Im pretty sure his long form birth certificate is spot on proof he was born in Hawaii.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/birthcertificate.asp

Not quite sure what his father's citizenship has to do with his being eligible either:
"The Congressional Research Service has stated that the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion indicates that the term means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to U.S. citizenship "at birth" or "by birth," including any child born "in" the United States, even to alien parents (other than to foreign diplomats serving their country), the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements"

Also it has been proven by a active Sheriff that both the Birth Certificate and the Selective Service Registration card released by Obama are fake! If this holds up to be true that is fraud and possibly treason. Considering the number of White House staff involved they are is a conspiracy to deceive the American Voters. Serious stuff indeed!

Old One has it right. Read "Where's The Birth Certificate", by Jerome Corsi. The Sheriff of Morris County NJ, was present for his presentation and believes that this issue needs to be further investigated.

PS - Snopes??? Really????

I'm really not sure. I mean, he seems like a real U.S. president, what with the increasing debt, war mongering, unfulfilled promises, pandering, and general toothlessness he's shown when it comes to fighting the political fight just like our last few chiefs.

Proof that the Bayshore Tea Party are a bunch of morons.

Cranky old Patriot

There is a reason the Constitution differentiates between "Citizen" and Natural Born Citizen" John Jay made it clear. Parents who are not citizens have not demonstrated their allegiance to the United States by becoming "Citizens." Try reading the founders writings, it'll become clear what their intent was! Yes we are idiots!!! Prove us wrong!!!

I thought the birther nonsense had gone away once and for all after the President requested that the State of Hawaii release a certitifed copy of his long form birth certificate (although he/they were under no obligation to do so.)

Also note that the two local Honolulu newspapers each published the Presidents birth announcement aprox a week after he was born (in 1961) and noted that birth announceements were based on information supplied by the local hospitals.

To still believe that the President was not born in Hawaii, you would have to believe in a massive conspiracy going back to 1961 that involved the hospital, the newspapers, high ranking governmental officials in Hawaii including the Governor and also believe that the Presidents 18 year old mother decided to take a trip to Keyna, give birth and immediately reeturned to Hawaii and someohow was able to have false birth announcemnts placed in the newspapers.

You just made up your own definition of "natural born citizen". That term was not defined in the Constitution. Since his mother was born in the United States and the President was born in Hawaii do you actually think a court would interpet that to mean he is not a natural born citizen??

Have I seen the long copy of the Presidents Birth Certificate??? Yes. The question should be have you seen it since most birthers threw in the towel after it was realeased. It is on the snoopes link that someone [noted above), it is also on a zilion news websites on the internet and also on the White House website. http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/04/27/president-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate Note that the State of Hawaii certified that it is an exact copy of the original that is on file. So they woud have to be part of your conspiracy.

If everything has you claim is a fogery and the result of one big conspiracy, than you need to prove it. Note that birth announcements were not placed by grandparents...as noted in the papers, they came from the hospitals. So they would have to be part of your conspiracy.

How about showing everyone some real evidence to back up your theory ???

Can't believe this stuff is still going....HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A..give it
a rest....
Is there no limit to hatred and racial bias? Enough is enough....STOP..

Dear Rosemary....WHERE in any of these posts did you see anything regarding race? Just like a liberal....bringing in the race card. You were spot on with the hatred though! I give you one point for that one.

The T is insiped...

let's look forward to a bright future....

From "Urban Legends":

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.

Though the term "natural-born citizen" was left undefined by the Framers of the Constitution, it was broadly understood in English common law at the time as referring to one who possesses citizenship by virtue of the circumstances of their birth, which is still the general meaning of the phrase as it's used today.

In the U.S. there are two established legal principles upon which individuals are said to acquire citizenship at birth: jus sanguinus ("right of blood"), meaning citizenship conferred by being born to parents who are U.S. citizens, and jus soli ("right of soil"), meaning citizenship conferred by being born on U.S. soil. Per the Fourteenth Amendment, which states that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside," all individuals born on U.S. soil are considered "birthright citizens" under the law regardless of the citizenship status of their parents. Obama was born on U.S. soil — in Honolulu, Hawaii — and was therefore a citizen at birth by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment (and the principle of jus soli).

Therefore Barack Obama is, in fact, a U.S. citizen. However, some still argue that he is not a natural-born citizen. The reasons have to do with the disputed meaning of the term "natural born."
'Natural born' vs. 'native born'
In lawsuits challenging Obama's Constitutional eligibility it has been argued that while birth on U.S. soil confers "birthright" or "native-born" citizenship, it does not confer natural-born citizenship unless both parents are also U.S. citizens.
But among Constitutional scholars the distinction between "natural born" and "native born" is not universally accepted as a crucial one. Short of a Supreme Court decision or legislative statute settling the matter, it remains but one way of interpreting a longstanding legal ambiguity concerning the eligibility clause. There are other interpretations, most notably that found in an analysis presidential candidate John McCain's standing as a natural-born citizen conducted in 2008 by former U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson and Constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe. In their view "on the original meaning of the Constitution, the Framers' intentions, and subsequent legal precedent" — either the fact of birth on U.S. soil or the fact of birth to parents who are U.S. citizens is independently sufficient to confer natural born status.

