As you all know, Donald Trump made a big deal about Obama's birth certificate and the White House released the birth certificate.
I will tell you right now that I had never given this "birther" issue any credit. I watched the hype and the crazies come out. I completely dismissed the entire ordeal altogether. In fact, it was not until the White House released the birth certificate that it had gained my attention.
I am the studious sort of guy, and I have plenty of time on my hands. So, I took a close look at this document. While I would have thought that this issue would have been closed for good (and, got the crazies to crawl back into their holes), I found two extremely strange inconsistencies that merit some attention.
First of all, the birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in "Kenya, East Africa". This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his father's birth. How could have Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the "British East Africa Protectorate". But, this is not the only thing that I found that just does not jive.
Actually, according to Wikipedia, British East Africa became known as Kenya on 12 December 1963 and a year later, 12 December 1964, the Republic of Kenya was proclaimed. (Wikipedia - ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya#History -Post Colonial History)
The other item that I looked into was the hospital that Obama was born in. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital". This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home", respectively. The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?
Go ahead, look it up. I am not talking crazy talk, these are the facts. Like I said, I thought that this was a non-issue until the actual certificate was released. Now that it has been released, of course I had to look into it. I have found these issues, now I know that something is up. If you doubt me, just look at the following resources:
Sure enoughl, the hospital part is true, as you can read about the 1978 merger here. http://www.kapiolani.org/women-and-children/about-us/default.aspx

Post-colonial history
The first direct elections for Africans to the Legislative Council took place in 1957. Despite British hopes of handing power to "moderate" African rivals, it was the Kenya African National Union (KANU) of Jomo Kenyatta that formed a government shortly before Kenya became independent on 12 December 1963, on the same day forming the first Constitution of Kenya.[36] During the same year, the Kenyan army fought the Shifta War against ethnic Somalis who wanted Kenya's NFD joined with the Republic of Somalia. The Shiftas were defeated in 1967.[citation needed] To discourage further invasions, Kenya signed a defence pact with Ethiopia in 1969, which is still in effect.[37]
On 12 December 1964 the Republic of Kenya was proclaimed, and Jomo Kenyatta became Kenya's first president.[38] At Kenyatta's death in 1978, Daniel arap Moi became President. Daniel arap Moi retained the Presidency, being unopposed in elections held in 1979, 1983 (snap elections) and 1988, all of which were held under the single party constitution. The 1983 elections were held a year early, and were a direct result of an abortive military coup attempt on 1 August 1982.
The abortive coup was masterminded by a lowly ranked Air Force serviceman, Senior Private Hezekiah Ochuka and was staged mainly by enlisted men in the Air Force. The attempt was quickly suppressed by Loyalist forces led by the Army, the General Service Unit (GSU) — a paramilitary wing of the police — and later the regular police, but not without civilian casualties. This event led to the disbanding of the entire Air Force and a large number of its former members were either dismissed or court-martialled.
The election held in 1988 saw the advent of the mlolongo (queuing) system, where voters were supposed to line up behind their favoured candidates instead of a secret ballot.[39] This was seen as the climax of a very undemocratic regime and it led to widespread agitation for constitutional reform. Several contentious clauses, including one that allowed for only one political party were changed in the following years.[40] In democratic, multiparty elections in 1992 and 1997, Daniel arap Moi won re-election. In 2002, Moi was constitutionally barred from running, and Mwai Kǐbakǐ, running for the opposition coalition "National Rainbow Coalition" — NARC, was elected President. Anderson (2003) reports the elections were judged free and fair by local and international observers, and seemed to mark a turning point in Kenya's democratic evolution.[41]

Help me with this concept?
I don't understand the concept of non-essential personnel.
If they are non-essential why are companies/governments paying them.
If they are non-essential why are companies/governments paying them.
Current rants about this adminstration
I don't understand why Obama waited this long to release his birth certificate, if its even his real one this time. However, it doesn't even matter whether he was born here or not, don't get me wrong it is a huge deal but for these purposes it is not. There is one single fact that everyone (well media) seems to fail to report or emphasize on, he went to school in Indonesia. Why is that a big deal you say? Well, based on some research I have done (and I may be wrong), at the time that he he was living and attending an Indonesian school they required an Indonesian citizenship. Well because of this law Obama would have had to become a citizen of Indonesia AND the country did not accept dual citizenship at that time, & I'm not sure if they have changed it since, so that would mean his US citizenship would be revoked. So in the end it doesn't matter where he was born, the citizenship was revoked, or in theory it should be. He does have ties to terrorists! Bill Ares, known terrorist, even admitted being friends with Obama after he was elected for President, even though during the campaign it was "debunked" or whatever.
