This Is Getting Serious

This Is Getting Serious

You know, if it was just a few kooks asking the question, you could ignore it. When a Major General joins a suit that has to be considered a career ending move, you have to start wondering why Obama won't show the original birth certificate. From the March 2, 2009 "I'm not entirely sure that they are credible" World Net Daily:

Military officers from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines are working with California attorney Orly Taitz and her Defend Our Freedoms Foundation, citing a legal right established in British common law nearly 800 years ago and recognized by the U.S. Founding Fathers to demand documentation that may prove – or disprove – Barack Obama's eligibility to be president.

...

Requesting the action are Maj. Gen. Carroll Childers; Lt. Col. Dr. David Earl-Graef; police officer and Selected Reservist Navy Commander Clinton Grimes; Lt. Scott Easterling, now serving on active duty in Iraq; New Hampshire state Rep. Timothy Comerford; Tennessee state Rep. Frank Nicely and others.

And the not too surprising March 9, 2009 World Net Daily follow-on:

A member of the U.S. military whose suspicions about Barack Obama's eligibility to be president prompted him to sign onto a legal demand being sent to Attorney General Eric Holder has now been silenced.

Attorney Orly Taitz, the California activist who through her DefendOurFreedoms.us foundation is assembling the case, told WND today she's been informed one of the members of the military has been ordered by commanding officers not to speak with media.

The officer's identity was withheld to prevent further actions against him.

Look, this whole claim is so weird that it is rather like Twilight Zone meets The Manchurian Candidate. So why doesn't Obama just release his original long-form birth certificate, which would clearly establish that he was born in Hawaii, and is therefore a U.S. citizen? As I have pointed out previously, the Hawaiian government's own web site says that you don't have to be born in Hawaii to get a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth. You can be born elsewhere, and get one pursuant to an adoption in Hawaii, or a sex change. It's not likely that Barack was born Suzie Obama, so what's left? And why are Obama and the DNC spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to avoid turning over a document that would once and for all clearly blow out all these weird and absurd claims? It doesn't help any to have Kenyan officials refer to him as a "son of this soil."
