The Founding Father's Real Reason for the Second Amendment
And remember the words of Thomas Jefferson "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

T'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
Can You Really Still Believe That None of These People Would Have Done a Better Job???
With a father like this, it is little wonder President Obama did not want to release his full birth certificate. Barack Hussein Obama, Sr, the root of The Roots of Obama's Rage.
Though the proof that he was actually born in Hawaii may silence some critics, a new, rather more interesting side of his life has emerged - that his father Barack Obama senior was a serial womanizer and polygamist who government and university officials were trying to force out of the country.
Obama senior married Stanley Ann Dunham, a white student from Kansas, not only when he was said to have already been married to a woman in Kenya, but at a time when interracial marriages were still illegal in many parts of the U.S.
Documents obtained from the U.S. immigration service paint a picture of a man who 'had an eye for the ladies' and, according to his file, had to be warned several times to stay away from girls at the university.
Heather Smathers, a investigative journalist with the Arizona Independent, obtained the files through a Freedom of Information request.
A memo from a University of Hawaii foreign student advisor said that Obama senior had 'been running around with several girls since he first arrived here and last summer she cautioned him about his playboy ways. Subject replied that he would "try" to stay away from the girls.'
It also considered his earlier Kenya marriage as a grounds to deny him a visa extension but concluded that 'polygamy was not an excludable or deportation charge'.

Heather Smathers, a investigative journalist with the Arizona Independent, obtained the files through a Freedom of Information request.
A memo from a University of Hawaii foreign student advisor said that Obama senior had 'been running around with several girls since he first arrived here and last summer she cautioned him about his playboy ways. Subject replied that he would "try" to stay away from the girls.'
It also considered his earlier Kenya marriage as a grounds to deny him a visa extension but concluded that 'polygamy was not an excludable or deportation charge'.
He is further described as 'a slippery character', and his relationships with 'several women' are discussed and investigated, while questions about his 'marital problems' are repeatedly raised.
Another immigration memo, from June 1964, records that Harvard officials were trying 'to get rid of him' and 'couldn't seem to figure out how many wives he had'.
The documents also specify that he had a child - Barack Obama junior - while he was at the university on August 4, 1961.
The memo also notes that he be 'closely questioned before another extension is granted - and denial be considered'.
Other notes make reference to some kind of campaign to drive Obama senior out of the country and back to Kenya. The memo advised officials to withdraw his funding.
It said: 'Obama has passed his general exams, which indicates that on academic grounds he is entitled to stay around here and write his thesis; however [Harvard] are going to try to cook something up to ease him out.... They are planning on telling him that they will not give him any money, and that he had better return to Kenya and prepare his thesis at home.'
President Obama's mother met his father at a Russian language class at the University of Hawaii in 1960. At the time he was the first and only African student at the university.
When they married, she did not realize that he had a wife and child in Kenya. The couple divorced in 1963 and Ann Dunham struggled as a single mother to bring up her child, just as her estranged husband was at studying at Harvard and reportedly carousing after women.
The pictures have been put up in a 'shrine' in the apartment where Obama grew up
President Obama is honored in the shrine that comprises a host of family photos outside the lobby of an Punahou Circle apartment complex in Hawaii
Meanwhile a collection of pictures collected in Punahou show President Obama with family and friends, depicting a regular childhood in the 60s and 70s as he was looked after by his grandparents, oblivious to his real father's womanizing ways.
The President was raised with help from his grandfather, a soldier, and grandmother who worked in a bank.
The last time President Obama saw his father was in 1971 when he was ten years old. Obama Sr. was killed 11 years later in a car accident in 1982.
Of his early childhood, President Obama has said 'That my father looked nothing like the people around me - that he was black as pitch, my mother white as milk - barely registered in my mind.'
Longtime residents in the Punahou Circle Apartment block have put up the display to honor their former neighbor, who they remember as a 'sweet' child.
