QUESTION: “Why doesn’t Obama just release his birth certificate?”. ANSWER: There is something embarrassing to him politically that’s written on it
Yesterday, on Hardball, Chris Matthews asked a very obvious, rhetorical question: ”Why doesn’t Obama just release his birth certificate?”.
ANSWER: Because there is something embarrassing on it politically for Obama that he doesn’t want to have to explain to the American people, and the black community in particular.
I used to think he was listed as “Muslim” on his birth certificate, but I’ve since been convinced that in 1961, when Obama was born, religion wasn’t recorded on a birth certificate. I was born in Ohio in the late 1970s and “Catholic” is written on my birth certificate in several places, so I assumed “Muslim” was written on Obama’s because of his father, who was Muslim, and Islam dictates a son is the religion of his father unless that boy renounces it formally before he is 18. However, a friend of mine who was born in Hawaii prior to 1961 has a daughter who was born in Hawaii in the 1980s…and she sent me copies of her daughter’s and her birth certificate and the two of them don’t have religion anywhere on them. So, that struck down the “Obama is not releasing this because it says ‘Muslim’ on it” theory.
David Axelrod is a political genius for ginning up the “Birther Movement” and planting conspiracy theories out there that say the reason Obama is not releasing his birth certificate is because he was not born in the US. I know for a fact Axelrod did this, and it is one of the smartest political moves in history. It is Alinsky elevated to its purest form, because it completely neutralized all criticism of Obama for not releasing the birth certificate by painting anyone who talks about the issue as a lunatic. Just watch: the second anyone asks WHY Obama won’t just show the world his birth certificate people call that person a lunatic, a “Birther”, and claim they sit around with tinfoil hats on all day listening to conspiracy theories.
This attacks the questioner, and polarizes that person into a pariah for asking a valid question. It’s a genius move, and you can bet Axelrod was behind it…since it has kept the birth certificate question from ever being addressed.
Of course Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961.
But, there’s something on his birth certificate he does not want America to see, and it’s now down to a few options as to what that something is:
(1) His race is listed as Caucasian-Arab on the birth certificate, not as “black” the way he needs it to be to get away with everything he gets away with in life. Obama’s whole schtick is that he is black, not a Caucasian-Arab. His mother was full Caucasian, and his father was only 1/4 black. Most likely, his father was listed as “African Arab” on the race line below his name on that 1961 birth certificate. When the child’s line was completed, it would have been recorded as an amalgam of mother and father, according to how they recorded mixed race births in 1961. A full-blood Caucasian mother plus a father who is 3/4 Arab and 1/4 black would result in a child that is 50% Caucasian/near 50% Arab, but with a little black in him.
That’s not what Obama’s narrative needed to be to get him where he wanted to go (hence, the necessity of him marrying someone like Michelle Antoinette, who gave him street cred in the black community).
So, it’s most likely that his full birth certificate does not say black anywhere on it, but instead has Arab written where Obama doesn’t want it to be. Because a Certificate of Live Birth in Hawaii (a Cliff’s Notes for a birth certificate) does not have the race lines included in the printout, for whatever reason, David Axelrod had that COLB released to the press and ginned up the Birther controversy to keep people from demanding to see the actual birth certificate.
If Obama loses the black community, and if they believe he lied to them and is not really one of them, the whole house of cards tumbles down. So, this is the most likely explanation for why the White House, to this day, refuses to release the birth certificate.
(2) Obama’s adoption by Lolo Soetero in the 1970s complicated the birth certificate and the White House is afraid it can’t explain that to the American people. The few school records that have been released for Obama are from his school in Indonesia where it was recorded that Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetero, his mother’s second husband, and he went by Barry Soetero in Indonesia. A friend of mine was adopted as an older child, and at the time of his adoption his original birth certificate was pulled, changed, and the adoption was noted on it with his legal name change. So, he was born as “John Smith” but became “John Davis” at the time of the adoption. A birth certificate for him that was pulled a day before the adoption would say “John Smith” and one the day after the adoption would say “John Davis”. If he kept going by the name “John Smith” because he liked it better (or he thought it would have gotten him farther with financial aid and admissions in the Ivy League, because he knew those schools wanted a black-sounding name like Barack Hussein Obama) then at some point in the future he would have had a lot of explaining to do if a “John Davis” birth certificate showed up for him (Barry Soetero in Obama’s case). It seems the adoption would have created a lot of weird explaining for Obama to do, and the White House might not believe the American people can grasp all of this…so that could also be why they refuse to release the birth certificate. This is the second most likely explanation for what’s going on.
