Re: That was decidely NOT Obama's original birth certificate

Oh Tony, your diatribe flows in many areas.

I cannot get my birth certificate and I live in the same city that I was born in.  I can get a very similar to Hawaii computer generated certification of my birth, just like Obama has.  They won't even let me see my birth certificate!!!  I've tried.  The copy that I got (before computers they did one by hand/typewriter - but not the original) got me into the military.  It also got me a Top Secret security clearance (FBI granted) in the company that I worked for.

Hawaii considers law on Obama's birth certificate

Apr 21, 2010

Some folks in Hawaii are tired of dealing with the controversy over President Obama's birth certificate.

The Hawaii Legislature is close to passing a law that would allow the state to ignore repeated requests for to produce the document. Lawsuits have been filed by people who don't believe Obama was born in Honolulu and is a U.S.-born citizen. The blogosphere and even some news stories have called these Obama critics "birthers."

This comes as Obama critics in Arizona try to get its Legislature to pass a law to require Obama -- and other presidential candidates -- to produce their birth certificates before they can get on a ballot.

Press secretary Robert Gibbs said there's little the White House can do about "crazy Internet rumors" that Obama was not born in the United States and is therefore ineligible for the presidency. He noted that the campaign posted copies of Obama's birth certificate, and that newspapers in Honolulu printed notices of his birth, which was on Aug. 4, 1961.

"I'm the guy who said 'put the birth certificate on the Internet,' '" Gibbs said. "It has apparently, among those people, dissuaded virtually none of them."

"BTW, this country does not and never has operated as a majority rule country.  While we hear a lot of lip service about it being a "democracy', it is in fact a constitutionally secured Republic, where the rights of one and all are protected against oppression by minority rule.

I made the point earlier about the U. S. not being a democracy but a Republic, so why are you restating it?

One of the things required by the Constitution is that a person must be a native born citizen in order to serve as President.  Obama has failed to provide definitive proof that he is a native born citizen."

By your convoluted definition - I cannot prove that I'm a native born citizen either and neither can any person born in Hawaii, or in my state of Washington.  My German grandmother could easily say that I was born in Bonn, but it wouldn't mean anything - it's the birth certificate that counts.

How do you explain the newspaper announcement of birth?  You have failed to produce any evidence or even any logic that Obama was not born in Hawaii.
