T F Stern’s Rantings

Politics sets the tone for lots of things; take for instance the moniker placed on folks trying to prove 9/11 was staged by our own government; wahla…Truthers; a bunch of whackos. Mention the name, Truthers, and automatically folks start shaking their heads, feeling uncomfortable for being near anyone who might be that far fetched.

How about those who say Obama shouldn’t be president because his birth document either wasn’t available or didn’t fit the requirements? They became; a drum roll please…Birthers. Not too many take Birthers seriously; who could with such a silly name? Being labeled a Birther might damage standing in the community; many have remained quiet rather than admit the Emperor has no clothes.

Obama finally came out the other day; no, I’m not saying Obama “came out of the closet,” there are plenty enough rumors to deal with. Yesterday Obama presented the world with a birth certificate. You’ll notice that reads, “a birth certificate” rather than “his birth certificate;” and only two years after it should have been done. He staged, and that is the correct term, staged his presentation as a guest on Oprah.

Stop me if I appear out of line, but is Oprah’s daytime talk show the proper venue to address the nation or would it have been more presidential from the Oval Office? Think about it… Oprah has a fine show and lots of folks watch it; but could we honestly consider her show to be a national news outlet?

Interesting questions have come up; minor discrepancies which may or may not hold water. One issue found in an article by Jerome R. Corsi on World Net Daily had to do with the long-form birth certificate the White House released April 27, 2011. Barack Obama was given a higher certificate number than a set of twins born the following day. Of itself, such a seemingly insignificant issue for which there might be a reasonable explanation; but then there’s the authentication of the actual document. (As hard as I tried, there is no such word as “authentification;” there should be, it sounds great.)

“A close examination of the birth certificates issued by Kapi’olani to the Nordyke twins shows the registration number precedes the number given Obama, even though the future president was born a day earlier.

Susan Nordyke was born at 2:12 p.m. Hawaii time and was given No. 151–61–10637, which was filed with the Hawaii registrar Aug. 11, 1961.

Gretchen Nordyke followed at 2:17 p.m. and was given No. 151–61–10638, which was also filed with the Hawaii registrar Aug. 11, 1961.

… Obama was given a higher registration number than the Nordyke twins. The online image indicates the number is No. 151–1961–10641, even though he was born Aug. 4, 1961, the day before the twins, and his birth was registered with the Hawaii registrar three days earlier, Aug. 8, 1961.”

Remember CBS and “Rathergate?” Dan Rather, the always reliable liberal news anchor? Good ole’ Dan tried desperately to destroy George W. Bush with a phony document, so poorly manufactured typography experts pegged it the moment it hit. Dan Rather had to drop out of the game when that blew up in his face.

Getting back to the birth certificate Obama presented; I watched Karl Denninger, many may know him better as “The TickerGuy,” as he explained definitively the document shared was fraudulent. Denniger pointed out the assembly processes leaving little doubt it was manufactured or assembled on a computer rather than an authentic document.

Rather (Freudian use of Rather), rather than putting the birth certificate issue away for good, it appears Obama has placed himself in an awkward position; attempting to use the presidency to perpetrate fraud, obstruct justice and further embarrass the nation. Had this happened during the Nixon administration, he’d have stepped down after shaking his jowls in front of the camera and uttering, “I’m not a crook.” If I knew how to do it, there would be music playing in the background, something to remind us of Bill Clinton, Devil with a Blue Dress.

Let the name calling begin in earnest; my personal choice would be “Frauders.” We wouldn’t have to do away with Birthers, just add a sub-cult. Frauders would include all the Birthers who know how to use Photoshop and wish to further Obama’s demise by unraveling yet another of his lies.
