BORN IN THE USA… Or Maybe Not???

Hawaii paper turns down ad probing Obama's birth - Star-Bulletin publisher rejects full-page, full-rate display 'because it is political'

WASHINGTON – In the latest effort to obtain information that could settle the controversy over Barack Obama's eligibility for office as a "natural born citizen," WND Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah attempted to buy a full-page ad in a Honolulu daily newspaper soliciting assistance in finding documentary evidence of his birth in the city Aug. 4, 1961, as he claims in his autobiography.

Despite offering the full rate of $7,168.50 plus taxes for a full-page, color ad on page 2 of the news section of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin next Monday, the copy was rejected – the latest turndown by a growing list of media companies that won't touch the birth certificate issue even for money.

"I spoke to my publisher and unfortunately we cannot accept the ad because it is political," explained Cyd Kamakea, classified advertising manager.

The ad copy was headlined: "Help Wanted: Information leading to the truth about Barack Obama's birth."

The entire contents of the ad is reprinted below:

WorldNetDaily seeks information, both material and anecdotal, which will reveal the entire truth regarding the circumstances of the birth of President Barack Hussein Obama.

1. We seek the original Hawaiian "vault record of birth" for Obama, if one exists;

2. We seek the certificate number of the original "vault record of birth" for Obama, if one exists;

3. We seek original or certified copies of older vault indexes, for the year 1961, where the name Obama may or may not appear on the vault list or records index;

4. We seek evidence and testimony from anyone who may have witnessed Obama's birth – in Hawaii or elsewhere;

5. We seek Hawaiian hospital records and testimony from attending doctors, nurses and others who may have actual knowledge and evidence regarding Obama, which will either prove or disprove a Hawaiian birth;

6. We seek to know if the Hawaiian state records show a Kenyan or other foreign record of birth for Obama and was perhaps reregistered in Hawaii, which was previously legal in Hawaii for limited purposes in 1961;

7. We especially seek the testimony of genealogists, archivists, records clerks, investigators, and others who may have unique knowledge of the original Obama birth records from 1961;

8. We seek unimpeachable physical evidence and testimony, and you will be asked to submit to interviews and a polygraph test. Your identity will not be revealed to the press without your permission;

9. We will negotiate a fair reward for your information, evidence and testimony.

"As a former newspaper top executive myself, it is simply astonishing to me how cowardly and closed-minded my former industry has become," said Farah. "Not only will none of these so-called news organizations cover a matter of the utmost public interest, but they will not even allow someone to advertise for help in an independent investigation. The once-great watchdog American press has indeed become the pathetic lapdog American press – subservient to the whims and wishes of those in power."

Farah has waged a fierce campaign to raise the visibility of the eligibility issue since late last year – when it was all but fading from the nation's view.

He began by launching an ongoing petition campaign, that has now gathered nearly 400,000 electronic "signatures" and which, at various times was used to persuade members of the electoral college of the controversy and later handed to the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court John Roberts.

More recently, Farah initiated a nationwide billboard campaign employing the slogan, "Where's the birth certificate?" That campaign has raised nearly $100,000 in the last two months and resulted in the purchase of about a half-dozen billboards so far around the country.

While there are still hundreds of thousands of billboards across America available for expansion of this campaign, three of the largest media companies refused to accept the ads.

In addition, Farah has made available to the general public magnetized bumper stickers for display on automobiles and other metallic surfaces, as well as yard signs and tea party rally signs that mimic the billboard campaign.

More recently, Farah issued a $10,000 challenge for anyone who can provide evidence of being present at the birth of Barack Obama and has called on others to donate to the cause to make it "irresistible" to those who were present – wherever that birth took place just 48 years ago.

"The reason we are resorting to what may strike some as unorthodox efforts for a news agency is because we have been stymied in our ability to get answers from Barack Obama," said Farah. "Obama, who has pledged to run the most open and transparent administration in history has, in fact, slammed the door shut on matters pertaining to his own constitutional eligibility. I don't believe that attitude will change until the American people force it to change. Barack Obama could make this issue go away today by releasing his long-form birth certificate – the one that is signed by an attending physician or other official and names the hospital in which the birth took place."

Farah, a lifelong journalist who directed the newsrooms of major-metropolitan dailies before founding WND, said he is repulsed by the way the rest of the news media, not to mention the opposition party in Washington, have accepted at face value Obama's unsubstantiated and undocumented claims to being a "natural born citizen."

"There is simply no evidence to prove Obama is constitutionally eligible to serve," said Farah. "It is so disturbing that Americans would just give him a pass on the simple constitutional test. In six months in office, he has more than demonstrated complete contempt for the constitutional limits on federal power. It's no wonder. He got away with becoming president without satisfying the explicit and simple demands of constitutional eligibility. What should we expect him to do in office? Should we expect him suddenly to start applying a constitutional test to policy?"

Despite the almost complete lack of reporting on the issue by the press, a scientific survey of the American public conducted by WND this month showed more than 49 percent believe Obama should release his birth certificate and other documents, such as college records, or said they were "troubled" by his refusal to do so.

