Obama's Vacation Plans Don't Miff Hawaii
By Amanda Ruggeri, Washington Whispers
President Obama may have passed over his native Hawaii to vacation in Martha's Vineyard, but Sen. Daniel Akaka isn't miffed. The president, he says, is unmistakably Hawaiian. The proof: Obama's use of the "shaka sign"—raising a hand with thumb and pinky extended and the other fingers folded over. "That means, 'Hey, everything's OK.' " Akaka adds: "He'll probably come to Hawaii in the winter, when it's cold. I know he loves Hawaii."

Barack Obama
LOL. You don't lose your citizenship by marrying a foreign national. Neither would you lose it if you were adopted by a foreign national. Some of the ideas you birthers have are ludicrous.
Birth Certificate
I find it Ironic that educated, progressive people are unwilling to put to bed or even seriously discuss some obvious inconsistencies that a large percentage of the masses are seeing. The lack of transparency on this issue, amount of energy spent on defense from the accused is astounding and leads me to start believing the opposition that our President is indeed an illegal alien and the first one foreign born (in Mombasa, Kenya). Could you imagine the uproar if this was a conservative politician not President Obama? I personally would love to see this answered once and for all but somehow I doubt that the ruling elitists will allow it.
A birth announcement in a local paper would be an obvious step along with obtaining a certificate of live birth instead of a regular birth certificate to make the foreign born baby appear American for all the obvious advantages that would allow. On the surface this would appear to warrant further investigation.
The Long Form Birth Certificate is in Obama’s position or available and they are choosing to not release it. In the interest of satisfying most of the critics (as always the far end of the spectrum will believe what they want to believe and will never be satisfied) release of the long form birth certificate would satisfy most and the failure of Obama to allow its release is what makes most people suspicious. The Long form Birth Certificate is available in the archives so why not release it, this is not being allowed by Obama. Does it not make one wonder?
What a double standard, the unsubstantiated accusations that are propagated on Palin are printed as fact and any reasonable assumptions on Obama are dismissed as insane ramblings by the progressives is unacceptable and must be answered. The Reagan revolution starts here.
It does not matter what I alone think, but this matter is becoming a blemish on Obama and there are 100's of thousands that are becoming disenfranchised by being ignored and ridiculed and that does matter. Similar to those that accused our last president of lying and/or fraudulently being elected certainly affected his ability to rule and as many is now accusing our current president of fraud and deceit this will affect Obama’s ability to rule. Thank God and the Armed Forces that have died for the free speech that we have.

Obama was probably born in Kenya, which is why he won't show his birth certificate. But even if he was born in Hawaii, he would have lost his natural-born citizenship status when Lolo Soetoro adopted him in Indonesia (as his mother also would have lost her citizenship through that marriage). If Obama and his mother returned to Hawaii legally then they would be naturalized citizens. If they did not return legally, then Obama has been an illegal alien since around 1971.
