President Obama's birth certificate has been the subject of much controversy since right wing bloggers took to a conspiracy theory that Obama isn't qualified to be president because he "wasn't born in the USA." In addition, another number of misinformed individuals claim that Obama is "the first Muslim President" of the United States.Obama, like many Americans, is a Christian.
Many people point to the fact that Obama told the media that Park51 developers had "the right" to build the so-called "ground zero mosque" 300 yards from the 9/11 memorial site.
The separation of church and state, and the right to religious freedom does allow the group to build there - and simply stating that fact does not a muslim make.
Obama was visibly irritated during a TV interview. Of the various rumors regarding his religion "The facts are the facts. We went through some of this during the campaign – there is a mechanism, a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly. If I spend all my time chasing after that then I wouldn't get much done."
He also said he can't go around with his birth certificate plastered on his head.
I guess I can see where Obama would be getting frustrated with all the rumors surrounding him. However, no matter what when you are a politician you are going to have opposition, and rumors will be spread about you. At least Obama appears to be able to handle it.
Oh, puhleeze. Just show the birth certificate if one actually exists; otherwise, people will suspect that it does not.
ReplyDeleteYou said, Obama, like many Americans, is a Christian.
ReplyDeleteI say, there is NO evidence for that. On the other hand there are PLENTY of evidence he is Muslim, which are also implicated by recent facts.
Obama said,"The facts are the facts. We went through some of this during the campaign – there is a mechanism, a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly."
I say, Facts are facts, yes, and Obama is lying. Just show your birth cerificate, Mr. Obama ....
There is a network of misinformation; Yes, but this network is installed by Obama himself to cover-up his birthplace, his faith, his citizenship, his education, his religion, and many many more ....
Obama is right.
ReplyDeleteChristians are usually baptized, correct?
ReplyDeleteso where's the baptism cert?...
any takers he don't have one of these either.
Obama has never produced the original long form handwritten birth cerificate signed by the doctor who delivered him.
ReplyDeleteIt's no rumor or theory that President Obama has not offered his long form Birth Certificate. Also, President Obama has visited mosques since his election. However, he did not attend the national day of prayer and I don't think he has visited any Christian churches since his election. Defend him all you want, but more people every day are looking at the facts. His low approval rating shows that more and more Americans are beginning to use their common sense. He's a horrible President. He will be remembered as the worst President ever.
ReplyDeleteHe will not be the worst President ever. His predecessor has that honor. He is a Christian. Those who disagree need to read the Bible. How Christian are those who question his faith?Attending church is not required. I know plenty of people in the church who are not Christians. According to the Constituion there should be a separation of church and state. The Founding Fathers were non-christians. Abraham Lincoln was an atheist, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were not christian. Reagan didn't attend church reguarly. John McCain was not born in the USA. As a nation we should be ashamed for the way in which this president is being attacked about his origin, race, and religion.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, McCain wasn't born on US soil. He was born in a United States Naval Air Station.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, Obama is really a non-factor now. He has not and will not do anything that is incapable of being undone after the next election. The only disturbing thing is that people actually voted for him. I wasn't a McCain fanboy, but anyone would have been better than Obama.
So where exactly was Obama born? Why is it such a secret for him to show proof of his birthplace, and why wasn't it ordered prior to him becoming president of our country? When a civilian goes and applies for a job, they have to provide this information, so how did this Muslim get away without showing his proof of birth?
ReplyDeleteYeah right, he is a christian, and I am the next president of the United States.
Why does the press continue to cover for this usurper? come on ...... there is no evidence this guy is whom he claims to be.....he needs to come clean & open up ALL his records...have not all the presidents before him done so?
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that I am not the only person who thinks he should just show it and be done with it. The slant of this article is almost sickening. Just pucker up and kiss his hind quarters already...........He has done nothing and will continue to do nothing. I don't recall ever being this worried about our country and its future.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Christian, I was baptized, and just found out from this controversy that I'm supposed to have to have a "certificate" to prove it! lol!
ReplyDeleteAs for the birth certificate controversy, I think what people want to see is the hospital kind with footprints on it, the doctor's signature, stuff like that. Not every hospital issues those, and it's a novelty item, anyway.
When you apply for a passport or for any official business, the hospital birth certificate is not acceptable. You need an official one issued by the state. It says "Certificate of Live Birth." No footprints, no doctor's signature, no information about the baby's length, just date and place of birth.
Don't believe me? Apply for a passport and try to use the novelty item the doctor gave your parents when you were born. The passport official will explain it to you.
These birthers are the most unbelievable. To paraphrase Lincoln, God must LOVE stupid people, he made so many! Both Honolulu papers reported Obama's birth in August of 1961. The Republican Governor of Hawaii has seen your sacred "long form" and attested to it's authenticity. You people need to get a life. Your are a bunch of crack-pots and hinder our democratic process.
ReplyDeleteA thought: What percentage of Birther Idiots have been to college? My guess is it would be somewhere between 0% and 1%. It is a true quirk of history that the Republican Party is now the party of uneducated white trash. For over a hundred years this was the sole territory of the Democrats. NEVER in American history has such a large section of the population voted against its own best interest.
ReplyDeleteWHAT COLLEGE DEGREE GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO INSULT OTHERS, AND CALL THEM UNEDUCATED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU. YES FACTS ARE FACTS AND THE TRUTH IS THAT HE HAS NOT SHOWED ANY PROOF THE MEDIA IS WRONG ABOUT HIS BIRTH PLACE.
