Correction Racist Idiots.....If Obama was a white president no one would give a fuck about a birth certificate. I don't remember there being a release of Bush, Clinton, or any other presidents birth records. YOU people need to grow a pair and say whats really bothering you. 5/4/2011 11:55:16 AM |

^^^Kenya was a British colony from 1920 to 1963, and the use of "East Africa" probably refers to British East Africa. 5/4/2011 6:44:44 PM |

I don't really give a shit one way or another, but I agree with other posters that they should have at least gotten a pro to do the work even if it was to make the image clearer. Forgetting that there is layers and shit still left in the file, just zooming in on the PDF you can see the shoppage. Fucking pixels everywhere. I could have done a better job in paintbrush.

I am certainly not a "birther" and I think Obama is doing a pretty awesome job as President. However, are you saying that if indeed it was proven that he did in fact forge his birth certificate, this would be a non-issue to you?5/5/2011 3:37:21 AM |

^^ requiring that he ever produce his long-form birth certificate is ridiculous. a birth certificate is sufficient for everything else government related and he produced that during his campaign.
and even doing that was ridiculous, because if he wasn't a black guy with an arabic sounding name no one would have thought twice about it 5/5/2011 7:29:29 AM |

What bothered me the most (or rather the only thing) was why he paid $2 milliion in lawyer and legal fees instead of just showing it. What the hell was he trying to hide? 5/5/2011 7:35:44 AM |

That figure originated from WorldNetDaily, not exactly a trustworthy source.
http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/04/11/trump_palin_two_million_birther
Quote : | "Specifically, WND's Chelsea Schilling wrote a series of articles on the legal bills in 2009. See here, here and here. According to the WND articles, the Obama campaign paid $1.7 million in fees to the law firm Perkins Coie between October 2008 and October 2009.
Perkins Coie's Bob Bauer, who is now White House counsel, represented Obama in at least one birther lawsuit that WND has also written about. In 2009, Bauer fired off a brief letter to an attorney who brought a case questioning Obama's eligibility to be president. Bauer warned the attorney that the case was frivolous and asked him to stop pursuing it. (The case is called Hollister v. Soetoro -- with Soetoro referring to the name President Obama supposedly used as a child in Indonesia. It was recently appealed to the Supreme Court, which turned it down.)
The implication of the WND stories -- though not explicitly stated -- is that because Perkins Coie worked on a birther suit, and because the Obama campaign paid Perkins Coie $1.7 million, therefore the campaign paid $1.7 million fighting birther suits. That's an obvious logical fallacy." |

Does anyone honestly think that the people that run the Democratic and Republican parties wouldn't have thought of this in allowing someone onto the ballot?
There seems to be this laughable conspiracy theorist mindset that we're simultaneously subject to a massive, ultra secretive, globalist shadow government but that they didn't think to check the papers before selecting a mouthpiece. (And that they make similarly asinine, amateurish, and obvious moves all the time.)
