I have been real... I predicted this was going to happen a long time ago here on ET. People ask why Hillary did not push this issue. I think she cut a deal of secretary of state and one term. I think Obama knows he is one term. -- Its either that or 1. he has the originals and can prove his birth? 2. or amt4swa's boy is right and Obama's family was working for the CIA and that there people at the top were comfortable enough with national security issues relative to available proof to drop the issue. -- What we do know is his father was from Kenya, his mom traveled all over, he was educated outside of the U.S. You would have to be nuts to take a politicians word for the fact he is a natural born citizen... especially when the term is not well defined. So when high profile republicans or democrat competitors don't make and issue of it... its either national security... or something really off the wall.
All of Obamas actions clearly point to running for a 2nd term.He has a 45-50 % approval rating and poll after poll shows he would beat or is within a few points of every 2012 Republican contender.No way is he going to step down for Hilary.Gibbs has announced today that he is stepping down to resume his position as campaign spokesmen and Axelrod has already started on Obamas 2012 run I dont think he will ever need to show the original.Federal government always trump state government,and the federal government and the Supreme Court says Hawaii's COLB is sufficient for proof of birth.The Supreme Court may have to step in to give some of these red states a reality check,but Obama will be on every ballot in 2012 I dont take Obamas word for it that he was born in Hawaii,I take the State of Hawaii's word for it that he was born in Hawaii.Hawaii's health dept,Hawaii's republican governor and Hawaii's official state BC all say Obama was born in Hawaii.In 1961 Hawaiis health dept announced in 2 newspapers that Obama was born in Hawaii The CIA thing ? I love amt4swa's posts,but please dont start taking his posts seriously
1. You do not think the states have a right to say who can be on their ballot? Why do we have and electoral college? It is not clear to me how the fed courts will rule on that issue. 2. You do not understand evidence. A birth certificate may be a valid document but still not be competent to be evidence as to place of birth.... in a court room. A lawyer can't walk in with a doc and say... you see here this document says that produce was made in China ... therefore my client is off the hook. Or you see this drivers license from HI, it says my client was old enough to drink, therefore my client is 21 .... case dismissed. Thats not the way the law works. You have to lay foundation to be admissible as evidence, then the trier of fact gets to weigh the evidence. Once Obama's lawyer made proffer your colb as evidence -- The first thing a lawyer would do would say is objection foundation. Objection, Hearsay and in some courts Objection, best evidence rule. Who will have to lay the foundation for the birth certificate? The record keeper. Who would lay the foundation for place of birth.... the best record on the subject matter. The original. If the original is lost, then it is anybody's guess what will happen. here is what would happen after the recent copy of the B.C. is offered. Objection foundation. Granted so Obama's lawyer would have to bring in the record keeper. Then you would need the record keeper. Then you would ask the record keeper how this document came to be printed. Where did it draw the data from. How is the data gathered. Is there an original. Can the original be produced for inspection. By the way the newpaper announcements... didn't those prove to be a fiction made up by a blogger?
None of that will matter imo.This will never see a courtroom trail .If the states pass a law saying Obama has to show the original,The Supreme Court will step in and say the Hawaiis COLB is sufficient.The Supreme Court and the federal government says Hawaiis COLB is sufficient for proof of birth,they will not let states override their position The birth announcements are real,and they weren't sent by Obamas parents but by Hawaii's health dept
1. as to the place of birth the original is sufficient. the birth certificate would not even come in as evidence unless the original is lost. 2. do you have a link saying they were sent by HI. I would consider that a solid piece of evidence. If the state of HI announced a HI birth in a timely manner... you would have the best evidence I have heard of.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...rs-claim-gibbs-lied-when-he-said-obamas-birt/ We have one more thing. We talked to reporter Will Hoover, who wrote a well-researched story for the Honolulu Advertiser on Nov. 9, 2008, about Obama's childhood years in the the Aloha State. It ran under the headline "Obama Slept Here." In researching the story, he went to the microfilm archives and found the birth announcement for Obama. Actually, he found two of them, one in his Honululu Advertiser on Aug. 13 , 1961, and in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin the next day . They both said the same thing: "Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Highway, son, Aug. 4." But here's the thing. Newspaper officials he checked with confirmed those notices came from the state Department of Health. "That's not the kind of stuff a family member calls in and says, 'Hey, can you put this in?'" Hoover explained. Take a second and think about that. In order to phony those notices up, it would have required the complicity of the state Health Department and two independent newspapers â on the off chance this unnamed child might want to one day be president of the United States.
well now we have to take a reporters word for it. hardly a credible source given what the media has become... But, if it is true, I would expect to see that microfilm be subpoenaed and reviewed and if its true, that would be pretty strong evidence.
Yet you would rather take the birthers and WND's word for it?Lets look at a few proven lies they have told 1.The Pakistan travel ban-proven lie 2.The Kenya BC-proven lie 3.His grandmother said he was born in Kenya-proven lie 4.He could get a Hawaii BC saying he was born in HA even if he was born somewhere else-proven lie 5.Obama's COLB is fake-proven lie 6.Obama got student aid only available to foreign students-proven lie etc etc etc
No need to be subpoenaed,the micro films are available at the public library.Maybe the newspapers decided to get on the conspiracy in 1961 "In 1961, birth notices for Barack Obama were published in both the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin on August 13 and August 14, 1961, respectively, listing the home address of Obama's parents as 6085 Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu. On November 9, 2008, in response to the persistent rumors, the Advertiser posted on its web site a screenshot of the announcement taken from its microfilmed archives. Such notices were sent to newspapers routinely by the Hawaii Department of Health. In an editorial published on July 29, 2009, the Star-Bulletin pointed out that both newspapers' vital-statistics columns are available on microfilm in the main state library. "Were the state Department of Health and Obama's parents really in cahoots to give false information to the newspapers, perhaps intending to clear the way for the baby to someday be elected president of the United States?" the newspaper asked sarcastically"
