On April 27, 2011, the White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, conducted a Press "Gaggle" - a press briefing held before the formal press meeting. At the meeting, Obama would make a statement about the release of his original, long-form, hosital-issued birth certificate - a document that Obama had refused to show to the public for the previous four years. The purpose of this document release was to confirm that Obama was physically born in Hawaii in August 4, 1961 at Kapiolani Hospital.
Obama stated the following at the April 27 meeting held in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room
(NOTE: This will be the very first time that Obama will make a reference to his Certification of Live Birth, aka, the "short-form")
THE PRESIDENT: As many of you have been briefed, we provided additional information today about the site of my birth. Now, this issue has been going on for two, two and a half years now. I think it started during the campaign. And I have to say that over the last two and a half years I have watched with bemusement, I've been puzzled at the degree to which this thing just kept on going. We've had every official in Hawaii, Democrat and Republican, every news outlet that has investigated this, confirm that, yes, in fact, I was born in Hawaii, August 4, 1961, in Kapiolani Hospital. We've posted the certification that is given by the state of Hawaii on the Internet for everybody to see. People have provided affidavits that they, in fact, have seen this birth certificate. And yet this thing just keeps on going.
Questions about Obama's citizenship were first raised by the Hillary Campaign more than three years ago. Also, everyone in the media was questioning John McCain's birth place and citizenship at the same time they were ignoring Obama's. As far as "every official in Hawaii confirming his birthplace in Kapiolani Hospital," there was only one official: former Governor Linda Lingle blurted it out on a Saturday evening radio talk show that she "had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii."
Only Fukino issued the press release (which was not an affidavit and not about the short-form). In fact, there are no affidavits that attest to the existence and authenticity of the short-form birth Certification of Live Birth.
Prior to the appearance of Obama, a packet was passed around to the press containing copies of two birth certificates: one was a bluish monochrome copy of the long-form birth certificate that was not what they posted on the White House website, and a black & white copy of the short-form birth certificate that was made from a printout of a webpage on Snopes.com, a popular "mythbusting" site.
Following a brief introduction, the discussion was turned over to Dan Pfeiffer, the White House Director of Communications.
Although the focus of the briefing was about the surprising release of Obama's original long-form birth certificate, Pfeiffer took the opportunity to frequently inform the press that the issue regarding Barack Obama's birth certificate was fully settled in 2008 when Obama, himself, requested and received a copy of his short-form birth certificate in 2008 and had his staff, including Pfeiffer, post it on his Campaign website.
The key statement repeatedly underscored by Mr. Pfeiffer is that a copy of Barack Obama's birth certificate was ordered and received in 2008, and that this short-form birth certificate, called a "Certification of Live Birth" is what was sent to Obama - not the long-form birth certificate that the HDOH no longer releases. (NOTE: I will use the acronym COLB instead of writing out short-form birth certificate)
Below are partial excerts from the official transcript of the press briefing containing questions from the press and some responses from Mr. Pfeiffer. (I inserted comments to what was said - they appear in bold face).
MR. PFEIFFER: In 2008, in response to media inquiries, the President’s campaign requested his birth certificate from the state of Hawaii. We received that document; we posted it on the website.The State of Hawaii would never issue a copy of Obama's birth certificate to his Campaign - only Obama could order it.
So, that is what the White House is now claiming - that, in 2008, Obama, himself, ordered and received his COLB. "We received that document" presumably from Obama.
MR. PFEIFFER: ...since all of you weren' t around in 2008 when we originally released the President’s birth certificate, I will do that {that is, explain to the press what happened in 2008}
The "We" Pfeiffer is talking about refers to anyone connected with the Obama Campaign (run by Obama For America) since it was "released" seven months before there was an Obama White House staff (even though many of his campaign spokespeople became White House staff). When Robert Gibbs was Press Secretary (before Jay Carney), he used to proudly tell the press that "I posted it myself on the Internet."
MR. PFEIFFER: What you have in front of you now is a packet of papers that includes the President’s long-form birth certificate from the state of Hawaii, (and) the original birth certificate that the President requested and we posted online in 2008.