Barrack Obama's Questionable Birth Certificate... Is He Really Visiting His Sick Granny or Taking A Few Days to Produce Another Altered Document??

(Rush was musing about the same thing this morning)

RUSH: "Barack Obama says he doesn't want to make the same mistake with his grandmother that he made with his dying mother," so today he's jetting off to Hawaii to make sure that doesn't happen.  He was on The Early Show this morning with Harry Smith, and Smith said, "Lincoln said, 'All I ever hoped to be, I owe to her,' in speaking about his mother.  Your grandmother, very much like a mother to you, how important is this trip?"

OBAMA:  It's very important to me.  My grandmother is the last one left, uh, she has really been the rock of the family and the foundation of the family, uh, whatever strength, discipline, uh, that I have, uh, it comes from her.

SMITH:  You said in the past that you regretted your own mother's illness and her death came so quickly, you didn't have time to get back to --

RUSH:  Stop the tape here a minute.  Stop, recue this.  Harry Smith is doing everything here but crying, everything but crying here.  This is an embarrassment.  You people in the media, you don't even care how embarrassing this is, you do not even care.  Here it is again from the top.

OBAMA:  It's very important to me.  My grandmother's the last one left, uh --

RUSH:  Right.

OBAMA:  She has really been the rock of the family.

RUSH:  I know.

OBAMA:  And the foundation of the family, uh--

RUSH:  Absolutely right.

OBAMA:  Whatever the strength, discipline, uh --

RUSH:  Hawaii all these years.

OBAMA:  -- that I have, uh, it comes from her.

SMITH:  You've said in the past that you regretted your own mother's illness and her death came so quickly, you didn't have time to get back to see her.

OBAMA:  Got there too late.  We knew she wasn't doing well, um, but the diagnosis was such where we thought we had a little more time and we didn't, so I want to make sure that I don't, uh, I don't make, uh, the same mistake twice.

RUSH:  Now, Harry Smith is very, very worried, ladies and gentlemen, that this could hurt Obama's campaign.

SMITH:  Some people say there's risk involved in this, with so little time left.

OBAMA:  Yeah.  Well, the, uh, I think most people understand, uh, that if you're not, um, caring for your family, uh, then you're probably not, uh, the kind of person who's going to be caring for other people.

RUSH:  Yeah, right.  Okay.  Now, I have some questions here, ladies and gentlemen.  If Obama has this election in the bag, if he has this election in the bag, which they're all saying, I mean, he's building the stage. They're already putting together this massive little stage out there in Grant Park in Chicago.  They're making all these postelection plans. They're working on the transition team.  If it's in the bag, Obama, please, stop spending money on TV and radio spots.  Stop raising more money.  You already have tons of it.  Stop campaigning all over the country.  You're

 wasting fuel.  You're emitting carbon dioxide along the way.  If it's over, then behave like it's over.  By the way, I'd like to be a little bit more inquisitive than the average reporter out there and observe that we've been hearing and reading for at least three days now that Obama's grandmother is deathly ill and that he's going to rush to her side in Hawaii.  

Now, if he's already won the presidency, why hasn't he already gone to Hawaii?  Why is he not already there?  What's he waiting for?  "If she's deathly ill," I'm pretending to be a reporter here.  You know they'd ask McCain these questions.  "If Obama's grandmother is deathly ill, why has this been announced days ago and he's only going now," or tomorrow, or whenever it is.  Now, I understand, folks, Snerdley's got his head buried in his hands.  I understand this, my friends, anything said about Obama is going to be turned into an unfair racist attack on the man.  Am I not asking obvious questions?  Who announces days in advance they're rushing to the side of a loved one who is deathly ill but keeps campaigning in a race that's said to be over, only to go to the loved one's side days later?  See, I think this is about something else.  You know what's

 really percolating out there?  I've been layin

g low on this because it hasn't met the threshold to  pass the smell test on this program.  

This birth certificate business, this lawsuit that a guy named Philip Berg filed in Philadelphia in August for Obama to produce his genuine birth certificate and he still hasn't replied.  You've got a deathly ill grandmother, you are going to rush to her side a few days from now, when you first announced this, you're going to rush, you're going to hurry, you're going to make tracks, you're going to get over there because you don't want your grandmother to die before you got there like your mother did, but somehow you keep campaigning, you take three days to get over there, if he's left yet, and this birth certificate business, I'm just wondering if something's up.  I have no

 clue, and folks, I'm telling you, this has not reached the threshold until now, and it's popping up

 all over the place.  There are a lot of people now that are starting to speculate and be curious about this.  

I don't know, let's say for example that somebody does come up with proof that something's screwy with his birth certificate and something's screwy about the fact that he's allegedly a natural citizen, American citizen, but may not be, dual citizenship, born in Kenya, who knows, there's all kinds of stuff out -- so what?  What's going to happen this late in the campaign?  Do you think if it's proven that they're going to dump him?  That's not going to happen.  But still, these are just questions that I have.  And, look, both of my parents have died. When I was told the end was near, bam, I got there, fast as I could.  I didn't announce to the audience, "I just got word my father is said to be passing away and in four or five days I'm going to go to Missouri.

