   See! Never lose faith in our youth…That Build-a-Bear comes with an authentic Birth Certificate: something our President doesn’t have. Which Hawaiian Hospital were you born in Barack? As a “birther” myself - although I claim no affiliation with any one else claiming to be a birther; I can attest to the fact that Tea Partiers claim no affiliation with the likes of me, either. Do Lib pundits and editorialists really think lying and name-calling substitutes for real policy debate?

   There are too many uneducated people in this country. They can’t read, can’t spell and can’t think for themselves. They believe all the fears the Republicans lie about. They don’t even realize how they’re being used.

   If you go to

   http://www.treasury.gov/bureaus/

   you will find the following statement:

   The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the largest of Treasury’s bureaus. It is responsible for determining, assessing, and collecting internal revenue in the United States.

   You can find there a link to the IRS website, and the website has a gov suffix. If it’s private, they are doing a good job of looking public.

   rikoshay rabbit – I think you should check the accuracy of your sources. The Federal Reserve System is a complicated mixture of public and private, but it is firmly situated in federal law. Here is some of what wiki says about the Federal Reserve System:

   The Federal Reserve System is subject to the Administrative Procedure Act, and so is legally obligated to inform the public about its organization, procedures and rules. In addition, the Act requires the Fed to establish uniform standards for the conduct of formal rule-making and adjudication. According to the board of governors: “It is not ‘owned’ by anyone and is ‘not a private, profit-making institution’. Instead, it is an independent entity within the government, having both public purposes and private aspects.” In particular, the US Government does not own shares in the Federal Reserve System nor its component banks, but does take all of its profits after salaries are paid to employees, a dividend is paid to member banks that is 6% of their capital investment, and surplus is put in a capital account. The government also exercises some control by appointing its highest-level employees and setting their salaries. According to the Fed, there are presently five parts of the Federal Reserve System: The presidentially appointed Board of Governors, a governmental agency in Washington, D.C. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which oversees Open Market Operations, the principal tool of national monetary policy. Twelve regional privately-owned Federal Reserve Banks located in major cities throughout the nation, which divide the nation into 12 districts, acting as fiscal agents for the U.S. Treasury, each with its own nine-member board of directors. Numerous other private U.S. member banks, which subscribe to required amounts of non-transferable stock in their regional Federal Reserve Banks. Various advisory councils.

   I don’t claim that wiki is the court of last appeal, but on such a clear topic, it would be odd if it were wildly inaccurate. I would certainly want to see very persuasive evidence against what they say.

    TIGGER: Not to encourage your flight from reality– or sanity– you misrepresent how the chain of succession works. Biden would become President, and he would then pick a new vice president. Unless an ardent Pelosi supporter offed this nominee before Congressional confirmation, the nightmare of a President Pelosi would never happen.

    Besides, no sane person is calling for Obama’s impeachment. It’s just another left wing propaganda toon.

    church – unfortunately, the Republicans have not limited membership in their party to sane persons. (Nor, I hasten to add, have the Democrats.) Prominent conservatives have questioned the validity of Obama’s citizenship. Is that position sane?

    Constitution: “Article I Section 8 Powers of Congress: The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect taxes”

    Subsequent also to the Constitution the Congress can grant powers to the President (Executive Branch) or if you prefer

    Constitution: “Amendment XVI- The Congess SHALL have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and regard to any census or enumeration.”

    Screw wiki on the wall if you wish, but sometimes it helps to actually read the source and authorization for laws and administration of government.

    LONECAT: The Birther conspiracy theory was first concocted by renegade members of the original Obama haters, Party Unity My A$$, known more commonly by their acronym, the PUMAs. They were a splinter group of hard-core Hillary Clinton supporters who did not want to give up the fight for Clinton’s nomination. They hired attorney Phllip J. Berg, a fellow Democrat and ardent Hillary Clinton supporter, to file the first law suit challenging Obama’s nationality.

    So zealous is Democrat Berg of his crusade, that he’s willing to put aside his partisan differences to appear– not as an invited speaker mind you, but just someone in the crowd– at CPAC, hoping to drum up support from a crowd that he considers sympathetic to his cause. Aside from reporters– which was his true motive for being there– he was greeted as a “curiosity” and “humored”. Not that I’m saying there weren’t people at CPAC who agree with him, but most wish the issue would go away.

    This is a fact conveniently ignored by Democrats.

    Google “Philip J. Berg

    I can’t see how people who refuse the ACT of asking questions can therefore say that we, “the Birthers” are in the dark. In what hospital was Barak born? Why does he not produce the long form certificate and/or the hospital issued document with the doctor’s signature? Yes that’s right, I’m almost the same age as Barak and I can produce no less than three Birth Documents myself. Where are the birthing room nurses and doctors saying, “I helped bring Obama into the world?.” Why are his college transcripts and enrollment records being kept private? Why do the Superiors involved (Hawaiian Records officials, Governor of Hawaii) use parsed language to handle this issue? Obama, show us your Birth Certificate!

    I don’t know why I bother – I don’t expect to convince SmellChecker, but for any others who might still believe that this topic merits discussion:

    Quoted in USA Today 7/28/2009: “I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago….”

    http://www.newsweek.com/id/154599/page/1 FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as “supporting documents” to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.

    And you can also check out further information, including the birth announcement in the newspapers, at: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp and at many other websites.

    SmellChecker: if you don’t like Obama, that’s okay. If you disagree with every thing he’s ever said or done, that’s okay. But this birth certificate thing is not going anywhere. Either he really is a natural born US citizen, or else there is a conspiracy so vast and so smart and so foresighted that electing Obama was just a tiny detail in their overall plan. My theory? He’s really from another planet.
