LOL - Birthers' new tactic: "Where Do We Place the Plaque?"

[proud2BlibKansan]

Most readers of this blog know that I personally believe Obama was born in Hawaii and can prove it any time he sees fit. I have always believed that the BC issue was a smokescreen to control awareness of the fact that Obama was a British/Kenyan citizen at the time of his birth through his father who was never a US citizen.

This fact alone – as the Supreme Court made reference to in the Minor case (see below) – raises doubts as to whether a native born US citizen with a dual foreign nationality at the time of his birth can be President. The BC birther conspiracy theory has clearly and effectively shielded from view the true issue – which is a legal question, not a conspiracy theory.

But with our Government trying to sanitize Obama’s eligibility today in Congress by attempting to pass H. RES. 593 , I’ve come up with a new mantra for the BC birthers:

WHERE DO WE PLACE THE PLAQUE?

H. Res 593 states:

Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii;

If they’re going to make that assertion so boldly and codify it in a Congressional Resolution then the American people, especially Hawaiian citizens, deserve to know exactly where in Hawaii Obama was born. Right?

This will be a source of State pride and also revenue for the municipality which can claim the exact spot where Obama was born.

H. Res 593 is intended to celebrate Hawaii’s entering the union. It makes great pomp out of its factual assertion that the 44th President of the US was born in Hawaii. So let’s not stop there. If the Congressional record will state Obama was born in Hawaii, it should also tell us where exactly in Hawaii he was born.

Honolulu is a city. But his birthplace is a spot, a certain address. That’s what we need. Because otherwise we can’t memorialize the spot. So here comes your mantra:

WHERE DO WE PLACE THE PLAQUE?

5. If the Birthers can spell Kalanianaole Highway (much less pronounce it) they might even be able to

... find it on a map all by themselves.

What idiots.

3. They could make it a

Tourist attraction. Hawaii doesn't have much for tourism. :rofl:

4. I believe he was born at the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children

9. If I'm not mistaken, that center was actually in a different building in 1961

The name changed slightly when they did a facility move, too.

At least that was my understanding, I could be wrong.

It's been a while since I read it and cannot source it right now.

10. More proof of the conspiracy to cover up this birth!

Moving buildings and changing names! That's it. The birthers now have more evidence. LOL

11. The tactic is a reference to the confusion over what hospital he was born in

And it is true that Honolulu has changed immensely since 1961, and the hospital he was born in isn't even there anymore.

I'm surprised they lived so far away from the university--I looked up the address on mapquest and it's way past Diamond Head, almost to Koko Head. I lived in Hawaii in the late 80s and I didn't even consider that part of Honolulu. But I guess it's another example of how greatly the island has changed.

13. I was born in 1985 and the hospital I was born in is gone too.

I guess that makes me a dirty furriner.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. It means you were never born!!

The hospital where I was born is now a Shriner's hall. Guess that means I get to ride in those cute little cars for free!

8. Ding..a State/city Historic Marker should be placed now, that would drive them over the edge.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Can we place it near a cliff?

14. Que loco
