Bev,

Glad to see a question of yours still up, I'd beter answer it before it gets pulled by the thought police, so here goes:

I fail to see where asking that the truth be told constitutes 'smearing', especially when most of the American people just want to hear the truth, for once. We are all so sick of being lied to. I think that if the document showed a natural born citizen's birth, the governor of Hawaii wouldn't have ordered it (a public record of live birth)sealed. My birth certificate denotes the locality of my birth as Port Chester, NY. I fail to see why this is so damaging if it simply states Honol

Appalling, isn't it? I, for one, and I am sure I am not alone, find this abrogation, or potential abrogation of the Constitution a willful and mindful cowardice by the Establishment, and I mean nearly every one there is in the country. The MSM is on the Obamanation's side, the DNC doesn't want to look like the cheats they are, and nobody else wants to touch it, and risk all the blacks rising up and claiming racism. Again. In the meanwhile, We the People are getting the shaft, and I do not believe that we ought to stand still for it. Even if you are proBama, you ought to want this question settled, rather than to have this pall over your choice. Unless, of course, you're too stupid to see what kind of nasty precedent this sets. If the Constitution fails us, the country is doomed, and you obots along with all the rest of us.

I can well understand GW's reluctance to mix in, but somebody has got to cowboy up for the people of the USA, and I will be beyond grateful to whoever will. There is no way this shysterism ought to be tolerated, and particularly not by those sworn to 'uphold the Constitution,' even if it never specified who was supposed to check on the candidate's eligibility.

Real birth certificate or not, isn't it the seriousness of the accusation that is the real truth? LOL



in actuality, I understand that the issue has more to do with the amount of time Obama's mother was out of the country and living in the country before she moved overseas and gave birth. The document was just a document signed in Hawaii when they returned to the country. And probably wasn't held to the complete scrutiny of the law. Two months short of the governmental restriction on citizen ship is still illegal and not a valid citizenship.

I firmly believe that the truth will never be known, because the system is so corrupt that they all lie for each other if it puts money in their pockets.

I wish there was such a thing as an honest politician, but that only happens in old movies.

Mr. Fratto is just a politicians mouthpiece and he said what he was told to say. He probably got a little bonus for how he answered the question.

We will just have to wait and see, but we will never know the truth. Mark my word, he'll get to stay, right or wrong. He has them in his pocket!

Q Good. The CEO of WorldNetDaily has called on the President-elect to release a birth certificate listing the hospital and names of parents. The White House believes that this would fully satisfy the constitutional requirement, don't you?



MR. FRATTO: I don't think I have anything to say on that, Lester, and I think we're going to end it right there.



Thank you.



UNBELIEVABLE ARROGANCE!

I can't believe these people - they act like the constitution doesn't even exist. For once if anyone had any common since in the media and they wanted us conservatives to go away with our hounding about Obama's birth certificate then why don't they just fork up his REAL ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE and then maybe we would shut up.



Whats Obama got to hide? The more he denies access to his birth certificate or the longer he stalls the more convinced that he is a fraud.



Prove me wrong Obama, I double dog dare you! Show me you really are on the same level as all American Citizens.



Lets get this over with so we can move on to better things.



If you are truely a fraud then get the heck out.

Thank you Beverly I had not seen this web site. I have already sent an email to comments@whitehouse.gov concerning the interview with Mr. Fratto and the last question and answer. I have already ask my friend nd family to join me in sign the petition. I plan to telephone them tomorrow and write a letter also. We can not have Obama telling us what he is going to do or not going to do. This is our country and we have the right to see a valid birth certificate.

I thank you to Don for the web sit you gave us.



I am really in awe that we have allowed this birth certificate to go on for so long without making Obama present it. He should not have been allowed to run for president without showing it to us. After all of this and him showing us two fake birth certificate, if he shows us another one I will not believe it a real birth certificate. I do not trust the man or his den of thieves.

The US Supreme Court is going to sit down and decide if they should hear on case that was filed in New Jersey, this particular case names Obama but also questions McCain's natural born citizenship. this will happen on December 5th.



Obama has until December 1st to answer the charges brought up by Phillip J. Berg and the Federal Elections Committee has already sent in a waiver, meaning that they will not contest the charges but more over they don't think Berg will win.



All of this should come to a head before the Electoral College cast their votes, wouldn't it be interesting if the Supreme Court found Obama not qualified and gave the election to McCain.



Before you liberals start yapping that Biden would take over as President, stop and think, Obama has not been inaugurated yet,

the Supreme Court could invalidate all of Obama's votes and since Biden was not voted on individually the whole ticket could be thrown out, this could setup McCain as the winner and new President-elect.

Well the site is very real and legit.I shows clearly that somones question was cut off when no legit answer could be given.Libs will likely Just call him a racist,Hey that's all they know! We all know the libreals like to duck and dodge.
2008-11-25 17:44:20 UTC
Please do not send us to factcheck it is not reliable and is owned by Annenberg. That is like paying a witness to testify. If there is a valid Birth certificate what is the problem? What is the fight about? Why is the case still under review if there is nothing to it?

I can't wait for this. Justice Thomas agreed to talk this over and look into it. As did Scotus. I signed tons of petitions also.

Thanks for that link.

Mr. Fratto may just know something that's being with held from the general public, he gave an evasive answer.

Not surprising that the question wasn't answered. Either it is a conspiracy or something worse. Check out my link?

Is it just me or has this whole birth certificate problem been going on for a really long time?



I think if it was a legitimate claim they would have dealt with and come up with an appropriate response a long time ago perhaps when this rumor first started flying around.

I don't see what the problem is, all obama has to do is provide a simple piece of paper that we all born in this country have. If he would just show it all the fuss would be over!!!!!!

No, I hadn't heard that. Thanks. That reminds me of the Obama voters that were asked what they knew about him and the others running. They had no clue.Mushrooms all!

Mr Fratto seemed reluctant to feed the insanity of that mentally unbalanced person by catering to him.