But whatever it may be, even if he is qualified and all this birth certificate is just politics, he is still destroying the country our grandparents, parents, etc. help maintain. I respect the office but I do not respect the man. It's been 2 years and there is nothing to show for it, expect huge bailouts, stimulus, etc. Our debt has nearly doubled since Bush. Ok, Bush added alot to the deficit but that took 8 years, Obama added almost the same amount in less than 2-3 years!!! Maybe even more with his health-care overhaul. Not to mention his backdoor deals to give our money to foreign countries to drill for oil (*cough Brazil) and then make the deal so great for that country that we get nothing out of it!
Oh what about the oil crisis, he took his good old time trying to fix it but had plenty of time to make it into a political issue. Why not fix it first then do the politics of it all. I believe Obama used the crisis to his advantage to drive the issue of green energy. Bush had an oil crisis, yeah it was smaller but he wasted no time to fix it. He did what needed to be done but no, this administration says did not even accept help from other countries because of some technicality of some old law that says American unions need to be on the ships in order to help, I don't remember exact law but I remember that was the excuse. Well, why couldn't the man just give an executive order lifting the law temporarily just like Bush did during his oil crisis. I guess this administration doesn't care about getting things done, just looking good and blowing smoke up our ass.
Look it the world now, gas is going up and he's telling Saudi Arabia to increase its production. Seriously!? Our country is more of a mockery now than ever. Ok, Bush had his flaws but at least he stepped in and fixed gas prices, yeah they went up but eventually his administration got it back down, this joker now, I'm sure he's letting it get this high to again promote Green Energy. Why not? What better time to promote something, its a crisis people will eat it up and say...yeah...we need to do green energy. The thing that gets me is that if Bush was in office, people would crucify him but since it's not Bush, "oh, that's ok..Obama's trying" fuck that shit! How are you going to hold people to 2 different standards. Ok, I need to stop. There will be more later.

Movie review - Limitless
Very good movie about taking a drug that can open our ability to use the full potential of our brain...but at what cost? The main character is a writer who has not produced a descent book in a long time, behind on rent, etc. He is about to lose everything in his life until a magic pill turns his life around. With every good thing in life there is a side effect...
Movie review - Source Code
It is a good movie that keeps the audience guessing until the end. This movie is about a machine called the source code that can in essence relives the last 8 minutes of a given person's life almost like an avatar because a "pilot" is the person in their last 8 minutes. The idea is to use those last minutes to solve crimes, which in the movie revolves around a train explosion.
Movie review - Catfish
It is an ok movie, but I wouldn't buy it. It is a documentary about a guy who friends a little girl on facebook and starts suspecting something is up when she introduces him to her 19 year old seductive sister. He starts having a facebook relationship with the 19 year old and even some phone conversations but anytime he mentions about meeting up in person (even though he's on the east coast and she is in the midwest). That is the whole first half pretty much in a nutshell. The second half picks up when he decides to surprise the 8 year old for her birthday (well using that as an excuse to meet the 19). I will leave it at that so I do not give away too much incase someone actually wants to watch this. Its not as great as the hype made it out to be. Once you hit the peak of the movie you end up going wtf!

1% proposed tax on transactions!!
I urge you to read this and pass it on! This will kill our economy
Hard to believe! What is happening to us?
WATCH OUT - HERE IT COMES AND THERE GOES YOUR HARD EARNED MONIES - JUST SO THEY CAN SPEND IT
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-4646
One percent transaction tax is proposed President Obama's finance team is recommending a transaction tax. His plan is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution. e. Banks, Credit Unions, extra. Any deposit you make, or move around within your account, i.e., transfer to, will have a 1% tax charged. If your pay check or your social Security or whatever is direct deposit, 1% tax charged. If you hand carry a check in to deposit, 1% tax charged, If you take cash in to deposit, 1% tax charged. This is from the man who promised that if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax.
Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn.
