Whatever the amount is, the Federal Reserve just gave it away to...well, we don't know to whom. The Federal Reserve won't tell us, not even Congress. Here's what Ben Cohen over at the Huffington Post has to say about all of this, Click here.

How can this be? His Hawaiian COLB clearly states he was born in August of 1961.

Either Mr. Obama doesn't know how old he is or someone other than Barack Obama opened up his Myspace account at Whitehouse.gov?

Is Barack Obama's COLB fake or is his Myspace account fake?

Enquiring minds want to know: "Is there anything real about this man?"

Okay, I'll admit it right here and now...I am an avid Rush Limbaugh listener. In fact, I had better hurry up and write this post before he comes on at noon!

While Rush Limbaugh is undoubtedly right on many things, he is quite wrong when he says medical insurance companies and private health care providers will go out of business if a public option is adopted as part of Obama's overall Heath Care initiative.

The flaw in his argument is simple to see: On the one hand he complains bitterly about a public option that will allow millions of Americans to once again afford some kind of health care at little or no costs. In fact, the cost will be so low, big corporations such a Walmark will quickly dump their own costly employees' health coverage, presently at approximately $300 per month, and buy into the government's public option for approximately $25 per month -- no one ever said Walmat didn't have an eye for savings -- Walmart competitors will have little choice but to follow suit.

The final result of instituting a public option in Rush's eyes will be to simply exchange one private monopoly for a government monopoly, much like our public school system. And just as in our public school system, as in any structural monopoly, Rush is quick to point out, costs will always rise while services will always decline -- it's inevitable. It will happen in any structural monopoly. Medical costs will continue to rise. There will be rationing. There will be long waits. There will be inefficiencies, with vast amount of corruption. Government health care will be no more efficient than the government post office or the public school system, only far, far more costly.

The problem here is, Rush never equates the two. Public health care will be so bad, in fact, it will insure private health care insurance and private health care providers will have plenty of paying customer around for a very long, long time to come. 

Is this fair? Probably not. But it will accomplish two things: It will provide some kind of health care for millions of Americans who presently can't afford any, and, as our past experience has shown us with the Public Health Service, it will lower cost through structural competition -- something our our public school system could use a little of at the moment.

Come to think of it, it is ironic. While Obama is promoting structural competition to solve our public health care crisis,  he is busy shutting it down in our public school system. Go figure!

Ups! Got to go now.

Now hold on there for a minute. I know you are upset with the title, but it's true. Most Democrats know Barack Obama can't meet the provisions of Article ll, Section l, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution, or at least aren't sure whether he can or not.

Rather than go all over the issues again, let's just go to Congressman Bill Posey's bill:

The Presidential Eligibility Act (H.R. 1503)

Here's my point: Most people are shocked when they learn there is no formal qualification process to run for the President of the United State, once the most powerful position in the world. People see themselves being required to produce a birth certificate to place their children in public school, get a new driver's license, any number of state and federal functions now days where a person's identify is required, except when running for the Presidency of the United States. There the only thing required is your honorable word that you have meet all of the requirements.

Civil wars have been started over far less. So wouldn't it be prudent to take this Birther issue, even if you don't believe a word of it, and support legislation that would act to avoid this kind of "misunderstanding" in the future? It seems like a slam-dunk piece of common sense legislation. So why aren't Democrats crawling all over this bill?

Now I am sure we are going to hear a lot of excuses, but the bottom line is, if Democrats are so sure Barack Obama can meet the requirements of Article ll, Section l, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution, they should be supporting this legislation for the good of the country. And the only real reason why they aren't is because they too believe their man can meet muster. It's as simple as that.

So if you want to know who actually believes Barack Obama can't meet his Constitutional requirements, all you have to do is look at what people do, or, in this case, what they don't do, instead of listening to their words.

ps: Note what it says in the lower left-hand corner:"DATE FILED BY REGISTRAR".

This means there was some information contained in Barack Obama's "certificate of live birth" application the registrar could not independently verify. Think about it

Ask me what it should read if all of the information on Barack Obama 's "certificate of live birth" application had been independently verified by the registrar.
