The various lawsuits were for Obama's long form birth certificate that is signed by the delivering doctor at the hospitol. That's what he has refused to release. According to rumor, his mother registered his birth as "at home" a few days after he was born when she arrived back to Hawaii from Kenya. The rumor also claims local Hospitols have no record of his birth, and that his mother never lived at the address provided on the birth certificate. Of course we'll never know as he refuses to release them. His college records were being seeked because some crazy rumor claimed he had listed his citizenship as Indonesian or place of birth as Kenya on one of his admissions forms, I think for Occidental College. Of course we won't know because he won't release them.
For foreigners as me it is kind of funny to read all those discussions if Obama is born in USA or not. So what? I'll translate it into Japanese. Until the birth of Prince Hisahito, son of Prince Akishino, on September 6, 2006, there was a potential succession problem, since Prince Akishino was the only male child to be born into the imperial family since 1965. Following the birth of Princess Aiko, there was some public debate about amending the current Imperial Household Law to allow women to succeed to the throne Imagine if Prince Hisahito's real father turned out to be the mailman. |
Last time I checked, it doesn't say in the Constitution that someone has to satisfy every conspiracy theory nutjob out there to be President.
On topic:
The executive order about changing lobbying policies is GREAT and says a lot about Obama's intentions to give lobbyists the stiff arm. There are way too many overly powerful lobbies on Capitol Hill, like the NRA and even the AARP. Not to mention all the private sector lobbies out there.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
