The tenacity of World Net Daily in staying with the Barack Obama presidential eligibility and birth story mystery is starting to pay off.  Because of WND’s persistence, the Left is not able to bury the story, despite their desperate attempts to do so.  Now we’re even seeing some on the Left wondering why Obama does not simply release his original, long-form birth certificate, if one exists, and put the issue to rest.

The fact that Obama may be illegally occupying the United States presidency is bad enough, but it got even worse back in December when Barry Soetoro-Obama (or whatever his name is) stood by and let one of our American heroes go to prison, when all Obama had to do was lift his skinny little finger to actually prove his eligibility to hold the office of president, and the case could’ve been settled.  But, LTC Terry Lakin was instead sent to prison—a despicable and shameful moment for our country.

I’m glad to be able to say that the states may not stand down for the 2012 election as they did back in 2008 when they allowed Obama to disregard the Constitutional requirements for being president.  Once again, Arizona is rising to the occasion of taking on the federal government in its dereliction of duty—this time for not having confirmed Obama’s eligibility to hold the highest office in our nation.  Arizona is one of a handful of states with pending legislation that would require presidential and vice-presidential candidates to prove their eligibility to be on the ballot.

The Barack Obama campaign posted the same Certification of Live Birth image on its own website, labeling it as a “Birth Certificate” to counter rumors against the candidate. 

As Bob Unruh, writing for World Net Daily reports,

“It could be a game-changer.

A plan in Arizona to require presidential candidates to prove their eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is approaching critical mass, even though it has just been introduced.

The proposal from state Rep. Judy Burges, who carried a similar plan that fell short last year only because of political maneuvering, was introduced yesterday with 16 members of the state Senate as co-sponsors.

It needs only 16 votes in the Senate to pass.

In the House, there are 25 co-sponsors, with the need for only 31 votes for passage, and Burges told WND that there were several chamber members who confirmed they support the plan and will vote for it, but simply didn’t wish to be listed as co-sponsors.

The proposal, which also is being taken up in a number of other states, is highly specific and directly addresses the questions that have been raised by Barack Obama’s occupancy of the White House.”

This is good news, but it’s too bad it has come to this.  Our Constitution is the supreme law of our land, yet the very federal government entrusted to uphold the Constitution continues to ignore its mandates.  The requirements for president are very simple, but I suppose they could be quite difficult for anyone who is not eligible under Article II Section 1 of the Constitution.

As I have written before, this is about much more than a missing long-form birth certificate.  Obama has concealed virtually all of his past.  As I wrote last April,

“Unlike our previous presidents, almost none of Obama’s past documentation has been made available to the public. Hidden deep in the cavernous well of mystery of Obama’s past, lie his school records, which include kindergarten, Punahou school, Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard, plus his theses and other articles that would have been written, his medical records, his passport records (which would likely be very revealing), his complete records from his time in the Illinois state senate, his adoption records, his mother’s marriage and divorce records, and his Illinois state bar association records.

His missing college records are important, because they could indicate that he received financial aid as a foreign student. Who did fund his college expenses? Harvard ain’t cheap, you know.”

There is something to this case of Obama’s hidden past, otherwise, why should there be all that feverishly guarded, concealed information?  What does Obama have to hide?  I further know there is something to his questionable eligibility simply by the way the Left reacts to those of us who demand answers.  We are labeled as kooks for even daring to question Obama’s eligibility.  That is a classic tactic of the Left.  In lieu of just answering the question and addressing the issue, they instead baselessly call us names.  Well, that cheap tactic does not work on me, and the more the Left screeches at us, the more determined we are to see just who the heck Obama really is.  There are even questions about who Obama’s father was!

As more and more people come to understand that Barack Obama has in no way proven his eligibility to be president, more and more state legislatures will be emboldened to pass laws that will ensure this system lapse does not happen in the next or any future elections, and hopefully more members of the federal Congress will stop being terrified to come out and state the obvious fact that Obama has not proven his eligibility to hold office.

As I said, the requirements for the presidency are simple, but there has been some discussion of distinctions in the definition of “natural born citizen.”  As Mr. Unruh writes,

“At the time the Constitution was written, many analysts agree, a ‘natural born citizen’ was considered to be a citizen born of two citizen parents. If that indeed is correct, Obama never would have been qualified to be president, as he himself has confirmed his father was a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, making Obama a dual citizen with Kenyan and American parentage at his birth.

Other definitions have called for a ‘natural born citizen’ to be born of citizen parents inside the nation.

There have been dozens of lawsuits and challenges over the fact that Obama’s ‘natural born citizen’ status never has been documented. The ‘Certification of Live Birth’ his campaign posted online is a document that Hawaii has made available to those not born in the state.

The controversy stems from the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which states, ‘No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.’

The challenges to Obama’s eligibility allege he does not qualify because he was not born in Hawaii in 1961 as he claims, or that he fails to qualify because he was a dual citizen, through his father, of the U.S. and the United Kingdom’s Kenyan territory when he was born and the framers of the Constitution specifically excluded dual citizens from eligibility.”

There is no doubt in the minds of many millions of Americans that Barack Obama is hiding something significant.  What it is, I don’t know, but this type of legislation should be proposed in every state in the Union.  If even a handful of states passed laws that would require presidential candidates to prove their eligibility, Obama’s 2012 run could be derailed.  As it stands, there are five states, including Arizona, that are working on such legislation: Montana, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Texas, and others are rumored to be working on their own versions, as well.

Mr. Unruh reports,

“A year ago, polls indicated that roughly half of American voters were aware of a dispute over Obama’s eligibility. Recent polls, however, by organizations including CNN, show that roughly six in 10 American voters hold serious doubts that Obama is eligible under the Constitution’s demands.

Other state plans also might be in the works but unannounced yet. Officials with the Denver-based National Conference of State Legislatures said they were not tracking bills in development.

But Orly Taitz, the California lawyer who has worked on a number of the highest-profile legal challenges to Obama, said efforts are under way now in Missouri and Oklahoma, too.

She said the bill is expected to be successful in Missouri where there is a GOP majority in the legislature, and in Oklahoma, where last year a similar plan failed by only one vote in the state Senate.

She encouraged residents of Tennessee, New Hampshire, South Dakota, California, Maine, New Mexico, South Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey and Iowa to contact their lawmakers, as there has been some interest expressed.

‘We need eligibility bills filed in each and every state of the union … as it shows the regime that we are still the nation of law and the Constitution, that the Constitution matters and state representatives and senators are ready to fight for the rule of law. During the last election there were some 700 more Republican state assemblyman [sic] elected all over the country, as the nation is not willing to tolerate this assault on our rights and our Constitution any further.’

Right-on, Mrs. Taitz!  Let’s encourage the states to do the right thing and fight this obnoxious and ongoing affront to our precious Constitution.  Next time, let’s not allow Obama to get away with thumbing his nose at the Constitution.  If not before, then the 2012 election is certainly the time to end the possibly illegal occupation of our United States presidency by this mysterious man with no past.
