  ahem.

   

  Dear sirs and gentlewomen.

  Submitted for your approval, it has come to my attention that there is a grave crises in your world… ur… I mean our world.  It seems that not enough of… of us have acknowledged the fundamental undeniable truth that Barack Obama is a secret muslim born in Kenya.

  According to recent polling only 11% of you have acknowledged the truth, and only 16% more are even considering the possibility. I do not understand why you have not yet accepted it as truth!!!!!! Are you all a bunch of blognsotchs!!!!! 

  No matter, I will now try to allay any doubts you may have remaining. Heed me.

  Many of your great and wise leaders have acknowledged this claim and expressed it publicly.

  Donald Trump:

   

  Charlie Sheen:

  Talking about a possible presidential run — Sheen defeated Obama amongst GOP voters in the same polls as his victories of Palin — he mused about the idea and then hit the birther sweet spot.

  “For starters, I was f**king born here, how about that? And I got proof! Nothing photoshopped about my birth certificate,” Sheen said

  Sarah Palin:

   

  These are your leaders. It is known that they are genetically designed to be perfectly suited to persuade you of all things. They are perfectly suited to be your next overlords. Since they say that this is true you must believe. Believe them. Now. That is all.

  shzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  It has come to my argup— *cough*  attention that many you do not yet believe. You have been foolishly convinced by such arguments as the follows:

  • Presidents are not required to produce their birth certificate, long form or otherwise. No other President has been subjected to such an inquiry, so why President Obama?
  • There has never been a single credible piece of affirmative evidence suggesting that Barack Obama was born anywhere other than where he said he was.
  • Barack Obama released his Birth Certificate in July of 2008 to numerous press organizations AND posted a scanned copy of it online. You can view the copy they scanned here.
  • The Birth Certificate Obama released is the exact same type you would get if you lived in Hawaii and requested your birth certificate. It is sufficient for purposes of getting a passport, a license, or any other purpose you might need a birth certificate for. It fully meets the State Department’s requirements for a birth certificate.
  • The birth certificate Obama produced is both signed and has a serial number and a seal contrary to conspiracy theorests claims. Factcheck.org released high resolution scans after having been provided the certificate here. Other news organizations have confirmed and photographed the certificate such as NBC in this news story here.
  • While the Birth Certificate the President produced was indeed labeled “Certification of Live Birth” that is not unusual. Hospitals do indeed sometimes create a long form or original birth certificate that contains additional information such as birth weight or parents home town, but it is not what is kept by the State or issued to citizens for the purpose of proving citizenship. Hawaii’s laws prevent the issuing of copies of these “long form birth certificates”. The Certification of Live Birth is for all legal purposes a person’s birth certificate.
  • The federal Health Information Privacy Act of 1999 — a law passed to protect medical records from public scrutiny — prevents hospitals from confirming births directly
  • On July 28, 2009, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health certified that she had personally seen Barack Obama’s ORIGINAL birth certificate and made a statement to US Today. Specifally she said: “I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen.” Pretty hard to refute.
  • Hawaii’s Republican Governor from 2002-2010 Linda Lingle has adamantly disputed birther claims saying “…I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health.” Lingle added, ” … The president was in fact born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact.” link
  • Hawaii’s current Democratic Governor Neil Abercrombie stated that their investigation showed that OBama’s birth certificate was written in their archives
  • Two separate newspapers the Honolulu Adviser and the Honolulu Star Bulletin both printed birth announcements for Obama on August 13 and August 14, 1961 respectively. The information in the announcements they state that they got directly from the Hospitals and the announcements match including the address they list for Obama’s parents which in turn match State records. The Honolulu Adviser in response to the controversy went to their microfilmed archives, dug up the announcement and posted a copy online.
  • Politifact ranks Trump’s claim that nobody who went to school with Obama knew him as Pants on Fire false and cites evidence of over a dozen students and teachers who knew him during elementary school and many many more who knew him during later educational experiences.
  • “Joshua Wisch, a spokesman for the Hawaii attorney general’s office, noted that a public index of vital records, available for inspection in a bound volume at the Health Department’s Office of Health Status Monitoring, lists a male child named “Obama II, Barack Hussein” as having been born in the state.”  “Wisch, the spokesman for the attorney general’s office, said state law does not in fact permit the release of “vital records,” including an original “record of live birth” — even to the individual whose birth it records. “It’s a Department of Health record and it can’t be released to anybody,” he said. Nor do state laws have any provision that authorizes such records to be photocopied, Wisch said. If Obama wanted to personally visit the state health department, he would be permitted to inspect his birth record. But if he or anybody else wanted a copy of their birth records, they would be told to fill out the appropriate state form and receive back the same computer generated “certification of live birth” form that everybody else gets — which is exactly what Obama did four years ago. ” link
  • Claims that Obama spent $2 million hiding his birth certificate are false. They use the total number for all the President’s legal fees and conflate it with those used regarding birtherism
  • None of 17 law suits filed by December of 2008 (which might explain some of those legal fees) have resulted in any relief for plantiffs.
  • The argument that Obama’s paternal step-grandmother said he was born in Kenya is misleading. The full transcript and audio of the encounter with her reveals she repeatedly stated that Obama was born in Hawaii even after being badgered relentlessly to get her to say otherwise. The video was then cut off to make it seem like she said otherwise when in reality she was not understanding the question from the translator the first time it was asked.
  • The Kenyan Birth-Certificate release was a lie and a forgery. It shows The Republic of Kenya which didn’t exist at the time and a blogger admitted to creating the forgery based off an Australian birth certificate.
  • The argument that anyone can get a Short Form Birth Certificate from the State of Hawaii even if you were not born in Hawaii is misleading. While it’s true that anyone can do that, NOT anyone could get one that lists one’s place of birth as Hawaii. You actually have to be born in Hawaii to get a short form birth certificate that lists Hawaii a your place of birth, which Obama was.
  • It’s arguable that even IF Obama was not born in the United States he’d still meet the “natural born citizen” requirement of the constitution because legally “natural born” does not mean “born on US soil”. Having one parent who is a US citizen may be sufficient.
  • Obama did have dual citizenship with the United Kingdom and Colonies through his father but per their laws since he did not swear an oath of allegiance to Kenya and renounce his US citizenship upon reaching adulthood, therefore he lost his other citizenship.
  • Having a parent who is not a US citizen or having dual citizenship does not disqualify one for President. If it did, President Chester A. Arthur would also not have been eligible.
  • Even if the President were suddenly proven not to have been born in the US it would not change the fact that he lived most of his life here, it would not change his basic views or beliefs in the least, and it wouldn’t make him any less American in values or principles. It also would not change the fact that 53% of the American population voted for him and that he was officially elected by the electoral college and that he swore the Oath of Office as required by the Constitution. It wouldn’t make him any better or worse a President. In short where you are born does NOT determine what kind of person you are, nor should people be judged by their place of birth. And it is not fair to hold this President to a different standard of proving his “Americanness” than you hold others… including Arnold Schwarzenegger or John McCain.
  • If Obama had found a way around the law and released his Long Form Birth Certificate there’s no doubt the conspiracy theorests would say “what took him so long” and cliam it was a forgery anyway.  Indeed the birther mess was only fueled more by Obama’s release of his short form birth certificate. It was after that that the conspiracies exploded.
  • Most of the people who originated the Birther claims are in fact known to follow other major conspiracies: 