What "original birth certificate"did they post? The COLB is not the "original birth certificate." Was Pfeiffer confused about which is which? Possibly, since he claimed in his discussion that he did not even know a long-form existed at the time he posted the COLB. Again, Pfeiffer said that "the President requested the COLB and we posted it online in 2008." This is the third time that Pfeiffer said that "We," including himself, "posted the COLB online." The way that Pfeiffer tells it, they posted the actual COLB online instead of a copy of it. But why did they include in the packet, a copy of the COLB (an 8th generation copy) taken from the Snopes website? Don't they have a copy of their own?
MR. PFEIFFER: That document was then inspected by independent fact checkers, who came to the campaign headquarters and inspected the document -- independent fact checkers did, and declared that it was proof positive that the President was born in Hawaii.
Pfeiffer does not give the name of those "independent fact checkers" which he mentions twice. Would there have been one or more questions raised if he said that the "independent fact checkers" came from the organization known as "Factcheck.org," who are funded by the Annenberg Foundation and George Soros - two of Obama's biggest campaign contributors? Would it have been mentioned that the Annenberg Foundation gave $50 million to Bill Ayers who hired Obama to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC)? These "independent fact checkers" had never seen a real COLB before, knew nothing about the security paper on which it is printed, and knew nothing about the security borders. In short, they had no idea what they were seeing, IF, in fact, they saw anything.
MR. PFEIFFER: To be clear, the document we presented on the President’s website in 2008 is his birth certificate. That essentially -- for those of you who followed the campaign closely know that solved the issue. We didn’t spend any time talking about this after that.
No, Mr. Pfeiffer. It did not solve the issue because, even if there was a real, authentic COLB, it cannot prove that Obama was physically born in Hawaii. COLBs were given to children born out-of-state up until a year after their birth. As long as their parents established residency in Hawaii for a year and claimed Hawaii as their home, the child was issued a COLB showing a Hawaiian birth. This is the sole reason why the long-form birth certificate was sought - to prove that Obama was physically born on US soil - one of the qualifications for being eligible to become President.
REPORTER: When you posted this did you post the other side of it where the signature is?
MR. PFEIFFER: Yes.
NO, they did not. Only the front side was posted and the Obama Campaign was not the first place to post a copy. The ultra leftwing Daily Kos was and Markos, the blog owner, did not say how he got it. They never posted an image of the other side and never posted another image of the front.
REPORTER: Because it is not here and that's been an issue.
MR. PFEIFFER: We posted both sides and when it was looked at it was looked at by -- the fact checkers came to headquarters and actually examined the document we had. That settled the issue...But it became an issue again.
NO, you never posted both sides. You said, ""...the fact checkers came to headquarters and actually examined the document we had." Rather than settle the issue, it raised a bigger one. If you had the actual COLB, then you would have said " the fact checkers...actually examined Obama's birth certificate," and not "the document."
MR. PFEIFFER: I don’t think this dragged on for four years because this was resolved -- for those of you who remember the campaign, this issue was resolved in 2008. And it has not been an issue, none of you have asked about it, called about it, reported on it until the last few weeks.
Pfeiffer repeats the lie over and over and over again hoping that people will believe it is the truth. Doesn't Pfeiffer ever read what the media write? Has he never read a single "Birther article" from the thousands that appeared since 2008? Of course he has. He even said so.
MR. PFEIFFER: There has been -- no one that I can recall actually asked us to -- we were asked to release the President’s birth certificate in 2008. We did that. And then no one -- it never -- up until a few weeks ago, there was never an issue about that that wasn’t the birth certificate from any credible individual or media outlet. And it hasn’t been until -- I mean, Jay was asked about this yesterday.
Pfeiffer must have been under a rock because the Obama Campaign was asked, from Day One, to release the long-form, hospital-issued birth certificate, and he has steadfastly refused. Hawaii has steadfastly refused. Pfeiffer is recognizing that the Mainstream Media buried the story and refused to investigate the issue until Trump forced them to bring it out. Only the people and media outlets whom Obama personally chooses are in Pfeiffer's "credible individual or media outlet" category. Did Pfeiffer really say that it was not an issue until Jay Carney was asked about it the day before? By whom? CNN? Trump?
