Obama Illegitimate Until He Proves Otherwise

There has been an issue with Barack Obama since well before the general election and that is, is he qualified to serve as president? This issue does not deal with his skill to hold the job (in that case he is definitely unqualified), no in this instance it deals with his qualification under the Constitution. Is Barack Obama a natural born citizen as required by our Constitution or has the biggest con game in America been perpetrated by the man who wants to move us to Socialism and his henchmen in the DNC?

Before we go any further let’s dispense with the fraud that his supporters will undoubtedly bring to light. No you morons, Obama did not provide a copy of his birth certificate and his BIRTH CERTIFICATE was not verified by anyone. A Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) was released. It was verified as real, big deal. A COLB is just proof that a birth is registered in Hawaii, not that the bearer was actually born there. Hawaii allowed foreign births to be registered up until the mid 1970s and it is possible that the reason Obama has not released the vault copy of his BIRTH CERTIFICATE is because he was not born in the US. For you moonbats who insist that this is a closed issue because The One has demonstrated his US birth, you are delusional and your argument lacks credibility. The COLB is not, nor will it be, a valid proof of citizenship.

At issue here is whether Barack Obama is a natural born citizen of the US. There are many indicators that he is not and thus not qualified to serve as president. Two years ago, Sarah Herlihy, who has ties to Obama, wrote this:

The natural born citizen requirement in Article II of the United States Constitution has been called the “stupidest provision” in the Constitution, “undecidedly un-American,” “blatantly discriminatory,” and the “Constitution’s worst provision.” Since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s victory in the California gubernatorial recall election of 2003, commentators and policy-makers have once again started to discuss whether Article II of the United States Constitution should be amended to render naturalized citizens eligible for the presidency. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution defines the eligibility requirements for an individual to become president. Article II provides:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Although these sixty-two words are far from extraordinary, the natural born citizen provision is controversial because it prevents over 12.8 million Americans from being eligible for the presidency. Source

Does anyone on this planet think she actually had any concern for Arnold Schwarzenegger? Does anyone really think her concern was for poor Arnie or was she laying the groundwork for the future of the Lightworker? Admittedly, this piece does not mean Obama is not natural born, it is just one piece of an interesting puzzle.

Obama’s grandmother in Kenya says that she was at the bedside when he was born. She has stated this a number of times and she has not changed her story. The media pay little attention to this but she has said it more than once. The people in Kenya have stated they are having celebrations in Obama’s birthplace (and it is not in Hawaii).

Obama’s travels as a youth and young man tend to indicate that he was not an American citizen because he went to places Americans were not allowed to go. If he had an American passport he would not have been allowed to enter. If he had any other passport he is not natural born because he would have given up his American citizenship because the US did not recognize dual citizenship with these countries because they would not recognize them.

Obama has refused to release his college records. Those records could very easily demonstrate that he was registered as a citizen of another country. Of course they could show that he was registered as an American though one would think that he would release anything that helps prove his claim. Perhaps he was registered as a Muslim and he does not want people to know that because he said he was never a Muslim (and the media gave him a pass on that lie).

No hospital on Oahu claims to have had Obama or his mother as patients. I realize that calling hospitals for information is a shot in the dark and what you get might not be accurate because of confidentiality but Obama and his sister said he was born there and they named different hospitals. Both of those facilities claim that Obama and Obama-momma were not there. Once again, this is the least reliable because people are asking about events from nearly 50 years ago. Do we expect the hospitals to be able to find old paper records now? That is what birth certificates are for.

And therein lies the issue. The easiest thing that Obama could do to clear the issue up is to release his vault copy birth certificate. It would cost about $10 to get it and I am willing to bet that Hawaii would wave the fee for Obama. Instead, Obama has spent untold amounts of money to keep his birth certificate under lock and key. His records in Kenya, where one reporter alleges to have seen a Kenyan birth certificate, have been locked up tight. In Hawaii, whatever documents the state has on the Messiah are locked away as well.

I am not convinced that Obama is qualified under our Constitution to be president. I realize that there are those who will claim that this is sour grapes because he won but this is not accurate. This issue has been out there since he was still slugging it out with Hillary. It has been ignored by the media and the public. I readily admit that I did not want Obama as the president but he won. If he is qualified then good for him and bad for America. However, he has failed to demonstrate his qualification. I don’t care how many of his buddies think the Constitutional requirements are stupid, the fact is they are the law and they apply to Obama just like they do everyone else.

I realize that Democrats believe that our Constitution is one of convenience. If they want something they will jump all over the issue of the Constitution but if they do not agree with something they will say it is living and that it is subject to interpretation. The fact is, it is not a living document and it says what it does for a reason and it is our duty as citizens to ensure it is followed by the lawmakers who work for us.

This is my entire issue. I don’t care if it is Obama or Ronald Reagan, if they fail to demonstrate they are Constitutionally qualified then they should not hold the office. Unfortunately, there are many who think we have bigger fish to fry. This, to them, is not a big deal. None of the news networks are interested in covering this. Where are Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and all the other voices of conservatism? Have they begun practicing for the imposition of the fairness doctrine? Of course, I imagine if Obama’s birth certificate is revealed and it shows him unqualified these entities will be all over the airwaves telling us how they were on top of it. Bill O’Reilly, who is silent on the issue, would tell us he caused it to happen and that he is looking out for us….

As it stands right now, the issue will be up to the courts ruling on any number of the lawsuits filed challenging Obama’s status.

I predict the Supreme Court will take a pass on the issue. The Court lacks the testicular fortitude to do the right thing no matter how hard it is. Some of them will worry about riots if they rule The One unqualified and others will worry that they looked partisan and had agendas. They will worry that they will be viewed in a bad light when in reality they will only be doing their job under the very Constitution that they have sworn to uphold.

If this issue is not important enough to pursue then we lose standing. In the future, how can we expect the courts to take us seriously when we have an issue with them in regard to the Constitution? What happens to our standing in the future when they make some rule denying free speech or taking guns away or if they require people to perform so many hours of (non punitive) community service without recompense? All these would violate the Constitution but if we allow them to dictate the terms on which items are challenged then we will certainly lose standing and in the not too distant future our founding documents will be little more than words on paper.

Those who fear riots are cowards. The people who wrote our Constitution knew they would be at war when they signed it and they did so anyway. Those who allow fear to decide their protection of our Constitution dishonor the men and women who have spilled blood protecting it and those it governs since our country was formed.

If Obama fails to actually be transparent like he swore he would when he was pandering for votes then his legitimacy will remain in question. If he cannot obey the law then why should the rest of us obey anything he and his Congress comes up with? Screw them. They have no regard for the law so why should the rest of us worry about anything they put forward. Until Obama proves he is qualified to be president, anything he signs is not legitimate.

It is amazing that in 2000 when George Bush won the lawsuit that Al Gore filed, the left went bonkers and called Bush the Illegitimate President. Now, eight years later, they have their own guy who might actually be illegitimate and they are ignoring it.

I said before that if he won he would be my president but he will not be my president until he proves that he is qualified under the rules contained in the document he will swear to uphold. Until Obama proves he meets the criteria then he is illegitimate.

Barry, spend the $10 and put this issue to rest.