They said it was set up to honor the resident turned president and pay homage to his grandparents Madelyn and Stanley.
The pictures show Mr. Obama as a little boy with his family, later as a student receiving an honor and ultimately his official presidential picture and one with his wife Michelle and their two children.
Barack Obama as a student, years before he entered the White House
The politician lived with his grandparents in Hawaii before moving to Chicago
The pictures emerged after Mr Obama was forced to publish his full birth certificate in a bid to quash rumours about his nationality.
The U.S. President said he made the document available because America 'does not have time for this kind of silliness' and has to move on.
His intervention came after the 'birther' debate about his origins and religion had moved from the political fringes to take centre stage.
His birth certificate shows he was born at the Kapiolani Maternity and Gynaecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Mr Obama has been dogged by persistent questions about his citizenship since the election more than two years ago. More than 60 per cent of Americans have told pollsters they are not convinced he was born in the U.S.
If true, this would make the politician constitutionally ineligible to occupy the White House.
Many senior Republicans have tried to distance themselves from the birther movement and some suspect it has been encouraged by the White House in order to discredit the opposition party.
One tenant of Ponahue said of the President: 'He was a great kid and obviously his grandparents did an amazing job of raising him. All we have are fond memories, his grandparents were wonderful people and Barry was a sweet and respectful child.
'Our little lobby tribute has become a must-see tourist destination. It shows a family-oriented Barack surround by love. Who knew that little Barry would become president of the United States?'
Setting record straight: Barack Obama and Michelle chat to Oprah Winfrey last night on a show that will air on May 2
It is looking more and more evident that the question of Obama’s eligibility may come down to his father’s citizenship, his adoption by a non-citizen. Lolo Soetoro and/or his dual citizenship: Barack Obama Running from Barry Soetoro… but there there are always those pesky newspaper and magazine ads from Kenya announcing Kenyan born Barack Hussein Obama Jr. was elected to the U.S. Senate, his Kenyan grandma’s statement that she was at his birth in Kenya and that Kenyan birth certificate that keeps surfacing… but don’t pay any attention to any of that??? There is nothing to see??? Or maybe there is?
“There are non so blind as he/they that will not see!!”
The character of any man is defined by how he treats his mother asthe years pass.... need I say more about this person below other thanthere is no character, no integrity but there is a ton of attitude and arrogance that defines his shallow past and hollow future .... I rest my case.
I bought and read The Audacity of Hope. It was difficult to read considering his attitude toward us and everything American. Let me add a phrase he use to describe his attitude toward whites. He harbors a "COIL OF RAGE". His words not mine…
THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT Is anyone out there awake?
Everyone of voting age should read these two books: Buy them orjust get them from the library.
From Dreams from My Father: "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
From Dreams from My Father : "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."
From Dreams from My Father: "There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white."
From Dreams from My Father: "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."
From Dreams from My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself:the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."
And FINALLY ........... and most scary:
From The Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
Then when you read The Roots of Obama's Rageand understand Obama’s anti-colonialist anti-west (England and America) leanings the fact that he is President of the United States is frightening!!
A Coil of Rage… Which Produced the Anti-American, Anti-Western, Anti-White Divisive President. Barack Hussein Obama Jr. is a man steeped in his father’s dreams and demons… obviously haunted by the fact that he was abandoned by his father and then later his mother, and in his own words is filled with a coil of rage!
Obama was the great hope of most Americans to finally put an end to America’s racial divide… creating a post-racial America, they thought. Instead, America has never, in my time, been so divided in every arena: race, religion, political philosophy, economic philosophy, social issues, age groups, gender issues, ethnic groups, education and even what it means to be an American or a patriot. And Obama’s past and presidency is riddled with division, shrouded in secrecy, and filled with unanswered questions and associations: Where are his documents from school records to his official birth certificate?; Was he born in the United States?; How far left is he?; Is he eligible to be President?; His religious background; What is the real background of O and his family and their connections; Endless Rumors of escapades that keep surfacing; as well as his connections to George Soros, Rev Wright, Farrakhan, Gadhafi to mane just a few… And why has Obama spent millions to avoid answering or clarifying the above questions and speculations.