OK, here you are, be sure to check out H.R. 4646
2/23/2010--Introduced. SUMMARY
Debt Free America Act - States as purposes of this Act the raising of sufficient revenue from a fee on transactions to eliminate the national debt within seven years and the phasing out of the individual income tax. Amends the Internal Revenue Code to impose a 1% fee, offset by a corresponding nonrefundable income tax credit, on transactions that use a payment instrument, including any check, cash, credit card, transfer of stock, bonds, or other financial instrument. Defines "transaction" to include retail and wholesale sales, purchases of intermediate goods, and financial and intangible transactions. Establishes in the legislative branch the Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action to review the fiscal imbalance of the federal government and make recommendations to improve such imbalance. Provides for expedited consideration by Congress of Task Force recommendations. Repeals after 2017 the individual income tax, refundable and nonrefundable personal tax credits, and the alternative minimum tax (AMT) on individuals. Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to: (1) prioritize the repayment of the national debt to protect the fiscal stability of the United States; and (2) study and report to Congress on the implementation of this Act.
THIS 1% in essence is going to be 2% because depositing = 1% and withdrawing = 1% (1+1 = 2%) THIS IS HAS GOT TO STOP. I urge you to write to your local representative urge them to go against this new proposed bill before it is too late!
Oh yeah and this new tax is supposed to get rid of our deficit in 7 years & eventually phase out the income tax!? That is the final wording I’ve found on that. Originally it was supposed to be to offset the bailouts that we gave the bank and other industries. Well if its to reduce the deficit then apparently the Obama administration can’t seem to do simple math. Based on last year's estimates of ($755 trillion in sales/transactions) the government will get over $7.5 trillion in revenue and that's not even including money from the 1% on deposits and withdraws, etc. that's just sales!!

FRIEND COMMENT1:
I've got an idea...... let's limit the number of vacations our government takes in a year. Specifically Obama, oh, and reduce their salaries to the typical American salary, see if they can survive on it. That should bring the deficit down.
MY RESPONSE:
YES! How many vacations has this man been on this year alone? I think my dad and I counted 7... or 8!! & majority of it was in a span of 3 months I think because what he went to Maine, then his wife went to Spain while he went to Middle East area, then golf somewhere? That is a bunch of bullshit! You know if Bush did that he would have been burned at the stake, then brought back to life somehow and then crucified!! Idk how many vacations is normal for a President but come one I know 7 or 8 is way too much. I mean Bush got shit for going on vacations but apparently no one gives a shit about what Obama is doing! & then his wife going on her own vacation right after their family vacation!
You brought up salaries well I have to include this next part lol:
~~~~
I know many of you will say, "this is impossible". Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress - the entity that represents us.
We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House. These people will become American heroes..
THIS SHOULD BE A NEW LAW/REFORM!! NEVER WILL BE BUT JUST FOR HUMOR!
.Congressional Reform Act of 2010
1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms
***Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.****
2. No Tenure / No Pension:
A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress loses its current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.
8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen; Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

FRIEND COMMENT2:
Obama has taken a total of 7 vacations *that I know of* and on our watch or rather the failed stimulus packages (you know there's money "missing" fr...om some of them, gee wonder where it went). Also, Bush was burned sooooo badly about Katrina, yes, it was a horrible tragedy but look at the flood in Tennessee, and quite a few other disasters Obama has done nothing about. Celebrities helped clean up the flood in Tennessee where was Obama? On vacation. Where was the media slamming him for not doing anything about Tennessee or better yet, when he told them "no" when they asked for funds to clean up. The media is so fair isn't it? The media isn't bias at all, not one bit, right? (<--- sarcasm).
Wow, I didn't know that about the Congress, good to know :) Also, it's funny how Obama is going around promoting Senators, offering contests to voters so they can meet him. Has he done this in your state? He's done it in mine for Murray *vomits a little*, in my opinion it's the smartest thing he can do, so we know who NOT to vote for! I can't believe people still think this guy is doing a good job. It's not their fault though, they don't want to spend the time it takes to do research, and the news isn't a good source of truth. HAHAHAHA @ that video, amazing isn't it? I'm so posting that to my wall, hope you don't mind. Really annoying, how people still blame Bush when he's not in office anymore, but they figure Obama does it so why can't they? It's all Bush's fault, it had nothing to do with Clinton right? (*gasp* yes, I brought Clinton into this) The media makes me laugh, they say left wingers are bad, did you know that Nazi's were considered leftists? Socialism is a leftist idea... that's what Hitler wanted... funny isn't it?
