Don't be threatening to leave the country now. Some on the other side will take that literally and never let it go.![]()

I'm not going to get into the same argument I get into with some of my relativesI'll just leave it at this: I personally called the Vital Records office in Honolulu, and their words were that the embossed seal and registrar signature are on the back of the certificate. What you have is the front of the certificate. Then I emailed my former college roommate, who was born and raised in Hawaii, and asked him what he thought. He pulled out his birth certificate and it was identical to BO's, and he corroborated that the seal and signature are on the back. After that, I spoke to one of my colleagues about why they don't just release the back. His reply, "the people that don't believe it now, will refuse to believe it no matter what we release." So long story short, if the campaign releases the back, the same people that refuse to believe it now will simply say that this could have come from any other Hawaii Birth Certificate.
I'm no longer on the payroll. I am now working as a consultant for the campaign, specifically for Latino Outreach and Obama Pride, and to a lesser extent Expats for Obama. So in short, unless we're talking about a Latin American Pride March for Obama in Kenya, I wouldn't have a clue when he plans to return to Africa.
If it is that easily refutable - then just do it. Seriously. What a weak argument that is - "even if I do it they won't believe me"? Just release front and back and THEN you have the legs to stand on when you say there is no story here. Honestly - most people don't think there is anything to this story anyway EXCEPT that it would be so easy to release both sides and not doing it sounds off.
I was looking at you like a run of the mill OS - not a paid representative. So, it bothers you not at all that when he went to this village - he made promises that he has yet to even TRY to fulfill?
I don't let it bother me, because I don't doubt that he will get around to it, and at the end of the day, it's not my job to get bothered by it. I have more pressing issues to concern myself with. Like hosting a Latin American Pride March in Kenya![]()

Well, I have to worry about other parts of the campaign. If I were to get involved in every small issue and idiosyncracy in this campaign, well... I'd go bald.Well at least you are getting paid for your support.
Wow - just wow.
So - I guess if he never "gets around" to do any of the things he talks about for the US - you won't let that bother you either?
And I guess I am just stupid - but I am not sure what you are trying for with your March in Kenya statement. Clarify?
He will get around to it, that's what I have faith in.
What I am saying is that I work for Latino Outreach, Obama Pride (LGBT), and with Expats for Obama. I am far from being in a position in the campaign to put Barack on a plane to Africa or or advise him to do such.
I am in a position to take his message and translate it to Spanish, create relevant artwork for the Campaign, to take the concerns of the Latin American community, the LGBT family, and of American Expats and communicate them to the campaign.
I'm sorry that you didn't get my sense of humor.
Hey, whoever has signed up to receive the text message for who Obama's VP selection is - please post. I refuse to give my cell phone number to the campaign. -- that is, when that information is texted.
Wow - hope that you are feeling better........
Glad to see you back.

I can't believe that you didn't know about this until now.Of course, they tried to scrub it from the media pretty darn fast after they realized the impact of what he said. Could you imagine him forming it? I just keep thinking back to the movie 'Swing Kids'.
You know, I was pretty shocked that JARNJ3 scored so high - but since she's voting for the man she gets a free pass.
YOU on the otherhand! Shame, shame for scoring so high. You're supposed to be leading our resistance but you're really a double agent aren't you???
says the person who refuses to admit that she scored a 25 on the test...

My job is very specific, and I do it well.
When you go to WDW, you don't expect the parade performers to also check you in at your resort, do you?
My DH didHow could I have married a man who turned into such a rabid Obama supporter. Let me tell you, there's no living with him anymore, particularly when he accosts me in the morning before I am fully awake chanting in a monotone voice "JOIN US"
