#1 Not this again.

#2 Why can't the guy jsut produce the birth certificate and end all this stuff? I think Obama gets more political hay out of it by pulling the extreme edge out of the woodwork in order to tar anyone who opposes him. I certainly hope its not for the reasons some say; talk about a constitutional crisis... Honduras here we come.

#3 If this guy is that whacked, I don't know if I want him in Afghanistan.

#4 Hey, Army culture dictates the rules down to the length you wear your fingernails. You think people with those exacting standards would summarily forgive a possibly bunk birth certificate? I sure don't---- as ca-ra-zy as this soldier sounds, he is making his point. More power to him.

#5 Obama isn't the reason for your orders Major - this is, literally an Act of Congress, note Sec 2.(b)(1) well. You have a choice, obey the order or resign the commission.

#6 I suspect that the Maj is 18 or 19 years in service, and they announced he is going to be RIF'ed, screwing him out of his retirement. You know that kind of crap happens all the time, by penny ante Pentagon bureaucrats.

So, he figures to create a controversy, and get his file flagged, then once he makes his 20 to bow out gracefully and take his retirement.

#9 Yes, there is some tit for tat backstory that is motivating this especially given our "give you one hundred dollars, take back ninety-nine bureaucracy."

#10 Puleeze Play four keeps, he's been deployed before I guarantee. Cowardice is a quality beside the point. He is pissed off about something enough to jeopardize hard work he's done over time, something is up to make him do that, even if it is under the guise of the bunk birth certificate.

Facts never end malicious rumors and conspiracies. By the way, if you've been having problems with your wife, I have chewing gum you might be interested in. "double your pleasure, double your fun, with double mint, double mint, double mint gum" as they say.

#14 Yeah, mark me down as "tired of the crazy". Enough with this crap, people.

Keep your powder dry for when he pulls something *real* and exposeable. Either he will - and y'all are right about him being a constitutional threat - or he's just a fucking coward, in which case we'll be rid of him in three years and change.

Meanwhile, we're setting ourselves up to be collective boys-wot-cried-wolf. Let's not get eaten by the big nasty on account of fools spooked by imaginary lycanthropes.

#15 Yes, Steve - Stanley Ann. What, you weren't tired of that little bit of clownishness by the end of the 2008 campaign? Something about her parents wanting a boy, and naming her after dear old Dad.

Sorry to burst your bubble Moose, but by law if the date of separation falls upon or after their day which completes 18th year of service, they're keepers till they hit 20 and retirement unless they're removed from service for cause [as in courts martial]. Congress closed that little administrative loophole a long time ago because of that kind of administrative abuse.

Don't worry, there is enough other kinds of administrative abuse to go around ;-)

#19 The birth certificate at snopes.com is not the format used by Hawaii at the time of Obama's birth. The fonts were not even created at that time. The governor of Hawaii sealed the certificate during the campaign so no one would be able to access the document. This confirms it was never released and the snopes document is a fraud.

#20 Oh, please, Herb! I had to apply for a dupe of my birth certificate from the state of Arizona, since I lost my original. The dupe was a computer printout summary of the original handwritten/typed late 60's document (the original had a lot more info on it than my current one does).

I guess that makes me a noncitizen too, eh? Thanks for clearing that up.....

#21 Enough with the nonsense about Obama's BC.

He's an American citizen. He was born in Hawaii. His mother was an American.

The BC presented in public is on the correct form used these days for electronically-prepared BCs in that state. I was born in Washington DC, and my most recent request for a BC generated one that looks very similar to his.

BCs are generally sealed precisely to keep snoops from poking around. That's as it should be.

I don't particularly like Barack Obama. I'm not happy he was elected president. But he's our president, and he's an American citizen. Enough already.

#22 Zombie of Zombietime fame has come up with an interesting hypothesis for why the Zero will not release the original 1961 document: Zombie thinks it might indicate "race" as "white." In the context of the time, this might have been considered helpful to the little guy, and it was a 50/50 choice either way.

Yeah, what he said. It is time to move on to the greater question of whether He is the anti-Christ like Aunt Mabel says.

#25 The Major is up doodoo creek. Obama is definitely American citizen by genetics if not by ideology.

#26 I doubt it. I would expect the antichrist to be more impressive and able to give a rousing speech without needing a teleprompter.

#27 Steve White answered why an original be sealed. But if you want occupy the highest office in the land, there is no excuse adequate for not providing a copy of an ORIGINAL document to the electorate. There is nothing wrong with a birth certificate indicating "white". Maybe the document not only says "white" but it also may say "Barry" and not "Barack". Maybe the document lists another man as the "father".

#28 ... whatever the reason, the ORIGINAL is not to be made public per the campaign because information there would be cosidered harmfull to electing the candidate to the office. THAT is sufficient cause to demand that information be made public and to allow the public make the call. Not the campaign.

#29 Herb, enough with this, ok? It has been answered, repeatedly.

(Besides everyone already knows that his real father is Darth Vader, he weighed 20 lbs at birth, and had a vestigial twin attached to his right big toe. Duh!)

BTW, if you think it is so damn easy to get an "original" birth certificate from most jurisdictions.....try it sometime. Really. I was told point blank that I wouldn't be able to get an original copy of my own birth certificate, since all the records had been converted to computer documents. The original doesn't exist.

I couldn't even get one after my own son was born in Florida. They coulda cared less that I was his mama. All they would give me was the abstract, and funny enough, it's been good enough everywhere we have needed to present it.

#30 "BTW, if you think it is so damn easy to get an "original" birth certificate from most jurisdictions.....try it sometime." Got mine in two days. If I wanted a copy of the Original, I could go to the county records building to get a copy of the original. Something Obama could have done during his Christmas holiday in Hawaii this past December.
