The comments, pro and con, about Jerome R. Corsi's book, "Where's the Birth Certificate?" reveal much about both sides of the "birther" argument. On one side you find mostly reasoned debate based on facts, on the other side you largely find innuendo and insults. It would appear that those who trash this book have no better argument than gratuitous insults. If either you write a book about the matter of Mr. Obama's birth certificate, or even read such a book, you can expect to be branded an idiot, a fool or a racist. Ad hominem arguments all.
Those who offer such ad hominem arguments do not (perhaps cannot) understand that they have committed one of the most grievous logical fallacies. They do not realize (perhaps cannot realize) that they reveal nothing but the weakness of their own minds. They would never be able to explain, for example, just why Mr. Obama fought numerous lawsuits seeking access to his birth certificate, this at a cost of well over a million dollars. If the document existed and if there was nothing wrong with it, then why not release it, just as Senator John McCain released his?
How extraordinary it is that both John McCain and Barrack Obama had birth certificate issues as they squared off against each other in their run for the presidency. And how extraordinary has been the difference in the media response to McCain and Obama birth documents. For McCain it was a matter of front page headlines. For Mr. Obama it has been virtual silence. If anyone had doubts about the bias of the main stream media, this should put those doubts to rest in the deepest part of the ocean, buried beneath tons of whale excrement.
Mr. Corsi has explained in interviews following the release of his book that he knew Mr. Obama did not have a valid birth certificate on file in Hawaii. He had informants with inside access who confirmed there was no birth certificate. Mr. Corsi wrote his book to force Mr. Obama into releasing what would have to be a forgery. Mr. Obama tried to sabotage book sales by releasing his "birth certificate" before the book came out, knowing the media would cover for him; and, perhaps to some extent, that has worked. Yet the issue is still alive and is not going away. Now the digital release of what is purported to be Mr. Obama's long form birth certificate has been met with howls of outrage. Not only is it a forgery, as Mr. Corsi knew it would be, it is one of the most inept forgeries of all time. Indeed, a criminal complaint challenging the "birth certificate" has been filed with the FBI. In claiming that he has released his birth certificate, Mr. Obama, it would appear, has committed a serious felony.
Again, for those who believe that Mr. Obama's long form birth certificate is the real deal, that it is authentic and shows that there really was nothing to hide, if you believe that, truly believe that, kindly explain why Mr. Obama stonewalled the release of this "innocuous document" at the expense of more than a million dollars over a period of years. Kindly explain why he didn't release it years ago. No insults, please, just reasoned discourse.
The truth is, Mr. Corsi's book is tightly written, closely reasoned and extraordinarily well documented. It is about much more than Mr. Obama's birth certificate, of course. It covers all aspects of Mr. Obama's life. And when I read the last page, I was left with the realization that we know virtually nothing about Mr. Obama's past. Truly, we know almost nothing about who Mr. Obama really is. We can't even be sure that his legal name is Obama.
These are historic times and Mr. Corsi is a courageous journalist who is leading the assault against the duplicities that have resulted in Mr. Obama's apotheosis to the presidency. The side of reasoned discourse is winning over the side of the ad hominem attack. Among the losers will be the likes of the Democrat Party, the main stream media and even some conservative talk show hosts who dodge this issue out of fear for their reputations, fear that trumps their respect for the truth.
Mr. Corsi's "Where's the Birth Certificate" is an incredibly important book with stunning revelation after stunning revelation. You will not read a more important book today, perhaps not even in your lifetime. The man in the Oval Office is not who he says he is.

Trickle Up Understanding
John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (1789-95), advised George Washington that "foreigners" should be banned from the administration of government, specifying that the "commander in chief" should only be a "natural born citizen."Therefore, a government official could be born a foriegner but naturalized a citizen, however the president must be born without foreign 'alienage,' i.e., a natural born citizen.Liberal interpretation of 'citizenship at birth' has changed perception that anyone born on U.S. soil is a 'citizen at birth,' however, if born to an alien, that child also possesses foreign nationality. Indeed, Obama himself admitted he was born with British citizenship. (See the 1772 British Nationality Act et seq 1948 British Nationality Act, 'citizenship by descent.')In fact, Obama had foriegn nationality not only from birth but through the marriage of his mother to Lolo Soetoro, foriegn citizenship that was a convenience to Obama for purposes of travel to Pakistan, and scholarships and special housing reserved for foreign nationals during his college years.U.S. law restored Obama's U.S. citizenship at birth when he resided in the U.S. for five consecutive years between the ages of 14 through 23. In other words, Obama became a full U.S. citizen (versus dual citizen) at age 19.Just prior to the release of this book, April 27, 2011, Whitehouse.gov posted a crude PDF of what was identified as a copy of Obama's official Hawaiian birth certificate. It killed sales of Dr. Corsi's book and resulted in cancellations of many promotional interviews and book reviews. Merely by being a crude representation showing signs of manipulation and alterations in Adobe Illustrator, such an interference with commerce and sales of Corsi's book is a tort of intentional interference as well as a felony of relying on an altered or forged version of an official state document.While the Certification of Live Birth has no witnesses or is signed by a doctor from a licensed birthing facility, it may be a valid document under Haw. Stat. Rev. 338-5. However, the Birth Certificate is either genuine or a forgery.
