		<description>Jwest, you never actually answered the question as to what kind of damning information would be included on this &quot;real&quot; birth certificate.  I&#039;d appreciate you or any of your fellow conspiracy theorists out there to answer this.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And Gail, we actually don&#039;t have any particular right to see Obama&#039;s transcripts or birth certificate.  As I asked Jwest, I&#039;ll extend the question to you, what do you expect out of the transcripts?  Save your money, don&#039;t donate to this absurd cause, get out, go on vacation, calm down.</description>

		<description>Not as funny as I might have thought, but was very surreal.  Some of the funnier quotes from the interview: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I agree, Barack Obama is a terrible president.  We have to get him out of office by any weird loophole we can make up.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I don&#039;t like that term (birthers), it implies Barack Obama was birthed. We have no proof that ever happened.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After Taitz said the Social Security number Obama used was issued in Connecticut and show he&#039;s 190 years old - &quot;Wait a second, Barack Obama is a Connecticut vampire...&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The funniest thing I thought was when he asked Arianna Huffington, because of her accent, if she was Orly Taitz in a different sweater.</description>

		<description>You have to feel sorry for the employees at the Hawaii Department of Health.  I think those 10 republicans sponsoring the ridiculous birth certificate bill (along with Dobbs and Liz Chaney) should apologies to them for giving legitimacy to the lunatic birthers. I could only imagine how many crazies they have to deal with.  Here are some of their (Department of Health employees) quotes:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;When you request a birth certificate, the one you get looks exactly like the one posted on his site,&quot; she said. &quot;That&#039;s the birth certificate.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;This has gotten ridiculous,&quot; state health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said yesterday. &quot;There are plenty of other, important things to focus on, like the economy, taxes, energy.&quot; . . . Will this be enough to quiet the doubters? &quot;I hope so,&quot; Fukino said. &quot;We need to get some work done.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;If you were born in Bali, for example,you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate. But it’s become very clear that it doesn’t matter what I say. The people who are questioning this bring up all these implausible scenarios. What if the physician lied? What if the state lied? It’s just become an urban legend at this point.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawai&#039;i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai&#039;i State Department of Health verifying Barrack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai&#039;i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008, over eight months ago.&quot;</description>

		<description>Though I hardly consider the birth certificate issue a vital or even highly important issue, I do not see that it poses any harm.  After so many conservatives, have reviled the movement, the issue remains alive and well with a vigorous following.  I am in that following, not because I think Obama is not an American, but because our nation was created specifically to avoid ever subordinating the American people to aristocrats.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At this point I feel somewhat compelled to define, or perhaps re-define the term &quot;aristocrat&quot;.  The aristocracy our founding fathers were rebelling against was the assumption of privilege above the common man based upon blood lines.  I submit that the demand of privilege for any reason is another form of aristocracy, whether it is the government bureaucrat as in socialism or the pseudo-elites here in America who base their self-proclaimed superiority on their education or liberal credentials.  It is still an effort to undermine our meritocracy and to create a privileged class above the common man, peasantry, serfs, or however they see the rest of us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As an average American, I was required to produce a utility bill in my name at my home address in order to enroll my children in a public school.  My two sons were required to produce valid birth certificates, paper ones, not electronic ones, in order to join the military.  Now I am being told that Obama is above those worldly demands.  He is not subject to the same mundane demands as the rest of us.  He does not answer to the people.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This offends me to the core.  Until his actual birth certificate is provided for public scrutiny, not the mere assurances of other government lackeys, I will continue to follow, support and encourage all of the nirthers and birthers.  In fact, I am getting ready to start donating some money to them.  You see, they at least have the courage of their convictions.  I admire that.  And I believe the real point behind most of it is the point I am making here, not the looney tunes stuff that is attributed to them. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don&#039;t only want to see the birth certificate; I want to see the college transcripts from all of the colleges he attended.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyone who honestly believes that is too much to ask of the man must understand that if he is not up to that minute bit of transparency that is required of the rest of us, he is then of lower than average ability and is unworthy of the office of the President.  The message in his refusal is that he is just so superior to the people of the country that he is not subject to the same laws and burdens of proof as the rest of us.  That is grossly un-American, and that is the issue.  He may well have been born here and have natural citizenship...but being an American is a great deal more than that.  Being American means believing in equality under the law.  That he refuses and denies.  That is the issue.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And, if you want to ridicule, belittle and deride me in true Alinsky form, go right ahead.  I know that I am right in my observations and analyses.  Please take the time to read the Federalist papers and some of the other documentation provided by our founding fathers.  Obama is exactly the type of person from whom we are supposed to be protected by those documents.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From Federalist #1:  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;It will be forgotten, on the one hand, that jealousy is the usual concomitant of love, and that the noble enthusiasm of liberty is apt to be infected with a spirit of narrow and illiberal distrust. On the other hand, it will be equally forgotten that the vigor of government is essential to the security of liberty; that, in the contemplation of a sound and well-informed judgment, their interest can never be separated; and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidden appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Best regards,&lt;br&gt;Gail S &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://backyardfence.wordpress.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://backyardfence.wordpress.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see, what I&#039;ve been urged to believe by birthers is that the Federal Elections Commission, all Secretaries of State of every state within the United States, the John McCain election machine, the Governor and Attorney General of the State of Hawaii, the local paper and the hospital were all in cahoots in order to ensure that Barack Obama could hide the fact that he was not born in the US.  Hmmm, what motivated this?  Are they all profiting somehow from his election to the Presidency?  If so, I&#039;ll take my check too!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Others point to his living in Indonesia as having stripped him of US Citizenship.  More hogwash by people who don&#039;t understand the Immigration and Nationality Act or what a pain in the ass it is to relinquish your citizenship at a consulate abroad; given that you&#039;ve reached the age of consent to do so.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This reflects the level of intelligence of the tooth pulling internet lawyer as well as all followers of this drivel.  It&#039;s no wonder she isn&#039;t a member of the California bar and scrapes around the country finding poor saps that want to get their name in a newspaper article.  Today, standing up for whats right, tomorrow - idiot.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The beauty of this is that Barack will likely wait until this reaches a fever pitch during the 2010 elections, hope that as many nitwit Republicans jump on the bandwagon as possible, then totally deflate the whole thing by pulling it out of his jacket pocket.  The 4 remaining Republicans will then know the true meaning of the word minority.</description>