When you take the time to read the books above, do some research and think about his own words, it becomes frightening!
Remember the saying, “Where there is smoke there is fire”? Well, where the smoke never clears, eventuallythere is an all consuming blaze…
If you have never shared political information, now is the time to do so!!! We have someone with this mentality running our GREAT nation! Keep your eye on him and don't blink.
I don't care whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Conservative or a liberal, your race or ethnicity, be aware of the attitude and character of this sitting President.
PLEASE help spread the word! Hate begets more hate… then moves to violence and eventually creates chaos for all, which is the goal of those who fundamentally want to change America and the world!!
‘Divide and Conquer’… the oldest ploy in the book!
Please watch all of the video clips below, and the story below that. Once you've done that, spread the word!
Redacted from a speech by Dinesh D'Souza, President King's College, NYC, NY and author of The Roots of Obama's Rage By Jerome S. Kaufman
On March 15, 2011, the Heritage Foundation sponsored a telecast featuring Dinesh D'Souza, President of King's College New York and author of the best selling book, Roots of Obama's Rage. After introducing himself, D'Souza got right into an in-depth analysis of current US President Barack Obama. Obama is the product of an unusual family history, far different from most Americans or people anywhere, for that matter. To say Obama is the product of his parentage and previous environment is a gross understatement.
D'Souza first described his own difficulty understanding Obama. Who did Obama represent, what were his ambitions, his goals, his mind set, etc.? D'Souza concluded that Obama was a different leader from previous Democrats - especially different from so-called liberals like Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton.
There are a host of theories trying to explain Obama. By the Right he has many different designations - a Progressive, a conventional Liberal, a Socialist, a Muslim, not born an American, an alien. But, all of these javelins bounce off Obama with no effect or just glancing blows. He continues to act in apparently mysterious ways - not easily explained. If he were truly a Socialist he would have tried to command the means of production. But, Obama did not nationalize banks but rather infused capital to them. Another inconsistency: Recently banks wanted to pay back their government loan and get off the hook with the Obama administration. But, Obama did not want to take their money. Rather he insisted that the bank undergo some sort of stress test before allowing them off the hook? Why?
There are claims that he is an environmentalist and simply acting out that role - banning vital oil drilling in America, limiting the production of coal, introducing and pouring billions into hair brain solutions like wind mills and sun energy which are far more expensive and will not supply anywhere near the energy required besides, requiring years to develop properly.
Others say he has been motivated by Al Gore's global warming theory. Gore asks for the use of less energy and a smaller carbon footprint to solve this debatable problem. However, Gore wants everyone in the world to cut back, not just the US. Obama does not care who conforms or not. Faster growing economies like China and India, far more responsible for future theoretical global warming, are ignored. Obama's thinking is thus, not that of a true environmentalist.
In addition, Obama is blocking oil drilling all over America and its coastline while, at the same time, encouraging oil drilling in Mexico. To add salt to our wounds, The US Export Import bank has given a two billion dollar loan guarantee to Brazil to do their own off shore drilling. But, the oil is not to go to us but to the Chinese!
Then, there is his inconsistent and apparently illogical approach to all our problems in the Middle East - one minute he is siding with the dictators of Egypt, Libya, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the next minute, making obligatory gestures of compassion to their long suffering populations. (Not to mention his dissing and enthusiastic participation in the dismantling of our only reliable ally in the Middle East, Israel jsk)
Other inane gestures: He somehow made the Muslims party to our space program praising them for their great contributions to its development - huh? He returned a bust of Winston Churchill given to us by the Brits that had been gratefully placed by us in the White House because of Churchill's crucial contribution to the defeat of Adolph Hitler in WWII.
