IS PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AN AMERICAN?

obama no patriot IS PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AN AMERICAN?

Obama doesn't seem proud of his country

The headline above is not intended to provoke a debate on exactly where or when President Barack Obama was born.  My question is prompted in part by an article written by Tom Roeser on April 24. Suppose we assume for the sake of argument that, as his web site says, Obama was born at the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu, Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1961.  No member of the news media has ever seen his original birth certificate but the Obama campaign last fall posted what they said was a certification by Hawaii that such an original certificate of birth does exist in a vault somehwere even though it does not list the place of birth or refer to normal tests given to new born babies such as silver nitrate solution for the eyes, etc.  The fact that some of his relatives in Kenya claim he was born there could be due to confusion or faulty memory. 

My question is a little more subjective.  Does Barack Obama, President of the United States, see himself as not just a citizen of the United States, but as part of the nationality that is called American?

    I'm getting sick and tired of hearing about this birth eligiblity issue. All I hear is talking and complaining. Lets face it he has evaded the issue this long and I presume that he will be able to evade the issue for the remainder of his presidency. If it is found out that he was ineligible to hold office after he leaves the Presidency then undoubtedly the new president will issue him a pardon. The bottom line here is not the birth eligibility issue, but the fact that the bum is grossly incompetent to hold the office of President of the United States. He exhibits his incompetence everyday. He needs to be thrown out of office based on that, and a special election needs to be convined to elect a competent President to lead this great country of ours.

    I don't believe he was born in Hawaii but that aside, I do not think Obama is an American. He does not care about this country or about it's citizens. He is not fit to be President. He was raised by communists and he is a communist.

    The question is how do the people of the USA get him out of office no one is willing to do any thing that it would take to impeach him he has to many radicals surrounding him and protecting him and the Senate and Congress are willing to cover up for him they think he is one of them when in reality he is part of a bigger picture that being MUSLIM and they plan to take over the whole world one country at a time .

    The Congress and Senate NEED to be changed so that America's Representatives are able to bring this issue for investigation and throw the bum out. The way it stands everyone in Washington and others who supported BHO will not break their silence (I think because they will be held responsible also) who have the power to investigate and bring charges WON'T – November Remember VOTE

    I don't believe he is an American, and I'm not sure we'll ever get to the bottom of it….those who put him there have deep, deep pockets, and will stop at nothing to see their agenda in place without challenge. Trying to get to the bottom of this thing is like peeling an onion…..and just like peeling an onion you never really get to a substantive center, and what you do find after you've peeled back all the layers, will still make you cry. Pray for our country and its citizens.

    Read this comment and you won't waste any more time with Hawaii. He is laughing every day that we keep thinking Hawaii is holding his BC. Here it is. Keep reading.

    Due to the fact that the Republicans in Washington decline to pursue this issue of Obama refusing to provide an original birth record proving his Hawaii birth, ALL of the Washington politicians in office should be voted out of office and replaced with as many third party candidates as possible. The politicians in office now cannot be trusted to do the proper investigations, but instead continue the cover-up.

    If there are certian criteria to be President ,35 years old ,A natural born citizen, Like any thing you apply for you must have proof. When Mr Presibent dicideded to run he would have had to show proof of all the requirements. Apperently he did or he would not have even gotten on the ballot. If He did get on the ballot without proper docuumenation,then the people who were suppose to check it did not do there job, Oh Give the man a break, it took Bush 8 years to screw up the enconomy so don't expect the president to fix it yesterday, I also wonder ,when growing up anytime the President was always Mr. Presendent now he is refered to by his first name. Whether you all like it or not and until proven otherwise he is the president,elected by the people. I see him trying ,give him a chance.

      The man is well protected by a majority in both houses of Congress, the media and Progressive elitist.
      All that is crumbling, the protections are failing… There will come a time when those who participated in the 5th Column activities to "Change" America will be called to account for their actions.. Think about it.. Less than 600 bureaucrats run this nation, making laws and regulations, choosing to ignore some laws while overdoing or misapplying others.. They are the ones who ultimately cave into Lobbyist and greed.. We are a Nation of a little over 300 million, subtract 600 policy making bureaucrats from that, and we ARE THE MAJORITY FOR CHANGE…. 300 million of us can and will get change. Believe it or not the majority of that 300 million are not Democrats or progressives or even hard core Conservatives, they are mostly Independent voters and thinkers… Who have a good grasp of our history and lean heavily to the Conservative side of small government held in check by the Constitution… Tea Partiers describe them well, angry quiet majority that is fed up with Government as usual.. Just because Bush may have been a Bad President seems to automatically make Obama a Good President in the view of Liberals.. NOT SO.
      He has used up all his blame cards, Bush did it, Racist are after me, Those Tea Partiers are Right wing un-patriotic potential homeland terrorist.. His excuses no longer wash.. We have learned that dealing with Obama is like dealing with a car salesman and Muslims, forget what they tell you, watch what they do…

      Hey messed up in the head mechelle, listen up you numbskull!
      The economy started to go in the crapper when the Democrats refused to do anything about the mortgage crisis and remember that Bush was basically handcuffed by a Democrat majority Congress his last two years, so don't give us this crap about Bush "screwing up" the economy.
      Stop covering for the man-child, empty suite impostor called Obama!

