Here's something I ask of everyone who is against the bailouts, what would YOU do? What is your plan? And I always hear the same; 'I don't know', or it's 'I wouldn't do that!' or 'I would do nothing'.
Okay, so you complain about the plan but offer NO solution...why am I listening to you then?
So let the economy fall, fine with me, TPTB want it, the Republicans want it, their supporters want it, let's make it a joyride to Hell like riding the atomic bomb to the ground, yelling and cheering as you fall
WTF are you talking about? Out of EVERYTHING you've seen, heard and read, you only know THIS? In the end, that's what this WHOLE thing is about, his damn name being of OBVIOUS ties to terrorists; DESPITE Hawaii confirming the certificate,
You want a copy mailed to you?
Goddamn the so-called 'War on Terror', the American public has learned NOTHING. We say we have, that we're tolerant, but reality is, we are more paranoid over NAMES among other things, than actually focusing on anything else. Instead of going forward, we keep going back and clogging up the courts and time for this bull#.
Looks like the only conspiracy in this story is the Republicans and far-right still being bitter over losing and not having support anymore because of their laziness and pathetic job in Congress. You want to use fuel for a conspiracy?
All you do here is make the rest of the CTists look like idiots and nuts

§338-17.8 was enacted in 1982 (as noted on the page). In 1961, Obama's parents couldn't have registered him in Hawaii if his birth place wasn't Hawaii.

"Certificates for children born out of State. (a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child."
See links below for more about the relevant Hawaiian law. A computer generated Certification of Live Birth (COLB) issued in Hawaii is not acceptable to even their own courts as conclusive proof of birth in Hawaii. Under Hawaiian law in 1961, a child could be born anywhere in the world and have the birth registered in Hawaii by the mother after the birth, with true or false information, without any third party independent verification of said "facts" entered on the form by the mother, upon her returning to Hawaii using this law on the books in 1961.

Obama taught Constitutional law, you think he isn't aware of what he is required or not to do?
Read this simple, straight forward, comparative report about what Obama has proffered as evidence of "natural born citizenship" and what he has NOT provided:
www.peoplespassions.org...
Reference proof of natural born citizenship, a computer generated form (aka COLB) can be easily PhotoShop'd, altered, or forged. Such a simple registration record could be retro-actively filed in Hawaii in 1961 as a post birth event registration after birth of a child, with the birth not even having occurred in Hawaii. No one checked these retro-active registrations in HI at that time which were done by simply signing an affidavit that the facts are true. The mother or grandparents could have done this retro-actively upon the mother's return to give the infant child citizenship. This was a possible cover up at the time by the mother and grandmother. The short form data is then being abstracted from a false, delayed registration of birth, filed with false information by the mother with a simple affidavit with no non-family member, independent witnesses. That was permitted under Hawaii law in 1961. A mother could register the birth of her child upon returning to Hawaii after the actual birth elsewhere. But who knew this child would grow up an run for President and that someone would dig into the records to find the truth, as is now being done. Such a case would explain the stalling, delaying, and obfuscating tactics Obama and his lawyers are engaging in. They don't want the true nature of the birth records registered in Hawaii by his mother and maternal grandmother revealed.
FACT: A qualification per the U.S. Constitution for a person to serve as the President of the U.S. is that they must be a "natural born citizen". And there are several categories of citizenship in the USA: Naturalized, Derivative, Statutory, Native Born, and Natural Born. Also see this chart which shows who is and who is not a citizen, native citizen, and natural born citizen depending on whom your parents are and where you are born: www.theobamafile.com...
Obama may or may not be Native Born depending on the validity of his paternal grandmother's statement in Kenya, and the sealed hospital records in Mombasa, Kenya, but he is certainly not "natural born" since for that term both his parents must be U.S. citizens (of any category) when he was born. And per statements made in his own campaign's website, and in his books, Obama has admitted his father was a British Subject when Obama was born. Obama's father never at any time was a U.S. citizen. Thus Obama is NOT a "Natural Born Citizen (NBC)" of the U.S. under our Constitution's framer's intent. And thus he cannot serve as our President under our Constitution. Defining "natural born citizen", a dissertation on that subject:
federalistblog.us...
Obama will apparently have several hurdles to cross to prove he is a "natural born citizen". First he has to conclusively prove he was born in Hawaii. And again, a computer generated birth registration form, aka the COLB type document proffered by Obama's campaign, is not sufficient evidence for most court cases, let alone to assume the office of Presidency of the U.S. For more about Obama's birth certificate and citizenship issue, below are links to web pages which explain what a "vault copy" of an original birth certificate is and an example of what one looks like from circa the time frame of interest in Hawaii. Obama has NOT provided such a document and refuses to do so.
www.peoplespassions.org...
For the time period in question, the originals were generally typed or hand printed, and will have the signature of the mother on it, the name and signature of the delivering doctor, the name of the hospital, as well as other witnesses to the birth, if any. Obama refuses to provide a certified "vault copy" of his original birth registration in Hawaii. This web page explains and provides exhibits and examples what Obama has provided and what he has not, to date. Also and very importantly note that to date, Obama has NOT personally said in public, "I am a natural born citizen of the U.S. per the U.S. Constitution", and produced a certified "vault copy" of the long form, original birth certificate signed by his mother and the doctor and showing the hospital record where he was born. Why has he not done that? Why has he not released his college records from Occidental in CA, Columbia in NY, and Harvard in MA? Why is he hiding behind his lawyers on this?
FACT: To serve as a U.S. Senator the person must be a U.S. Citizen.
The problem Obama has with that issue is whether his step-father, who moved the family to Indonesia after marrying his mother, legally "adopted" him or "acknowledged" him as his son in Indonesia with the mother's concurrence, thereby renouncing his U.S. citizenship while living in Indonesia. To get into schools in Indonesia at that time the child had to be an Indonesian citizen, and not a U.S. citizen. If his U.S. citizenship was renounced, it would make him no longer a U.S. citizen at all, unless he re-applied for naturalization upon return to the U.S. This is discussed in the Berg vs. Obama case brief to SCOTUS. See: www.obamacrimes.com... for the details and the entire Berg brief and supplemental filings. It is also alleged in that brief that when Obama was about age 20, c1981/1982, that he traveled to Pakistan with a college buddy and student from Pakistan who he met Occidental College. At that time period U.S. citizens could not travel to Pakistan. Thus he must have used some other documentation to get into Pakistan. It is alleged that he used an Indonesian passport that he had retained from his youth and kept it up to date which documented him as an Indonesian citizen, and not a U.S. citizen. Obama has refused to produce any of his passports data from that c1981/1982 time period. Given the poor relations between the U.S. and Pakistan in that time period, he likely traveled to Pakistan on that Indonesian passport, which said he was an Indonesian citizen, which he likely was per accounts and records in Indonesia. His school records in Indonesian say his parents their declared him an Indonesian student. Images of that school document have been published online declaring him an Indonesian citizen of the religion of Islam. And some say when he later enrolled in Occidental College, he declared himself a foreign student and citizen of Indonesia to get generous aide available for foreign citizens at that college. Obama will not release those college records either. He is taking the same stance with his college records as he is taking with his birth records and also with his medical records too. Lots to think about. But his renounced U.S. citizenship by his mother and step-father when in Indonesia, and traveling as an adult on the Indonesian passport, and/or probably making other statements as an adult of being an Indonesian citizen in other records in the past such as college records, he would thus be knowingly acknowledging his renounced U.S. citizenship, and that would disqualify (DQ) him as a "natural born citizen" for sure, and in fact he would not even be a citizen at all at his point. And if he is not legally a U.S. citizen at all, he cannot serve as a U.S. Senator, and all that time in the Senate was done under fraudulent status too. Berg also then further argues in his brief to SCOTUS that Obama may even be an illegal alien in the U.S. under current law if he cannot prove he was ever naturalized upon returning to Hawaii from Indonesia. Again, lots more to think about regarding Obama's citizenship status.