MY RESPONSE:
Yeah, for sure money is missing! I mean its like they gave the money to a child asked them to bring back receipts but forgot to write down how much they gave the child, which then leaves a great room for error on a true measurement of how much money they spent. Does that make sense? They questioned the secretary in charge of the bailout money and someone asked how much is left or how much was distributed (I forget which question was asked) and the woman didn't even know she stuttered!!? Here she is in charge of the money and she doesn't even have a clue where it is, who it went to, how much was paid back, etc!!
Omg don't get me started on oil crisis in Gulf! well, too late..lol Obama handled that oil spill in the worst possible way. Instead of fixing the problem and then bitching at the people responsible, he bitches at them and does nothing to fix the problem. Plus nobody seems to recall that Obama sent the Swat Team to the oil rig and had them block it off for a good I think it was few hours but it may have been days and then just left the site without any disclosure as to what the hell they were there for. We, and by that I mean the US Navy, had the technology to fix that oil leak, over 40 years ago!! My dad was in the Navy in the 60's and said they had special equipment to fix leaks like that. There was also the 20 or so countries that offered to help us, countries like the Scandinavian countries that have the best, most advanced tech to fix oil spills because their area is much much rougher than the Gulf.
So what does our leader do? He says no!! Why? because of some stupid law in 1920's, Jones Act I believe its called. That states that no foreign ship can be in US waters unless the ship is under union control or owned by a US citizen. Really!!? He denied help that probably could have fixed it in less than a month because of a stupid law, that if you recall Bush signed an executive order to lift the Jones Act for a bit when the Alaskan oil spill happened. He had that situation under control in no time. Yeah, it was less oil and it was limited supply but it was also worse type of oil than the rig explosion, refined oil is very hard to breakdown naturally but crude oil straight from nature/unaltered can be absorbed by bacteria thus recovery time is essentially reduced. Which is why, now if you look at the area, the scientists are baffled by the lack of oil that they were initially saying was going to ruin the ecosystem for a very long time!
Anyways, Obama goes against help, sends attorneys to BP and pretty much starts an act of War against Britain (BP is British, so technically by attacking them with threats could constitute an act of war). Spends all this money trying to punish BP even though they claimed responsibility, Obama made it sound like we are punishing them by "making them pay for the damages" That was all bullshit from Obama's end, BP was already going to pay...and actually if anything Obama screwed investors and the income tax revenue and helped BP make money or at least not lose as much bc he forced them not to pay dividends (so money stays with company, & BP gets to write off a huge expense (great tax benefit. So yeah, in the end Obama wasted money fighting BP legally, didn't do shit to fix oil leak (as fast as he could anyways), ruined people's income from BP dividends. To be honest, I think he used the oil spill to further his political agenda against offshore drilling. Like "See, offshore drilling is bad, look what happened there". So I'm certain that Obama probably prolonged the leak as long as he could, while still looking like he was doing something (and by that I mean he talked which is all he's really good at). But I guess that's just me the weird, crazy, conspiracy nut..lol Wow, I just wrote alot lol.
The media doesn't cover anything anymore, never really did. We have all these different ways to get information and spread information more efficiently and yet the media fails to cover the most important topics, like the start of this thread the 1% tax (that's pretty huge!), or the true nature of the healthcare reform, and the Wall Street reform, or like you said Tennessee flood; but oh the great Obama can support Palestine when they have a flood!? or like you said go on vacation for the hundredth time! So a guy that claims to be American and for the people, is supporting that region more-so than his own country. Just where is allegiance? Doesn't seem like it's our country. Its not just him our government as a whole needs to stop hemorrhaging money to other countries as aid. We need it ourselves and the countries we give it to most of the time are against us!
About the video, yeah, I checked out a bunch of the pjtv.com stuff, its funny and informative. I like the Glenn Beck, Rush, and Coulter one by pjtv.com
Alright, I wrote enough for now lol...I am starting to miss spell as I type, probably a good sign that I'm tired. So I'm off to bed. It was nice sharing ideas again been too long. I'm glad I'm getting this out and you listening and contributing instead of ignoring me and saying I'm crazy...lol Well good night

Has he done this in your state? He's done it in mine for Murray *vomits a little*, in my opinion it's the smartest thing he can do, so we know who NOT to vote for! I can't believe people still think this guy is doing a good job. It's not their fault though, they don't want to spend the time it takes to do research, and the news isn't a good source of truth. HAHAHAHA @ that video, amazing isn't it? I'm so posting that to my wall, hope you don't mind. Really annoying, how people still blame Bush when he's not in office anymore, but they figure Obama does it so why can't they? It's all Bush's fault, it had nothing to do with Clinton right? (*gasp* yes, I brought Clinton into this) The media makes me laugh, they say left wingers are bad, did you know that Nazi's were considered leftists? Socialism is a leftist idea... that's what Hitler wanted... funny isn't it?
