Chuck Norris Challenges Obama on Birth Certificate
Should have known it wouldn't be long before Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicked his way into the birther controversy. On the heels of World Net Daily's "exclusive" today, the action hero and conservative wingnut has penned an open letter to President Obama, who turns 48 tomorrow, calling on him to release additional evidence that he is indeed an American citizen. Nevermind that a "Certification of Live Birth" (a/k/a the document you or I would use to obtain a license or passport) was released by Obama's campaign, that officials in Hawaii have repeatedly confirmed that he was born there, that Obama's 1961 birth announcement has been unearthed in Hawaii newspapers, that organizations including FactCheck.org have investigated claims that Obama is not a natural-born citizen and determined they're BS—Norris would still like Obama to "request, release and give permission to make public" his original birth certificate. Norris says he doesn't buy into the Obama's-not-a-citizen hoopla per se, but for the good of the nation, if nothing else, he believes the administration should put this whole nasty business to rest once and for all.
From Norris' letter:
Believe it or not, I'm not writing you to challenge whether you were born in America, though I see nothing wrong with the American public voicing that constitutionally based grievance with someone in your esteemed position. As one blogger wrote, after all, "We aren't talking about a 12-year-old qualifying to play Little League here." Or as Ronald Reagan once said, "Trust but verify."
Personally, I must admit that I find it a bit of a groundless stretch not to believe in the birth announcements in two major Hawaiian newspapers in August of 1961, in which the Hawaiian Health Department would have been required to post information they received directly from hospitals: "Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy., son, Aug. 4." Nevertheless, that proof still doesn't answer why you refuse to reveal your original birth certificate and end the growing tides of controversy.
I'm writing you because this is no longer a matter merely about proving a presidential prerequisite in the Constitution. Refusing to post a copy of your original birth certificate is an unwise political and leadership decision that is enabling the birther controversy. The nation you are called to lead is experiencing a growing swell of conspirators who are convinced that you are covering up something. So why not just prove them wrong and shut them up?
If the birther movement is truly full of a bunch of conspiracy-fringed kooks or "zombies," as the Los Angeles Times proclaims, then prove once and for all that you are a naturally born citizen by posting your original birth certificate. And all the controversy will fade away like the pains of childbirth.

Let's see it
I don't understand WHY Obama is spending millions to keep the original birth certificate secret (it's different from the Cert. of Live Birth and has more info on it), as well as why he won't release his Columbia and Harvard transcripts - every other President and Presidential candidate to date has done so. So I ask - what is he hiding?
Certificate of Live Birth
I bet Orly Taitz has one. That's what a birth certificate is called here in CA. Imagine my disgust when I realized that tens of millions, many of whom may be birthers, also possess what they claim to despise. It was because my son was going on a plane for the first time, as he's five months old and without a passport. Guess what? The legal document is called Certificate of Live Birth. Let's see Orly's.
Hiding?
Nothing to hide. Why the heck would anyone take time out to placate every small mind that comes up with a "curiosity" request? As Jesus said about the wicked generation looking for a sign, there will be none. This is not a direct quote. If you need a direct quote, read the book of Mathew.
Should he produce anything that is not required, he will be asked for everything small minds can think up. If they had a "need to know" that would be different. There is no need to know here.
"I don't understand WHY
"I don't understand WHY Obama is spending millions to keep the original birth certificate secret"
Here's the thing. He ISN'T. That's another one of the stories made up by the sites selling bumper sticker and t-shirts, trying to make a buck off of this 'controversy' they created.
BS
It costs $10 to get a copy. If nothing else this shows obamuh is an arrogant son of a bitch. I had to show more documentation to get my job than he has ever showed to get his. Of course, I am not an AA token.
Where are his academic records? We have seen Bush's, Gore's, Kerry's. Why not "The One's"? We keep hearing this crap about how "brilliant" obamuh is and I'm not seeing it.
I'll tell you why - they'd prove he is nothing more than an AA token who has been quota'ed into everything he has ever gotten.
Hey there.
Careful. Your racism is showing.
AA token?
Just goes to show what we've been saying all along. This whole birther wingnut conspiracy theory is all about one thing.
AA token
How does an AA token become President voted by all of us Americans including white America? That is one job that no tokens will ever get depending on white votes. He's more than just an AA token.

To BS
Get bent.
You are damn straight you are not an AA
You are an AH, BS. The evidence is apparent in your statements. Don't be concerned about not seeing his brilliance. It is beyond your capacity. If he is quota'ed, sue him! Go to Kenya and see if his birth certificate is on record there. If you have a real need for his birth certificate, contact Hawaii and tell them you need it. If it only costs $10 pay for it. If you find this difficult, contact your congressman (or woman) for help.

Delusional belief
By definition, delusional beliefs are not subject to change by argument or evidence. The birther movement will only disappear when Republicans like Norris stop wishing it were true. Suck it up Chuck, Obama is our President!
chuck norris is the reason why waldo is hiding
Careful he might kick you in the face with his fist!! No but seriously the fact that all these far right wing conspiracy people take the same B-rated actor from delta force seriously should tell ya something. Their just grasping on to straws but then again, the pregnant asshole in junior is governor.
Great quote from Bill
Great quote from Bill Maher:
"We'll show you Obama's birth certificate if you show us Sarah Palin's high school diploma."
Another great quote from the
Another great quote from the same social philosopher: The birthers wouldn't believe a video of the birth with Don Ho singing in the background.

