It is rather interesting for me to read the article. Thanx for it. I like such themes and everything connected to them. I definitely want to read a bit more on that site soon. BTW, pretty good design that blog has, but don’t you think it should be changed every few months?

So I guess George Washington wasn't elegible either?

What a dumb rule!

We need to know that IF or president has not followed the rules of ourt constitution he cannot be our president no matter what the liberal spammers want to say. WE also must keep in mind that the "ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT" contract that he is about to sign us into is not a valid contract as he has not proven his legitimacy as our commander in chief.

If he is not truley the pres. then no decision NOR the decision of any Gov afficial while he is in office valid or legal.

The constitution requires that a LEGAL NATURAL BORN CITIZEN be our commander in chief in order for ANY decisions made by the government to be legal.

So put that in your pipes and smoke on it.

WE HAVE HAD NO GOV. since Busch left the whitehouse.

OR is Busch in reality STILL OUR PROSIDENT?

Any person with at least a little bit of intelligence knows that to hide something is addmision of guilt of something.That means, that there is something that you are hiding to protect yourself,or someone else, from knowing the truth.If we can`t trust our own government and or our own president, WHO THE HELL CAN WE TRUST? THE ANSWER_________, IS

GOD!

I suggest that all birthers and doubters of the authenticity of President Obama's birth certificate and citizenship research the internet for Security Directive 63 (1991), which established the Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) for all federal employees, Congressman and Executive branch personnel for clearance/access to national classified information, Executive Order 12968 (Clearance for National Security Information), Standard Form 86 (Access to Classified Information), The Office of Personnel Management's Federal Investigative Services Division (OPM FISD), and the FBI for investigations of VP and POTUS. Also read OPM Federal Investigation Notice No. 06-02, Subject: Delayed Birth Certificate, dated March 16, 2009. Your research should reveal that the investigative agency's first step is a verification of the birth certificate and citizenship status of the subject Documents must be verified by official authentication statements. The SSBI is and extensive and in-depth investigation involving checks of files in the FBI, other national agencies, local criminal, civil, credit, medical, military, education, interviews of listed and unlisted references, developed leads for involvement in subversive activities, and most importantly for loyalty to the US. The finished investigation is thoroughly adjudicated by a professional staff and recommendation for issuance/denial rendered.

President Obama has no obligation to furnish any of his personal papers outside of requirements of the Standard Form 86. His birth certificate and all information provided in SF 86 has been checked and verified by competent authorities of the federal and state. Every Congressman should be intimately aware of these laws/regulations and why they are not speaking out on it is a complete mystery. Senator Obama must have been vetted years ago, and the fact that none has been leaked by the security agencies of the Obama SSBI is truly amazing. The seeming lack of informed knowledge of our huge security apparatus is appalling. Where is MSM on this?

Now Obama’s own Myspace page says he is 52 years of age. That would mean he was born in 1957, not 1961 as the fake Factcheck COLB says.

The questions won’t go away until obama releases his hidden records. All he has to do is make the following official public statement,

"I Barack Obama authorize the State of Hawaii to release and make public all of my records on file."

That's it. Issue over. But he won't because he's a fraud!! Obama knows that millions of citizens want to see it yet he continues to hide it. What and why is he hiding?

And maybe more disturbing is why don't BHO's supporters want to know the whole truth, especially since there's a reward of $100,000 for proof that Obama is a "natural born" citizen of the United States? The answer is that Obama’s very own supporters also know he’s a fraud!

OBAMA, STOP HIDING. SHOW US YOUR LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND OTHER RECORDS!!!!!

Yes, Florida Bill, the evil Republicans who are (supposed to be, anyway) for smaller government, and letting you keep more of what you earn, and letting you keep more of your personal freedoms. How dare they!

Really, though, ever since so many "conservatives" turned into neo-conservatives who like Big Government but just for different reasons than Democrats do, they're all kind of two sides of the same coin. You have to look rather closely nowadays to pick out certain people in both parties who are for You and Your Freedoms. It's not a R vs. D thing, it's a Big Government taking your money and controlling your life vs. a small government that does not thing.

All President Transparency has to do is show the long form. I have seen only the rinky-dink short one which means nothing. Every member of Congress should be pushing for this issue to get settled. I know, I know, few people in government care about oaths of office or The Constitution anymore anyway.

If someone has a link to a picture of the full birth certificate and not the inkjet-printer short form that means nothing, please post the url here. Otherwise, the question remains, and it should remain. It's not a black thing, it's not a Democrat thing, it's a President of the United States thing. And anyone who thinks this is not a big deal might want to think about the principles this country was founded upon and what it's Supposed To stand for.

Or, if you want Big Government to keep lying to you and taking your money and freedoms away and controlling your life, to keep stealing your children's futures through bailouts and "stimulus" bills that those who vote for them don't even read, then keep voting how you've been voting and keep doing what you've been doing.

The republicans know Obama is a US citizen. They simply lie to distract the weak minded followers in their party that will believe anything.

I am convinced no person can be a good republican and a good American at the same time.

The republican party has no ethics, no notion of right and wrong and no honor.

They will try to win at any cost, even it means destroying our country.

SHAME ON YOU REPUBLICANS!

His type of anti-Americanism/socialism could only have been home-grown in the good ole U.S.A.