Some people need to do their homework. First of all, the long form that they refer to as being provided is a 'Certificate of Live Birth'. Believe it or not, it is not a Hawaiian 'Birth Certificate'. They are 2 totally different documents The long form is used only to validate a child having been born. It is not to be used as substantiation of where the child was born. In early 1960s Hawaii, all one needed to do was present an undocumented infant to a MD or hospital and the child was issued one of these COLBs.
Second, Obama's father was a Nigerian-born Brit. This makes Obama ineligible for the same reason that Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot be the President.
Lastly, I'm most concerned about the fact that Obama's SSN belongs to some dead guy from Connecticut (and no, the numbers do not get recycled).

...why don't you birthers give it up already? No one with any sense takes you seriously any more. It's a dead issue and it will continue to be that way. This is all a distraction to take away the fact that you don't have a viable candidate to run against the president. Even many established republicans don't want to go on line saying they support Romney. This is such a waste of time and energy. You had your brief "15 minutes of fame" when you forced many middle of the road republicans far to the right after the 2010 elections but it has backfired on you when the most extreme nominees have finally backed out of the primaries and you're left with Romney. Actually, maybe you should continue doing what you're doing because the insanity of it all only helps insure Obama's re-election as you turn off more and more republican voters.

Ultra Conservatives do this for the emotional value, not to demonstrate intellectual substance. Over and over again they lie and don't apologize for it. They create the tone they want and that suits them fine. Sort of like that "monologuist" Mike Daisey who lied about his experiences at the Apple plant in China in order to give a better performance. Well, at least he finally apologized for misleading people. The problem is that the Left keeps trying to reason with the Far Right, and that is anathema to them. Settling things intellectually is the last thing they are interested in. I saw seniors rooting wildly for Anna Little at her debate with Frank Pallone last year, older folks who would lose a wide range of benefits if her Tea Party had their wish. There is no reasoning with people who are emotional and unthinking, especially when they ignore their own self-interest. That's not patriotic; that's stupid. Birthers are just raising the temperature. Personally I think if you scratch the surface you'll find a healthy amount of intolerance.

Who??? Snopes.com? Do you know who runs that fact check site - and with much of George Soros' money, too.

There are many more reasons not to reelect Obama. Some question his birth place and people have a right to do so. I personally believe he was born in the USA. However, as I stated already, there are so many reasons to vote him out of office. Focus on his apology tour, wealth redistribution mentality, the people he carried on with when he was in college and beyond, the 5 trillion dollars he has added to the debt, sending 1.5 Billion taxpayer dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, etc. I can go on and on.

Wow, just goes to show the extreme lengths today's Republican Party will go. I can understand them not being too enthusiastic about Mittens, but gee, all the wild-eyed spittle-flecked posting around here! Can't wait for them to run Anna Little again. Good times.

If we need any further proof, we can just ask his Kenyan Aunt and Uncle, both of whom were arrested AND released for being D.U.I. in MA. FYI, they are BOTH illegals and proud of it! Even made the NY Times? Shocking.

I question them as intelligent life!

Isn't it a little odd that no doctor has come foward about his birth, no neighbors that knew him as a kid, no grammer school friends, no teammates, no club associates, no teachers that said "i thought he would succeed", no yearbook pictures, no girlfriends etc, etc , etc... Just Bill Ayers and Reverand Wright... doesn't someone, somwhere remember him???? Seems a little strange

At this point, anyone who still insists on questioning the validity of President Obama's citizenship really should be seeking professional psychiatric help. This irrational obsession is truly an indicator of a mental disorder. The only sense I can make of this phenomenon is that these people have a profound inability to accept the fact that our president is black, and the resulting cognitive dissonance causes them to cling to this birther obsession despite all evidence and logic to the contrary.

Comments made beginning on or after April 10 are not showing up. Engineering is looking into the issue and hopefully it will be resolved soon. If you've made a comment and don't see it, don't worry, we haven't deleted it and hopefully it will show up soon. Thanks!

FYI in the Minor v Happersett case, the court noted that there was no doubt about her citizenship since Minor was born in the United States and her parents were U.S. citizens, she was unquestionably a citizen herself, even under the narrowest possible definition, and the court thus noted that the subject did not need to be explored in any greater depth.

Are you reading something else into that?

Let's face it......the nutcases who put out this baloney will NEVER stop questioning Obama's citizenship. A NATURAL BORN citizen is a person born in the USA, period!

BTW...George Washington's parents were BOTH British subjects.

Mitt Romney's father was born in Mexico. I don't see you lunatics getting bent out of shape over that. The honest truth is you simply hate that Obama is President. Get over it. He won the election - it is nearly 4 years after the fact. If his birth certificate is your best ammo against him to keep him from a 2nd term, then he's got a better shot at it than most people think. Get a life and since you hate him so much focus on the Nov election where you can vote for the other guy, who by your crazy warped standards, is also not qualified. It's amazing how people think reading blogs, email forwards and biased news reports all the sudden makes them experts on constitutional law. So sad.