(3) Barack Obama Sr. is not Obama’s real father. This is the craziest of the remaining theories, because the COLB issued by Hawaii lists this man as Obama’s father. Perhaps the original birth certificate said ‘Father unknown’ and Obama’s mother only later filled in BHO Sr. This weirdness would have been embarrassing for Obama to explain, so that could be why the White House refuses to release the birth certificate. Some people speculate that Frank Marshall, who was married at the time, was really Obama’s father and that BHO Sr. was used as a scapegoat because he lived in Kenya and had children all over the world with a half dozen different women, so what did it matter if Stanley Dunham wrote his name down for her son, too? This could all be possible, but it’s the least likely scenario.
Because Obama has spent most of his life hiding this birth certificate, because of whatever it reveals about him, he’s entrenched himself too much on this issue to ever give that piece of paper up willingly.
The REAL mystery of all of this, at the moment, is why on Earth Chris Matthews decided to talk about this last night on MSNBC.
Matthews is to Obama what a teenage girl is to insert-Tiger-Beat-cover-hunk-of-her-choice-here.
I can’t imagine Matthews ever saying or doing anything to hurt Obama of his own volition, and since MSNBC employs Matthews, and MSNBC is tied inextricably to Obama, I just don’t know why Matthews would ever be allowed to harm Obama in any way.
So, why is he talking about the birth certificate?
It’s a very slow news period right now, so maybe it’s just to gin up ratings.
It’s very, very weird though.
Christmas Ground Report — Pennsylvania
NOTE: Here’s a terrific Ground Report we got from Pennsylvania today, telling us what people were talking about at a holiday gathering there. These Ground Reports are invaluable micro-focus groups chock full of great information.
All of you have a story like this from your own Christmas. We’d love to hear them…and will run every one we get. Just tell us what state you were in, describe what sort of people were at the gathering, and tell us what people said in the political/economic/current events realm that you found interesting and insightful.
Email it to: HillBuzz@gmail.com

Dear HillBuzz,
Here is my report back to you on my Christmas family gathering. First, let me say, we never mix
politics and Christmas, ever, it is a day for family and a feast that would blow your mind. Everyone bakes, prepares
all sorts of dishes, pretty much the entire month of December for this annual event. Which is why I haven’t been
HillBuzzing daily, as I love to do. I have been in Christmas mode!
The gathering is held at my brothers home, about an hour and a half drive from where I live, out in the country,
sort of like Sarah’s Alaska, he and the other people in that area, stock freezers with deer meat caught right in
the back yard. They fish, have huge gardens, and truly live off the land. Also they depend on themselves to
protect property and family, they don’t call the police. He has hunting dogs, which are used for hunting but also
protect his property. He teases me since my dog, Jackson, a miniature Schnauzer, wears sweaters, and I carry
him around like a baby. I feel kind of sorry for his dogs, but they are well taken care of and seem to love
what they do. If I lived out there I would have hunting dogs but would still have a Jackson.
I had some serious cat-fights in this back yard, last summer, before the mid-term election, with who I
call the View/Oprah/Katie Couric group who attend our summer gatherings. They go to my sister-in-law’s church.
They think Obama is going to save the world. (Gag) They are liberal, miserable, and want to stay that way.
This gathering of people includes all age groups, new born to very senior citizens. Some Repubs. mostly
life-long Dems. You know, brain washed Dems. I gave up being a Dem in I think 06, when they were attacking
Bush over the surge. I just couldn’t stand any of them, not that I love Republicans as they have betrayed
the people, too. Didn’t want to be Independent, and not be able to vote in primaries.