D'Souza ended up concluding it was difficult accounting for all of Obama's apparent weirdness until D'Souza came to his own epiphany that Obama is not weird, foolish, inexperienced naive or any of the above. He knows exactly what he is doing and we had better stop misinterpreting and underestimating the man.
D'Sousa presented his conclusion combining these disparate facts in one impossible to refute hypothesis which negates all the previous theories we might have had. Obama is not Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or just another American Black shake down artist. Obama has not really been raised American. His early years were in Kenya and then Indonesia. He was first thrust into American culture by his mother when he was already 10-12 years old.
Then, D'Sousa read Obama's book, Dreams from my Father. D'Sousa discovered that indeed, Obama has nothing to do with Black America. He never sat at a segregated lunch counter nor was he descended from slaves. His Dad was an educated immigrant from Kenya and his Mom was white from Kansas. His is not an American dream. He has no understanding or sympathy for American exceptionalism. In fact, he resents the concept.
So, what is Obama's dream? He tells us very explicitly that his dream is his father's dream. Obama Sr. was raised in Kenya. In his 20`s, he married a Black woman in Kezia, had two children by her, and while she was pregnant with the second, he left his family and went to Hawaii as a student. He there met Obama's Mom - Stanley Ann, married her and before Obama Jr. was age two also left her. He then went to Harvard where he took up with a third woman, took her back to Africa and had two children by her. At the same time he reunited with his first wife, from Kezia, and had two more children with her. In total he had four wives, usually two at the same time, and 8 children and with no sense of obligation and nor did he supply care for any of them.
Obama Sr. was a chronic alcoholic who had multiple driving accidents. He kills a man in one, in another hurts himself so badly his two legs have to be cut off and replaced with iron rods. Nevertheless, his courtship style remains intact. He takes up with another woman who bears his eighth child, George Obama.
In summary - he was quite an unusual role model for President Obama! Later, Obama Jr's sister took him to task and demanded how could he admire this despicable man who had abandoned all his wives and children, never gave them a dime or even paid them a visit. Obama Jr., in fact, barely knew him since his Dad had visited him only once, when he was about 10 years old. Consequently, Sr. had no direct influence upon Jr.
That influence was wielded by Obama Sr.'s first convert - Jr's mother, Stanley Ann Obama. Obama's mother was an only child. She grew up in Kansas and somehow became a bohemian rebel against her parents and her country. Despite her marriage and rapid abandonment by Obama's father, she refused to learn from her experience. She finds and marries another third world, anti-American guy, Lolo Satora, He was Indonesian and grew up under the colonial Dutch. Satora wooed Stanley Ann Obama with stories of Indonesian colonialism, married her and took her and her son, Jr. to live in Indonesia.
By a quirk of fate and bad luck for the American people, the Indonesian husband becomes more pro Western, pro American, and anti Communist. He signs up with an oil company and fights against Indonesian rebels in his own countryside. Ann then attacks him as a traitor to the greater cause and quickly sends Jr. back to Kansas to be raised by her parents and escape the pro-American thinking of the Indonesian husband. She remains in Indonesia the rest of her life.
Obama's father, Obama Sr.. was basically an anti-Colonialist - the dominant idea in the third world of the 20th Century. The simple core of this idea was that the world is divided into two - the colonizers or oppressors and the colonized or victims. The colonizers used to be Europe, Britain, France and now it is America in this line of thought. Furthermore, the rich got rich only by looting the colonized and even when they left, powerful economic forces remained in a position of exploitation. Banks, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, oil companies and anyone else that happens to make money are simply now the economic wing of colonialism still into exploitation. And, who to Barack Obama, Jr. is the lead elephant and current exploiter? Why we are, of course. How is Obama to deal with us, the problem? First, bring us under the rod of the Federal government. Obama's father in 1965 wrote an article in an East African journal saying how this should be done. Bring down all the rich guys by the power of the state, confiscate their land, property, raise taxes as high as you want - 100% if necessary, and obtain their wealth through fiat and legislative piracy. The rationale is that the wealth is not rightfully theirs, in the first place, but had been ripped off from the poor.
