If Obama were born anywhere outside US Territory he is not qualified. Why is important to see the vault birth records? The reason is that in 1961 Hawaii after Statehood was rife with immigration fraud. Anyone could walk in off the street and register a baby on their good word and get a birth certificate. In other words people lied a lot.<br><br>Obama has claimed he was born in a hospital in Hawaii. The only way to prove that is to produce the vault records that would contain the place of birth. If it confirms the name of the hospital Obama has claimed then fine. On the other hand, if his mother said he was born at home or some other place it raises questions. Such as where was he born? What evidence is there of that? Was he born overseas and brought back to Hawaii and registered and his parents lied about it.<br><br>Many cite the listing of Obama\'s birth in the local newspapers but that is only circumstantial and was something that was done by the Health department for all babies issued birth certificates.<br><br>Keep in mind that the hospital that Obama claims he was born at has not confirmed the birth due to privacy laws. Obama has refused to release those hospital records as well as the vault birth records.<br><br>So the natural born standard is the highest standard in our Nation. The COLB does not on its face answer the question, even if it is legitimate. That will still require that the original vault birth records be released, which Obama could do by signing a release and paying $10.00.</div>\

He has traveled to other nations with a passport presumably. We have to show one to get a driver\'s license.

I needed one certified and issued by the state. Why is this so sensitive that he cannot agree to the release of a certified long form original to honor us and display in the archives of our great nation of a native born son and his legacy?

My personal and professional insight into the relationship between judges ("law students who get to mark their own exam papers") and practicing attorneys has led me to the conclusion that these people are fixated upon proceduralistic concerns - rightly or wrongly so - and nothing remotely resembling considerations like the Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) approach which has been making such an impact on the provision of health care over the past decade.<br><br>Dismissal of a petition for a subpoena duces tecum on the judge\'s presumption that the petitioning attorney is undertaking a "fishing expedition" is not something I would expect such an officer of the court to undertake unless he is being pressured by some consideration of political (or even more sordid) influence.<br><br>Of which I have no doubt in the various cases where proceduralistic "fancy lawyer tricks" have been employed by Mr. Soetoro\'s goniffs to get him out from under compulsion to come up with documentary proof of his "natural-born" citizen status.</div>\

LaLee, are you entirely unfamiliar with the long and sordid history of suppressio veri, suggestio falsi among the ranks of elected and appointed officers of civil government at all levels?<br><br>Let\'s make a comparison. Say you were a young physician working a VD clinic, and you encountered a patient whose physical findings were strongly suggestive of sexual promiscuity, up to and including indications of recent activity as a prostitute.<br><br>This individual protests his or her lack of any such history of sexual promiscuity, all the while demonstrating unmistakable signs of some several sexually transmitted diseases.<br><br>Do you believe the patient\'s protestations or press upon him/her the necessity not only for medical treatment to help resolve his/her personal illnesses, but also the necessity to reach out to his/her sexual contacts - however many and however embarrassing such outreach might prove to be - in order to address the public health hazard of these pathogens ping-ponging all to hellangone over the community?<br><br>Judges and other lawyers are not impressed by such obdurate and intractable considerations as the facts of reality. They live forever in fantasyland, buffered by the rituals of procedure to an extent that would amaze you if only you were unfortunate enough to run afoul of these spectacular sonsofbitches.<br><br>Factual reality makes itself manifest to man in many different ways, but always for those of us in and around the sciences, we begin with: <br><br>"Damn. That\'s funny...."<br><br>And there\'s Mr. Soetoro and his astonishing stonewalling, his refusal to expose to public scrutiny his birth certificate (which the officers of the state of Hawaii have been quoted - perhaps inaccurately - as saying they DO have on file in their archives), his academic records, his records as an elected officer of the Illinois state government, his medical records (in Kenya and in these United States), and a great deal more.<br><br>All material that every other Boot-On-Your-Neck Party (Republican or Democrat wing) candidate for the presidency has provided in grindingly thorough detail, sometimes whether it had been requested by the press or not.<br><br>So about Mr. Soetoro, I\'ve surely got to say:<br><br>"Damn. That\'s funny...."<br><br>Mr. Soetoro is figuratively dripping pus from the tip of his talleywacker, and it doesn\'t take a demon diagnostician to tell that further investigation and treatment is necessary.<br><br>He\'s a public health hazard.</div>\