Why spend a million dollars in lawyer fees to keep his backround sealed up tight but only the kind of documents that mention aid for foriegn students places of birth etc.
Kreep has been battling Obama's California lawyer, Fredric Woocher, to release the president's records from Occidental College on the theory that they might provide information about his citizenship.
Woocher has threatened to seek sanctions against Kreep for pursuing the case.
"This suit, like all of the others that have been filed challenging Obama's qualifications for the Presidency, is frivolous," he said in an email to POLITICO, adding that he is, in fact, working pro bono. "There is absolutely no truth to the stories about the untold millions supposedly being paid to us," he said. source

Obama, or anyone else for that matter, isn't required to show his "vault copy" to anyone.
A birth certificate is based on the information that is in the State's vital records. You cannot have certain information on your birth certificate that is different from what is in your vital records.
Hence the word certificate - the State certifies that what's in the birth certificate matches what's in its vital records.

The State of Hawaii has sealed Obama's birth records
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.” source

I'm sorry did you miss all the posts proving that the state didn't do JACK SQUAT? Show me Genius where the State verfies what Hospital he was born in and what state? Share with me if you would be so kind, who the Doctor was that delivered him like they made McCain do for you guys. Then, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, how it is the anti Obama people are the ones making the photoshopped COLB's when It could just as easily been the ObamaBorg flooding the internet with this bunk as it would paint Obama as a victim and THAT is more his style. Regardless,, COLB's are MEANINGLESS and the state he says he got it from even rejects them in most cases!
Is that something you can do?
Or are you just being a smart azz
Yeah I know what you mean, clogging up the courts could end today if Obama would simply do what anyone in his position SHOULD do, the same thing McCain did when asked and many more before him. But just what is your problem with it I'd like to know.

What I asked you is, since you say his mother lied in 1961, how did she do it? What process, or loop-hole did his parents exploit to have an allegedly foreign born baby registered as being born in Hawaii.

Moreover, as I showed in this post, Obama wasn't late registered, nor his certificate was altered.
You can repeat all those misconceptions all you want, but the legal facts don't support your theories.