		<description>Even if the President released an original you folks would find some reason that it was forged, falsified or Photoshopped.  Common sense, facts and reason do not appear to be words in your lexicon.  We keep hearing false rumors of Obama&#039;s family stating he was born in Kenya (disproven), nonsense about pregnant women flying in airplanes (made up), that he won&#039;t release his records (he has released the official birth record of the State of Hawaii and officials of the HI Dept of Statistics and the governor state that he was born in Honolulu, etc., etc., etc.  The fact that Obama has been an elected official at the state and senatorial level obviously carries no weight.  Nor does that fact that McCain&#039;s and Clinton&#039;s campaigns research and debunked this issue.  The FBI and State Department have done background checks on him and he is president of the United States.  No amount of &quot;questioning&quot; of factual information is going to make any difference.  Like a child that won&#039;t take no for an answer birthers stomp their feet and get all hissy.  Sadly, it is not going to make any difference and will not change the fact that we have a mixed race president and does not belong to the Republican Party.  Take a deep breath and keep at it.  Your party will surely be out of power for a long time to come.  Get over it!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even if the President released an original you folks would find some reason that it was forged, falsified or Photoshopped.  Common sense, facts and reason do not appear to be words in your lexicon.  We keep hearing false rumors of Obama&#39;s family stating he was born in Kenya (disproven), nonsense about pregnant women flying in airplanes (made up), that he won&#39;t release his records (he has released the official birth record of the State of Hawaii and officials of the HI Dept of Statistics and the governor state that he was born in Honolulu, etc., etc., etc.  The fact that Obama has been an elected official at the state and senatorial level obviously carries no weight.  Nor does that fact that McCain&#39;s and Clinton&#39;s campaigns research and debunked this issue.  The FBI and State Department have done background checks on him and he is president of the United States.  No amount of &#8220;questioning&#8221; of factual information is going to make any difference.  Like a child that won&#39;t take no for an answer birthers stomp their feet and get all hissy.  Sadly, it is not going to make any difference and will not change the fact that we have a mixed race president and does not belong to the Republican Party.  Take a deep breath and keep at it.  Your party will surely be out of power for a long time to come.  Get over it!</p>

		<description>I understand it&#039;s easier if you don&#039;t cloud an issue with the facts but&lt;br&gt;your supposition that Obama&#039;s  birth&lt;br&gt;certificate has not been &quot;released&quot; is just not supported with facts. USA Today has another&lt;br&gt;article today in which the Director of the Hawaii State Dept of Health&lt;br&gt;unequivocally states that the birth certificate is real. The US House&lt;br&gt;of Representative in their resolution commemorating Hawaii&#039;s 50th&lt;br&gt;anniversary read: Whereas the 44th President of the United States,&lt;br&gt;Barach Obama, was born on August 4, 1961... Is the whole House of&lt;br&gt;Representatives in on this conspiracy? Where has the FBI, CIA, Homeland&lt;br&gt;Security been?

