Will this calm the birther storm????

The President is releasing his long form birth certificate today.
Trump and Franklin Graham may have pushed the right/wrong buttons.
So will this calm the storm? Open forum – what will the new objections be? What will birthers say about this development? And what new and startling findings will we see?
Been pretty serious around here for a spell, let’s have some fun with this.
And here it is…
I wonder if this thread will finally die? (2800 comments and counting)

  1. Worldnetdaily is now promising a full week of coverage on why the birthers are still correct…
    This is quite a gift to the Democrats.

  2. Wow! Do you mean to tell me that someone out there STILL believes that he should be in the office of POTUS? I don’t think his birth place is the issue. I’d be more willing to believe that his citizenship is the bigger issue.

  3. Throbert McGee –
    There is already a graphics expert that is saying it is a fake. Think about it, first it was there, then it wasn’t, then the Governor was going to display it, but couldn’t access it (and if the Governor can’t access it, who the heck can. Just people in the Department of Health? Or only the current administrator who can quit and tell?) And all of a sudden, PBO gets one or more of his attorneys to go to Hawai’i and it is suddenly released because he is PBO.
    What took him so long?
    But I still maintain that PBO has a lot more to answer to. Unless he can show otherwise, he is a dual citizen, and thank makes him a native citizen, but not a natural born citizen.
    See my earlier remark about the release by another person born in Hawai’l who had NO problem getting a copy.
    And, BTW, in PBO’s book he says he found his BC in a book at his grandparents house. Or at least did find it. Where the heck did it go? He wasn’t a toddler when he allegedly found it.

  4. Oft,

    The birthers blew it massively. The fact remains without a shadow of any doubt Barack Obama is not legally eligible to be President. Check out my post on it.

    You mean without a shadow of doubt, he is president ?!- LOL You, sir, are an idiot

  5. Its great to know though Oft, that you care more about conspiracy theories than you do about reality – AMEN

    You, sadly, apparently, don’t care about facts

  7. Wild Bill,
    Of course you do – you never stopped believing this – no one cares about you – LOL

    “It’s not “lunatic fringe” anymore. All the mainstream republican candidates have, in one way or another, joined the birthers.”
    No, they haven’t joined the birthers. They are simply trying to get birthers’ support for the primaries. Along with Fischer’s followers and a lot of less extreme conservative groups as well.
    Basically that is the way politics works You see a lot of republicans walking a tight-rope courting the lunatic fringe (but being careful not to say anything extreme) and other conservative elements during the primaries. After winning the nomination, you’ll see the winner distancing himself from them (but trying not to alienate them into not voting) and courting more moderate/mainstream voters.
    I’m willing to bet whomever wins the republican nomination will respond to questions about his support of the birthers with something like “those people had doubts about his citizenship, and I felt they had a right to see his birth certificate”
    and next time there is a democratic primary you are likely to see democrats doing the same thing courting the extreme left.

  15. It’s not “lunatic fringe” anymore. All the mainstream republican candidates have, in one way or another, joined the birthers.
    – Trump
    – Bachmann
    – Palin
    – Gingrich
    And all these mainstream candidates have aligned themselves with Bryan Fischer, whom Warren and numerous others on the political spectrum have denounced as hateful and extreme.
    at this point, the mainstream right IS the fringe.

  18. WB…. What took him so long?

    He didn’t give a damn what you thought because he had already displayed an official Hawai’ian certificate of live birth which Hawai’ian law says is just as legal a birth certificate as the other ‘long form.’

  19. I doubt it will “calm the storm” nor do I think that is why Obama really did it.
    I suspect he is actually hoping the fringe will come back with something else, then, he and other dems can use that to associate all republicans with the lunatic fringe.

    Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner.
    Our cynical POTUS knows that the lunatic fringe will continue the caterwauling unabated…

  22. there are things about the long form that should be reviewed by competent individuals in forensics.

    What things are these that need to be reviewed by forensics experts?

  24. I think this “revelation” will simply bring more questions to the fore. After all, there are things about the long form that should be reviewed by competent individuals in forensics.
    Try this: Why did PBO not stop the trial of Lt. Col. Lakin? You know. Lt. Col. Terrance Lakin, a medical officer who was supposed to deploy to Afghanistan, but wound up in a military prison for six months and is going to be dishonably discharged as soon as he gets released, and that is after 18 plus years of honorable service, because he wanted to be sure that PBO was qualified to be POTUS. Lt. Col. Lakin was not allowed to call witnesses or present evidence at his Courts Martial. And PBO could have stopped it right then and there.
    BTW, there was a recent article about a lady living on the mainland who had been born in Hawai’i who sent a check for $10 to the, don’t remember which department, but got a copy of her long form BD in the mail. So it appears that getting the document isn’t a big deal. And that was recently, BYW.
    There still remains many other questions about PBO’s school records, his travel to Pakistan when he was in college, his grants to attend college, and the pesky fact that his father, BHO Sr, was never an American citizen, but was, in fact, a citizen of Kenya which, at the time, was under English law that conferred English citizenship on PBO, thus making him at LEAST a dual citizen at birth. Then there is the problem of his mother marrying Mr. Soetoro, an Indonesian, and moving to Indonesia with young BHO Jr, being adopted and his getting enrolled in school there. And to be enrolled, by Indonesian law, you had to be a citizen of Indonesia. So then the question becomes: How many citizenships does PBO have? And when did he legally change his name from Soetoro to Obama?
    Nothing has really changed, but there are still a lot of questions to be answered.

  27. There will be those who still think he was born in Kenya.

    As the kid in The Ring said about the drippy-hair’ded chick from the TV: “She never sleeps. She’ll never stop.

  28. There will be those who still think he was born in Kenya. The birth certificate supposed to be from Mombasa now has a complimentary certificate from the hospital with the marks of the soles of some baby’s feet.

  29. I am fairly sure the short form for this has been released. Chris Matthews exposed a birth certificate that is the same exact color. I thought the real birth certificate has Obama’s hand and foot prints on it.

    LOL! Like that’ll happen. WND is already writing about his ineligibility for the presidency since his dad wasn’t a citizen.

  34. I pray to God so, now maybe those two whiners will shut up and go away.
    Then again, I don’t see why this President has to cave and submit proof to the Christian Taliban, and the rest of the wingnuts. The last President wasn’t required the same of him, nor has any other.
    Considering the sad list the GOP has for nominees, and the wackos they jump into bed with, it’s seems to me that Obama will get a second term.
    Publishing his Birth Record is just a step towards that second term. Between this and DOMA, the GOP is looking more and more like a bunch of children.