That is Dinesh D'Souza's basic hypothesis. So, Obama far from being a multi-culture guy, far from being the first African American president, is actually the first anti-American, anti-colonialism president and driven by that mind-set!
Obama, like the naive would like to believe, is no buffoon, not inexperienced, not unworldly, not apolitical and not a mediocrity. He is a very clever but misdirected guy and out to do us all in. He is the most effective Democratic President since Lyndon Johnson. He has gotten more programs passed in the shortest time, by Democrat or Republican, since Reagan.
If he is to be voted out of office in 2012, Republicans will have to take the full measure of the man. They need a strong guy, perhaps a father figure, a person that appeals to the American public. It will be a very difficult election made more so by mindless, irresponsible media genuflections and the Obama useful idiots that may never see the awful danger that this man represents.
Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial Africa.
Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism. I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who serve foreign ideas.
The tropes of America's racial history as a way of understanding all things black are useless in understanding the man who got his dreams from his father, a Kenyan exemplar of the African Colonial.
Before I continue, I need to say this: I am a first generation born West African-American woman whose parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1970's from the country now called Nigeria. I travel to Nigeria frequently. I see myself as both a proud American and as a proud Igbo (the tribe that we come from -- also sometimes spelled Ibo). Politically, I have always been conservative (though it took this past election for me to commit to this once and for all!); my conservative values come from my Igbo heritage and my place of birth. Of course, none of this qualifies me to say what I am about to -- but at the same time it does.
My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African Colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you learn about on the National Geographic Channel. Many conservative (East, West, South, North) African-Americans like myself -- those of us who know our history -- have seen this movie before. Here are two main reasons why many Americans allowed Obama to slip through the cracks despite all of his glaring inconsistencies:
First, Obama has been living on American soil for most of his adult life. Therefore, he has been able to masquerade as one who understands and believes in American democratic ideals. But he does not. Barack Obama is intrinsically undemocratic and as his presidency plays out, this will become more obvious. Second, and most importantly, too many Americans know very little about Africa. The one-size-fits-all understanding that many Americans (both black and white) continue to have of Africa might end up bringing dire consequences for this country.
Contrary to the way it continues to be portrayed in mainstream Western culture, Africa is not a continent that can be solely defined by AIDS, ethnic rivalries, poverty and safaris. Africa, like any other continent, has an immense history defined by much diversity and complexity. Africa's long-standing relationship with Europe speaks especially to some of these complexities -- particularly the relationship that has existed between the two continents over the past two centuries. Europe's complete colonization of Africa during the nineteenth century, also known as the Scramble for Africa, produced many unfortunate consequences, the African colonial being one of them.
The African colonial (AC) is a person who by means of their birth or lineage has a direct connection with Africa. However, unlike Africans like me, their worldviews have been largely shaped not by the indigenous beliefs of a specific African tribe but by the ideals of the European imperialism that overwhelmed and dominated Africa during the colonial period. AC's have no real regard for their specific African traditions or histories. AC's use aspects of their African culture as one would use pieces of costume jewelry: things of little or no value that can be thoughtlessly discarded when they become a negative distraction, or used on a whim to decorate oneself in order to seem exotic. (Hint: Obama's Muslim heritage).
On the other hand, AC's strive to be the best at the culture that they inherited from Europe. Throughout the West, they are tops in their professions as lawyers, doctors, engineers, Ivy League professors and business moguls; this is all well and good. It's when they decide to engage us as politicians that things become messy and convoluted.
