W.H.: ‘Birthers’ aren’t ‘rational’

January 25, 2011

Robert Gibbs

Here’s what you need to know from Monday’s White House briefing with press secretary Robert Gibbs:

– Gibbs hinted that President Obama will talk about gun rights in his State of the Union address. “I don’t doubt that, as a result of the impact – or the issues of what happened in Tucson, that there will be a number of proposals that this White House and the Congress will evaluate, and we’ll wait until tomorrow to see what’s in the State of the Union,” he said.

– Gibbs snuck a jab at the so-called birthers who don’t believe Obama was born in Hawaii. “I think rational people have — have long ago, many when they first heard and saw the president, come to the conclusion of his citizenship,” he said.

“…many when they first heard and saw the president, come to the conclusion of his citizenship”. What does that mean? Even this idiotic comment raises an eyebrow. Our problem was with the Republicans who did not demand Obama show his birth certificate BEFORE he was sworn into office…The Democrats demanded and received McCain’s proof of citizenship!

The longer this controversy goes on, the more it looks like there is something to hide. If they want it to be ended just produce the proof. He’s the first president that has refused to do so.

The truth tends to settle things… but lies tend to recycle the issues that they don’t seem to answer or answer with questions.

Example:  Someone just sent me this today with the following explanation:

[§338-17.8] Certificates for children born out of State. (a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.

(b) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate. The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.

(c) The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]

And remember the promise of the Governor of Hawaii… to settle this issue?  So why hasn’t he been able to do that?  Because if privacy laws??  Really?  Well if there is nothing to hide, all Obama has to do is give his permission to release it. 

There comes a time when common sense and that feeling in you gut has to start taking over!