  “Not surprisingly, almost all of the people who’ve been most prominent in pushing this story have a history of conspiracist thought. There’s Jerome Corsi, who’s best known as the co-author of the book that launched the Swift boat vets; he’s a chief proponent of the claim that the government is secretly planning to form a “North American Union” with Canada and Mexico. Philip Berg, who filed the lawsuit that had until now drawn the most public attention, is a 9/11 Truther. Andy Martin, who’s credited with starting the myth that Obama is a Muslim and has been intimately involved in the birth certificate mess as well, was denied admission to the Illinois bar because of a psychiatric evaluation that showed he had “moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character.” He also has a long history of anti-Semitism. Robert Schulz, who’s responsible for the ads in the Tribune, is a fairly notorious tax protester. In 2007, a federal judge ordered Schulz to shutter his Web site because he and his organization were, in the words of the Justice Department’s Tax Division, using the site to promote “a nationwide tax-fraud scheme.”"   link

  • If President Obama was lying about anything related to his birth it’s nearly inconceivable that during the vetting process or the two vicious campaigns he went through none of it would have come out. Both Hilary Clinton and John McCain had people researching deeply into the President’s past trying to dig up anything that could give them an advantage. Why wouldn’t they have found something? Do people really think Donald Trump’s people would be better?
  • If the evidence that there was some kind of issue with the President’s birth was credible, why then have nearly all news outlets ignored it since 2008 after it was disputed the first time until now when Donald Trump has brought it back up without adding a single shred of new evidence?

   

  Such are the kinds of arguments your puny minds have grasped on to refute the obvious truth. I will not explain to you why all of the above is foolish human nonsense. Here goes.

  BARACK OBAMA WAS NOT A US CITIZEN!!!

  There. Now you must believe. All of our research has shown that weak human minds are convinced by those who shout the loudest.  Also I know that you.. ur WE humans believe greatly in being polite and taking people at their word. This is my word. You must take it.

  Thus I have won. No. I am #Winning. We are all #Winning. After all I am Nephyo, the greatest blogger to ever live and I have written a lengthy blog post. This should put this issue to rest and solve the crises for good.

  I Thank You and my Overlords thank you for your patience and consideration. SUBMIT TO US!!! Peace Out.