The African colonial politician (ACP) feigns repulsion towards the hegemonic paradigms of Western civilization. But at the same time, he is completely enamored of the trappings of its aristocracy or elite culture. The ACP blames and caricatures whitey to no end for all that has gone wrong in the world. He convinces the masses that various forms of African socialism are the best way for redressing the problems that European colonialism motivated in Africa. However, as opposed to really being a hard-core African Leftist who actually believes in something, the ACP uses socialist themes as a way to disguise his true ambitions: a complete power grab whereby the "will of the people" becomes completely irrelevant.
Barack Obama is all of the above. The only difference is that he is here playing (colonial) African politics as usual.
In his 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father -- an eloquent piece of political propaganda -- Obama styles himself as a misunderstood intellectual who is deeply affected by the sufferings of black people, especially in America and Africa. In the book, Obama clearly sees himself as an African, not as a black American. And to prove this, he goes on a quest to understand his Kenyan roots. He is extremely thoughtful of his deceased father's legacy; this provides the main clue for understanding Barack Obama.
Barack Obama Sr. was an African colonial to the core; in his case, the apple did not fall far from the tree. All of the telltale signs of Obama's African colonialist attitudes are on full display in the book -- from his feigned antipathy towards Europeans to his view of African tribal associations as distracting elements that get in the way of "progress". (On p. 308 of Dreams From My Father, Obama says that African tribes should be viewed as an "ancient loyalties".)
Like imperialists of Old World Europe, the ACP sees their constituents not as free thinking individuals who best know how to go about achieving and creating their own means for success. Instead, the ACP sees his constituents as a flock of ignorant sheep that need to be led -- oftentimes to their own slaughter.
Like the European imperialist who spawned him, the ACP is a destroyer of all forms of democracy.
Here are a few examples of what the British did in order to create (in 1914) what is now called Nigeria and what Obama is doing to you:
Convince the people that "clinging" to any aspect of their cultural (tribal) identity or history is bad and regresses the process of "unity". British Imperialists deeply feared people who were loyal to anything other than the state. "Tribalism" made the imperialists have to work harder to get people to just fall in line. Imperialists pitted tribes against each other in order to createchaos that they then blamed on ethnic rivalry. Today many "educated" Nigerians, having believed that their traditions were irrelevant, remain completely ignorant of their ancestry and the history of their own tribes.
Confiscate the wealth and resources of the area that you govern by any means necessary in order to redistribute wealth. The British used this tactic to present themselves as empathetic and benevolent leaders who wanted everyone to have a "fair shake". Imperialists are not interested in equality for all. They are interested in controlling all.
Convince the masses that your upper-crust university education naturally puts you on an intellectual plane from which to understand everything even when you understand nothing.Imperialists were able to convince the people that their elite university educations allowed them to understand what Africa needed. Many of today's Nigerians-having followed that lead-hold all sorts of degrees and certificates-but what good are they if you can't find a job?
Lie to the people and tell them that progress is being made even though things are clearly becoming worse. One thing that the British forgot to mention to their Nigerian constituents was that one day, the resources that were being used to engineer "progress" (which the British had confiscated from the Africans to begin with!) would eventually run out. After WWII, Western Europe could no longer afford to hold on to their African colonies. So all of the counterfeit countries that the Europeans created were then left high-and-dry to fend for themselves. This was the main reason behind the African independence movements of the1950 and 60's. What will a post-Obama America look like?
Use every available media outlet to perpetuate the belief that you and your followers are the enlightened ones-and that those who refuse to support you are just barbaric, uncivilized, ignorant curmudgeons. This speaks for itself.
America, don't be fooled. The Igbos were once made up of a confederacy of clans that ascribed to various forms of democratic government. They took their eyes off the ball and before they knew it, the British were upon them. Also, understand this: the African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing: a despot.
Obama Worshiper Chris Matthews: Obama Should Release Birth Certificate
(Remember… Chris Matthews is the guy who said he gets a tingle up his leg whenever he hears Obama speak… and even he wonders why Obama won’t produce his documents?!?)
