It turns out Barack Obama is . . . is . . . a citizen. The White House has released President Obama’s long-form birth certificate to put the growing controversy to rest over his birth. Many of us have been critical of the birther conspiracy theories. However, I am not sure why the White House did not do this earlier since it addresses the allegations fully. It will be interesting to see that, now that Obama has produced the certificate, if the movement for state ballot laws declines. While it has been repeatedly stated that the laws are not about Obama, but we will see.
The long-form clearly states the date and other information. It also includes the name of Obama’s father — a focus of recent suggestions that the reason for withholding the document was the name of a different man or the inclusion of Muslim for religion.
Donald Trump immediately took credit for the disclosure stating, “Today, I’m very proud of myself, because I’ve accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish,” Trump told reporters. “Why he didn’t do it when everybody else was asking for it, I don’t know. But I am really honored, frankly, to have played such a big role in hopefully, hopefully getting rid of this issue.”
I am not sure why the White House held on to the document. One theory could be that they knew it would blow up in the faces of Obama’s critics. However, it has served to rally critics for years. Those critics are not likely to register with the DNC now. They are likely to move on to other claims against Obama.
Perhaps now that he clearly was born in Hawaii, they will now claim that his is part of the Hawaiian royalty and thus making him ineligible as the holder of a foreign ennoblement.

Ms. EM,
I have often thought of getting a Mac, although I am too old to like any form of change…
FF Leo,
My husband’s MacBook is much faster than my computer.
For those having problems accessing this thread, try a different browser. Internet Explorer was very slow for me and I switched to Firefox, which works much faster.
Everyone should have at least 2 browsers anyway (right Buddha?)
Or maybe you’ve gotten hits because some people like to look at train wrecks.
“thank you Larry for rare truth on this blog when it comes to this issue…I have not given up on hope Professor Turley will do the right thing and not stay silent, or worse, obfuscate, but speak truthfully about the law”
Thanks Cindy—-if you want more truth, visit my blog. I have sitemeter on my blog so I know if people from this site have visited my site. I find it funny that I have received multiple hits from people on this blog and not ONE person has posted a comment on my blog—-no doubt because they can’t refute anything.
My blog is:

I won’t be coming back to this THREAD. It’s over 600 comments and it takes me FOREVER to scroll and my browser can’t take it. I get frozen too much on this thread. I’m sure people will think I’m scared—lol—ok, if it makes them feel good. I’ll be more than happy to continue this on a new thread that doesn’t have 600+ comments.
But Cindy, Turley won’t tell the truth about this Birth Certificate issue. He will be run out of his job on a rail and be the laughing stock of MSNBC and won’t be able to get a book publisher. He will get tossed at GWU as well. He has too much to lose. This is EXACTLY why the mainstream media doesn’t report the truth—their jobs, pensions, reputations, etc… Bradley Manning is in prison for whistleblowing and doing a GREAT service to our country—-although Obama has violated his rights by saying “he broke the law”. Obama has already convicted him. Everyday people in society don’t tell the truth because of their jobs, families, reputations…etc. But most of all it’s because their too fucking LAZY.

Slarti,
And what, pray tell, is the mathematical equation you created for your experim…–or the recipe you concocted for your potion?

Good boy, Buddha, good boy!
😉
Buddha,
Has no one explained the concept of a conspiracy to you? Man, it’s hard to find good minions thes… er… um… well, …you see… ahhh… Move along. Nothing to see here.
NL made threats against Dr. K. and Professor Turley is showing a large measure of restraint regarding those comments.
(Note: This thread has so many posts that I am almost unable to access it to post)
I helped! (Buddha Is Waving)
Elaine,
I was just conducting a little experim… um… er… casting a spell on this thread. It was most illuminating.
Bdaman aka bdatroll,
Don’t believe Buddha when he says it was science – in the words of detective/wizard Harry Dresden:
“Sufficiently advanced technology, my ass.”
Elaine,
That is probably the right way to deal with it. See you tomorrow.
Excellent observation, FFLEO.
rafflaw,
I posted this [bold mine]:
Since Nada Libtard had previously posted as ‘DeepCover7’ he leapt to the erroneous conclusion that one of the guest posters had given me his email address (and presumably fingered you, in particular, because of your support of me).
Thanks Slarts.
Former Fed,
I saw that comment in NL’s corrections comment, but it didn’t make much sense. Thanks for your help.
Slarti,
There is no need to apologize to me. Birthers, trolls, and some crazy far-right wingers make assumptions with no basis in fact. That’s not your fault. Trolls on the Turley blog have accused me of a number of things and cast aspersions on my character–among other things. I just let it roll right off my back.
rafflaw,
Nada Libtard falsely accused you because of ‘guilt by association’ (association fallacy) through his illogical, twisted assumptions.

“Your encouragement of those who resort to ad hominems makes you suspect.”
rafflaw,
I believe your name got involved because someone suspected that one of the guest posters was passing me information that I shouldn’t have and you were the guest poster that was chummy with me on this thread.
Slarts,
Thanks for the information. Why would NL thi k I outer him?
