Kansas State Board May Remove President Obama from Election Ballot over Birth Certificate

Obama has dealt with this and so have the courts. This case was even presented to the Supreme Court and they threw it out because there was no merit to the claim.

"Obama needs to show some proof, simple as that" Obama has shown proof. He released both his "short form" and "long form" birth certificates. Of course, he didn't actually need to show any proof. I'm not sure how long you've been in our fine country but our constitution guarantees that we be considered "innocent until proven guilty". In other words, until you come up with some evidence (not just claims of crazy people but actual evidence) that he is not a citizen he doesn't have to do shit. As someone who is accusing him of a crime it is your responsibility to prove he's guilty, not his responsibility to prove himself innocent.

I think the birther stuff is healthy for America. SOmeone has to keep the politicians in line by questioning them. Hey, the AZ sheriff's investigation claims they have proof the numbers & info on the long form cannot be legit due to wrong numbering data.

If that's so, when do we stop the nonsense -- at which president? DO we stop illegitimacy on a Dem or a GOP conadidate? Safe thing is to stop it whenever it's needed, no matter who it is. Both sides can call the other on things, and that is a sort of "checks & balances" to prevent breaking the rules & fraud. If the GOP think they have something & seem to be showing vaild reasoning, then Obama needs to show validity somehow. Instead, I see he always seems to be sidestepping things or withholding something.

What gives with that? Why? I don't get it. It's a simple piece of paper. IF the real deal exists or existed but got lost years ago, well, he should have thought about that BEFORE running for president I figure. After all, I have to show ID on things in life. Why does the govt always put the screws to us common people & not to themselves? They vote themselves pay-raises, give themselves port spending at our expense, etc. The rich get cozy light sentences (if any) if they do crimes, but that wouldn't happen to us "commoners" if we did something bad. Hey, the man has lived outside the USA so much of his early life that I think it is entirely legitimate to ask this question & make close examination on this -- after all, it is in our Laws for being a president. That should make it mean something. If we take it lightly, what will prevent a communist mole from infiltrating in the future? No. Korea uses non-Asians as spies already, and Russians can easily pass for Americans if the learn good enough English.

Don't sweat it. These jackasses KNOW that removing the president's name would be an exercise in futility. Because there are a few cretins trying to run things, the populace aren't, collectively, that stupid.

Human Rights Watch report on Burundi highlights election flawsHuman Rights Watch recently released a report on Burundi's summer election that cited election flaws, such as intimidation. International organizations knew about these flaws, but didn't respond.By Jina Moore,Correspondent /December 2,discount manolo blahnik, 20100Human Rights Watch recently released a new report on Burundi, the first in-depth look at the country since the debacle of elections this summer.Skip to next paragraphRecent posts08.01.12Mali, Shari'a, and the Media07.13.12Guest blog: 10 Absurd Violations of Freedom of Association07.09.12Why do the Sudanese protests get so little news coverage?06.15.12United States' new sub-Saharan African plan: trade not aid06.14.12Equatorial Guinea: Ignorance worth fistfuls of dollarsRelated storiesResolution 1325: What the UN can learn from the women of BurundiBurundi election lacks critical ingredient: presidential candidatesA comparative guide to grenade attacks in Rwanda and BurundiSubscribe Today to the MonitorClick Here for your FREE 30 DAYS ofThe Christian Science MonitorWeekly Digital EditionThe reports squarely calls out Burundi's Minister of Interior for illegal crackdowns against political opposition parties, during and after the election, details the disappearance into exile or hiding of opposition leaders; and catalogs so many overtures of authoritarianism that it's hard not to see a trend.It's also hard to understand the relative international silence on these issues. In the two days before June's presidential election, for example, at least 26 people were arrested, many charged with "inciting the population not to vote" �C which does not actually exist as a crime in Burundian law,Classic Mini Ugg Boots, according to HRW's sources. Just as the presidential campaign was about to begin, all of Burundi's opposition pulled out of the election; the minister of interior then said only political parties fronting candidates were legally allowed to meet. Arrest warrants were issued for two major opposition figures.And yet, no international organization �C not the UN, not the EU, which fronted a major observation mission there �C condemned these moves publicly. The UN office in Burundi has gotten a little more vocal in recent months, as the HRW report documents, but relative to the threats, intimidation, and arrests, there's a non-conversation that seems, at best,new timberland, like indifference.I was in Burundi in June, during the presidential elections and the craziness that preceded them. I was reporting on the UN Peacebuilding Commission for the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. The commission is a new UN body charged with promoting stable peace in post-conflict societies. It is supposed to be, I heard again and again and again in the countries I visited, "aggressively political." It was neither. And until now, neither has anyone else.There are a lot of reasons for that,Timberland Mens Leather Work Boots, and I can't pretend to know many of them. But here, maybe, is one. HRW writes: Burundians and international observers had hoped that national and local elections��the country��s first since the end of a nearly 16-year civil war in 2009��would consolidate Burundi��s democratic gains and showcase years of successful investment by the United Nations, regional governments, and donor states in moving Burundi from an era of violence to one of multiparty democracy.HRW's characterization is itself a little grandiose �C the first mostly-post-conflict presidential election, much more successful by most accounts than the second one, was in 2005,Keen shoe, and it went pretty well despite the holdout rebel group waiting four years to sign a peace deal. And even some of the UN folks I talked to who worked in Burundi then find the idea of the "Burundi success story" naive. But the delusions we create can be powerful.Related storiesResolution 1325: What the UN can learn from the women of BurundiBurundi election lacks critical ingredient: presidential candidatesA comparative guide to grenade attacks in Rwanda and Burundi Related articles:
