush started saying there were no WMD in Iraq. But half those sheep refused to believe Bush when he recanted and 33% of the people still believe there are WMD hidden somewhere in the Middle East.

    The bottom line is, once a story has been created in the minds of these simple people, their belief systems outweigh any rational thought. I thought that if Bill O came out and ended the birther nonsense, that would be the end of it. Now, we have Huckabee, Bachmann and a host of other conservatives coming out against the birther conspiracy, yet the trolls keep it alive.

    You are one of two people who have corrected me here. When I say the White House I mean Obama. When I say release it I mean request a photocopy of the original. A request from the WH I’m certain you both agree would be honored by the state of Hawaii. The reason the WH refuses is that even if they did, there would be people who would call it phony. But how about the rest of us who want to see one with original signatures? I would believe it.

    Not true. The state of Hawaii will release copy of original peruant to a freedom of information request. I know there is a lot of bad info out there, I heard the same thing as well. Watch the second video on this page and you will see.

    Now you know that the protection of the document proving Obama’s eligibility has gotten a little wierd when you start getting information about how illegal it is for Obama to get a copy.

    You could see that Client number nine guy start to squirm when he got a dose of “why you cant see it” rational from the CNN investigator. He was a 1000% believer in the nativity of Obama and still found himself squirming.

    It is illegal for the POTUS to get a copy of the original.. That’s squirm material right there!

  • WHarropson

    Oh, by the way. To get a copy of the State certification is $7. Correct me but I think the CNN investigator said the freedom of information request was free. Now what’s the excuse?

  • WHarropson

    Just to make sure you see the right video on the page it is the one with the inscription:
    “Evidence shows Obama born in Hawaii ”

    It’s the one with Spitzer who squirms at the results of the report.

  • Rockycomet

    The humor coming from this “birth” issue is never ending. Naturally that is not enough his transcripts come into question and that is not enough so we have to bring in his medical transcripts because we are sure he is “hiding something” somewhere. There are of course many opinions as to what he is “hiding” based on little or no facts. The passion involved becomes a psychosis for many.

    So OK let’s say hypothetically there is something that disqualifies him. What then he steps down and Biden steps up? Really! That’s a solution? In the end with the election on the near horizon this issue will be put to rest and the extremism will take a different form. That is the way of any psychosis.

    Trump in his arrogant way is an opportunist who sees an easy way to get attention. He has gotten plenty of it. Why? The Media loves to feed the populace what it thrives on sensationalism and what is often classified as the crazies. It is said that common sense is not a very common thing. It appears that it is becoming even less common these days. We are focusing on everything but the most important things we need to. No matter what the outcome of the next election if we don’t COLLECTIVELY regain a proper focus we will be in dire straits. There is merit to the statement “United we stand divided we fall”.

    I saw the video with Spitzer. He clearly was making the same point most individuals make “why doesn’t he just show it and get this over with”. Gary also clearly stated that the administration feels that it would not resolve the issue because there are people who would not accept the document as valid either so why bother. You may but many still won’t. I think they will eventually bother to produce it in time and at a time most politically beneficial.

    This has gotten to the point of being worse than ignorant. But many of us have said the president could release the copy of the original and some people will still say he wasn’t born here and sure enough, plenty of them are on this site posting with their lack of even average intelligence. Surely some of these folks would qualify as imbeciles they are so dense. The president was born in the USA and is a natural born citizen and – wait for it- THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Any claims to the contrary are demonstrating their ignorance. You need to give it up. As the president said, we have had enough of the side shows and carnival barkers.

    I am a patriotic constitutionalist American and don’t feel derided. You have derided Obama as not being a man because he hasn’t accommodated your wishes. Your dislike of the man is apparent. Given your dislike or more likely hatred of him how would any document produced be accepted as valid by those who feel as you do? I am not a fan of BHO but I also believe there is nothing to gain by demanding what will be provided eventually (i.e. next election). I believe there is enough information given and that hasn’t been sufficient for those consumed by hatred under the guise of “right to know what he is hiding”.
