UPDATE III:
Charlotte from Hollywood wonders…
Why didn’t he release this during the Terry Lakin trial?
……….and how does he explain his refusal to release this [albeit fraudulent] document during the Terry Lakin trial? The judge who refused Terry’s request for disclosure said that her denial was based on an assumption that it might ‘embarrass’ this president. Now he releases it himself. What are we to conclude? What is ‘embarrassing’ will soon be known……………that it took team Obama six years to decide upon what a manufactured image should look like, then hire the same Annenberg operatives who created the faux COLB to write up this one.There is more to this drama, and I hope that Terry Lakin’s attorneys demand access to the ‘original’ of this clearly fraudulent piece of paper (or perhaps there is no paper copy, just a computer image, as with the COLB.)Seems to me that this could become an enormous issue. As Rush often says, “They’ve really stepped in it now.”CB
Margaret Hemenway, spokeswoman for Col. Terry Lakin, M.D., who is serving a 6-month sentence at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary for demanding his Commander in Chief produce proof of his eligibility to order men and women into war:
I am thoroughly enjoying this after all the Obots have told me repeatedly that Obama was not allowed to release his own birth certificate– and two years ago we were told by the liberal media that we’d seen the birth certificate– even though no one could provide a hospital or birth doctor’s name. So hold tight- more to come– but here’s my short take:
Ann Dunham was not seen by anyone on Oahu in August 1961. Moreover, many Kenyans have insisted he was born there. Reagan said “Trust but verify.” There is no trust left w/ a record that was concealed for no obvious reason for years- Obama was willing to let LTC Lakin go to prison @ Fort Leavenworth rather than submit that record– it absolutely needs to be tested for authenticity by a forensics expert– two years ago, the “mainstream” media pawned off an online document (a Certification of Live Birth) and told us we’d already seen the birth certificate.
and presumably now Obama will have no problem with state eligibility bills that includes forensics testing options (being considered by numerous state legislatures). Democrats have been fighting these bills at the state level.
I was warned months ago that a high grade forgery was being prepared by a good contact in Hawaii– once the hospital name (given out on bkground to reporters) shifted from Queens Medical Center to Kapi’olani. and I bet you they don’t have a hospital admissions record either for Ann Dunham. The press won’t ask for it either– where are the newborn & maternal blood tests?
They are hoping to spike this story just like they did back during the campaign- with an online document. They planned on drowning out any cries for forensics testing w/ a final public relations coup.

Not that it’s about the birth certificate, per se…
UPDATE II:
Marathon Pundit has another suggestion:
Donald Trump says he has investigators looking into President Obama’s past. Now that the birth certificate issue seems to be resolved, The Donald is drawing attention to the president’s unreleased university transcripts.
I have a better idea. Besides self-promotion, Trump’s forte is real estate. There a couple of Chicago real estate deals the mogul should be perusing.
UPDATE:
Kristinn Taylor has an interesting post about a comment made by the White House correspondent Ed Henry last night.
Birth Certificate Issue Undermining Obama Ability to Do Job: White House Officials Before Release
…and from a reader who commented about my post at Free Republic:
““Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American Army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.”
The Convention agreed and without debate the provision suggested by Jay was written into the Constitution.
That Jay’s advice was taken is not surprising because in his career Jay was President of the Continental Congress, Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court, 1st Chief Justice of the United States, Ambassador to Spain and France, Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Secretary of State) and Governor of New York, among other things. He wasn’t a man whose advice could be ignored. Note that what particularly concerned Jay was not a political issue but a military issue arising because the President is Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States. He was bothered by issues of National Security.”
So, Donald Trump is the new Ross Perot.
What we saw this morning is The Donald being played by the White House as the spoiler — or the third candidate who will hand the election back to Obama in ’12.
Look, first of all, it has never been about the birth certificate. Let me repeat that for those of you who are just catching up: It’s NEVER been about the birth certificate. Even though the media and Trump have stayed focused on that, it’s nothing more than a sideshow. A diversion from the real issue. (ThirdWaveDave)
It is about the constitution, and the fact that under the Constitution, Obama is not a natural born citizen. He cannot be, because his father was Kenyan and a British subject.
So now that Obama has shown us “the birth certificate” we can go back to doing the work of the American people? Where have I heard that before?
This is a hoax, folks. A cruel hoax, and there’s not a soul in Washington DC who will uphold their sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution. Members of Congress were briefed about the matter in early 2009 when the Congressional Research Service issued a 14-page memo about Obama’s eligibility question. What the memo told them was that the vetting process was the responsibility of the states and the electors. So what did Congress do?
Congress breathed a collective sigh of relief and went back to their knitting, conveniently ignoring the oath they took to protect and defend the Constitution.
Trump has a HUGE ego. We can all agree on that. Obama knows it too. Just as he played to the egos of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in pushing through his healthcare legislation, assuring them he would be there to help them shepherd it through (translation: ram it down our throats), he went into hiding, letting them do all the dirty, sweaty, heavy pushing. And it cost them their party and their majority in the House. But Queen Nancy was strutting through the streets cloaked in ermine on the day it was signed.
It’s Obama’s modus operandi. Seize and capitalize on the weakness of the opposition. Use their egos, play them by appealing to their ego.
Well, Obama got a two-fer today. By producing a birth certificate (legitimate or otherwise), he now can say “let’s put it behind us” and move forward to “more important issues”.
Obama has also legitimized Trump, making The Donald seem larger than life, powerful enough to force him to “show his birth certificate”.
See, the only way Obama knows he can win reelection in ’12 is if a third candidate splits the vote. And that’s exactly what Trump will do, to the Republicans’ detriment. Obama knows it, so he’s giving Trump the credibility he needs to propel him forward.
(We’re going to get into this issue with Elizabeth Letchworth, our Capitol Hill Insider, on tonight’s radio program.)
Check back here during the day as I update this post with further observations. Meanwhile, Devvy Kidd weighs in with hers of this morning’s circus act:
If it’s real.
Born in a hospital that won’t confirm the birth.
How convenient it pops up now with nothing new on it about his parentage and no doctor listed. This alleged BC was signed off by some flunky on Monday in Hawaii. They must have flown it to the White House in a jet to be released this morning in Washington, DC.
It shows his father as Obama, Sr., and provides the proof that he was born with dual citizenship since his father was a Kenyan national under British citizenship at the time of Obama/Soetoro’s birth.http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf
Recall back in January, former Hawaii elections clerk, Tim Adams, signed a sworn affidavit that there was no long form BC:
http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=254401“Former Hawaii elections clerk Tim Adams has now signed an affidavit swearing he was told by hissupervisors in Hawaii that no long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate existed for Barack Obama Jr. in Hawaii and that neither Queens Medical Center nor Kapi’olani Medical Center in Honolulu had any record of Obama having been born in their medical facilities.”
Here is another BC of a woman who had twins the day after Obama/Soeotro; same hospital:
http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=105347
Note the certification at the bottom of hers has the doctor’s name – missing from this newly minted one.
Also, the “new” one just released by the White House is the same green paper as the old short form. Mrs. Nordyke’s is black background. Guess what? Mine is white with black ink which I obtained 40 years ago for travel purposes.
Jerome Corsi’s book comes out in two weeks….we shall see. I’m betting on his impeccable research. For those who might not remember, he wrote the book that “swift boated” John Kerry and destroyed his chances for the White House.
Next will be the forensic folks looking at this suddenly released BC that will make The Donald – what? Oh, so happy because he can move on to more important issues? What a game.
