It’s completely within Obama’s control. I’m sure he will be releasing his birth, medical, and educational records any moment now, in order to put all his conspiratorialist critics in their places.

Any moment.

Waiting with bated breath.

Now would be a great time.

Ok………………………………………..

The ‘Birthers’ aren’t ‘damaging’anyone.

If they didn’t exist, do you really believe that the MSM would allow an undiluted and correctly quoted statement by a conservative on the errors and misjudgments of Obama to be printed/aired?

Me neither.

The birthers are not damaging anyone’s ability to present the facts. The MSM is damaging/obfuscating the People’s perception of the truth of our economic and political situation. (although with time they have begun to catch on).

Better to blame the true source of the lies and distortions being spread to those who are unable or unwilling to search for the facts than to moan and wail about those the MSM spotlights as representative of a political movement.

The truth will out. Scot Brown is proof of that.

Repeat and promote the truth and eventually rational people will see it for what it is just as they see the ‘birthers’ and the Left for what they are.

The whole thing is nonsense. Perhaps I am Pollyanna but this whole birth certificate thing assumes that every person that has had access to the records (or lack thereof) has no integrity with respect to upholding the Constitution. Not one has come forward, not one has said “Yeah, I know the truth and they just filed his certificate when he got back”. They are all in the tank for Obama regardless of the ramifications. It’s ridiculous. A very high order conspiracy theory.

Personally I think there is a blank on his birth certificate which would pretty much invalidate his “Dreams of My Father” hooie.

The college records probably show grades that were less than stellar. And again, it assumes EVERYONE that can/could access those records are all in the tank for Obama without one person having the fortitude to stand up and say “this is wrong”.

If the birth certificate people want to be truly effective, they would be pounding their elected reps to ensure that ALL presidential candidates are vetted prior to the election.

The press ignores the huge global warming scandal but go insane en masse over birthers.

While there are some less-educated “Birthers” who still maintain that Obama was born in Kenya, this is no longer the substance of the 20-something lawsuits filed against Obama’s legitimacy. The lawyers filing these suits are not asserting that Obama isn’t American, but rather that he isn’t a “Natural Born American Citizen”. To be a natural born American in the strictest since means being born with single American citizenship to parents who are both American Citizens.

So essentially, few “Birthers” really believe Obama is some foreign plot, but rather see that, from a pragmatic stance, a far left President could be removed from office with a legal technicality, effectively breaking the back of the progressive movement.

And for you neigh-sayers, I just finished a class in law, (and remember these 20 suits are being brought by lawyers) and there is a legitimate question of law here-at least in the technicalities

1) A NATURAL born citizen is not a dual citizen-Obama may have technically had dual citizenship as a child.

2) A NATURAL born citizen has both parents as citizens (in the strictest since)-the realities of single parenthood has likely loosened this requirement-but Obama’s father was not a citizen so it is possible Obama could get caught by this one.

3) A NATURAL born citizen has retained their citizenship. To go to school in Indonesia Obama’s parents may have given up his claims to American citizenship.

So “Birthers”, or at least the lawyers behind this movement, are not trying to stop a foreign plot, but rather find legal reasons for eliminating a Far-Left threat. Incidentally, this is likely why these many technicalities are built into the constitution-to slow importation of foreign political ideas and ensure the president’s only loyalty is to American citizens, and not to “Citizens of the World”

I oppose “Birtherism” at this point in time. Obama has shown himself to be far more inept, and thus less of a threat to Capitalist and Constructionalist conservative ideals than we feared. At this point he is looking like a one term president. However, keeping the lawsuits on the back burner may be a good idea if he is looking better by 2012-after all there has been legal president for removing a candidate from the ballot based on ineligibility. In the 1964 election
