I believe that the onus is on Sarah Palin to prove to me that she is, in fact, a human being and not a robot, and I look forward to your help in getting to the bottom of this, Rupert, as if you've taught me one thing today, it's that all questions, no matter how absurd, should be treated as though they are entirely legitimate. I think that as a potential presidential candidate in two years that I have a right to know whether a robot that cries tears of oil and WD-40 could possibly be elected President of this great country of ours, and it is her job, and hers alone, to prove this claim wrong.

somebody should definately check her birth certifi...errr.. Warranty!!

Maybe his mom listed his race as white on the original and that would cost him most of his 'street cred'?

He may not know it but lost all street cred in Chicago when he threw out that first pitch and lied about being a Sox fan. Too bad he didn't show up at a Hawks game or Cup celebration. The mayor and governor were both booed. I can't even imagine the welcome hockey fans from the President's home town would have greeted him with.

"Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama was very adamant that her grandson, Senator Barack Hussein Obama, was born in Kenya, and that she was present and witnessed his birth in Kenya, not the United States," Shuhubia continued in the affidavit.

"During the conversation, Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama never changed her reply that she was indeed present when Senator Barack Obama was born in Kenya," Shuhubia insisted in the affidavit.

"The affidavit documents that President Obama's step-grandmother was asked the questions several times, both in her native language, Swahili, and in English, and that the Anabaptists conducting the interview were confident she understood clearly the questions that were asked."

I can't figure out why anyone would think Obama might have been born in Kenya. It is so strange.

To hell with warranty, what's the return policy?!?!

Rupert, serious question: why do you think the federal government and many Republicans are "in on" the Obama birth coverup?

Why do you think Bush/Cheney, when they were still in the White House, still had all the power - didn't expose this during Obama's run for President?

Why did McCain, Romney, Hillary all fail to make this public?

Why did the Republican governor of Hawaii say Obama was born in Hawaii?

What explains the massive, bipartisan federal coverup cooperation by Obama's political enemies?

I think those are legitimate questions. I would say the answer is probably that many of those people didn't think his birthplace was a question. They probably figured he must have been born in Hawaii or someone would have discovered it a long time ago. Either that or they didn't thinik they could prove he wasn't born in Hawaii.

Right now there is a fairly big campaign involving lawyers, private investigators, etc. and they haven't been able to get anywhere. It's obviously not an easy thing to prove since they can't subpoena the birth certificate.

a HUGE waste of no wonder America is in the crapper. We have nutcases that spend tons of money on a stupid birth certificate for an American President that is no doubt, 100%, born in Hawaii. Then we have a political base that wont let it go, and wonder why others think they are crazy.

If his mother is in fact an American, I don't think it matters where he was born, that qualifies him as a citizen. Maybe I'm wrong. Not being raised in this country is how he came up with his unique worldview.

You guys make good points. He may have been born in Hawaii. But when you consider the facts that he won't release his birth certificate, his aunt says she was there when he was born in Kenya, the White House can't make up their mind about which hospital he was born at, the guy from the election board says he definitely wasn't born in Hawaii, etc., it raises some doubt.

Since you love my analogies, I will give you an analogy. Let's say that I meet a guy and I know 100 people who know this guy. The guy claims he is 35 years old. Of the 100 people that know him, 98 of them say that they have known him for a while and they are almost positive that he is in fact 35 years old. The other two people say that they think he is actually older. They think he is around 40 years old. So out of the 100 people that know him, 98 people are pretty sure that the guy is 35. The other 2 people don't believe it and they think the guy is around 40.

Now let's say that this guy swears he is 35 but he refuses to show anyone his driver's license. In that case, I would be suspicious of his age.

The difference there, though, is that you don't look like a total fool running around screaming conspiracy theories when wondering if a guy is 35 or whether he's 40, and he doesn't make a fool of you by not showing his driver's license.

You're not embarrassed in the situation above because you don't wind up looking like a raving lunatic.

That outcome is the key difference between that scenario and the birther one. Otherwise, it was an excellent comparison!

it's either what rupert said or the obvious answer.

this was a good effort on your part. but you might as well go argue with a boulder for all the good it'll do.

no evidence will ever convince a birther.

nothing.

ever.

the republican party is a huge organization, with tons of funding available...one would have to think they would have used everything in their power, including this, to aid them in remaining in the white house.

but they didn't. that speaks volumes about the total worth of this 'issue'.
