The US House of Representatives passed a resolution Monday recognizing the 50th anniversary of Hawaii's entry into the Union, which also included a statement declaring that "President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1961."
The resolution passed by a vote of 378 to zero, with 55 House representatives not voting.

Well there is absolutely no room for ANYBODY to question Barack Obama's birthplace now.
They would have to go up against the entire House of Representatives in order to make their argument and that would be a losing proposition.
Sure there will still be those among the low hanging fruit that simply will not give up on this story, but they will easily be marginalized and cannot hope to find any real support among the Congress. It was a stupid story with no factual basis anyhow.
I wonder if this will give Sarah Palin any ideas? Maybe she can ask Don Young to introduce a resolution for little Trig.
Yeah like anybody gives a rat's ass about Don Young anymore.

ReplyDeleteLou Dobbs Slams "Tea-Bagging Queen Rachel Maddow," Refuses To Back Off Obama Birth Certificate Controversy (AUDIO)
---------------------------------------------
It looks like at least one prominent nutcase didn't get the message.
I'm still waiting for Sarah to produce Trigs birth certificate....Alaskans have been footing the bill for him and should at least have confirmation that he is Sarahs son and not her grandchild freeloading off the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteLou Dobbs is officially a moron.
ReplyDeleteWow Lou Dobbs is losing it. I think CNN is nuts to let him go on and on like a nut job. Lou should go to Fox! Did the 55 non-voters just not vote or were they not at the meeting where the vote took place? Anyone know?
ReplyDeleteWilliam Shattner doing Sarah was hysterical!! I am sure these people making fun of her infuriates her. Oh well. I have been thinking how angry Sarah was in her good bye speech. There is no way she left without a darn good reason like being forced out. No way! I really hope we find out someday as who can believe a word she says. What is going to happen with her trust fund?
Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteDo you have a list of the 55 Reps who refused to vote for it..? I can guess where most of them are from... but it would be nice to see their names in print. To let us know where all the real wing-nuts are hiding out.That way if they are trying to pass some Legislation we know who we can call to make sure their bigoted ideas are not put into law.
I checked out a video on Huff Post today of Bill O who said the birther thing was nothing. He had checked it out over a year ago and he said President Obama was born in Hawaii. He was taking up for Lou Dobbs' right to free speech.
ReplyDeleteRachel Maddow show tonight showed conservatives that are saying that the Democrats want to kill seniors which is the purpose of the socialist health care plan. Yep, I heard Rush, of course, and Fred Thompson, and a representative from SC on the House floor saying as much.
jah lou dobbs the voice of the independent
ReplyDeleteI think he is just the voice of whoever is the "under dog"
zero credibility in my book
Unfortunately, this will not shut the birthers up. If God himself came down from Heaven and declared president Obama wasborn in the USA, they would just think that God is in on the cover-up.
ReplyDeleteFor people who still think that Bristol had two babies (or did Palin adopt the second one for her, as part of the coverup?), it is surprising that you wouldn't understand how people might still not believe the prez. No birth certificate, which is different than a birth certificaTION, still causes some concern. Oh wait, the House VOTED on it....that must make it true.
ReplyDeleteBirth certificate and dated local newspaper entries times two, please. For Trig that is.
ReplyDeleteSo odd that there's no record of his birth at all. No trace.
And it happened before the world as Alaska knew it changed (Aug 29 2008). Back when SP was still open and transparent. Before she had to have a gaggle of lawyers protecting her, before any ethics complaints had been filed.
I would like to know who the 55 are who did not vote. Absent or just no vote? I will be looking into that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with previous posters: Yes, there are some who will never be convinced no matter what and Yes...Lou Dobbs is a Moron!!!! I don't think he is an independent, I think he is a closet Faux Noise wannbe! (seattlefan)
Dude is there anything you can about the time it takes your page to load? I mean, it's ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteAnon 6:02 you are a hopeless idiot. He has produced a "certificate if live birth" which is what you need to get a passport and there was an announcement in the paper. The Republican governor of Hawaii has verified his birth certificate!! Hawaii does not have any other type of certificate. You have a screw less or you are a racist if you keep on with this. It's treasonous, and unAmerican. You and the other "birthers" are an embarassment and laughing stock in ou country! What is your problem? Do you get all your news from Fox? So ignorant it's frightening!
ReplyDeleteTrig is another story!!!! Stop comparing the two! It makes you look like you barely graduated from grade school. I am sorry to be harsh but your fringe nutwing minority ruined our country with Bush but you are so dense you (as in the right wingers) continue to be backwards in every respect!! I'd be thrilledif you stareted your own country with all your outdated ridiculous ideas!! Just keep going with this capitalist greed approach! It has just worked so well hasn't it!
The new Jim Crow laws are in effect with 20% of the country.
ReplyDelete1. ACORN was committing voter fraud because they were signing up black voters
2. OBAMA wasn't born in America because he didn't personally hand out an original birth certificate to each and every McCain voter
3. Professor Gates was arrested because his Harvard ID and MA Driver's license wasn't enough. The police wanted to see his original birth certificate.
The problem with the Palin situation is that it looks like they committed crimes and they lied. They admitted to almost killing Trig, you can hear a tape of them talking about their version of a flight from Texas. Why doesn't the media inform the public about that, along with a doctor panel to explain the medical situation? Also, statements from the airline employees and those that saw them at the time.
ReplyDeleteThe Palin situation is more then crimes and lies because their situation would involve child abuse and neglect. If the children are safe and they are good parents it would be easy to present a birth certificate. The birth certificate is to give the child protection. The Palin child has no certificate.
A growing number of people are concerned because there is no sign that Trig has the care he needs. It looks like child neglect. Paul Peterson has stepped up to help the OctoMon to be monitored with her children. He said something about circus animals are better protected than some of these cases. When a new baby was used to campaign for the McCains and Palins, NO ONE PROTECTED HIM. I hope Palin gets a reality show so Trig will have a chance to be helped.
I wish the 20% should form their own country. No government programs for them! No social security and no Medicare. No mor federal money for everything. If they hate the government so much, then please give this up and form your own country. Have just private companies only and see how many of you are accepted fr private health insurance.
ReplyDeleteIf Sarah hates government "largess"(is that a word), then by all means should take nothing from them. Who is giving her children healthcare by the way? Do you think any private company would ever give Trig insurance? Yeah the right wing fringe like Sarah and her followers are so smart!
Too bad President Barack H. Obama's mother and father and grandparents were deceased as I am sure they would have the last word on this. How convienant for the fanatical blind bigoted extreme right.
ReplyDeleteI am sure besides all the factual proof, there are contemporaries of the above family members who are still alive who could give statements that they were told of his birth and residence in Hawaii at the time. Not that this is necessary.
There are still bozos who act like Hawaii and Alaska are not part of America anyhow so this also relates to lower 48 elitism tho. I am no fan of Sarah and her self-esteem issues in regards to the two coasts but AK and HI are not mainstream USA that is for sure. Alaskan Josey
What about those 55? Michelle Bachman one of them? Do they include the 10 birther congressmen? I think we need a list to know who should not be re-elected when their terms are up.

The taxpayers in Alaska pay for Trigs healthcare, and never saw his birth announcement or original birth certificate. Palin rails about "socialism" but her entire family have been living off the backs of hardworking Alaskans. On top of that don't they also get freebies from the state coffers because Todd is 1/50th native? Lets see Trigs birth certificate.
ReplyDeleteAlso, anon @ 8:02- Gates only produced his Harvard ID which had no address before he got hot headed with the police. BTW, there was a hispanic, white, and a black cop present in addition to the Harvard security. Please get the facts straight
