The Las Vegas Sun incites the Birthers-again!

Obama needs to show his birth certificate
Owen Nelson, Las Vegas
Thursday, Aug. 6, 2009 | 2:01 a.m.

Are you ready for another round of craziness? This comment in the Las Vegas Sun on President Obama's birth certificate brought out all the colors again-and of course, staying on topic is optional.
I swear, the Las Vegas Sun prints the starter story just to mess with us. Must have been a slow day..Don't forget to look for the clincher comment in every LV Sun comment list(the leave it if you don't like it..kind of like, Where's Waldo!)


The column by The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson in Tuesday’s Sun makes the claim that “No reason exists for taking ‘birthers’ seriously.” Remarkably, he supports his claim with a falsehood.

He tells us that state officials in Hawaii have produced Obama’s birth certificate. What they produced was a “Certificate of Live Birth,” something quite different from a birth certificate. Perhaps Mr. Robinson should answer this question: If Obama has nothing to hide, why does he not voluntarily release his real birth certificate?

"God forbid that any crazed dumb nuts would make such claims."

Hey, those "dumb nuts" are just that - DUMB. And I don't care which side they're on.

Did the Bush Administration fall asleep on the job? Yes - they got a intelligence memo titled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike In U.S." and pretty well ignored it. Even the 9/11 Commission called them on that.

But to claim that they knew the specific target or had a hand in it? Come on, that's another one of those conspiracy theories that would require thousands of people with absolutely no leaks.

Just like this one - a certificate of live birth is, for all intents and purposes, a birth certificate.

But I'll tell you what - you call up the state records office for whatever state you were born in and ask them to send you a copy of your original birth certificate. See what kind of response you get.

Would Mr. Nelson care to explain what the difference is between a birth certificate and a certificate of live birth?

When I sent away to the state of Connecticut for a copy of my birth certificate a few years back, they sent me a "certificate of birth." If that is not the same thing as a birth certificate, how can I prove that I am indeed an American citizen?

Fortunately, the State Department agreed that the document was proof of citizenship and I was issued my passport. I wonder if they'd give me the passport today now that Mr. Nelson has told them I didn't really provide proof of citizenship?

Birther morons.

It was in the best interests of the Bush/Cheney administration to get McCain elected. Are you telling me that they - in charge of all intelligence agencies at the time (not to mention any connections still held by Bush Sr.) - would not have jumped at the chance to discredit Obama's birth status? It would have been the fastest, easiest solution to their problem.

Many states have changed the format on BCs. When I was born they took a picture of a "chalkboard" where all my info had been written in on. My original copy has a raised seal. Requesting a copy today, I'd get a "cert of live birth" on a generic form on a blue background with ONLY my parents names, my name and dob on it. My original has my dr, the nurse, hospital and serveral other pieces of info.

"But I'll tell you what - you call up the state records office for whatever state you were born in and ask them to send you a copy of your original birth certificate. "

I have a copy of my original birth certificate (they keep images of the original) from North Carolina.

In fact, the only legal form of a North Carolina birth certificate is a copy of the image of original birth certificate.

In 2001, Hawaii decided to destory all the original copies of the birth certificates. Now, they just print a form that is off a database. The original signatures by the parent(s) and the doctor are gone as well as other information that was put on the form but not carried over to the database.

I think the newspaper listing of his birth is good proof that he was born in Hawaii.

He probably has a copy of the original birth certificate. He has chosen not to release that or even say if he has one.

He also has choosen not release his records from Columbia even though he has released them from Harvard.

What is he hiding about Columbia?

Doug brings me to another point,

Al Quada attacked us or our interests at least 5 times, with another 3 attempts during Clinton's administration. Clinton also was offered Bin Laden by the Saudis and he refused, allowing him to go to Afghanistan and plot 9/11. 9/11 took years of planning, yet everyone wants to blame Bush who had only been in office 7 1/2 months. Obama has been in office 6 months now, when do you think he'll quit blaming Bush for everything?

Obama obviously doesn't care to make this right, or he would have presented his birth certificate already.

Even if you are right, Clinton had 8 years to capture or stop Bin Laden, who had struck at least 5 times.

Yet George Bush who had been in office just 7 1/2 months, was supposed to capture or stop Bin Laden from carrying out an attack that was being planned for years.

12/1992: a bomb went off at the Gold Mohur hotel, where U.S. troops had been staying while en-route to Somalia, though the troops had already left when the bomb exploded. The bombers targeted a second hotel, the Aden Movenpick, where they believed American troops might also be staying. That bomb detonated prematurely

2/1993: Bombing of World Trade Center;

10/1993: Killing of U.S. soldiers in Somalia.

6/1996: Truck bomb explodes outside Khobar Towers military complex in Saudi Arabia; 19 American servicemen killed, hundreds of others injured.

8/1998: Bombing of U.S. embassies in East Africa; 224 killed

10/2000: Bombing of the USS Cole in port in Yemen; 17 U.S. sailors killed.

indythinker: I don't know what dark secrets you're looking for in Obama's educational history. It looks pretty impressive to me but probably you see it as getting a free ride via entitlement programs for black people.

Following high school, he moved to Los Angeles in 1979 to attend Occidental College. After two years he transferred in 1981 to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations and graduated with a B.A. in 1983.
Obama entered Harvard Law School in late 1988. He was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year, and president of the journal in his second year. He graduated with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991. Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review gained national media attention.

I didn't go back further than that because my point was that Bush was supposed to stop Al Qaeda in 7 months when Clinton did nothing in 8 years. So it's been about 6 months of Obama, it's almost time to stop whining about Bush.

In 6 months Obama has passed the "stimulus", Cash for Clunkers, extended mortgage credit, put together a plan for socialized medicine, passed crap & tax, and quadrupled the deficit.

I realize this gives you libs great joy, but he spent more time mulling over what dog to get his kids than he did on any one of these important decisions.

Obama can't continue to blame Bush, he may have inherited a bad economy, but he needs to take responsibility for the changes he's made, the money he's spending, and whether or not his policies work. This economy is his now.
