 Obama’s refusal to produce birth certificate festers web posted December 4, 2008 WASHINGTON D.C. – Though the push for soon to be President-elect Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate to prove he is an American born citizen got very little attention during the campaign from the national media, and even dismissed as “conspiracy theory” at times, it is now gaining a footing in major news organizations. The tipping point seems to be that Sen. Obama failed to meet the deadline to file an answer to a suit filed with the United States Supreme Court challenging him to produce his actual birth certificate. Though most of the “mainstream media” was blatantly fawning over Obama during the election, even they have now begun to question why he would continue to fight the mounting number of lawsuits rather than just release the original document. Edwin Vieira, a constitutional lawyer who has practiced for 30 years and holds four degrees from Harvard, told the Philadelphia Bulletin, “If he were my client and this question came up in civil litigation, if there was some reason that his birth status was relevant and the other side wanted him to produce the thing and he said 'no,' I would tell him, 'you have about 15 minutes to produce it or sign the papers necessary to produce the document, or I'm resigning as your attorney," said Mr. Vieira. "I don't think any ethical attorney would go ahead on the basis that his client could produce an objective document in civil litigation [and refused to do so].” Sen. Obama’s website, FightTheSmears.com has published a Certificate of Live Birth, not a Birth Certificate (two different documents), that has raised more questions than answers. The “vaulted” copy of an actual live birth in the state of Hawaii would include the hospital, the name of the attending physician, the home address and occupation of mother and father, and a wide array of other verifiable information. Among the information contained would be the race of the parents. According to the claimed “Certificate of Live Birth” dated in 1961, it lists Barack Hussein Obama Sr.’s race as “African” rather than “Negro” which was used in 1961. In addition, “African” is a citizenship, not a race. At the far bottom left hand corner of the proposed original “Certificate of Live Birth” issued in 1961 is the following, C(HBM 1.1 [Rev 11/01] LASER. Laser documents were not invented, much less used, in 1961, as many have documented. As the controversy grows, a gathering of U.S. Supreme Court judges will meet on Dec. 5 to decide whether or not to hear a case from New Jersey, and a decision is still pending on a case from a lawyer in Pennsylvania. Should four of the judges vote to hear the case in the Dec. 5 meeting, it will then be scheduled for hearings. Court cases from Connecticut and New York have also applied for hearings at the U.S. Supreme Court. There are also over a dozen lawsuits pending to prevent the Electoral College from casting their votes to elect the president next week. The vast majority of lawsuits that are filed challenging Sen. Obama’s citizenship come from Democrat controlled states, and many are filed by registered Democrats. ©
