President Obama has spent millions to avoid being open and transparent about his birth, schooling, medical history, etc., but Arizaon is set to rain on his parade with a law that requires presidential candidates to prove their eligibility. Passage appears likely. Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Montana are proposing similar legislation. This is definitely a "game changer!"

I would say that the President has saved the state of Hawaii lots of money by giving them the autonomy to decide who is eligible to obtain copies of a citizen's birth certificate, and not requiring them to mail his out to anyone who asks. I know I would be upset if anyone could request a copy of mine and am confident that you would also not be pleased if yours could obtained by anyone who requested it. His birth certificate has been viewed by officials and deemed authentic. My official birth certificate looks like it was printed on cheap copy paper and I doubt it would stand up to the "experts" on the internet today. Focusing on this issue is just another way to make moderate voters keep leaning to the left, because it makes the conservatives seem like right-wing crazies.
ReplyDeleteOn a number of occasions I've had to show an official document, either a passport or a valid birth certificate. Why shouldn't Obama have to do the same? For a person who promised that his presidency would be the most open and transparent in history, he's spent a lot of time and money to hide eerything about himself. Oh, except his self-serving books that were probably written by Bill Ayers.
ReplyDeleteEither Obama has a problem with his birth certificate or he is messing with the electorate's mind.
ReplyDeleteThe latest stunt by the new Democrat Governor of Hawaii is one example. To paraphrase what he seemed to say: 'It's in the record but I am having trouble finding it. Oh, I have just been told I can't show it.' What the heh!
There were questions about John McCain's ability to run for president. Here is link to an article in the Washington Post about the McCain controversy. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/01/AR2008050103224.html
What did McCain do: "A senior official of the McCain campaign showed a reporter a copy of the senator's birth certificate issued by Canal Zone health authorities, recording his birth in the Coco Solo "family hospital."
He was open and honest - he did not try to prevent people from seeing his long form birth certificate.
Was Obama born in Hawaii? Who knows but we do know that either way he is messing with the electorate.
Call me crazy but I don't think that is Presidential.