By Jim Meyers
Even MSNBC’s pro-Obama host Chris Matthews has joined the crowd calling on the president to release his long-form birth certificate to settle the controversy surrounding his birthplace once and for all, saying “if it exists, why not put it out?”
Matthews has been critical of the so-called “birthers” who insist that Obama was not born in the United States and therefore is ineligible to be president. Some say he was actually born in Kenya, his father’s home country.
The majority of Americans discount that conspiracy theory. Hawaii state officials insist he was born on the tropical isles, and a legal ad taken out in a local newspaper announcing Obama’s birth days after he was born supports that claim.
Still, many find it interesting that Obama has continued to refuse to release his long-form birth certificate, and Obama joins just a handful of presidents who have no declared place of birth as a significant national landmark.
Instead, during the 2008 campaign, Obama’s aides issued a “certification of live birth,” a summary document that does not include the name of the hospital where he was born or the physician who delivered him, information that would be included on the long-form birth certificate.
Newly elected Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat, re-ignited the ‘birther controversy’ when he said he would ask the state attorney general’s office and health officials how he can make public more of Obama’s birth documentation from Aug. 4, 1961.
Obama easily could release the document himself or ask state officials to do so.
During Matthews’ “Hardball” program on Monday night, the MSNBC hosted cited a New York Times poll from April that found that only 58 percent of respondents believe Obama was born in the United States, while 20 percent believe he was not, and 23 percent are unsure.
“I am not a birther,” Matthews declared. “I am an enemy of the birthers.”
But he held up the long-form birth certificate of someone who was born the day before Obama, and compared it with the shorter version Obama has released, which to the birthers, he said, “is evidence that he really ain’t one of us.
“Why has the president himself not demanded that they put out the official document?” Matthews said.
“Why doesn’t the governor just say, snap it up, whoever’s there at the department of records, send me a copy right now? Why doesn’t the president just say, send me a copy right now? Why doesn’t [White House press secretary Robert] Gibbs and [senior adviser David] Axelrod say, let’s just get this crappy story dead? Why not do it?
“The department out there just said the other day that there is such a thing. It exists. The original document of his birth is available. They have it in storage, they said. And if it exists, why not put it out?
“Will there be any harm done by releasing the original document?”
After a discussion with panelists Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune and David Corn of Mother Jones, Matthews concluded: “I’m sure we’ve gotten to the bottom of this as much as mortal men can.”
But Obama’s critics — many of whom don’t buy in the birther theory he was born outside the United States — still note a pattern of secrecy surrounding much of Obama’s life before he entered politics. They note that many Obama never has unveiled many key documents that presidential candidates released to the press and public.
For example:
During the presidential campaign, Obama released just one brief document detailing his personal health, while GOP opponent John McCain released what he said was his complete medical file totaling more than 1,500 pages. The Obama campaign eventually released some routine lab-test results and electrocardiograms for Obama.
Obama refused to offer his official papers as a state legislator in Illinois and did not produce correspondence, such as letters from lobbyists and other information, from his days in the Illinois State Senate.
Obama did not release his client list as an attorney or his billing records.
Obama declined to release his college records from Occidental College, where he studied for two years before transferring to Columbia University.
Obama’s campaign refused to give Columbia University, where he earned an undergraduate degree in political science, permission to release his transcripts. Such transcripts would list the courses Obama took, and his grades.
Obama’s college dissertation, reportedly titled “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament,” has disappeared from Columbia’s archives.
Obama did not agree to the release of his application to the Illinois state bar, which would clear up intermittent allegations that his application to the bar may have been inaccurate.
Obama has not released records from his time at Harvard Law School.
During his campaign for president, Obama promised he would make his White House “the most open and transparent administration in history.”
And isn’t that the whole question? Why does that guy who promised to be the most transparent President ever when he was a candidate refuse to produce the long and official form of his birth certificate plus all the rest of the documents above… if he is honest, really a qualified citizen to be president and has nothing to hide?