As people arrived and we greeted them, I was very happy to hear thank you and interest in different issues
I had told them about, The overall mood was the Dems have over-reached and Obama has managed to offend,
piss off or insult people of every age group. They all are impressed with the rapid rise of the Tea Party, and
looking forward to what they may be able to do, as they are fed up with the usual crap that is American politics.
They were angry about Pat Murphy’s attempt at voter fraud.
Most of them like Sarah, all of them think the media will try to destroy her.
The seniors are getting the wills in order in case Gov. Care is not killed, as they probably will be.
No one wants the government messing with the Internet.
All being good parents, none have fat children, and don’t like Moochelle and the food police.
Let me say here, I begged all these people not to vote for O. They wouldn’t listen and thought he was something
entirely different than what he is, an empty suit.
Clearly, they feel duped.
This makes me optimistic for 2012.
I hope this report helps to give you some insight on the state of the Dems in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
Regards,
Patti
FABULOUS: Ben Nelson, the whore of the Senate, trails badly in 2012 matchup
The people of Nebraska remain disgusted by Ben Nelson, the whore of the Senate, and what he did on Christmas Eve 2009 when he sold his vote for Obamacare to the White House for a massive infusion of pork…turning the people of Nebraska into welfare queens. Since then, whenever Nelson and his family have gone out to eat in restaurants, Nebraskans have shouted “whore”, “slut”, and other pejoratives at him…and his face has been plastered all over the state dolled up like the Joker.
May Nebraskan memories last into 2012 and beyond.
Every Democrat who voted for Obamacare needs to be defeated in 2012 if they are up for re-election. We need to go after them in 2014 and 2016 as well, until every last one of these people is removed from office.
Ben Nelson and Claire McCaskill are two of the big targets.
Obamas to Americans: “You are fat, eat too many desserts, and need to listen to us”. Obamas to Island Snow: “We’ll have two dozen snow cones with everything on them”.
Whenever the Obamas go on one of their many, seemingly non-stop, vacations, they eat just about every local treat in sight, “crusade against other people’s obesity” be damned.
In Hawaii, the Obamas stopped off at Island Snow, where they ordered dozens of snow cones for themselves and their retinue.
Dozens!
Snow cones are made from large amounts of sugary syrup poured over shaved ice.
That syrup is no doubt composed of high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavorings and color, and all the other things Michelle Antoinette Obama routinely tells Americans they can’t have.
Maybe that’s because the Obamas think there’s more for them that way.
Hope!
Change!
Hypocrisy!

Disturbing if true: Has Adam Andrzejewski hired members of “Rose’s Thorns” to work for him (and presumably employ Alinsky tactics against fellow Republicans in Illinois)?
A man who can get Lech Walesa to endorse him for an Illinois gubernatorial race should make better hiring decisions for his staff than he's made recently.
I’m a big fan of Adam Andrzejewski (name pronounced Adam NGF-ski), who ran for Governor of Illinois earlier this year.
He didn’t make it through the primary, but had a decent showing, based on Tea Party and other grassroots support. He is a very nice guy, and was persuasive enough to convince Lech Walesa to fly in from Poland to campaign for him. At Republican events in Chicago, he was always humble, kind, funny, and willing to engage anyone who’d talk to him in spirited discussions on the economic state of Illinois.
Today I heard from someone in the Cook County GOP that Adam Andrzejewski has made some unfortunate recent hiring decisions, bringing on staff at least one of the young men involved in the summer 2010 Cook County/Chicago Young Republican sex scandal (and subsequent coverup).
If true, this is surprising, since Andrzejewski will need women’s support if he intends to run for any other elected offices…and it’s hard to believe Democrats wouldn’t hit Andrzejewski hard for having on staff anyone who was involved in the CYR scandal. This summer, Democrat women like Sara Feigenholtz, Jan Schakowsky, Iris Martinez, and Karen Yarbrough held a big press conference on July 30th demanding the Cook County GOP clean house and address the coverup of what they called “sexual misconduct by a top GOP leader”.
