I am not a birther. I never have been a birther. I believe Obama is 100% American. Until yesterday, I had no reason to be suspicious of anything to do with a birth certificate. I think the birthers who think Obama was born in Kenya are nutty. As an American born abroad, I am fully aware of how U.S. citizenship is transferred to children born to one U.S. citizen abroad. I acknowledge the 14th Amendment. I believe no matter where Obama lived in his life, nor for how long, he is eligible to be president because he is an American.
Now onto why I'm here:
I am a web developer and work extensively with graphics. The moment I opened that PDF yesterday, I knew it had been doctored. Today, I find myself very much on the suspicious side of this issue, and think it's intellectually dishonest for those of you who dismiss the evidence of computer generation and graphical manipulation.
No, I've never been a supporter of Obama. I am more of a Ron Paul kind of woman. But still, I distanced myself from the birthers because I believe wholeheartedly that they're wrong about Obama not being an American.
I still believe he's an American, but today, I want answers as to why an American president would release a "document" that does nothing more than prove it's nowhere near authentic.
It's no use anymore, must come clean with the REAL truth:
The birthers have been on to it from the beginning, yes you guys actually figured it all out thanks to Orly Taitz
About a decade ago the great Annunaki from Niburu genetically created their perfect "king", placed him in his spacecraft (it looks like Superman's when he was a baby, that's where the idea came from) and launched him towards Earth, he crashed in the spot of their original seat of kingship Eridu, now known as southern Iraq, but OH NO!!! Iraq is no longer where their allies reside we had all moved here to the states, so a rescue mission had to be launched to retrieve the rightful Annunaki king of Earth, enter Operation Desert Storm lead by the loyal Annunaki servant George H W Bush, again we were derailed, we could not find the crashed ship or the rightful king so we withdrew and decided to set up a no fly zone so we could surveil the area and find our true king. This did take a little while to track him down but we found him, that darn Saddam had him and even had the nerve to give him some f'd up Muslim name (Grrrrrr) actually even somewhat branded him with his own last name (the nerve of that guy) so we lined it up that our loyal servants' son would become potus and be able to lead the new retrieval mission, had to do some messed up crap and lie about some things to get the justification this time though (sorry about the whole WMD lie ) Now we get him out of there and had to create all the paper trail and formalities so that we could make him official (his fake BC), did away with Saddam so he couldn't talk about it, replaced McCain with a bio-robot (that's why his arms are all stiff now, bio-robo cloning isn't perfect , and why he reversed all of his political stances) and just to make sure nobody accidentally voted the wrong guy in (couldn't afford another hanging chad thing) we teamed him up with one of the dumbest people we could but still had some political experience, enter Sister Sarah. So there it is, you guys know now, but it won't change anything we will still keep him in charge until Niburu gets here with reinforcements for the planetary enslavement.
Case closed!!
I am not a birther, and would love this issue to be resolved without a reasonable doubt. But doubt I have, and like you, I don't see that document as a satisfactory response to the demand for a long form birth certificate.
No, the doc presented this morning is NOT a copy of the original long form birth certificate issued and filed in 1961 (assuming it exists). THE HAWAII DEPT OF HEALTH HASN’T CLAIMED IT TO BE ANYTHING BUT A COMPUTER-GENERATED COPY OR “ABSTRACT.” The operative phrase at the bottom is that it is a “COPY OR ABSTRACT” (abstract meaning lifted summary information; not necessarily complete information or a reproduction of the entire document.)

I wasn't convinced that this birther thing was real till Obama released an "original birth certificate" with a hospital name that would not exist for another 17 years after his birth. That has me now on board the conspiracy.
So much for your last birther thread theory.
The Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital of Honolulu announces three new residents to their resident staff: Dr. Charles M. Van Duyne, of Wilmington, Illinois, graduate of University of Illinois in 1947

Ummmm, sorry to poke a hole in your hospital name theory thing but that's also kind of been solved and closed here

Another example of a fine mind.
Hey thanks, I couldn't agree with you more.
What about when McCain was asked about his birth certificate? Was that RACIST as well? All these needleheads that shout out the 90's buzz word "Racism" everytime any minority gets questioned are really amusing. It might be a non-issue with some people...but it definitley is not racism.
I don't really know about McCain being pressed to reveal his birth certificate--I seem to remember there was some hand-wringing about his being born on a military base in Panama. But we're not talking about John McCain in this thread, are we?
It's foolish of you to suggest that the Birthers and their ridiculous night-terrors about citizenship are just another case of, as you put it, "everytime any minority gets questioned." Their repeated claims that the POTUS is a Kenyan-born Muslim who was indoctrinated while in Indonesia is obviously serving to drive home the point for the fearful and weak-minded voters: Obama is not "one of us."
If this obsession with his birth certificate "definitely is not racism" as you claim, then what is it? Where were the hordes demanding birth certificates from GW, Clinton, George HW and Reagan? Are you trying to suggest that the Birthers are just concerned citizens with a legitimate gripe?
The birth certificate "question" with regards to Obama is just another facet in the ongoing supposition that he is not sufficiently American for some people. First it was "hey, he didn't put his hand over his heart during the Star Spangled Banner." Then it was "why doesn't Obama wear a US flag lapel pin?" These were followed by relatively more minor blips concerning Obama not attending some Boy Scouts anniversary event, or not going to Arlington for Veteran's Day. Again, trying to sow the seeds that he is not one of us--he is Other.
All of this nattering is clearly tied to his race--his share of chromosomes contributed by his Kenyan father. Why else would so many on the right go out of their way to time and again underscore Obama's middle name--Hussein--if they didn't think it was some sort of racial or ethnic wedge?

You asked what it would take. Simple and logical; just the transparency he promised. Release all records! Imagine your daughter had gotten engaged and you were meeting your future son in law. And over dinner and afterward you couldn't get a straight answer out of him. You asked about his college grades and got evasion. You asked about any law articles he'd written, nothing again. And the more you asked the less you got. Now imagine that you are both black. The issues you're thinking of have NOTHING to do with race, but rather your daughter's (country's) future.
Now tell me, would you be happy about this mystery man with his evasions of the truth and lofty rhetoric? Or would you want to hire a PI and have him checked out before the wedding?