MY RESPONSE:
Yeah, for sure money is missing! I mean its like they gave the money to a child asked them to bring back receipts but forgot to write down how much they gave the child, which then leaves a great room for error on a true measurement of how much money they spent. Does that make sense? They questioned the secretary in charge of the bailout money and someone asked how much is left or how much was distributed (I forget which question was asked) and the woman didn't even know she stuttered!!? Here she is in charge of the money and she doesn't even have a clue where it is, who it went to, how much was paid back, etc!!
Omg don't get me started on oil crisis in Gulf! well, too late..lol Obama handled that oil spill in the worst possible way. Instead of fixing the problem and then bitching at the people responsible, he bitches at them and does nothing to fix the problem. Plus nobody seems to recall that Obama sent the Swat Team to the oil rig and had them block it off for a good I think it was few hours but it may have been days and then just left the site without any disclosure as to what the hell they were there for. We, and by that I mean the US Navy, had the technology to fix that oil leak, over 40 years ago!! My dad was in the Navy in the 60's and said they had special equipment to fix leaks like that. There was also the 20 or so countries that offered to help us, countries like the Scandinavian countries that have the best, most advanced tech to fix oil spills because their area is much much rougher than the Gulf.
So what does our leader do? He says no!! Why? because of some stupid law in 1920's, Jones Act I believe its called. That states that no foreign ship can be in US waters unless the ship is under union control or owned by a US citizen. Really!!? He denied help that probably could have fixed it in less than a month because of a stupid law, that if you recall Bush signed an executive order to lift the Jones Act for a bit when the Alaskan oil spill happened. He had that situation under control in no time. Yeah, it was less oil and it was limited supply but it was also worse type of oil than the rig explosion, refined oil is very hard to breakdown naturally but crude oil straight from nature/unaltered can be absorbed by bacteria thus recovery time is essentially reduced. Which is why, now if you look at the area, the scientists are baffled by the lack of oil that they were initially saying was going to ruin the ecosystem for a very long time!
Anyways, Obama goes against help, sends attorneys to BP and pretty much starts an act of War against Britain (BP is British, so technically by attacking them with threats could constitute an act of war). Spends all this money trying to punish BP even though they claimed responsibility, Obama made it sound like we are punishing them by "making them pay for the damages" That was all bullshit from Obama's end, BP was already going to pay...and actually if anything Obama screwed investors and the income tax revenue and helped BP make money or at least not lose as much bc he forced them not to pay dividends (so money stays with company, & BP gets to write off a huge expense (great tax benefit. So yeah, in the end Obama wasted money fighting BP legally, didn't do shit to fix oil leak (as fast as he could anyways), ruined people's income from BP dividends. To be honest, I think he used the oil spill to further his political agenda against offshore drilling. Like "See, offshore drilling is bad, look what happened there". So I'm certain that Obama probably prolonged the leak as long as he could, while still looking like he was doing something (and by that I mean he talked which is all he's really good at). But I guess that's just me the weird, crazy, conspiracy nut..lol Wow, I just wrote alot lol.
The media doesn't cover anything anymore, never really did. We have all these different ways to get information and spread information more efficiently and yet the media fails to cover the most important topics, like the start of this thread the 1% tax (that's pretty huge!), or the true nature of the healthcare reform, and the Wall Street reform, or like you said Tennessee flood; but oh the great Obama can support Palestine when they have a flood!? or like you said go on vacation for the hundredth time! So a guy that claims to be American and for the people, is supporting that region more-so than his own country. Just where is allegiance? Doesn't seem like it's our country. Its not just him our government as a whole needs to stop hemorrhaging money to other countries as aid. We need it ourselves and the countries we give it to most of the time are against us!
About the video, yeah, I checked out a bunch of the pjtv.com stuff, its funny and informative. I like the Glenn Beck, Rush, and Coulter one by pjtv.com
Alright, I wrote enough for now lol...I am starting to miss spell as I type, probably a good sign that I'm tired. So I'm off to bed. It was nice sharing ideas again been too long. I'm glad I'm getting this out and you listening and contributing instead of ignoring me and saying I'm crazy...lol Well good night
