FOX News still shilling for the Cheneys.

Why not make that a blog entry and run with it, AI?

It is impossible to expect objectivity on this topic - but it is inane and seriously affects the credibility you have earned in so many other topics for you to persist in your hate campaign on Obama. Move on and work with us on things that will make a difference.

One of my staff who is near retirement, was born in a small town in Missouri with major errors in her birth certificate that were not discovered until more recent requirements for more extensive documentation. Folks in the local social security office noted that the issues of how the names were listed and accurate dates are not unusual. I suspect that there are a good number of folks who might have real issues roving their natural born character by your concerns over parental nationality - e.g. those who do not know who their father is (as on Jerry Springer). Do you want to really dwell on this line - what if we did not know who Obama's father was? Would you want to require DNA tests too?

This tilting at windmills over Obama's citizenship is insane. He is a citizen. He is the POTUS. Neither of those are going to change. This petty sniping re: his citizenship is just a diversion. The soldier who just challenged this in court was a set up. He volunteered for Afghanistan several months after Obama had taken office and then objected about going since Obama had no authority due to Obama not being a citizen. If he truly believed that he should not have volunteered. He was simply a tool of the right wing's attempt to keep this dead issue alive.

Paul, I've repeatedly cited the respected legal authority dating back to the time of the adoption of the U.S. Constitution through the adoption of the 14th Amendment that supports my interpretation of natural born citizen. You choose to ignore it and rely on contrary views in support of your contention. I don't deny the existence of your's; you want to pretend my view point is not supported when you know damn good and well it is. Obama has successfully pulled off the biggest fraud in American political history. I will teaach that viewpoint to everyone I know to my dying day. Say what you want about it, but those of who still respect the Constitution will not be denied our free speech rights by revisionist liberals hell-bent on convincing the American people that Obama is something that he so clearly is not.

It is an inescapable fact that when confronted with questions, Obama opted to deflect, deny and disparage rather than meet the challenge head-on to clear it up. Instead, media groups were used to disseminate bits and pieces of 'proof.'

That is most peculiar.

2009-07-23T00:58:57.458-05:00

It is disinformation to insist that it is "respected American legal authority" holds that one born in a U.S. state is not a natural born citizen. Existing British law at the time of the adoption of the U.S. Constitution provided that anyone born on British soil was a natural born British subject. It is not rocket science to see that the founders simply changed the word subject to citizen to suit a Republic. Moreover, Supreme Court precedent going back 150 years makes clear that one born in a U.S. state, even to foreign parents, is a citizen BY BIRTH, therefore natural born citizen. Neitehr British law then, nor US law now, recognize the oft flaunted 'dual citizenship.' In US eyes, you are a citizen or you are not. Obama clearly was born a citizen.

It is very convenient that the birthers waited until after the election to raise this issue, which was far thornier and problematic for McCain, who was not born in a state, nor in a territory of the US, but in the foreign country of Panama, prior to legislation which provided that those born in the Canal Zone were citizens, when McCain was not even born in the Canal Zone. As you well know, Gary, the Senate resolution was advisory only, cannot serve to overrule existing law. The other presidential candidates had standing to bring this issue prior to the election. None did. McCain had real personal reason not to raise it. Clinton certainly would have if it were a viable argument. It was not then, and is not now. No responsible person in government is going to advocate the ex post facto challange of the qualifications of a presidential candidate. It is for that reason that such challanges must take place prior to the election. No Court will ever entertain such an action, in the face of clear legislation requiring that such challanges be made by other candidates prior to the election.

Obama must have a team that scours the net for anything written about his birth certificate.

We read your blog everyday Gary. And have never seen these people.

Because I have every reason to believe you fabricated the story like your name. Obama paid thousands of workers to do what you are doing right now throughout last year's campaign. I see the disinformation campaign from hell will never end.

I don't know about that, I haven't needed to keep track of every state's protocols. But record-keeping has and always has had glitches. My background is murkier still, because my mother was born at her parent's country farmhouse in a Wisconsin blizzard in 1920 and her birth was not recorded at the time. It slipped through the cracks. And when she was an adult and needed a birth certificate, her older brother had to file some sort of affidavit to attest to her birth - he had been home then, although a child at the time. So, I could be suspected, I suppose, of not being really who I say I am. But of course I am not suspected of that. I wonder why?
By the way, I am an interested party, in lots of things. Why the "so-called"?

Did your certificate of live birth indicate that one of your parents was not a U.S. citizen, so- called "interested party"? Wisconsin, like Indiana, didn't have an open-ended birth registration like Hawaii, that allowed any parents to register their child's birth there regardless of their place of birth.

I was born in Wisconsin. I do not have the original of my birth certificate. It was apparently lost in my childhood. When I needed to show it for some reason, a job or school or something, I called the County Clerk's office to get my "birth certificate." They issued me a Certificate of Live Birth.

Strauss is part of the rapid fire Obama hit team who are always around to obfuscate but are always short on the evidence. See this article for a good summary of the elusive Obama records:

Re: "Obama has a team of lawyers devoted to making sure that nobody has access to any of his college records at Occidental, Columbia University or Harvard Law School."

Not true. All the lawsuits against Obama were to stop the election, stop the certification of the election or now to nullify the election. There has not been a single lawsuit that simply asked for records.

Re: "He will not allow Hawaii officials to release his original birth certificate."

Not true. Hawaii does not release the original birth certificate at all to anyone no matter who authorizes it. It only releases the summary document known as the Certification of Live Birth. http://www.starbulletin.com/features/20090606_kokua_line.html

Thus unless Obama has a copy of the original birth certificate himself, and not lost the original as many of us do, all that he can show, and all that Hawaii will show, is the Certification of Live Birth, which is what Obama has already showed.

Re: "It is undisputed that school records obtained by an AP reporter showed that the legal name under which Obama was registered at a Jakarta school was "Barry Soetoro." "

It is disputed. There is no evidence that Obama legally changed his name. He simply used the name "Barry Soetoro." I had a Chinese name when I was in Asia. I did not have to change my name legally to use it.

Also, Obama was never a citizen of Indonesia, both the US State Department and the Indonesian government have now said.
