I was thinking about this thread last night after I turned my machine off and I realized something. I have taken the time to do real research on this man because I was curious. Curiosity is a great friend of mine. It motivates me to find out for myself that which I want to know.

I realized that people are apparently too lazy, disinterested or ignorant to do their own research, to buy that book and even to read what's available. They'd rather sit back and wait for it to be presented to them... What a sad statement that makes...

I don't know which Hawaiian hospital Obama was born in. I don't know which hospital George W. Bush or Bill Clinton or George H. W. Bush was born in. I don't know what size shoe they wear or whether they prefer boxers or briefs, either. This information is not relevant to me, to the presidency or to anything, really. If it's relevant to you, I don't know what to think about that.

You don't want to know where Obama was born, you want PROOF. You have been shown proof and you dismiss it. That is not my problem and I'm not going to spend time and energy trying to convince you of something you don't want to believe. It's not my job.

Here's the typical attitude I see in this thread:

"Someone out there fix it for me"! You seem to want someone to walk up to your front door with all of Obama's certified official papers and convince you of some story that you're determined not to believe. Well, that's not going to happen.

Just to be clear, it's ok for you to want the information in the OP. It's ok for you to ASK for this information. It's ok for you to demand this information and throw a tantrum because someone doesn't prove it to you. But you are not OWED this information, beyond the fact that Obama is eligible for the presidency. You have no legal right to these private documents. NONE.

If you want to know something relevant to the presidency, it can probably be found here on ATS. If not, then it can be found on the Internet somewhere or in a book. If, on the other hand, you want to hold his Baptism certificate in your hand, if you want someone to walk up to your front door with his passport just to PROVE something to you, I'm afraid you're out of luck. And if you want someone else to do your research for you, good luck on that, too. But it's not going to be me.

Later.

This dedicated thread was long over due. I have been asking these questions since Obama became the official candidate. Obama's lack of anything material and substantive in his life astounds me.

Let's pretend that the BC issue doesn't exist and all birth information is known about Obama. Now, just look at his heavily veiled life and lack of documentation or witnesses or first hand accounts. No one has come forward to corroborate anything. No former students, classmates, roommates, Law Review peers, staffers etc. It is all blank and bogus. No friends or foes have come to speak out. Surely, he has pissed someone off in his life especially in the cut throat world of Harvard Law Review. Yet, no one speaks. No anecdotes. No stories. Just the stories told by Obama in his own books. Books written by or for a man who has accomplished nothing in his career. Oh yeah, he did get underrepresented people to register to vote. Wow!

What gives???

Well i tried finding out about his past and didn't get too much information. He had a lot of names and a lot of scenarios are proposed.

Last night you asked me what i wanted to know. Well tell me what did he do those years in the Senate and what did he do before that.

You may WANT to pry into his personal business, but you have no legal right to it.

Determining his employment eligibility as POTUS is not 'personal business'.
The POTUS works for the American people.
The position of POTUS has certain requirements.

The American people have a right to know that the requirements have been met. More than a right to know - an obligation to make sure that the requirements are met.

Then where are Bush's military records? Not the ones Rummy sanitized for him--you know, the ones his former CO states prove he went AWOL?? How about his expunged coke conviction? How about the deed to the Crawford ranch that was purchased solely to makie him a fake "cowboy" so Texans would accept a pampered Connecticut native who recieved a legacy appointment to Yale (and got a C average) as one of their own?

Oh wait. That's off limits, I forgot.

But a black man who starts from nothing and through his own sweat and blood and hard work (something all you righties on this site claim to admire) not only gets into Harvard Law (on his own merits--no legacy appointments, no Skull and Bones, no vast storehouse of family wealth with which to pay his way), but graduates top of his class, goes to work for the people of his community rather than some high-salary corporate job, and works his way into politics where he's accepted by the People as the smartest guy in the room and the right man for the job--

Well, he MUST be faking it, right?

The double standard disgusts me.

Is it because he's Black?

Is it because you think he "wasted" his exceptional education by not selfishly serving his own financial interests right away?

Is it because he's energized the People to work together for a Better Tomorrow, and that thought scares the Holy Bejeezus out of you?

Or is it because he represents the true promise of the United States of America, the promise of equality and justice for all people regardless of race, creed, or economic status? I know that frightens a lot of people.

Mostly, though, I think the OP is just racist and refuses to admit it, even to himself.

And BTW, there's a very good reason the word "Privacy" does not appear in the Constitution.

At the time of its drafting, the word "Privacy" specifically meant toilet. If you said to someone "I need some Privacy" it literally meant you needed to use the bathroom. The word "Privacy" has changed drastically in its denotation and connotation since 1789, to where it now covers all private and personal matters. But at the time, because the Founding Fathers reasonably chose not to mention taking a dump in our nation's defining document, the word "Privacy" does not appear in the Constitution. The wording of the Fourth Amendment, in the English of the 19th Century, does indeed mean "Privacy" as we know the word today.

Context, people. Context.

And yes, this thread is ludicrous--and ironic. I seem to recall Bush stealing 2000 and 2004 through a combination of (illegal) voter caging, Supreme Court intervention (in and of itself un-Constitutional) and rigged voting machines. For eight years those of us who bring this up are told to "get over it". Now it seems the shoe is truly on the other foot.

For the benefit of those that have not bothered to read through the entire thread, here is my thesis:

The Elites maintain power through the age old technique of Divide and Conquer. AKA Hegelian Dialectic.

The moment this devolves into an us vs them issue is the moment you play into their very hands.

It does not matter WHO they have groomed to take this postion: however, this will polarize people and will create the Perfect Storm for a Civil Incident: the perfect excuse to declare Martial Law and fill up those empty, waiting FEMA camps we have all heard above if the Long Form BC is declared not valid. Just imagine for a minute the uproar.

As long as we are busy fighting eachtother, the Elites are freed up to decide our futures. I am calling this ahead of time so people can prepare themselves for the very real probablily that this is a SCRIPTED DILEMA.

Rise Above. Realize the true enemy of the Family of Mankind....those who seek to enslave us all.

Do not allow our lack of awareness of their methods relegate us to becoming actors in their sick drama, calculated to create Order out of Chaos. So that they can pave the road towards their New World Order.

Do not focus on the trees......see the forest for what it is.

I didn't realize this post was about Bush. Oh wait - its not! Its about Obama and the fact that he has no past, good or bad. The whining about Bush stealing elections is really old. Bashing bush everytime something is brought up about obama is old.

You are absolutely right, that stuff is getting old. And some day, hopefully soon (like January 20th), your whining about Obama's "differentness" and all of the racial fear and outright hatred will become "old" as well. This really is about fear as you and others have stated. This fire was stoked during the McCain campaign by Palin and the likes, and it has gotten very ugly. It's time for us to move on.

The last thing I want out of this is more division.

Forgive me if my post or my questions have offended you.

Then worrying about the guys origin of birth is the least of your problems bud,
you should be preparing for the NWO and getting ready to either
[a] fight
or
getting used to wearing shackles.

Then you will have plenty of time to wonder where Barry came from.