ReplyDeleteTHE CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THE PRESIDENT TO BE A NATURAL BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN, THEN HOW COME IS PRESIDENT OBAMA TAKING THIS ACCUSATIONS SO LIGHTLY AND HOW COME ARENT WE THE PEOPLE DEMANDING ANSWERS. WE MADE PRESIDENT CLINTON COME CLEAN ABOUT HIS AFFAIRS, FOR GOD'S SAKES. THE ONLY ANSWER I CAN COME UP WITH SINCE HE IS NOT GIVING ME A SATISFACTORY ONE IS THAT HE IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH.
AND ABOUT THE MOSQUE , I THINK IT IS INSENSITIVE AND A PROVOCATION TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND ALTHOUGH IT IS TRUE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BUILD IT WHEREVER THEY WANT TO, IS ALSO MY BELIEVE THAT OUR PRESIDENT SHOULD AT LEAST ASK THIS PEOPLE TO RECONSIDER THE LOCATION THEY HAVE CHOSEN AS THIS SITE IS A MEMORIAL FOR ALL THE INNOCENT LIVES LOST IN SUCH A TRAGIC A HORRENDOUS PLAN OF A GROUP OF RADICAL MUSLIMS. THE FACT THAT HE DIDNT EVEN TRY SHOULD SHOW HOW MUCH HE CARES ABOUT OUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
PRESIDENT OBAMA TOOK A SWORN OATH TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE VERY FIRST LINE OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION STATES: "CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION." THIS MEANS WHAT IT SAYS.
ReplyDeleteAS FOR THIS IDIOCY ABOUT THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE, EVEN MITCH MCCONNEL AND OTHER GOP LEADERS SAY IT IS NONSENSE. IT HAS BEEN RELEASED. THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT THIS. GIVE IT UP. NO MATTER WHAT PRESIDENT OBAMA DID TO PROVE OTHERWISE, YOU PEOPLE WOULD NOT BELIEVE IT. YOU ARE CONVINCED HE IS A MUSLIM, A KENYAN, AND A COMMUNIST. IF ALL THE ANGELS FROM HEAVEN CAME DOWN AND TOLD YOU OTHERWISE, YOU WOULD SAY THEY ARE DEVIL ANGELS, AND NOT TO BE BELIEVED.
NEXT, YOU WILL WANT PRESIDENT OBAMA TO TAKE HIS SHOES OFF TO PROVE HE DOES NOT HAVE CLOVEN FEET. SHOULD HE DO THIS, TOO? OUR DEMOCRACY IS DEPENDENT UPON AN INFORMED CITIZENRY. IF YOU ALL KEEP SPOUTING SUCH ASININE NONSENSE, IT LOWERS THE ENTIRE PUBLIC DISCOURSE.
DISAGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT ON POLICY. THAT IS FINE. PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE HE INHERITED A MESS FROM THE REPUBLICANS, AND IS TRYING TO CLEAN IT UP. BOTH BILL GATES AND WARREN BUFFETT SUPPORT HIS ECONOMIC POLICIES. ARE THEY COMMUNISTS, TOO? WARREN SAYS "HE HAS MET THE WORST ECONOMIC SITUATION SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND MET IT WITH SOUND KENSEYIAN ECONOMIC POLICIES." HE GRADES HIM A 9.5 OUT OF 10. YOU REALLY NEED TO GO TO COLLEGE AND TAKE CLASSES IN ENTRY LEVEL MACRO-ECONOMICS, CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY, AND WORLD RELIGIONS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA AT ALL WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
obmaa has enormous ability to turn things around. he would never have been a President of USA unless he had these abilities to its climax. Yes, he can turn around things if he listens to those millions who have no jobs. If he stops US imports of foreign cars, then, if he bans goods from china even for one year, then, if he stops immigration from any country for the next ten years, then he is on the right tract - but that is not going to happen because he does not have the guts to do it. Also, send everyone on H1 visas home to their countries. These Indians from India have taken all our jobs that would otherwise go to bright young boys and girls born and brought up in USA - regardless of their color.
ReplyDeleteObama is our first muslim President and first foreign born President. Hopefully he will be the last.
ReplyDeleteHe is neither Muslim nor foreign born.
ReplyDeleteWhen applying for a passport dont you have to provide the long form birth certificate? Id like to see his passport records, school records,medical records, adoption records, etc. Not much has been released.
ReplyDeleteWho cares what you would like to see, you moron? The President of the United States is under NO compulsion to respond to the demands of idiots. All major news agencies have debunked this nonsense. GOP leaders say it has no validity. Do you have a job? Are you in an insane asylum? Why don't you go chasing after UFOs or find the Kennedy assasin! Perhaps you could help OJ Simpson find the "real" killer! These things make just as much sense as your idiotic "Birther" claims!
ReplyDeleteAll Obama has to do is allow ACCESS to these documents to dismiss all of the rumors. The very fact that he does not allow ACCESS means he is HIDING something. What is that 'something'? I dunno. But apparently it's big enough for him to spend a lot of money, time and effort to keep it concealed.
ReplyDeleteTo those of you that like to use the term "birther", there is no such thing. There are simply "Americans" that wish to know the truth and wonder why that's so hard to comprehend. The term "birthers" was coined as a way to denigrate people that simply wanted to know the truth as a way to humiliate.
Sorry, it's not working. The truth,whatever it might be, will eventually come out.
The issue is NOT where he was born the issue he is NOT a natural born citizen, it's Obama who contends his father was never an immigrant but a temporary foreign student with abundance of aid from his home country and American far left foundations.
ReplyDeleteUhhhhh, he's not a communist? I knew I shouldn't have voted for him!
