Throughout the past election year, concerns of bias and political
agendas have pervaded the thoughts of millions of Americans. Many
have turned to the internet to escape the heavy bias and promotion
of Obama by MSM on TV and print media. Two conspicuously biased
internet websites are Huffington Post and Politico. The Citizen
Wells blog has called out Ben Smith of Politico before. Even though
the 2008 election is over, these two sites are apparently committed
to performing as front organizations for the Obama Camp. So the
question still begs to be answered. What motivates these 2 sites
to cover the behind of the illegal POTUS, Barack Obama. Please
respond and tell the American People which of the following apply:

In the tank for Obama.

Sloppy reporting.

Paid by the Obama Camp.

No regard for the truth.

If you have some information that has been hidden from us and the
American public, please provide it. For example, a real birth
certificate. If you have a justification for what you have written,
please supply and we will publish it. In the absence of a cogent
response from you, the intelligent and informed reader will easily
discern which of the above that apply to you.

Here is the latest spin and misinformation from
Huffington Post and Ben Smith of Politico:

“Richard Shelby, Alabama Senator, Questions Obama’s Citizenship”

“The Huffington Post  Rachel Weiner  February 22, 2009 10:18 AM”

“The Cullman Times reports that Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, in a
meeting with constituents, appeared to give some thought to rumors
questioning President Obama’s citizenship.”

“According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked
health department records during the campaign and determined there
was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.

Politico’s Ben Smith says he has emailed Shelby’s spokesman to ask if
 the Senator actually believes there’s truth in the repeatedly
debunked rumor.”

 “Shelby dabbles in citizenship rumor [UPDATED]

A dispatch from Cullman, Alabama:

Another local resident asked  [Alabama Senator Richard] Shelby if
there was any truth to a rumor that appeared during the presidential
campaign concerning Obama’s U.S. citizenship, or lack thereof.”

“I emailed Shelby’s spokesman, Jonathan Graffeo, to ask if Shelby
believes there’s substance to this rumor, for which no supporting
evidence has ever emerge, and which has been debunked repeatedly
and in detail.”

Cullman Times

“Another local resident asked Shelby if there was any truth to a
rumor that appeared during the presidential campaign concerning
Obama’s U.S. citizenship, or lack thereof.
“Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii,
but I haven’t seen any birth certificate,” Shelby said. “You have
to be born in America to be president.”
According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked
health department records during the campaign and determined there
was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.
The nonpartisan Web site Factcheck.org examined the original document
and said it does have a raised seal and the usual evidence of a genuine
document. In addition, Factcheck.org reproduced an announcement of
Obama’s birth, including his parents’ address in Honolulu, that was
published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Aug. 13, 1961.”

What Dr. Fukino of the Hawaii Health
Department really said.

STATEMENT BY DR. CHIYOME FUKINO
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”

What the AP writer wrote to
misrepresent Dr. Fukino’s
statement in an Orwellian
tactic.

“State declares Obama birth certificate genuine
The Associated Press

Fri, Oct 31, 2008 (4:18 p.m.)

State officials say there’s no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.

Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said Friday she and
the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally
verified that the health department holds Obama’s original birth
certificate.

Fukino says that no state official, including Republican Gov. Linda
Lingle, ever instructed that Obama’s certificate be handled differently.

She says state law bars release of a certified birth certificate
to anyone who does not have a tangible interest.

Some Obama critics claim he was not born in the US.

Earlier Friday, a southwest Ohio magistrate rejected a challenge to
Obama’s citizenship. Judges in Seattle and Philadelphia recently
dismissed similar suits.”
Notice the heading and first sentence implying that
the Hawaiian Health Department officials had stated
that Obama was born in Hawaii.

Next notice that there are no quotes from either
official that state that Obama was born in Hawaii.
Where I come from that is not just Orwellian, but
an outright lie.

From the Alan Keyes lawsuit

“A press release was issued on October 31, 2008, by the Hawaii Department
of Health by its Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino. Dr. Fukino said that she
had “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of
Health has Senator Obama’s original birth certificate on record in
accordance with state policies and procedures.” That statement failed to
resolve any of the questions being raised by litigation and press accounts.
Being “on record” could mean either that its contents are in the computer
database of the department or there is an actual “vault” original.”

“Further, the report does not say whether the birth certificate in the
“record” is a Certificate of Live Birth or a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth.
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth resulting from hospital documentation,
including a signature of an attending physician, is different from a
Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. For births prior to 1972, a Certificate of
Hawaiian Birth was the result of the uncorroborated testimony of one witness
and was not generated by a hospital. Such a Certificate could be obtained up
to one year from the date of the child’s birth. For that reason, its value
as prima facie evidence is limited and could be overcome if any of the
allegations of substantial evidence of birth outside Hawaii can be obtained.
The vault (long Version) birth certificate, per Hawaiian Statute 883.176
allows the birth in another State or another country to be registered in
Hawaii. Box 7C of the vault Certificate of Live Birth contains a question,
whether the birth was in Hawaii or another State or Country. Therefore,
the only way to verify the exact location of birth is to review a certified
copy or the original vault Certificate of Live Birth and compare the name of
the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor against the
birthing records on file at the hospital noted on the Certificate of the
Live Birth.”