Not long after this press conference, Illinois GOP Chair Pat Brady and Cook County GOP Chair Lee Roupas terminated a charismatic young high school graduate who’d conned his way into the Cook County organization, despite not only lacking any sort of college degree, but being terminated from the campaigns and political organizations of Matt Murphy and Dan Proft for unsavory, Alinsky-grade attacks on fellow Republicans in the past.
While the GOP in Illinois is dysfunctional by nature, it’s really playing with fire in terms of a bumper crop of Alinsky-favoring, young, entitled boys who’ve wormed their way into the party’s organization in this state. These guys drink hard, think only of themselves, and treat women as commodities to be used, abused, and traded. The 2010 CYR sex scandal is a mere foreshadowing of what these guys (who call themselves “Rose’s Thorns) are capable of, if Republicans are foolish enough to give them enough rope to hang the party.
While they are waiting for Mittens Romney to hire them for his 2012 campaign, these guys are seeking work with other politicians in Illinois…and it seems like Andrzejewski could have fallen for their latest con.
It’s a shame, because Andrzejewski is desperate to expand his footing and name recognition in Chicago, where he didn’t do anywhere as well as he thought he’d do in the GOP primary for Governor earlier this year. It looks like Rose’s Thorns sold themselves as the solution Andrzewjewski needed to solve his Chicago problem…but he may not have done his due diligence in this hiring.
Dan Proft, Matt Murphy, Lee Roupas, and Pat Brady should have filled Andrzejewski in on what he was getting himself into, and who he was going to bed with politically.
Mittens Romney should be very careful about hiring Rose’s Thorns for 2012 as well.
Past behavior, especially towards women, is not just precedent but is real predictor in this case.
What does it say about Andrzejewski and Romney if they hire any man who’s been subject of a Democrat women’s press conference on sexual assault?
****************************
UPDATE: 12 noon 12/28/10
Adam Andrzewjewski himself emailed me a few minutes ago to deny employing any members of “Rose’s Thorns” on his personal staff or with his political organization.
He did admit, however, that the charismatic high school graduate known as “The Prophet” here in Chicago did work for a third party consulting firm that Andrzewjewski hired to do a project for his PAC earlier this year. At the time of this project, Andrzewjewski did not know The Prophet was working for that company. If he did know of The Prophet’s involvement, it seems Andrzejewski would not have hired that third party firm.
Today, when he read this story about members of “Rose’s Thorns”, Andrzejewski called the third party consulting firm to ask if any of these people were employed there, and he learned that “The Prophet” was no longer on staff, as of sometime before Christmas.
Andrzejewski was not pleased to learn people in Chicago believed he was affiliated with “The Prophet” or any of “Rose’s Thorns” in any way. This is not who Andrzejewski is, what he represents, or the sort of politics he endorses.
As noted repeatedly, I firmly believe Adam Andrzewjewski is one of the good guys…something he proved by being so on top of clearing up talk in Chicago of him employing “Rose’s Thorns” and endorsing their tactics against fellow Republicans and private citizens. I think Andrzewjewski is a future Governor or Senator here in Illinois and am heartened he’s taken a zero tolerance towards all members of “Rose’s Thorns”.
Hopefully, all politicians in Illinois, and nationwide, will feel the same way and this Billionaire Boys Club-wannabe outfit will be forced to find something else to do with themselves, with no positions in politics open to them and their Alinsky tactics.
Why the “Bill Richardson to replace Hillary Clinton” rumor is garbage. Quick answer: she hates him, and people she hates don’t get to replace her. See also: HRH Princess Caroline of Kennedy
On a scale of 1-10, the Clintons hate Bill Richardson at level 10. They will not allow this man to be Secretary of State. He will be lucky if he gets to Assistant Manage an Arby's somewhere. Someday.
HotAir and Breitbart TV have been running one of the stupidest rumors I’ve seen about Hillary Clinton in a while — that she is leaving the State Department and Bill Richardson is going to replace her.