Never forget that these nutjobs are now the heart and soul of today's Republican Party. The Republican candidate for Representative in this District was and is exactly like these wild-eyed mouth-breathers. The Tea Party is calling the GOP shots; Romney dances to their tune. Don't let anyone with an (R) after their name anywhere near political office until the rabies is cured.

BEST QUOTE OF THE DECADE- from CZECH REPUBLIC OBSERVER......

"The danger to America is not only Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama Presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their President. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President."

C63- your link leads to an article in which Glenn Beck QUOTES this Czech newspaper. Could you please post a link to the actual article itself? What was the date it was printed and where is it available online? Unless Glenn Beck speaks fluent Czech, surely there must be an English edition of this newspaper for any independent party to read.

Wow, these morons are still going? It's quite obvious that the Tea Party is only after Obama because he is black. They still haven't gotten over the fact that all men are created equal and that segregation no longer exists. They can't believe that a black man is smarter than them and isn't working on their farm.

Cannot believe these people are still perpetuating this offensive nonsense - or that media outlets continue to give them attention when they do.

It is difficult to believe that so many have been deceived by such. If he were native born then WHY such the big deal? I have a birth certificate, registered for the selective service, didn't use foreign student aid to go to college FREE nor have my college transcripts sealed. There are far to many smoke n mirror acts to not raise questions by those not mesmerized by such deception.

The Main thing about barack's birth certificate is being overlooked to prove it is forged.
It has a babies foot print on the certificate, They didn't start doing that until until 64 or 65, and he was to have been born in 612???????????????
Where is all the intelligence?????????????
Or maybe just another cover up??

it has hit the fan let all the obama people know even his lawyer in nj says in open court his birth cert on the white house page is a fake
tell me its real again with a straight face. WAKE UP hes told anuff lies time to remove him from office as he cant legally hold the office of potus

Have you read about all the arrests going on around the world the past week?
Seems there is a movement to rid the planet of all these New World Order Communists. Sorry guys your Kenyan Brit is on the list. US Marshals will make the arrest backed up by our Military. It will be a rather big deal. They will take over the MSM outlets and educate the public in the truth for three days. Hope you enjoy the CHANGE!

Personally, I think the liberal's teleprompter-in-chief is a puppet without the heart or stones to actually do anything other than what his handlers tell him to do. As far as the birther argument. More ridiculous than the eligibility issue, is the absolute hypocrisy on the part of the liberal commentators on here, and pretty much everywhere else. Liberals insist on everyone's right to express themselves, but only to those groups that they deem liberally-approved. Disagree and your 1st amendment rights are suspended, you are a crackpot AND a racist. The real enemy of America is the self-proclaimed authority of the liberal mindset. If I want to believe your president is a purple Martian transexual and I want to say so, I have that right. You have the right to disagree, but you do not have the right to silence me. So, whether that Kenyan SOB is squatting in the White House with his spendthrift hog of a wife or not, only matters insofar as it validates you liberal twits. When he's gone. The pendulum will finish swinging back and you all can go back to telling each other how important you are and wringing your hands over whatever issues The View tells you are important.

Libslie: I read your post . It was not edited. You said it in a public forum. You have not been silenced here. I am a liberal. I did not try to silence you. i still believe that you are hate-filled, racist crackpot and that you need serious psychological help.
One thing though, I hear that they need a replacement vigilante in Arizona to stop illegal immigration. I think you have the right stuff to do that job!

No use arguing with those whose minds cannot be changed because they're closed to the truth. Obviously the Obama haters/birthers have been listening to Rush, Hannity, and Glenn Beck. Change the channel sometime and listen to people who make sense. Some of these posts are unreadable as the hatred they spew toward the President is pathetic and approaches very bad taste.

Let's keep score;
Are you a Communist?
Or-
Are you an American?
This way we can see why half of you always seem to hide the true truth and as Joe Wilson told your puppet - - -" YOU LIE!" - - -.

Who's Barry Soetoro? The more you dig the weirder it gets.

Can't wait to see Mitt Romney makes birther Donald Trump take off his tin foil hat off when they appear together this week. I would not put it past Trump to start talking about his insane birther conspiracy theories when he is onstage with Romney.

The program some dufus at the Whitehouse used to forge a birth certificate for Obama is photoshop CS5...but the idiot left out one step...he forgot to print it and THEN copy it before scaning it for release...and that one teenie error reveals that the Obama birth certifcate is a forgery....so remember , learn to use the process BEFORE you engage in felony law breaking...now poor sherriff Joe Arpaio has all he needs to show that someone in the Whitehouse is a forger....and I'm NOT a birther damn it...just observant...

I know lots of people without jobs and with no prospects. Shouldn't this be the yardstick?

We all like to think our opinions matter___but in reality our 'opinions' are meaningless. The US Supreme Court just recently threw out the birther case before it and it is only their opinion that really matters..
