You know. If this is THAT BIG of an issue, Obama should just publish his birth certificate (sans sensitive info). Otherwise, these bullshiat conspiracy theories are going to flourish on the internet.

Um...he has. And Hawaii has verified it.

Obama has already produced enough information that any court of law anywhere in the country would determine that he is qualified to be President.

So, a supreme court decision that ended a recount is the same as complaining about a birth certificate.

Well, thanks for that clarification.

 
exvaxman [TotalFark] 2009-02-22 12:43:18 PM  
Just to step in, what was released in my understanding was a certificate of birth, not the actual birth certificate. There is a legal difference. Now can we all just shut up and try and get our Country's act together?

There is the new fangled thingee called "teh google", you should check it out sometime.

There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama's official birth certificate. State law (Hawai'i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record," DOH Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said.

Fukino said she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate.

"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai'i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai'i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures," Fukino said.

Fukino said that no state official, including Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama's certificate be handled differently from any other.

For fark's sake, are people STILL banging on about this? Get over it already, and stop drumming your heels on the floor and crying "B-B-BUT ITS NOT FAAAAAAIR!" His certificate was provided, and anyone can see it now. Two minutes with The Google will tell you that.

The real tragedy here is that the people whose best ideas have gotten America to where we are today have now repeatedly warned us that Obama is a Fascist, socialist, communist, secret mooslim, who hangs around with turrists, participates in voter fraud, is a racist, and wasn't even born in America.

and for some whacked out reason we aren't listening to them.

Apparently you need to work on your reading comprehension before you try something as complex as "teh google"

So here is my post to you again. I will attempt to help you out by bolding the important passage.

State law (Hawai'i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record," DOH Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said.

Look, folks, he said he hasn't seen it. I bet he hasn't--because he closes his eyes every time someone produces it.

There really is a sort of person who goes through life with that four year old understanding of reality--you can change it by closing your eyes really really hard. They tend to be authoritarians, and, for the last thirty to forty years, vote Republican.

And he's been a ranking member of various banking committees. What does he have to say about his performance? "Well, I warned them about this but nobody did anything. And I warned them about that but nobody did anything. Yes, I consider myself an effective Senator. Why do you ask?"

Get over it GOPtards, ya lost...badly. Fair and square. He's the President. Stop the pansy-ass whining.

Actually, keep it up and become more irrelevant. For the good of the country.

Smart people know that all things are equivalent. If someone said something about Bush's election then ANY claim about Obama's is exactly the same and therefore a valid comparison.
