Abercrombie: "Of course here in Hawaii." Hawaii News Now: "Not in the room?" Abercrombie: "Let's be serious. It is simply reprehensible to have this kind of conversation."And I say it's reprehensible for "we the people" to keep having our chains yanked. File It is well to keep in mind that OBama's eligibility to be POTUS concerns a number of issues besides his place of birth -- this is not some "one trick pony" affair. There are a number of issues that have been swept under the rug, and need to be investigated. These issues include Obama violating the Logan Act, Obama's Social Security number, and he and his wife's law licenses (or lack thereof). It seems likely that Obama violated the Logan Act during his trip to Kenya as a US Senator in 2006. While in Kenya, Obama campaigned for his "cousin," radical Marxist Muslim, Raila Odinga, which one would think, might be considered an overseas activity opposed to the best interests of the United States -- i.e. a violation of the Logan Act. Nobody has ever been prosecuted for violating the 200-plus-year-old Logan Act though, so I wouldn't hold my breath on this one. The Muslim Marxist connection is worthy of noting though. File File What about the fact that both Obama and his wife have relinquished their licenses to practice law. What's up with that? Perhaps they were afraid of having them suspended -- an occurrence that most lawyers would elect not to have as part of their curriculum vitae. (Question: On the Illinois Supreme Court record of Obama's law license it says "Former Name(s): None." Was Obama not at one time named Barry Soetoro? Isn't lying on your law license application considered a crime? Just asking). File What about Obama's Connecticut issued Social Security number? Bill "The Spin Starts Here" O'Reilly recently "cleared up" the situation -- lucky us. O'Reilly informed America that while it is true that Obama was nowhere near Connecticut when he received a SS# from there, his father was, and he got it for him. Oh, okay then -- but wasn't Obama's purported father long gone from the area and in Kenya at the time? I know -- "picky, picky, picky." File File Gosh, there are just so many eligibility issues to raise concerning Obama, that one hardly knows where to start or stop. But I'll call a stop to it for now, and end this article with a brief copy/paste email message that some friends and I came up with. It concerns Obama's Hawaiian COLB (Certificate Of Live Birth), and because the good people in Congress seem to be so perplexed, puzzled, and bewildered by the issue, we made it "Super EZ Reading," so even they may understand it (we live in hope). Dear Congress Critter, Please take a look at the COLB document which has been acknowledged and released by the Obama Administration, on an Obama authorized website, as "proof" of Obama's Constitutional eligibility to be President. Do you think that the COLB as seen is valid, or invalid? As anyone who can read will notice, it is invalid -- per the bottom line of the document ("Any Alterations Invalidate This Certificate"). Please note that the ID numbers on that document have been blacked out (i.e. altered), thereby invalidating the document. It is, legally speaking, trash. Yet, this obviously invalid "document" is the one and only official document offered up by the Obama camp as proof of his eligibility to be POTUS. It has been incorrectly labeled a "birth certificate" by such luminaries as former Hawaiian Gov. Lingle, and former Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. File What is this only official "proof" of eligibility, proof of? Nothing. It is nothing but an invalid Certification of Live Birth. (There is another reputed COLB released by "Factcheck" that indeed shows ID numbers, but it is meaningless, as it has not been acknowledged as being official by anyone but "Factcheck"). If you believe that a COLB is the same as an Official Birth Certificate (OBC), permit me to point out that Hawaiian OBCs have the year of birth in their ID number as two digits, followed by 5 digits (e.g. 61-10641). Hawaiian COLBs have the year in 4 digits, with the last 5 digits preceded by a zero (e.g. 1961-010641). I would like to know if you consider Obama's Hawaiian COLB, as we see it, to be valid, or invalid -- and why. If you consider it to be valid, how is that possible? If you consider it to be invalid, then where is your proof that Obama is eligible to be POTUS? In any event, since when does a Hawaiian COLB substitute as a legal stand-in for an Official Birth Certificate? I await your response. Thank you. File Respectfully yours, Laus Deo.