      HE HAS NOT SHOWED ANY PROOF YET THAT HE IS ELIGIBLE TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE IF YOU BOTHER TO CHECK HISTORY YOU FIND HE HAD PEOPLE OUT IN 2007 TESTING THE WATERS TO SEE IF HE COULD PULL THIS OFF.

      I am sorry, but I will never consider him my President. As far as I am concerned there is more than enough evidence to prove otherwise. Have you ever wondered why our Congress, Senate, and Supreme Court don't do anything to bring this to fruition.. Either they have been paid off, threatened with death, etc., etc. As far as I am concerned he is an impersonator, a fraud, etc., etc. Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid vetted him without looking at his records. The two of them should be held up before a firing squad for what they have caused to happen to this great country. It's called treason. When I write letters to my representatives I never refer to the Mesiah as the president, always as the impersonater. Until they prove otherwise I will continue my practice of doing such. Elana Kagan was his attorney and that is why all the judges are kicking this case out of court. She should be held for treason also. Actually all that have covered this up should be hung in the city square so all of us American citizens can see what should happen to blatant traitors that try to tear up our great U. S. of America.

    Obama’s August surprise: turning AZ and 22 other states over to the UN
    Obama, the tyrant has now turned Arizona and the twenty-two other US States trying to protect their citizens over the patently corrupt (Obama’s kind of organization) United Nations as “human rights violators.” Now disregarding the US Constitution and US law entirely — and getting away with it — The Obama and his worldwide anti-US Marxist minions have begun to divvy up the booty from that which was once America. Note: Despite our protests and marches, Obama believes he silenced We-the-People long ago.

    In his boldest move yet to destroy OUR country, Dictator-in-Chief Obama has now decided to bring the full force of the world against those who oppose their own slavery at his and his masters’ hands. And the overseers at the United Nations are applauding The Obama’s move.

    Now “elevating” himself to the level of an Islamic Mufti, Obama has effectively issued a fatwa against Arizona and every other US State that opposes their own demise.
    For full report, Bing: Obama's August Surprise:

    What if Obama cannot or its' proven that he is not eligable to be presdent, what can we do about it. Will he be forced to resign, and what action will be taken as a penalty because he falsified his birth certificate. There should be some sort of penalty should he be found guilty of perjury.

    • James McPherson says:
      September 27, 2010 at 7:15 pm

      He can't be "found guilty" of something he won't be charged with. And to remove him from office would take a two-thirds vote of the Senate, numbers the Republicans won't be close to having even if they win every open seat in this election.

      Instead of all this silly impeachment talk, you folks would be much better off planning electoral strategy for 2012. Obama isn't going anywhere before then.

        James, We have discussed this in the past. Obama has never been the Bona Fides POTUS and can be ARRESTED just like any other citizen. Obama HAS been charged with Treason,Fraud and Immigration violations for the use of several social security numbers. Having a traitor in the White House is a matter of grave national security and ANY discussions regarding HOW to make him answer for his crimes is never "Silly".

      It's Congress' fault. They are the only body of the Legislature that can remove him from office. So now you know who to blame, get on the horn and write to your Congressman/woman and tell them to do the job you voted them to do. Uphold the laws of our Constitution. They are not doing their job plain and simple.

    To combat vet Korea 50 : I have been aware od this for some time and can state unequivocally that you are correct and that this bum is anything but what he has claimed to be. His socialist./ communist/ pogressive minions are trying still to consolodate their positions and are willing to risk all to do so in the lame duck congress thinking they are in like Flynn. They are wrong. We will know better after January 20th when the 112th Congress and the House majority can act as a huge obstacle to the further implemetation of Obama's heinous policies and programs. I am hoping as well , that the House majority forces a filibuster to eventually demand answers to Obama's elegibility questions and, if he cannot supply qualifying answers, move to impeach him, IMMEDIATELY,. The Senate will have no choice but to go along, even with a small majority if they wish to retain THEIR elitist seats in the upcoming presidential election. If they continue to cross an enraged electorate, disdained and angry as hell, that's where they will be sent, Tout' e suite! The dems will be politically DEAD if they continue on their present course.

    Wrong RECON…
    If this President is ineligible to be President EVERY BILL HE HAS SIGNED IS VOID… do you know what that means… Obama Care is null and void. There will be a serious Constitutional crisis as the government attempts to weed through all the bills he has signed to undo their damage…
    This is a serious issue on Constitutional principal and raises real questions on the culpability of our intelligence services, Congress, and the Courts… it begs the question on who knew what when and who is guilty as conspirators before and after the fact… a criminal act.

    Obama, or whatever his real name is, could not be American. He doesn't even know how many states we have, nor can he submit a true and correct certificate of birth. He should be impeached – YESTERDAY.