  In the meantime, I will not leave you here on this radio program."  These are just natural

 questions.  I think any inquisitive reporter -- I know the risk I'm running here by raising all this.  But I wouldn't be me if I didn't do that.  

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I want to go back to this one sound bite from Obama, second question from Harry Smith this morning on the CBS Early Show.

SMITH:  Some people say there's risk involved in this, with so little time left.

OBAMA:  Yeah.  Well, the, uh, I think most people understand, uh, that if you're not, um, caring for your family, uh, then you're probably not, uh, the kind of person who's going to be caring for other people.

RUSH:  Okay.  "If you're not caring for your family..."  How about George Onyango Bodongo Hussein Obama in the hut outside Nairobi living on a dollar a month?  A $20 bill would double his half-brother's annual income.  Not even a sign "Home, Sweet Hut" has been sent to George Onyango Bodongo Hussein Obama, and how many other of Obama's family members are living in squalor?  Yeah, "if you don't take care of your family, if you don't put that first, you're probably not the kind of person that's going to be caring for other people."  You have a half-

brother living in a hut!

George Obama – Obama’s Brother

George Obama Scandal

Below is a photo of the Certification of Live Birth produced by the Obama campaign in 2007 when the issue of Barrack's birth and qualification to run for president first arose plus a vault copy from the State of Hawaii from that era.

However, the 2007 document produced by the Obama campaign omits key information that normally appears on birth certificates in the United States, including the name of the hospital where he was born, the size and weight of the baby, and sometimes the name of the doctor who delivered him.

In addition, the critics of the 2007 document note that Obama's father is described as “African,” a term used today. The formal language in official documents at the time — 1961 — would have identified his race as “Negro” or “Colored.”

Also if you notice at the bottom this form, it was revised in November 2001 and issued in 2007, so there is a lot of room for question and changes.

   

For a better look: [See the Certification of Live Birth — Click Here.]

The Constitution provides that any U.S. citizen is eligible to become president if the person is 35 years of age or older and is a natural-born citizen; that is, born in the territorial United States. (which includes military bases, embassies, and a few other such exceptions that are considered 'American soil'.

By failing to respond to the Request for Admissions and Request for the Production of Documents within 30 days, Obama has “admitted” that he was born in Kenya, Berg stated this week in new court filings.

By not filing the answers or objections, the defense has admitted everything. [Obama] admits he was born in Kenya. He admits he was adopted in Indonesia. He admits that the documentation posted online is a phony. And he admits that he is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president of the United States.”

Obama knows the law and this was too important just to forget!!

The lawsuit, filed by former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General Philip J. Berg — a self-avowed supporter of Hillary Clinton — alleges that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and is thus “ineligible” to run for president of the United States. It demands that Obama’s lawyers produce a copy of his original birth certificate to prove that he is a natural-born U.S. citizen.

The Web site snarkybytes.com has produced a ‘vault copy’ of a Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth from 1963, issued by the Hawaii Department of Health.  In addition to naming the hospital and more details about the baby, the supposed 1963 vault copy also includes the “usual residence of the mother,” and the “usual occupation” of the father. As you can see none of this information appears on the 2007 Live Birth certificate produced by the Obama campaign???  There is definitely something wrong here!!

 

And then we get to the point that Obama's Kenyan grandmother said she was present at the birth in Kenya.

According to FactCheck.org...

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu (or maybe not), Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

This sounds to me like Obama either held dual British Citizenship or Kenyan Citizenship and U.S. Citizenship, but if he was born on Africa, he is unqualified to be president of the United States... and he knows it.

And now there is supposedly also another birth certificate floating around that states that Obama's father was only 15% African and 85% an Arab-Muslim, which again substantiates that Barack was at least a Muslim by birth, and we know that he attended Muslim schools.

One thing I've learned in my life is... when there are this many questions and irregularities... there is a problem.  As the saying goes, "Where there is smoke there is fire."

Perhaps there is more to this trip to Hawaii to see his ailing grandmother??  If he comes up with a newly altered birth certificate when he returns... I'd say there is a problem!?!?!

In addition to Pennsylvania, the latest lawsuits have been filed in state and federal courts in Hawaii, Washington, California, Florida, Georgia, New York, and Connecticut to compel Obama to release his birth records.

Ironically, Obama mentions his birth certificate in passing on Page 26 of his 1995 memoir, “Dreams of My Father.” “I discovered this article, folded away among my birth certificate and old vaccination forms, when I was in high school,” he wrote.

Lawyers for Obama and the DNC did not return calls for comment on the current status of the case, or explain why the Obama campaign did not simply put to rest the whole controversy by releasing the birth certificate that 'Obama apparently cherished as a teenager'.  Perhaps it is because it shows that he was born in Africa?