Race, race, race, race. Race, race, race, race. Race, race, race, etc.....
Something I know from 50 years of personal experience: People like Chuck, who are white, privileged, paranoid, conservative, fundamentalists --- are also completely racist and it just gripes their asses that an erudite, well educated, thoughtful, moderate, BLACK MAN, is the president of the United States.
[OMG! Teh wurld is commin' to an end and the liberals and the black people are going to take 'way allla mah guns, rape me repeatedly and then force us all to have aborshuns against our wills!]
The core of the craziness about Obama is racism, combined with incredible stupidity -- pure and simple.
My advice: Suck it up you racist jerks. You folks forced the rest of us to put up with the mentally challenged Reagan and Bush Jr. and believe me, that was pure horror.
only half black
Cool it. Obama is as much white as he is black. He is only half black. White Americans can claim him also. Some do. Those of you who want to make him 100% black are racist no matter what color you are. He is first of all American. However he and his wife make me green. Yet I am still American.
Obama does not belong to BLACKS! He is president of all. The media is controlling your little minds and you cannot see that you are not even thinking for yourselves on this issue. (On this Issue!)
Norris to see Cranium Specialist
Some guy in a TV show wrote a note. Chuck Norris, in the face of irrefutable evidence, requests yet additional evidence. It's like someone with a full plate of spagetti in front of them asking politely for pasta. Mr Norris may have been kicked in the head one time too many.
HAHAHA
HAHAHA.... oh boy.... HAHAHAHA!!
Fuckin Chuck Norris!
Fuckin Chuck Norris!
The pains of childbirth?
... after which we will take you to our ample big tented creamy white breasts and suckle you lovingly and make funny noises at you. I can't wait to see Glenn Beck's take on this.

What if there is a specific
What if there is a specific reason Mr. Obama doesn't want to "unearth" this certificate?
What if, say, his real mother is not his father's wife and this were a secret to the rest of the family? Wouldn't that be a damn good reason NOT to show his certificate to the world?
I'm not saying that is the case or that there is something else along those lines going on, but what if there were? Why should he have to show that to everyone?
And even if (and the odds are there isn't) there is nothing, I almost feel like I would do the same on principle alone. Nitpicking right-wing nuts need to get lives, and that includes ol' Chuck.
Additionally, I love how
Additionally, I love how it's only because his father is foreign that he is being forced to show his certificate.
I'm sorry, but being a child of immigrants, I can relate to the BS coming from ignorant trash (and trash comes at all economic levels) to this day. I can't count how many times, as a child, I was asked if my (investment banker) father moved us over because he wasn't making enough money selling oranges on street corners. Yep, ignorant trash.

The Genius Named Chuck
The "birther" movement makes about as much sense as the Cuban trade embargo. Since when did "Chuck" become such an expert on Constitutional law? The guy can't even shave much less act.
Chuck for President in 2010 (provided he can actually prove he was born in the USA)
Well said Chuck! ....oops I
Well said Chuck! ....oops I must be on the wrong web site! I'm sure your letter won't stay on it long either....
Again I say..Chuck is correct, polite and without a bite....
CHUCK WAS A MAN
President Obama can look in the mirror and see what the Birthers are "really" saying . I am amazed that Chuck would get his face in this mess . A State has verifyed where President Obama ws born . During the campaign Mr Obama was THOROUGHLY vetted by the news media and all of his opponents . The U.S. Congress and the American people and the News Media watched , accepted , and applauded Mr Obama being sworn in as the President of the United States of America . To NOW say Mr Obama is not a citizen of the U.S. is total ignorance and I am SHOCKED that Chuck would put his face in with these IGNOMINOUS groups . I will never buy anything he endorces . I couldn't trust it to be as advertised .
What do you expect....
from a E-Lister. Chuck is nothing more than a Howard Stern whack packer. He's not even that anymore. Beetlejuice carries more weight than Chuck does.
Keep It Up
As a liberal democrat, the longer that we can keep the Party of No on the defense to defend their looney base, ok 65% of the party, the better it is for America. The Party of No offered has offered no plan for healthcare, stimulus was more tax cuts for the rich, etc.
We have to keep the looney stuff on the front page all of time. That way the country will see the Party of No for what they are which is a bunch of loons.
It wasn't much of a stretch to see in a recent poll that approx 60% of southern Party of No members believed that Obama was either a non-American or strongly leaned that way. African-American haters all the way. God Bless George Wallace and Strom Thurmand and Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III.
This stuff is too good to make up. Keep it on the front page and the Party of No on the No Page.
There we go again...
I really don't see why the President of the United States should have to get up and jump every time some retard out there decides to make some noise based solely on the fact that he can't stand having an African-American as the President of his country. Because let's not kid ourselves, that's what the "birther" "movement" is really all about.
What about the Clintons?
You guys don't think the Clintons would have exposed Obama way back when Hillary still had a chance?
Chuck Roast
This paves the way for a Chuck Norris comeback movie, right?

Isn't it great that there
Isn't it great that there are all these citizens concerned about the constitutionality of the occupation of the White House by the current President? Nothing like a bunch of objective watchdogs patriotically guarding our democracy. But, gosh, where was their concern about Bush and Cheney being residents of the same state and thus constitutionally barred from occupying the White House as President and Vice President?
