The birth certificate controversy
It’s bunk. I’ve been thinking about it a bit in the last week, and I can’t come up with a valid reason for Obama to show his birth certificate publicly. Some are saying they worry he was actually born in Kenya, negating his run for office. Ok, well, leave that to those in charge of swearing him in. Surely someone in a position of authority has seen it.
Others say, “Well, what if it lists him as a Muslim??” My answer? If it does, then he’d better not show it. The fact that he’s been a practicing Christian for over 20 years at least means he would be marked for death as a Muslim apostate.
There are many legitimate reasons not to vote for Barak (no middle name) Obama. Not seeing his birth certificate is not one of them.
“Ok, well, leave that to those in charge of swearing him in. Surely someone in a position of authority has seen it.”
Uh huh. And if the people in charge of making sure the American President is, y’know, American, are as diligent and sharp eyed as the HRC bureaucrats we have here in Canada, well…
I’d venture that Obama had better have a copy of the damn thing tattooed on his forehead.
Just sayin’.

That’s just silly. American birth certificates don’t list religion at all. Anyway, given that his mother was an 18-year-old college student in Hawaii when he was born, I kinda doubt that she would have travelled to a Third World place like Kenya in order to have her baby.

Well then, how about his wife’s “Whitey” tape RightGirl. Mo Rocca found it and he has it posted here:

I’m sure you’ll agree this is a ‘legitimate’ reason. Frightening.

Forget the Birth Certificate.
I spoke to Ms. Okubo late Wednesday afternoon, and she said she had seen the version of Obama’s certificate of live birth posted on the sites. While her office cannot verify the information on a form without the permission of the certificate holder (Obama), she said “the form is exactly the same” and it has “all the components of a birth certificate” record issued by the state. In other words, she sees no reason to think the version posted on Obama’s web site and Daily Kos is not genuine.