MR. PFEIFFER: When any Hawaiian wants -- requests their birth certificate because they want to get a driver’s license, they want to get a passport, they do exactly what the President did in 2008. And that’s what that is. And we released that.
Pfeiffer is saying that the President, when he was still a candidate, filled out the standard PDF BIRTH form in 2008, sent it to the Hawaii Health Department and they sent him, by mail, a 2008 Certification of Live Birth like every Hawaiian would get.
Right?
MR. PFEIFFER: Let’s be very clear. You were there for the campaign. There was never a question about the original birth certificate during the campaign. It was a settled issue. I was there for the original decision to release the birth certificate. I was there when we posted it online. I'm not sure I even knew there was an original one that was different than the one we posted online because it wasn’t an issue. So it wasn’t like -- let’s be very clear. We were asked for the President’s birth certificate in 2008; we released the President’s birth certificate; and it was done. That was it.
Pfeiffer, let's be very clear. You are not. Millions of people from all walks of life have been asking continuously for four years to see Obama's original, hospital-issued long-form birth certificate, and Obama and Hawaii have been stonewalling its release. The day before your press briefing, CNN, (one you would consider to be a "credible media outlet") had a two-part "Birther" investigation and they were talking about Hawaii's long-form birth certificate and how Obama could get one.
You said "I was there for the original decision to release the birth certificate."
WHAT decision? WHOSE decision? WHEN was it made? Did it sound something like, "Release the Kraken!"
MR. CARNEY {joins the debate}: the President feels that this was bad for the country...to be drawn into sideshows about fallacies that have been disproven with the full weight of a legal document for several years.
I hate to break it to you, Carney, but the online COLB is not a legal document and has no weight at all. Now, here comes the real fallacy.
Pfeiffer said that, in 2008, Obama requested and received, an original Certification of Live Birth that he posted online. He said that, in 2008, the Obama Campaign had the "actual document" - presumably, the Certification of Live Birth that was requested by Obama in 2008 and posted online in 2008, and that "independent fact checkers had actually examined the document you had," also in 2008.
BUT, Obama's Certification of Live Birth was a 2007 COLB, date stamped June 6, 2007. There was no way for Obama to request and receive a COLB in 2008 - as you have repeatedly told the press - and get a 2007 COLB with a date-stamp of June 6, 2007. Ordering a COLB in 2008 would get you a 2008 COLB with a 2008 date stamp. Also, the 2008 COLB has a very different border and layout from the 2007 COLB and it also has a 2008 date-stamp .
So, NOW, you have a condundrum, and you recognized it. The way you got out of the conundrum was to make a black & white Xerox copy of a printout of a COLB shown on Snopes.com, and make the copy so light and fuzzy that it obscured both the 2007 date-stamp and the 2007 border. The press, you reason, would never know the difference between a 2007 and a 2008 COLB - especially when the 2007 date stamp could not be seen, and the COLB copy shown is not even your own.
The truth is that Obama never ordered a real COLB, never received a real COLB, never had a real COLB, and you never posted a real COLB. Hawaii's Department of Health never issued a real COLB to Obama, and that is why they refused to confirm it and refused to authenticate the images of it. Factcheck never examined a real COLB for Obama and CNN never investigated a real COLB for Obama.
In other words, Obama, the White House, Obama For America, the State of Hawaii, Factcheck (funded by the Annenberg Foundation), and Politifact (funded by the Times Corporation), know that Obama's online Certification of Live Birth is a forgery because there is no real Certification of Live Birth. All of these people and organizations know that Barack Obama is an imposter and an identity fraud who was not born in Hawaii.
We have an imposter and a usurper in the White House, and a lot of people helped to put him there. No conspiracy theories here - just real conspirators and traitors and the greatest identity fraud in history.