		<description>Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in the state of Hawaii. That was the week the Berlin Wall went up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Coincidence? I wonder.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This evil, subversive plot has been in the making for damned near forty-eight years! By all evidence, since the moment of Obama&#039;s birth! Here is a question that all good and decent Americans should demand an immediate answer to: Was the newspaper, the Honolulu Advertiser, in on the scheme when they printed little Barack&#039;s bogus birth announcement on August 9, 1961? Just where the hell does that paper lean editorially? To the hard Left, I strongly suspect. Wouldn&#039;t that just figure!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The NAACP, in coercion with the American Communist Party, Democracy NOW and Ed Asner, concocted this evil plot deep in the basement of Norm Chomskey&#039;s home in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the midst of a week-long peyote mushroom binge. The elevation of this dangerous and subversive man to the highest office in this grand and glorious land of ours is only the first step in their dastardly plan. Their next objective will be to force our daughters - our little personifications of patriotism and purity - to court and co-mingle with NEGROES.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Before very long our children - your children - will be physically forced to memorize whole chapters of James Baldwin&#039;s &quot;Native Son&quot; and &quot;The Autobiography Of Malcolm X&quot;. Trust me, it&#039;s only a matter of time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They must be stopped. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the country that we all hold so dear to our freedom-loving hearts. America is falling; victimized by forces who would put a foreign-born A-Rab in the seat that was once held by the sainted Ronald Reagan - RONALD REAGAN, I TELL YOU!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My friends, now is not the time for the faint-of-heart. It a time for boldness and stoutness of mind and spirit. Only our collective intestinal fortitude will defeat the Liberal cabal - those nattering nabobs of negativism - who would burn our beloved country down. The time has come to give America back to the real Americans. My fellow citizens, you ignore me at your own peril....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And one more thing we must never ever forget: Barack and Michelle Obama named their two daughters, &quot;Sasha&quot; and &quot;Malia&quot;. What&#039;s that all about?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course, what you just read is meant as satire. Only a complete and utter fool could possibly take any of it seriously. The really disturbing thing, however, is the fact that there are millions of people out there who would read those last eight paragraphs and wouldn&#039;t even come close to getting the joke. While there is plenty of satirical gold to be siphoned from the bottomless mine that these lunatics have provided us with, they have created a dangerous atmosphere that is enabling the nuttiest angels of the American nature. That is something that would do us all well to think about.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.tomdegan.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tom Degan&lt;br&gt;Goshen, NY</description>

A long-form birth certificate with details about the doctor who delivered Obama no longer exists, they reported. The shorter Certificate of Live Birth noting Obama’s birth on Aug. 4, 1961, that has been made public is the official record.&quot;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That doesn&#039;t pass the sniff test in the way it is being presented.    Did someone take every single birth certificate (made from everyone that was born in Hawaii since 1900) and type the corresponding information into a computer Excel sheet?   That’s impossible on the face of it.  If Hawaii did go digital, they would have done like every other government entity and scanned the birth certificate images into a picture file.      If an image was scanned in, the information still exists.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The fact that Hawaiian officials would state something so obviously wrong makes me even more suspicious.</description>

		<description>ElZagna,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The officials in Hawaii have said that they have seen the ’61 long form, so it apparently exists.  This form will show if he was born in a hospital (there are two stories out of the Obama camp with two different hospitals) or if he was born at a private home and was registered with an affidavit from his mother and grandparents.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Should the long form show a specific hospital with an attending physician, then it’s pretty much case closed.  If it shows the home birth, further questions will arise.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note:  Anyone who believes that the Hawaiian officials wouldn’t release the long form at the first utterance of approval by Obama is deluded.  He doesn’t want it public for some reason.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jazz says he’s curious.  No he isn’t.  If it throws cold water on the flying unicorn dream, its unwelcome news.  You either believe or you go away in Obama world.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Transparency?  That’s for the other guys.</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;&gt;Well, I just wanted to say on a personal note, I was born in the United States over 30 years ago and I don&#039;t have a long form version of a birth certificate, don&#039;t know if I ever did. My birth certificate is about 5&quot;x7&quot; and has a punched, official seal of my state.&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You have birth notification form that can serve as proof of your birth.   If you want a long form copy of your birth certificate, you can go to your state&#039;s BVS site and request one.  It costs about $20.   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;jwest, CoolPillow, qwert321 and others: What exactly - and I mean exactly - do you need in the way of proof to convince you that Obama was born in Hawaii? If the &quot;long form&quot; were somehow produced, would that do it, or would you just claim that it was Photoshopped also?&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think he was born in Hawaii.    I just want to know why he&#039;s going to such lengths in refusing a simple request.     He doesn&#039;t have to honor our requests to see his BC.    And we don&#039;t have to honor his request to stop asking for his BC.    I think people like me are the vast majority of the &quot;birthers&quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In any case, true birthers will claim any long form birth certificate is a photoshop.   If the conspriracy is vast enough to produce a non-US born President, it would follow logically that this conspirarcy can produce a perfect photoshop.    I don&#039;t think you can ever please that small fraction of birthers.</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt; CoolPillow: The COLB and the birth certificate are two different things.&lt;br&gt;How so. Explain, please, and a cite would be good.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&gt;&gt; CoolPillow: The document that was on their website was proven to be a photo-shopped fake.&lt;br&gt;By whom?
