Americans Vote with Wallets to See Obama Birth Certificate



More than $40K in 1st 4 days for 'truth and transparency' billboard campaign

From WorldNetDaily

As
WND's billboard campaign to raise visibility of the issues surrounding Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility
yesterday continued to attract eager donors, the president had this to say: "I will never hide the truth because it is uncomfortable."

"On all of these matters related to the disclosure of sensitive information, I wish I could say that there is a simple formula," Obama said. "But there is not. These are tough calls involving competing concerns, and they require a surgical approach. But the common thread that runs through all of my decisions is simple: we will safeguard what we must to protect the American people, but we will also ensure the accountability and oversight that is the hallmark of our constitutional system. I will never hide the truth because it is uncomfortable. I will deal with Congress and the courts as co-equal branches of government. I will tell the American people what I know and don’t know, and when I release something publicly or keep something secret, I will tell you why."

Joseph Farah, WND's editor and chief executive officer, reacted to Obama's statement in stunned amazement.

"This is a guy who has no trouble turning over sensitive documents from previous administrations, but he still refuses to release for public view something seemingly so innocuous as his own birth certificate," said Farah. "This is a double-standard wide enough to sail the Queen Mary 2 through. Statements like this need to be challenged by a vibrant and free press. And that's what our 'Where's the birth certificate?' billboard campaign is all about."

Even Annenbergs Fact Check site, which pretends to
evaluate all the aspects of this question, posts a series of careful, closeup, and high resolution pics of a certificate they have personally seen, handled and rechecked. Only problem: it is, as World Net Daily (and dozens of court filings) attest a certificate of live birth. Sounds convincing, but it is not what millions of the rest of us would accept as a legal birth certificate; it rather is a standardized form certifying that the person named was born. It certifies nothing about the place of birth, attending physician, etc. Even in Hawaii, true, conventional birth certificates are also issued.
This is the document that Obama and his lawyers refuse to, or cannot, produce. That there is something to hide here, that must be very damaging evidence, is likely attested to by the fact that Obama's legal team has filed countless motions and engaged in expensive legal stonewalling with the cost in fees for them running very high.
Most tellingly, even Congress under the democrats control, held hearings on the legal birth status and eligibility of John McCain - with his full and open cooperation, before the election. No similar hearings on Sen. Obama.
So the question won't go away: Where's the birth certificate?
