In addition, the critics of the 2007 document note that Obama's father is described as “African,” a term used today. The formal language in official documents at the time — 1961 — would have identified his race as “Negro” or “Colored.”


Maybe this would be true if his father was an American, but he wasn't, he was African....you know, from Africa, or Kenya to be precise.

Nonsense. The document listed Mr. Obama (senior) as "African" because he WAS from Africa. "Colored" would have referred to an American black man or woman, at that time. But even back in the dark days of segregation and Jim Crow and outright racism, they still understood the difference between a dark-skinned American man of African ancestry, and an actual AFRICAN.

Yes. After all this time, you're still SURPRISED about that?

I am so sick and tired of it


Hell, yes, sister....so am I. Bone-tired.

No. Clinton got ZERO "honeymoon period" - the Republicans decided to run a scorched-earth campaign against him from the moment he took office, almost as if it was a sort of permanent campaign mode. The didn't succeed in actually removing him from office (though they tried mightily to do that, and came within a whisker of succeeding), but the were successful in hamstringing him to such a degree that many things which might have been possible never came to be as a result. Given some of what we've been hearing from some of the same quarters (Limbaugh, some of the harder-core Republicans left in Congress - those who don't get "retired" this election), I've no real reason to expect that this will be any different; Obama will hit the ground under MUCH worse circumstances than when Bill Clinton took office (despite the fact that he had to clean up after twelve non-stop years of Reagan ridiculousness/deregulation/borrow-and-spend profligacy), and he will have no more "grace period" than Clinton. The only way this DOESN'T happen, is if enough cracks in the dam - like Susan Eisenhower, Charles Fried, Scott McLellan, Christopher Buckley, Christopher Hitchens, Andrew Sullivan, and so many other old-line conservatives finally put their collective feet down and say "enough is enough" to the frankly increasingly deranged "Palin wing" - the lunatic authoritarian cultists who've cheered on each and every Bush initiative (and then only later complained about the ones that failed....and sometimes not even that). If that happens, we might see the GOP spend some time in the wilderness of being an opposition party....and come back, remade, as something we can all respect once again.

But don't count on it.

Summary

In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is "fake."

We beg to differ. 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.

not to be nitpicky again but...where did you get this story? It looks like something off that sad website Dr Cox got that OP.

The court has issued no such order.

This is a really twisted article. Obama and the DNC have filed a motion to dismiss. They are refusing to provide any documents in discovery before the ruling on dismissal. At least that is what I gleaned the last time I looked into this.

Exactly, more BS, what can we expect, but even MORE.
