Ya know when he does release one he'll have the good sense to hire a graphic designer smart enough to FLATEN the damn thing before saving it.Quote:

I figure this might be the case and the Obama team has been dotting their I's and crossing their T's to make sure that if this is challenged that they have a defense. Otherwise, I really don't doubt (very much) that he was born in the USA.
I am more worried about his loyalty -- knowing how he spent his youth time.
+1 exactly. He's spent his time sympathizing with Muslims and apologizing for America being America. So if his loyalties lie elsewhere, and if there's a chance that his birth records are indeed fabricated, then WHAM! Kick him out with a steel toed boot.Quote:

Unless you found unedited film of him being born on some dirt floored hut in Kenya there is just zero way to prove he WASN'T born in Hawaii ... and the burden of proof lies on the accusers here.
So to continue to hammer this issue publicly is a waste of time (which frankly is why I believe he stonewalled the release of his birth certificate from the get go).
As a technical discussion I enjoyed doing the forensic work on the file, but at this point I don't think it means much.
Now it does bother me that this discussion (and many others in the public discourse) has devolved into name calling ... there is just simply no reason why people that question where he was born should be compared to kooky conspiracy theorists or called racists, or otherwise called names, it is a LEGITIMATE question (just one that I don't think is ever going to be answered).

This reason is why I think he delayed releasing his birth certificate so long (you can't tell me that the POTUS has to wait 2+ years for Hawaii to give him permission to publish his own long form, that's total BS, I'm sure any Hawaiian resident could get this done in 6 weeks).Quote:

It seems more logical to spend all these resources and time on fixing something like maybe the dollar weakening daily. Or maybe Sky rocketing consumer good prices. How about Unemployment. Hmm the deficiet. Or how about a .gov that is so divided it is damn near impossible to get anything done like the almost shut down. What do I know I am just a lowly diesel mechanic that lives paycheck to paycheck just so I can repeat the next week.
I totally agree with you. IMO this whole thing has been a waste of time and money...Much bigger issues to deal with...
Bingo!! That's all I was saying, people took it the wrong ways. First thread we should all be posting in isn't this omaba thread. It SHOULD be "Washington lower gas prices so food and ammo prices will drop."Quote:

I don't know what I think but these videos really make me question some things. I am going to try all this to confirm when I get home this weekend and have access to my PC with Adobe.
