Sorry, Mr. President. Please surrender your BlackBerry. Those are seven words President-elect Barack Obama is dreading but expecting to hear, friends and advisers say, when he takes office in 65 days

msgboard.snopes.com/politics/graphics/birth …does that work? I just produced Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate

First of all the link doesn’t work…but in regards to the image you’re referring to…The only reason the number in the top right corner is blocked out is because it is a “serial” number used to prove authenticity of the birth certificate. There is no reason to block out that number unless you wish to cover up the fact that the birth certificate was “produced” out of order.You see with that number we could prove that Obama was born on August 4th, 1961…along with two other people born on August 4th, 1961…in Hawaii where he claims to have been born. If his certificate was “number 3″ then “number 2 and number 4″ could produce their certificates with the necessary numbers that would allow them to track whose number is actually “number 3.” factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/birth_certi …There is his birth certificate without the number blocked out. The Obama campaign said the number blocked out was his social security number and they had to block it for identify fraud prevention.Does that look like his social security number to you? And besides, someone born in the united states at that time wouldn’t have had a social security card issued to them until their first job, around the age of 13 or 14.

I know that I’m going to enjoy four years of a legitimate Obama presidency. I’m also sure that conspiracy theorists like yourself will spend the next four years seething at the fact that you can’t convince more people of the “truth.” All of the people who matter in both parties have confirmed his birth (otherwise he wouldn’t have made it so far), and luckily you don’t fall into that category. Don’t let the NWO get you

Just give it up completely. You’re not influencing anyone by posting that ***** on digg. Head on over to Hillary’s Village, you can jerk each other off over there.

some people just need to grow up.

He had his birth certificate available for viewing in a campaign office throughout the campaign, snopes and factcheck verified that, and while the state of Hawaii is forbidden by law from publicly releasing copies of birth certificates, they have looked into the matter and verified that they have a copy on file and that records in every way verify it to be legitimate… His family wasn’t exactly uber-powerful, and there was absolutely no expectation that he would grow up to be president… It would be rather hard for them to pull off a conspiracy like that for no reason.Furthermore, he was born to an American mother, and his father was married to another woman before he married his mother. This means that his father’s marriage to his mother is invalid by U.S. law, meaning he was born out of wedlock to a U.S. mother. By law, he would be a natural born citizen even if he was birthed by Saddam Hussein in an abortion clinic in Fidel Castro’s basement. Even were his parents legally married, a judge would likely rule him to still be a natural-born citizen, as the requirement of time for a citizen living in the U.S. is meant to apply to those who have lived outside of the U.S., being three months too young wouldn’t disqualify her from passing on her citizenship.

umm mccain wasn’t born in the us either. nytimes.com/2008/02/28/us/politics/28mc …

One sentence? Worst. Article. Ever.
11.25.2008
At least it’s on one page!
11.25.2008
So he might have to give up using his Blackberry….does that mean he’ll start using the iPhone?
11.25.2008
Oh no, he might not be able to send secret e-mails and might be held accountable for the messages he sends. THE HORROR!!!!!!!
11.25.2008
Unlike the Bush admin that just deletes the E-mails and ignores subpoenas, in violation of Federal law.Thanks for playing, Joe “The *****”
11.25.2008
I love how every response to Obama criticism is “B..b…but BUSH!!”a) Bush is a ***** up and should not been allowed to do half the things he didb) I thought Obama wasn’t supposed to be like Bush, anywaySo yeah. You’re welcome, *****.
11.25.2008
Hey Joe “The *****”You made a childish, Conservative right wing, anti-American, troop hating comment, not me.Why do you hate our troops?You talk about accountability, kind of like the accountability of having the blood of 4100 soldiers on your hands? You did vote for Bush in 2004? Didn’t you, you troop hating grunt.

shut upppppp

mooseontheloose and moolaismyfriend are fighting. their names are so similar it’s confusing.
11.25.2008
I know… When names look similar, its hard to quickly differentiate what’s goin on.
11.25.2008
I am so glad I blocked you.
11.25.2008
Seriously, is this that important?
11.25.2008
It’s not necessary, but it certainly is much more convenient…
11.25.2008
my thoughts exactly, this is ***** journalism. irrelevant and unimportant.
11.25.2008
I would feel crippled with out email, and I don’t even use it all that much compared him Obama
11.25.2008
Of Course it is
11.25.2008
The Pepsi sponsored presidential campaign is over, now him to decide who will sponsor his pre-inauguration sponsors, and it looks like blackberry isn’t winning. This is more important than any relevant issue that could ever come up.
11.25.2008
He should auction if off ebay and donate the money to charity. Give it up with style, mr president (but delete the data first).
11.25.2008
You mean all the campaign e-mail? Like it’s that private having an archived message saying “We got that bitch!” to David Axelrod?
11.25.2008
I’d say it’s *quite* important. The article was more so about the limits of a president to use email- more than it was about a blackberry. With the communication revolution brought on by the intertubes, our president should be able to take advantage of that ease and efficiency, but at the same time, it opens the door for security. I don’t see why you would consider this non-important at all.
11.25.2008
maybe not important, but interesting at the least.
11.25.2008
No, this is SPARTAAAAAA!
11.25.2008
Actually the blackberry is used by csis to give messages to Obama. So I welcome the USA in becoming the 11th province of the federation of Canada. I would like to thank RIM for there help in this matter. You really think a socialist could exist in America? Oh btw, gays now have the right to marry and pot isn’t such a big deal.
11.25.2008
Yes. It’s one of the few moments I’ve had a glimpse into a president’s life and not felt alienated by how out of touch they are.
11.25.2008
Yes.
