New Obama button features his birth certificate
TAMPA – Last week, the re-election campaign of President Barack Obama went ballistic when Republican Mitt Romney, in his home state of Michigan, quipped that no one ever asked for his birth certificate.
Apparently, outrage can be assuaged by a profitable copyright.
This afternoon, my other-media colleague Jamie Dupree sent word that the Obama campaign store is now selling campaign buttons and bumperstickers featuring the president’s birth certificate:
The price tag: $5.

What an excellent opportunity for the home-schooled and church schooled to demonstrate their absolute lack of contact with reality!
If there was ever a place for morons to stand in the street in their underwear, this thread is it!

From an earlier post that no one challenged:
I was wondering…if bin Obama is going to prevail on November 6th (GOD FORBID!), who is he then going to blame for “inheriting a bad economy?” Alas, poor George Bush! He will be blamed for psoriasis, incontinence, tornadoes, Greece, Global Warming, erectile dysfunction and, of course, the economy that bin Obama has inherited from his brain-dead predecessor from 2008-2012 (Guess who that is?). I say, we should – for just a few days – claim that bin Obama is a Republican so that the mess he’s carrying over to the “Second Coming” can be blamed on those nasty, rich, white, WASP Republicans! Case solved. Where is Jimmy Carter when we need him?

You said the same thing about Barnes and the US House of Reps two years ago.

You will not get an answer from these libs. They are incapable of coming up with a cognitive enough thought to answer such a question.

For the record, Barack Obama wasn’t the first presidential candidate in the 2008 elections sued in federal court over his natural born Citizenship credentials. That dubious honor belongs to John McCain. Birthism isn’t about race, nor is it about politics. It is simply about meeting your Constitutional qualifications for the public office being sought.
Obama — nobody else, just Obama — has either lied about where he was born or lied about being born in Kenya. Either way, he has lied about his place of birth and thereby called his qualifications for the office of the Presidency into question. People, white or black, are completely justified in asking for further proof that Obama has met his Constitutional qualifications.
If Obama wanted to put an end to his birth certificate charade, he could have done so on any number of occasions by simply bringing his real birth certificates into court. But that’s not his game. His game is to stoke the dying embers of racism in this country so he can use it for his own political gain, as you see it being played out here in these posts.

zeke:
Your question is similar to a man being asked, “Do you still beat your wife?” It doesn’t matter what answer I give, I will be “wrong”. If I tell you that I didn’t author that post, people who want to believe that I did will say that I am lying. This is a no-win situation. You may believe whatever you choose.

cc, i asked a simple question. did you post it or not. i will accept you at your word on this issue. i don’t read blogs daily, i tend to go in spurts depending on by other activities. so i am unfamiliar long term with your posts, but as i indticated some this past week or so were pretty sketchy as even mine can be sometimes. as a matter of fact i saw another post this morning on another said using zeke, but it was not me.
so one final time did you post that 701 post or not?

I just love when birthers come out with the “why did it take so long for Obama to show us his BC?” Here’s the answer: Because he didn’t have to, you idiots. The POTUS, no matter who he or she is, is under no obligation to show any of us his/her BC. The mere fact that he/she is POTUS is enough proof that that person is a US citizen. Funny how no other POTUS has ever been asked for their BC until the black man with the funny sounding name got elected.

@Obama is Dishonest:
Check what happens when you replace “birth certificate” with “magic underwear” and “Obama” with “Romney”:
The magic underwear provided by Romney after many many months of legitimate requests has been proven beyond any shadow of a doubt to be a forgery (fake) by several competent underwear experts.
Claims that this issue have been settled in a court of law are completely erroneous……..the court cases thus far have been argued to death that the venue for the court case was incorrect. The validity determination of the bogus magic underwear has not been allowed to take place to date. The Supreme court has NOT ruled regarding this issue.

Now do you see how dense you appear to be to the rest of us?

Another Solider, they just refuse to give up. No matter how many courts smack them down, they persist on and on with this issue.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7k8T7tjTEg&feature=related put this link in your browser .. It shows how a hacker could manufacture a fake certificate and post to the White House web site .. its done by layering..kinda PC geek stuff but very interesting. This guy shows you step by step how it may have been faked. Pretty interesting.. making a fake one is not rocket science.

If a hacker can hack into our military files you really do not think that one could not hack into Honolulu hall of records. Naive

Rockerbabe,
Try to represent your party with some class. It will actually make people respect you and want to listen to your opinion. I live in Tampa..I don’t appreciate you wishing I’d roast and drown. The hurricane has passed. Maybe if I get in a car accident on the way home from work leaving my daughter an orphan that would work for you just as well.

I believe my comment a while back has silenced the blues. I know I’m late reporting back to you on this, but td, most Americans don’t pay too much attention to international affairs. The voting populace tends to support the incumbent on that issue unless they get bombed, but I do somewhat agree with you in terms of Obama’s “accomplishments” in foreign policy in the last few years.
