President Obama: It’s Time To Come Clean On Your Birth Certificate
Hawaiians applying for their state’s “Home Lands” program are strongly
encouraged by the Hawaiian government to submit a “the original Certificate
of Live Birth” instead of the “computer-generated Certification of Live
Birth.” The computer-generated form -- the same document President
Obama is using to defend his status as a natural born citizen -- is not
sufficient for the
Home Lands program. Quoting their website: “Submitting
the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since
the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.”
It seems reasonable that the documentary requirements to substantiate holding the office of the President of the United States should be at least as stringent as the requirements for Hawaii’s “Home Lands” program. And so we begin our discussion of the odd resistance by President Obama to the simple request that he release his original “Certificate of Live Birth.”
Why Obama must present his real birth certificate
Despite claims from the Obama camp, Barack Obama has never released his original Certificate of Live Birth or a certified copy of that document. He has instead produced a “Certification of Live Birth,” which even the Hawaii government views as something less that the original Certificate.
Obama has resisted any and all legal efforts to require him to present the Certificate of Live Birth. This is something he should have done very willingly… and long ago.
Exposing the Real Obama
Obama’s posture on this issue is quite revealing. First, it shows the lack of respect he has for his critics. When John McCain was questioned about his natural born status, the McCain camp quickly and efficiently ended the debate by providing full documentation. Obama has both dismissed and dissed those who would dare question him on this issue. This is par for the course for Obama’s treatment of political opposition. He removed from his campaign plane reporters from newspapers that did not endorse him. He speaks pejoratively about Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and the “right wing” media. He attacks members of the media who dare to ask challenging questions.
It also reveals the level of respect Obama has (or doesn’t have) for the Constitution. The Constitutional requirement of “natural born” is without dispute. The Founders did not require this status to serve in Congress or on the federal courts. But they did include this stipulation for the presidency. Only natural born citizens should apply. Out of respect for the Founders and for our nation’s history and for the office of the Presidency (all which are bigger and more important than Obama and his movement), Obama should take 15 minutes out of his busy schedule, walk to his family’s filing cabinet, and present the original Certificate of Live Birth.
Maybe Obama is not hiding anything. Maybe he is a natural born citizen.
Maybe there is nothing embarrassing on the original Certificate of Live
Birth. But that’s precisely the point. If there is nothing out of order,
produce the document. Why fight in court to keep the document in the dark?
Get ready to Resist
Obama’s refusal to respect his critics on the birth certificate issue should be a warning to us all -- the worst is yet to come. Under the Obama administration, we should expect the full power of the government to be employed against conservative individuals and groups. Not only will we have to stop Obama’s socialistic agenda, we will have to fight for our very freedoms against an administration that does not respect us enough to provide the most basic evidence supporting his status as a natural born citizen.
That’s why I’m asking you to Join the Resistance.. Over 250,000 citizens have already joined. We want to rally and network 1 million by Inauguration Day. Please take a stand with us.

First, assuming Obama was born in Hawaii, he could end this controversy very
quickly and gain the trust of millions of citizens who are growing more and more
distrustful by the day by simply producing the long-form birth certificate. Second, Obama is the first president since Herbert Hoover to have a foreign-born parent and among a very short list of presidents whose father was not a citizen at the time of his birth. Third, there are conflicting claims as to Obama’s lineage and given the historic nature of his presidency, the original Certificate of Live Birth is an important historical document. Fourth, if he is not natural born, his presidency is illegitimate. Period. There is no gray area here. |
