Obama Citizenship Hoax
Monday June 22, 2009
Some of those folks the mainstream media have labeled "Birthers" — you know, the ones who keep pestering the Supreme Court with lawsuits claiming Obama isn't eligible to be President because of his "questionable" citizenship status — are passing around a "news story" alleging that transcripts show he went to Occidental College on a Fulbright Scholarship reserved for foreign students only.
Guess what.
It isn't so.

Billy Boy,
Click on the link and find out. References are cited.
until they can provide a authentic legal document that he is a natural born citizen of the united states,i will not recognize him as my president,does not matter what race he may be or anyone for that matter!
Obama and his people are perpetuating this by not providing the referenced documents. If they exist, show them, and get everyone off your back. Until then, many people will continue to question his citizenship.
Billy Boy, j and John,
You’re all idiots revealing your ignorance and stupidity by perpetuating this moronic idea that a man who was born in Hawaii (i.e., American soil) after it became a state to an American woman from Kansas (i.e., American lineage and blood), and HAS released a birth certificate proving as much is somehow not a citizen. Give it up and support him as he tries to mop up and fix the mess left for him by the jackass who wasn’t elected by the people.
I think you said it all……
Hawaii is No. 50 – A Record of Live Birth is NOT a Birth Certificate. He has never released an actual Birth Certificate. That is just a typical half-truth that Liberals bounce around hoping people will just accept and forget about it.
And, you are wrong on another point, I never said I did not support our president. Unlike Liberals posting hate-filled diatribes (i.e. I hate Bush, hope he gets his cancer, hope his kids die horribly, etc…), I do support our new president, I just think the Socialist lean he is showing is not what is best for our country. Like everyone else, I hope things do work out for the best.
John,
It is an official document issued by the Hawaii Department of Health. What the hell else do you want? And I never said that you didn’t support Obama, did I? Read what I wrote. I said we all need to get past this idiotic and baseless claim and support him. By the way, don’t make any assumptions about my views based on my view that we need to get past this. You know nothing about me. Where the hell did you get those asinine comments about Bush? Don’t paint ANYbody with such a broad brush.
Not inclined generally to jump into this subject, I like to comment that I have wondered about the anti-birthers, those that would accept, incomplete documentation while assembling legals teams for months if not a year already fighting all the battles across the country. If nothing to hide, do as ever president has done… release real information about education, medical and that includes a true birth certificat or else this question will be there for a very long time… sort of like the truth behind the Warren Commission???
I can’t believe the insane rants on this blog regarding Obama. Wackos make up preposterous stories and other wackos who want to believe do just that. These anti Obama statements are so absurd they take on a life of their own. Oh, by the way, did you know all the anti Obama nuts are witches?
I’m still waiting for the President to silence all of our doubters by producing his actual birth certificate, and while all you “asleep at the switch” liberal leaning people, don’t you realize that little by little your rights are being taken away by all the programs proposed by this president’s agenda? Perhaps the day you wake up and realize that Big Brother (USGovernment)has dictated to you what bank you may use, where you may work and what car you may drive and what amount of electricity you may use, will be the day when all the rights this country was founded upon are longer are an option. Think with your head, read more than one newspaper and listen to more than one tv channel.
You all are barking up the wrong tree. WE ARE NOT QUESTIONING his BIRTH, we ARE QUESTIONING OBAMA’s DUAL CITIZENSHIP. He can not be a 14th Amendment president, and he certainly does NOT qualify for presidency under the Article II of the Constitution. This has nothing to do with Birth Certificates — his dad was a Kenyan which made him a British Citizen – His mother, a US citizen, that hated America. He has NOT been properly VETTED… GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
I am not a natural born citizen but you idiots elected me TUFF ON ALL OF YOU.
Mr. Emery, what steps have you taken to ensure your information, and the information gleened from other sources is factual?
P-B.O. has taken great measures to cover his tracks so that ‘enlightened and trustworthy’ mouth peices such as yourself can simply sit back and regurgitate the ‘face value of provided information’.
Hawaii is nearly the most liberal state in the union. You think for one minute a Hawaiian official would produce anything counter to Obama’s wishes? It’s called naivety; and you sir are full of it.
If you put your mind to it, you could debunk 95% of the rubbish Supreme War Lord, Premier Bush was saddled with by other bloggers just like yourself.
BUT why on earth would you want people to know the truth about ‘Papa-Dub’?
Simple – President Bush doesn’t hate this country. He’s not a muslim, a democrat, a progressive, a liberal, a bleeding-heart terrorist lover like Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Reed, and the rest.
President Bush actually stood for something, and in most cases the right thing.
You? You wouldn’t stand up for your own mother if you had an incentive not to.
I’m not through with you yet. But before I return to my day job – a job which cannot be claimed by Obama as saved or created – Allow me to finish with:
There’s no such thing as a saved job.
And, why does the idiot think he can float the costs of his Mousollini-wannabe fascist dictatorship with green jobs???
It’s the same as taxing cigarrettes for more revenue only to see the revenue drop because fewer people smoke – due to the tax.
It’s the same-ole demented academic theories of old. None of which work, but they make great sound bytes for use in an election.
It’s why Kennedy has brain cancer – coming up with these stupid ideas.
Conservatism for All!!
The question is not whether he is a US citizen, the question is whether he represented that he was not. Why else would he not produce everything of relevance to the issue? Sure, he wants to proclaim his US citizenship now, but how about 40 years ago? 30 years ago? The more damaging issue is likely to be that he lied about NOT being a US citizen, either to get into a school, to make Ayers happy, or who else knows why. Of course, if he said he was not a US citizen, that would also play right into the hands of the people who are trying to establish that he is not (and who knows, maybe it would be evidence that he rnounced his citizenship). The birth “certificate” does not end the debate, the truth will out, and the longer the liberals go on supporting Obama and avoiding this issue, the harder they will fall when the legitimacy of every bill that Obama signed into law is questioned and challenged.
Holy Moses, you Birthers are dumb. The same certificates of birth from Hawaii are used in State Department background checks, as proof of birthplace for SSI numbers and passports, for in-state college tuition, etc. etc. etc.
The “registered as a foreign student” myth was an internet hoax, to see just how stupid you people are, and (predictably) you morons swallowed it hook line & sinker.
And I suppose James Bond broke into the Hawaii archives and substituted microfilms with doctored pages from two HI newspapers announcing Obama’s birth for the “real” ones?
Lordy, Lordy. If you don’t like the way we do things in America, you should GTHO or STFU.
“WE ARE NOT QUESTIONING his BIRTH, we ARE QUESTIONING OBAMA’s DUAL CITIZENSHIP. He can not be a 14th Amendment president, and he certainly does NOT qualify for presidency under the Article II of the Constitution.”
He is not a dual citizen, he is a dual national — like every single Jewish person in the US — all of whom are edible for Israeli citizenship just for asking.
What you are claiming is that Joe Liberman could not become US president because he is considered by a foreign state to be a dual national.
Actually, Obama is not a dual national. Any claim he had to British nationality through his father was removed by the 1981 British Nationality Act (along with millions of other citizens for former British Colonies).

