Giving Credit When It's Not Deserved?

In the blog "Give credit where the credit is closed (minded)...," my fellow classmate Wade, writes that President Obama's "triumphs should be regarded and applied to as the further greatness of this country." He writes, "Our President is the symbol of change and potential fairness/equality for every single American." Although, Wade explains that he doesn't agree and approve of all President Obama's policies and decisions, but he does believe that "the president and his party's "agenda" is a sign of positive and bigger steps in a direction of stabilizing this country's nationwide handshake of mutual respect and catapulting global friendship."

On the subject of President Obama, I couldn't disagree more with Wade. Okay yes, President Obama is our first African American president, and maybe he is a "walking cultural landmark," but can that make him a good president? I'm all for the U.S. having a non-white president in office as long he or she is fit for the job. Wade says that he's "not interested in what his birth certificate states." If Obama didn't have anything to hide, why wouldn't he show his birth certificate. Only American-born citizens can become president. If President Obama isn't a natural born citizen of the United States, he shouldn't be allowed the presidential seat.

Wade also states, "President Obama is a sentient collection of hope, change, and inspiration." Hope? During elections, Obama gave many Americans hope. He promised that he would make more jobs and fix our economy. Has he done that? I don't think so. His hope is looking more like "false" hope. Change? Well yes, Obama is the first non-white president, that's a change. Going against the public opinion to try and pass socialized healthcare anyways, that's a change. More government spending which means a rise in taxes for American citizens, that's a change. He sure did promise "change." I just think Americans assumed it would be good change. Inspiration? Yes, President Obama has inspired many people. I'll give it to him. He's the first African American president. He's an inspiration to many minorities in our country. Congratulations, President Obama! You know, he's even inspired me. I am inspired to to truly fight for what I believe in, which opposes President Obama's beliefs. I am inspired to vote because I want to know that I had a part in trying to change his "change." President Obama, thank-you so much for being an inspiration!

So Wade, I guess you are right. Obama really is a collection of (false) hope, (lousy) change, and (surprising) inspiration.

You said that if Obama had nothing to hide he would post his birth certificate.

But he HAS posted his birth certificate.

The Certification of Live Birth is not the original birth certificate. But it is the OFFICIAL birth certificate of Hawaii, and it is the only birth certificate that Hawaii issues, and Hawaii does not send out the original anymore. (http://www.starbulletin.com/columnists/kokualine/20090606_kokua_line.html)

That was the document that Hawaii sent to Obama in 2007, and it is what Hawaii sends to everyone. It no longer sends out copies of the original. Thus, it is the only birth certificate that Obama can post. It is almost certain that he lost the original, or else why ask for a copy in 2007, and Hawaii send him the Certification, so that is all that Obama can show.

However, it is the official birth certificate, accepted as proof of birth in Hawaii by all the departments of Hawaii (Yes, including DHHL; I checked), and it is accepted as proof of birth in the USA by the US State Department and the branches of the military. Hawaii does not, and did not in 1961, allow a birth document of any kind to be issued that said on it "born in Hawaii" unless there was proof that the child was born in Hawaii. Obama's says "born in Hawaii" and the officials in Hawaii have twice confirmed the facts on the document--that Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961--and the governor of Hawaii has confirmed once.

And, by the way, Obama's Kenyan grandmother never said that he was born in Kenya. She said that he was born in Hawaii.

Obama was never an Indonesian citizen, as the Indonesian Embassy in Washington will tell anyone that calls (And the US State Department has said the same thing in a legal filing).
