Lack of Birth Certificate Release Continues to Haunt Obama
This morning was reading articles about the 'birther' that called out from the gallery while the Republicans were reading the Constitution. Unlike some sites, we thought that act was totally classless. Members of the gallery are privileged to witness what is happening on the floor of the House and should follow the decorum to be seen and not heard.
That said, none of us know what his birth certificate says which is sad that President Obama has let this fester for this long so the ultimate blame for all the speculation and disgust belongs on his shoulders for not releasing his birth certificate. The Governor of Hawaii comes out recently saying positively they have the original birth certificate and then we hear no more -- she won't answer questions. It would be so simple for him to have released the certified long form of the birth certificate instead of spending millions to keep it hidden. We have never been a 'birther' but anyone who says suspicions are not raised is not telling the truth. No one spends millions to keep their birth certificate private.
Like others, we believe it has more to do with who the father is on the certificate after he has spent his whole political career running as a son of Kenya. It could even be the race that is marked since his mother could have marked white and Obama would never be able to deal with that.
Whatever it is, before he runs for office that birth certificate needs to be made public and allow the American people to know if he is a natural born American citizen or not. Since his 'supposed' Father was from Kenya, his citizenship at birth would have been Britain since Kenya was not yet an independent country. His Mother at the time was not old enough to have him be a natural born citizen according to laws in place at that time. Anyone could file a birth in Hawaii in those years even if they were not born there.
A bill needs passed by Congress that states before someone runs for President a copy of their certified birth certificate needs to be presented to the Clerk of the House Representatives so that every candidate running is certified as a natural born citizen of the United States. With that, the question of where someone is born will never arise again. The certified copy costs $15 to $25 so that is a small price to pay to ensure every candidate meets the Constitutional requirements to be President of the United States.
Time for the whole truth to come out so we can stop with the guessing. Is Obama a natural born United States citizen or not? Simple to answer and release of the birth certificate will stop the speculation.
Are we holding our breath waiting for the release? No way!