To all of you ignorant idiots that I wish we didn’t have in our country: PRESIDENT Obama was born in the 50th State of Hawaii. It became the 50th state on August 21st, 1959. PRESIDENT Obama was born in Honolulu on August 4th, 1961. For those of you too stupid too live, he is a natural born citizen of the United States Of America! I grew up in Ewa Beach, Hawaii and I know my state’s history. Anyone claiming PRESIDENT Obama was not born in the US is probably a horrible racist, an incredibly ignorant republican or just a plain old stupid idiot. We have better things to do with our time and we need to clean up the worst financial mess this country has seen since 1929, mostly thanks to those of you that voted for Bush. By the way, Hawaii holds many things Sacred, including birth records. He was born on Oahu! Stop your lies, your racial prejudice and attacks, GROW UP and maybe learn how to read! You could do a great service to this country if you would educate yourselves, if not then please shut up! The rest of us have already had to suffer for 8 years and it will take as many to clean up after you, probably more!
Not so fast, looks like factcheck.org got it wrong.To late for Rocky Mountain News. they went out of buisness.

Scottyno!!! The article you link to uses partial quotes from factcheck.org and skews their meaning. YAWN!!!! I am so sick of political people. Somehow passion has overtaken the need for truth. If you want to dislike the president at least address the issues. Propaganda is for the ignorant. It was done with Bush and with Clinton and with daddy Bush and so on. It’s just getting old and tired now. I say stand up, wash off the ignorance and do something useful with yourself.
he will soon have to proove what he is in a court of law to legitamize any bill he signs into law. This is a legal question, not political. There are a pile of lawyers ready to take it to the supreme court once anyone gets charged for a law that he signed, then he will have to PROOVE his standing or step down, period. Unless all of you yahoos would rather scrap the constitution, we’re losing are freedom of speech anyway.