You need to understand something about Hillary Clinton, and you need to apply this understanding to everything she does in life: when she hates someone, she makes sure that person never gets what he or she wants. Ever. That person goes on a list, and everyone who is loyal to the Clintons does his or her part to make sure life becomes a living, perpetual Hell for that person. It’s sort of a game people in Hillaryland play. And it sure beats Yahtzee, let me tell you.
It’s really fun, actually.
I got to help play back in December 2008 when I went to New York for the “Conversation with Hillary Clinton” event America Ferrara hosted as one of the last official Hillary for President fundraising events. This was a Q&A session, moderated by Ferrara, similar to the Actors Studio TV show James Lipton hosts, but instead of a Hollywood star it was soon-to-be Secretary of State Clinton talking about her life, personal stories from Arkansas, the White House, and the 2008 campaign, and just being her self. It was marvelous.
The audience was packed with Hillary supporters, and before the event began the topic of conversation in the theater was what all of us could do to make sure anvils, grand pianos, and battleships landed square on the head of HRH Princess Caroline of Kennedy — like she was the coyote in a Warner Bros. cartoon — as she made her power play to replace Hillary Clinton as Senator in the state of New York (the office HRC vacated to become Secretary of State).
With immense personal delight, Hillary supporters offered up all the things they could do to Princess Caroline, to embarrass her, to scare away her potential donors, and to pressure New York Governor David Paterson to humiliate her and openly defy the Kennedy family in public.
At that “Conversation with Hillary” event, all sorts of plots and schemes were hatched to prevent Princess Caroline getting her way…and in the end, we succeeded impressively. Princess Caroline’s most ardent supporters relented that “everything that was special about her has been destroyed…she is finished now”.
Serves her right for backstabbing Hillary Clinton, the woman who had always been so kind to Princess Caroline, during the 2008 primary campaign.
On a scale of 1-10, Hillary Clinton personally hates Caroline Kennedy at about a 5.
Bill Richardson, on the other hand, is at a 10 on both of the Clintons’ hate lists.
You are out of your damn mind if you think for even an instant the Clintons would allow Bill Richardson to become Secretary of State. If they kept Princess Caroline from being not only a Senator, but also an Ambassador in the Obama Administration (remember, Princess had asked, through intermediaries, to be Ambassador to the Court of St. James, Ambassador to France, or (her last choice) Ambassador to the Vatican, but she was denied all of these posts), then don’t you think they would prevent Richardson from becoming Secretary of State.
Remember, Richardson asked for this position when he backstabbed the Clintons in 2008, endorsing Obama instead of HRC. This was his supposed 30 pieces of silver. One of the reasons HRC took the SoS position, in my personal opinion, was to prevent Richardson (and John Kerry, too) from having it for himself.
Hillary Clinton is like that.
Those of you who have hated her for all these years have missed the opportunity of observing one of the most interesting and entertaining grudge-holders in American history at the top of her game. If you are loyal to her, she will move mountains to help you and never forget what you’ve done for her. If you backstab her, she will put you on “The List”, and her loyalists will work tirelessly every day to do whatever they can to take you down. In creative, soul-crushing, often publicly humiliating ways.
This kind of loyalty and love for one woman, whom her supporters see as being so very wronged, is an American equivalent of the supporters of Catherine of Aragon…the woman cast aside by Henry VIII in favor of the newer and flashier model that was the (doomed) Ann Boleyn. Catherine’s supporters were legion, and though they had to operate underground, they never disappeared, remaining her loyalists for the rest of her life (and even long after). They had secret handshakes, symbols, committees of correspondence, and various plots and schemes that led to the downfall of Boleyn in the end…as well as all those who installed her in Catherine’s place.
Welcome to Hillaryland…and the neverending clandestine quest by her loyalists to punish the Obamas, his presidency, and people like Princess Caroline and Bill Richardson who stabbed her in the back in 2008.
Bill Richardson is lucky if, someday, far in the future, he’s able to become so much as the Assistant Manager of a medium-peforming Arby’s off an interstate somewhere.
No matter what Hotair, Breitbart TV, or Korean media says….trust me, this is the truth.
