President Obama : Transparent? No Way!

Barack Obama knows if we find out just who he is, it will scare us to death. What other reason could there be to hide all of his past life? He is hiding something from us and I know what it is but I can't come to grips it.

Life in these United States has always been a dream - what I fear now is that when we have the information on Obama it will turn into a nightmare. Some of the nightmare is already coming true.

We are finding out first hand that he isn't what or who he said he was during the campaign, and this information has started a grass roots anger that has not been seen in this country for decades. So having the actual documentation might not mean that much now but would only confirm what we know to be the real Obama.

Keep the faith - attend the Town House meeting and express your thoughts and dreams.

Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate: Why It Matters

Where was Barack Obama born? It’s a fair question.

But we still don’t know the answer because Obama won’t tell us, because he remains the most mysterious man ever to sit in the Oval Office.

This week I appeared on Bill O’Reilly’s No. 1 rated “The O’Reilly Factor” to discuss the controversy over Obama’s birth certificate, along with syndicated radio host Mike Gallagher. [See the video of my appearance — Click Here Now.]

Let me make clear that I believe Obama was born somewhere in the state of Hawaii. Days after his birth, a small legal notice was printed in the local newspaper announcing his birth.
And the head of Hawaii's Health Department has stated that he reviewed pertinent documents and that Obama was indeed born in that state.

So, those who believe Obama was born outside the United States, such as in Kenya, are simply out to lunch. But the real story here is about Obama’s failure to release his birth certificate.
As the state of Hawaii has made clear, the actual birth certificate has never been released.
Obama has released another document, the certification of live birth. This document does not provide basic information, such as the place of Obama’s birth or the doctor who conducted the procedure.

My brother Dan, a presidential historian who has a book coming out next year on Theodore Roosevelt, pointed out to me how rare Obama is among presidents. He says we have no idea of his birthplace.

Dan notes that, of our unbroken line of 43 men who have served as president, only Zachary Taylor and Andrew Jackson, both born on the frontier, have disputed birth sites. All others have some commemoration for their place of birth — except Obama.

In Manhattan, you can stroll down to 28 E. 20th St., between Park Avenue South and Broadway, and visit the quaint brownstone that Theodore Roosevelt was born and raised in.
For Obama there is no plaque, nothing. (His family has given two different hospitals in Hawaii he was alleged to have been born in.)
We should know where our president was born. There is nothing conspiratorial in having an answer to that question. President Obama is no longer a private citizen. He is part of a chain of history that stretches back to George Washington.

His birth site is just as relevant as those of the 42 men who came before him, and if these sites are not relevant, than why do we as a nation go out of our way to commemorate all of them?
When I asked Bill O’Reilly where in Honolulu Obama was born, he replied: “Chris, if I wanted to know I’d find out tomorrow . . .” Good luck, Bill. The Obama White House is the most secretive ever.

Since Obama announced his candidacy, much of his life has been shrouded in secrecy.
He still has never released his college transcripts, his records as a state legislator in Illinois, his full medical records, even the names of donors who reportedly contributed hundreds of millions of dollars that helped make him president.

In the past, the disclosure of such documents has been de rigueur for presidential candidates.
When Sen. John McCain was questioned about his birth outside the United States in the Panama Canal Zone, he released his birth certificate quickly. When McCain was questioned about his health, he released 1,500 pages of medical records. When questions arose about donations to his campaign, McCain put his full donor file, even names he didn’t have to disclose, online for anyone to see.

So, let me be clear. The issue over Obama’s birth certificate is not about President Obama’s citizenship. It is about his honesty and his promise to be the most transparent president ever.
Releasing his birth certificate and other personal records that presidents have traditionally released to the public would go a long way toward bolstering those claims.
