Marion and Cookie are out of the hospital. Jim is still in the hospital with an infection at the surgical incision. Pray also for Jim as the cancer has spread to his lymph-nodes and they must start chemo as soon as he is strong enough for it. My sermon today at TLBC was on "We Shall Be Satisfied" click here

Did long-time CNN anchor Lou Dobbs actually leave CNN and 9 million dollars over the controversy surrounding Barack Obama's refusal to release his actual birth certificate? The New York Post says so: "Lou Dobbs walked away from more than $9 million when he quit CNN, ending a long-running clash that boiled over during a debate about President Obama's birth certificate...."
But those who have actually watched and listened to Dobbs know the real irony here. The fact of the matter is that Dobbs is NOT, what the media derisively calls, a "birther." In fact, Dobbs has consistently insisted that he believes Barack Obama is the President of the United States.
What plagued Dobbs is his insistence on asking a legitimate and crucial question that Obama has refused to answer... and a question the rest of the media simply refuse to ask. And that question is, why doesn't Barack Obama simply produce his birth certificate, and put the controversy over his eligibility to be President... to rest.
Dobbs question begs two more crucial questions: Why has Team Obama spent as much as 1.4 million dollars in legal fees fighting actions that would compel him to produce his actual birth certificate... a document that would cost him perhaps 10 dollars to release? Why do Obama's handlers continue to insist that Obama has produced his actual birth certificate when, in fact, he has done no such thing?
Here are Dobbs' own words, spoken on his radio show on Friday: "What you can't do in America today... you can't ask a question without there being severe repercussions."
Dobbs goes on: "But what I don't see, with all the controversy, is why he [Obama] just doesn't produce his birth certificate. And what is extraordinary is the firestorm that the left-wing ginned up over that [question]...." Think of it this way. Lou Dobbs is now poorer by 9 million dollars because he dared to ask a question. We're with Dobbs. We applaud the fact that he had the courage to ask that question and moreover, patriotic Americans should demand that the rest of the media start asking that same question. If you love freedom, you have a duty to castigate each and every one of them until they start asking that question.
Flood the fax machines of the editors of the top ten newspapers in the United States, and the producers at ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX News, MSNBC and CNN. Tell them that the American people stand with Lou Dobbs. Tell them they should all be asking the simple question that Dobbs had the courage and journalistic integrity to ask. Call them on the carpet for distorting and not reporting. Demand that they call upon Barack Obama to explain why his people have spent 1.4 million dollars fighting efforts to compel him to produce his birth certificate and why his people continually claim that he has produced his birth certificate when, in fact, he has done no such thing.

But Wait A Minute? Didn't Obama Publish His Birth Certificate? Isn't It Posted On The Internet? Actually... no... he DID NOT. The document that is published on the Internet... the document Obama actually released... is a "Certification of Live Birth." It's a "short-form" document that is generated on-the-spot and is based on information that is contained in a computer database at the time it was printed.
The Document Obama Refuses To Produce.
Admittedly, for many people, the fact that Obama produced the computer generated copy of a "Certificate of Live Birth" and the fact that his people insisted on calling it an actual birth certificate did not raise alarm bells for many. But when asked to produce his actual birth certificate... Barack Obama's people started spending enormous sums of money to stop efforts to compel him to produce it.
Rational people, like Dobbs, could only ask why. Is the name of a hospital... or an attending physician... or an imprinted seal from around the actual time of birth, a state secret? Obviously not. In fact, it shouldn't really be a big deal... and that's why it doesn't really matter where one stands on the issue of Obama's citizenship and legitimacy... you don't have to be what some in the media have derisively call a "birther" to ask... what is Barack Obama hiding and why? Either he's hiding something... or he's so incredibly arrogant, he simply doesn't believe he should be required to produce anything he is asked to produce... even something as seemingly insignificant as his actual birth certificate. Is he that arrogant... or is he hiding something? That's the question Dobbs was essentially asking... that's the question that deserves an answer... and that's the question that Barack Obama DOES NOT want anyone to ask.
Again... it's the question the media doesn't seem to want to ask either... it's a simple question... and for that reason alone... it's the one question we should ask. But no one in the media will ask it (now that Dobbs has moved on from CNN) unless patriotic Americans start demanding that the question be asked. And we can start asking that question right now.

Another Interesting Point Of Order. The "Certification of Live Birth" (the document Obama actually provided) was not always adequate for the purpose of proving that an individual was physically born in Hawaii. At least that's what the State of Hawaii used to say. Specifically the Hawaii Department of Home Lands (DHHL) used to state the following on its website: "In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL."
Hawaii's policy in this regard only changed months ago... only after the controversy of Obama's eligibility came to light... and more than likely as a result of the controversy. Obama's eligibility depends upon his actual place of birth. The law at the time of his birth was very clear. As his father was not an American citizen and his mother was too young to bestow her citizenship upon him, there is no way he could even claim to be a "natural-born" citizen of the United States (as required by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution) were he not born on American soil. So... why spend up to 1.4 million dollars to avoid producing a document that the State of Hawaii required (until recently) to prove that one was born in Hawaii... a document that could satisfy - and POTENTIALLY SHUT-UP - millions of naysayers... a document that would cost Obama about 10 dollars to produce?
Lou Dobbs is 9 million dollars poorer for asking that question. The very least that freedom-loving Americans can do is demand the media start asking the same question. Because whether you believe that Barack Obama is eligible, under the Constitution, to be President of the United States or not, it's a question that demands an answer... at least Dobbs thought so.