With friends like 72 year old Democratic Governor elect of Hawaii, undocumented B. Hussein Obama doesn't need enemies.
Abercrombie has now vowed to change Hawaii law, from what that Obamite Gov. Linda Lingle just signed into law protecting undocumented Obama. Yes Dick, is going to release Obama's documents one way or the other to deal with the "demon infested hordes" called the Birthers, in Dick's analogy.
There is a quote from Dick which makes me wonder how senile this Obama friend is:
Mr. Abercrombie said that while he did not see the Obamas at the hospital with their newborn son, he does remember the couple bringing baby Barack to social events. He said those who suggest Mr. Obama’s mother somehow slipped off to Kenya to give birth to him are engaging in a “demonological fantasy.”
(Google does not show "demonological" as a word. Another Obama miracle of creation.)
This sort of interests this blog as Dick Abercrombie is now on record stating that he had witnessed the Obama's and child at least twice at some social events in Hawaii.
Now this is most interesting as in 1961 most women did not take their little bundles of joy out into the world for weeks. The problem with that is Stanley Ann Duham Obama's girlfriend in Washington states that Stanley Ann was in that state around the time those Obamite reporters were reporting birth notices were being published in Hawaiian newspapers.
The real problem for Dick's perjerous testimony is Stanley Ann Dunham is recorded to have been attending college classes on the mainland in the fall of 1961.
Translation is Barry Obama was born in August. Fall semester classes start in September. That leaves a very small window for Dick to have been socializing with baby Obama, because testimony is on record stating Stanley Ann was in Washington state shortly after the recorded birth date in August.
So either Democrat Dick Abercrombie is committing perjury or he is senile. His timeline just does not match the facts laid out which we do know is at least as real as other people's memories who would have no political reason to lie.
I look forward to Dick releasing the Obama papers. I look forward to the Indonesian adoption records by Lolo Soetoro. I look forward to the Pan Am airlines travel records for Stanley Ann and Barry Soetoro. I look forward to the passport documentation concerning Hawaii, which will all prove what this Birther has focused on from the start in Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro is a British subject under the British Nationality Act of 1948, is an adopted Indonesian.
Mr. Obama admitted that he was British and therefore no matter how furious Dick gets at Birthers, the reality is, B. Hussein is tri part citizen of 3 nations, (Britain, Kenya and the United States) which makes him unable to serve as President of America, although he could still be President of Kenya or Prime Minister of England.
So Dick, get on the stick and release them papers, as it will either prove you liar or it will prove what Birthers have stated all along in undocumented Obama is not qualified to be President as a tri part citizen, and as an illegal alien in America.
Oh and Dick..............
I bet the Obama White House is going to be phoning you with a bribe from Val-erie Jarrett like she did Nancy Pelosi in that bribe to shut her up...........
Don't take the cash Dick. Hold out for Chinese jade or gold, as Obama has destroyed the Dollar.
This should be rich in Eric Holder suing the state of Hawaii like he is Arizona to protect illegal alien Obama from being discovered, and suing Democratic Governor Dick Abercrombie.
thecommunists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.
Then they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.
Then they came for the trade unionists, I did not protest; I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, I did not protest; I was a Protestant.
Then they came for the Jews, I did not speak out; I was not a Jew.
When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

"...there comes a time, ladies and gentlemen, when ideology can cause death. I am so tired, so tired, of zealots, primarily on the left, putting their insane personal agendas above the safety of fellow Americans. Do you think the brave soldiers and Marines operating in dangerous areas right now want [unreleased photos of alleged abuse of prisoners] all over al-Jazeera and the terror websites? So let's look out for the military, OK? Nancy Pelosi has an obligation to get the loons in her party under control. If the Speaker can't do that, she doesn't deserve her position." ... Bill O'Reilly
