Values Voter News

Watch quick one minute video report on this issue at ABCNews.com. Finally the media is catching up and reporting the story accurately as of late. I found this video in an ABCNews.com article titled Hawaii Gov. Says Proof of Obama's Birth Certificate Exists but Hasn't Produced the Document and then subtitled "Birthers" say "If You Have It, Show It to Us" which is what "birthers" have been saying all along. Also see Video: Memo from the Congressional Research Service of the US Congress admits no one in the federal government verified Obama's long-form birth certificate. and Steve Pearce and President Obama's original birth certificate that not even FactCheck.org, Snopes.com nor PolitiFact.com have been able to obtain. 



By the way the latest development is that the newly elected Governor of Hawaii as reported in the ABCNews article had this to say but so far to no avail:

"Our investigation is showing, it actually exists in the archives written down," Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie told Honolulu's Star-Advertiser...Despite his assurance to end the controversy, the governor has yet to present the document." - So the question remains the same and unaltered.

Also see the most popular post at VVN.CO at Snopes.com changes hospital of Obama's birth 90 minutes after WND.COM article but has no conclusive evidence of correction according to Wikipedia. which has logged this dispute 07/2009 till present. Now Values Voter News has been reporting on this issue since 12/03/2008 in a post titled Snopes and FactCheck caught misrepresenting the position of those after Obama's birth certificate.... in which the argument as remained the same argument from back then which I will repeat with minor revisions posted in the latest post to this one at Video: Memo from the Congressional Research Service of the US Congress admits no one in the federal government verified Obama's long-form birth certificate. and not to fail to mention the argument but with a slightly different twist do see the second to latest post at Steve Pearce and President Obama's original birth certificate that not even FactCheck.org, Snopes.com nor PolitiFact.com have been able to obtain.

Here we go and it is quite simple:

Our President posted a Certificate of Live Birth on his site as proof that he is a natural born citizen.

Fact 1: The Certificate of Live Birth that Obama posted on his web site being a "copy" proves there is an "original birth certificate/vital records". This naturally led many to seek the original to evidence forth the copy.

Fact 2: Dr Fukino states she verified the existence of the "original birth certificate/vital records" in '08. This naturally led many to seek to know what the "original birth certificate/vital records" actually read.

Fact 3: Dr Fukino states she has verified what is said on the "original birth certificate/vital records" namely that Obama is born in Hawaii and is a natural born citizen in '09. This is naturally leading many to want to see it for themselves or to have further verification by more than one.

Fact 4: The Obama Administration has yet to release those documents to the public or anyone else as far as we know nor has Dr Fukino. This is naturally leading many to question why.

Fact 5: So the best evidence we have of Obama's natural born citizenship via his original birth certificate/vital records to date is the statement by Dr Fukino.

Now wherever you stand on this issue is up to you. These are the facts. If Dr Fukino's word is good enough for you and you think her word should settle this issue then fine. But none the less at least be understanding of those who seek better evidence when it is available to seek.

So now the obvious and fair question that Big Media and those on the left on this issue are ignoring is: Why not release the evidence? This is not about a conspiracy but rather transparency. Why not release the information to the public or to a non-partisan independent group of some sort or to respected members of both sides to verify? Is it really enough to go on this Dr's word?

So in conclusion what is at base from the perspective here at Values Voter News that is fueling the fire of this controversy is the Administration's and Big Media's inability to put out the flames by actually fanning those flames themselves by:

#1) not asking the right question of the Obama Administration which is: Why not release the original birth certificate/vital records that Dr Fukino has confirmed exists that according to her proves Obama's natural born citizenship?

#2) whenever the issue is brought up by a better informed/understanding of the issue media the Obama Administration continues to fan the flame by failing to answer the above question by continually pointing to the birth certificate they produced online which totally skirts the question.

#3) Big Media only repeats what the Administration set forth in their answer and refuses to seek the best evidence available that is known to exist.

So if Big Media and the Obama Administration want this to go away then they can take some steps forward by 1) asking and understanding the right question then 2) answering the question and 3) to seek and reveal the best evidence that exists.

Again it's about transparency not conspiracy and seeking the best possible evidence when known to exist.
