Lt. General McInernery: A Determination On Obama's Birth Certificate Is Absolutely Essential For Determining AWOL Army Doc's Guilt

Well, it is true.

Do I believe Obama was born anywhere but Hawaii? No.

Do I believe he has some secret right to conceal documents establishing his legal capacity to hold high office? No, and an even stronger no.

]t is my opinion that LTC Lakin's request for discovery relating to the President's birth records in Hawaii is absolutely essential to determining not merely his guilt or innocence but to reassuring all military personnel once and for all for this President whether his service as Commander in Chief is Constitutionally proper. He is the one single person in the Chain of Command that the Constitution demands proof of natural born citizenship. This determination is fundamental to our Republic, where civilian control over the military is the rule. According to our Constitution, the Commander in Chief must now, in the face of serious-- and widely held-- concerns that he is ineligible, either voluntarily establish his eligibility by authorizing release of his birth records or this court must authorize their discovery. The invasion of his privacy in these records is utterly trivial compared to the issues at stake here.

Invasion of privacy? There is no "invasion of privacy" concern, just the same as there is no invasion of privacy when I take a job and must show my Social Security card to Human Resources on day one.

I'm getting sort of tired of telling other people they're crazy to want to see this.

They're not crazy. They want to cross the t's and dot the i's.

Why the hell is Obama playing games? You wanted the job, dickhead, so go down to Human Resources and put your friggin' Social Security card on the copying machine like every other person.

And frankly -- why is the MFM carrying the water on him? Precisely when did it become "outrageous" for people to ask for a friggin' birth certificate?

What exactly is the hold-up here, Champ? You're starting to make me worry a little here. I vouched for you on this, Sporto, you know? You gonna embarrass me in front of my friends, or are you going to make a ten minute trip to Kinko's?
