What kills me about this entire debate, is that the birthers act as if it turns out that Obama *was* born in Kenya, and then brought to Hawaii weeks later, then therefore he is automatically some kind of sleeper cell, muslim, manchurian candidate who's ready to tear the country apart from the inside. As if someone who was not born on American soil cannot be a "true" American, and cannot love their country.
Who cares where he was born? Who even remembers where they were born -- no one. The natural born citizen clause in the constitution was actually debated at the time of the documents writing -- some founding father's didn't want it to be included. If it was debatable then, it's absurd now -- we live in a world where such a rule is nonsensical. It should be taken out of the constitution anyway, and the lack of traction of this birther story proves it: Barely anyone in the country *cares* where he was born.
But then there's the liar issue "But he would have lied! He'd have been lying all this time!" they'll say. Yes, that's true. Like every other politician and president before him.
Big whoop.
I just don't see the issue.

Why didn't you americans ask Obama for a birth certificate before he started to rape pillage and plunder the world under the guise of freedom and a president???
Why did it take an arrogant prick like Trump to help you ask for a birth certificate????
You americans are stupid.
Next time ask for an ID before elections.
And they call me meathed.
Because most of the white people that voted for Barry still have a complex about them having wronged the black man over history....Me, nor you, have done the black man any harm..If he has been harmed, at any time, 99% of the time he will have done it to himself..So, white people, get over this complex and lets get this nation back to where it belongs....This is not a racist statement, it is a TRUTH......

i recall the administration releasing a birth certificate, which was quickly proven to be fraudulent. Within a few weeks, the administration produced a 2nd Different! birth certificate, which is to this day is widely accepted as being legitimate.
Does anyone else recall this sequence of events?
Why do 'birthers' not use this as a supporting arguement?

Edit: Sorry I know that...that might have been somewhat, childish of me but I just have this sick sense of perverted humor side of me that just LOVES whenever someone lashed out with the 'Oh yea?!? Well how about a source to back your claim up there buddy!!!" and then they get spanked by the OP who comes back with a source....or five!

They actually had a congressional hearing to prove McCain's eligibility, due to being hounded by
The
PRESS
When the birthers don’t even read the posts their own are making, it should be obvious to any outsider to this discussion who the ‘brainwashed’ that “can’t see straight” are.

I wish I could take credit for that but it was Stormdancer777 sad part is the Obama nation just ignored it like any facts that dont fit their picture of their emperor. Scary part is I cant tell if the last ones paid or just so brainwashed they cant see straight.

Who cares?
This is a major distraction. The Republicans focus on Obama's eligibility and the Democrats roll their eyes. FOX quotes birthers and MSNBC rolls its eyes.
At the end of the day, nothing is progressing for either "group's" issues when all we focus on are things we cannot fully prove to another's liking.
A certificate of live birth is not enough...ok. Well, even without that I could tell you he was born at some point. If he is not who he says he is, who are the kids? Who is Michelle? Are they actors? Are Sasha and Maliyah CIA agents as well? Or, are they Manchurian girlscouts???
The Defense budget is still 7 times that of the nearest competing nation, by the way. Afghanistan is still totally illogical and incredibly immoral, by the way. Iraq, too.
So, what does it matter whether or not he has a birth certificate? It certainly doesn't change status quo either way.

The real AP article can be found here as it was originally written before that "kenyan born" part was added by SOMEONE ELSE LATER.
When the birthers finally get something that has not already been debunked I just might finally get some respect for them. Good luck!edit on 21-4-2011 by Sinnthia because: (no reason given)

This is what I do not understand about the birthers. You post an edited article in order to perpetrate a lie. You are countered with the truth and instead of taking pause to think about what it means to cling to proven falsehoods, you just move on to the next thing you hope will bolster the first thing, even though it has been completely debunked. This demonstrates beyond all doubt that the goal has nothing to do with knowing the truth but is purely about pushing an agenda.edit on 21-4-2011 by Sinnthia because: (no reason given)
