Still looking for that birth certificate

show the birth certificate, you showed a certified copy of the certificate. The copy is meaningless for the sake of this argument, too easy to forge. And the unbelievers aren't going to believe if they saw it anyway.

But go back to my question...how does the newspaper announcement not convince you?

I don't need convincing. Obama is a toad wherever he was born.

However, I can tell you that I was once offered by job by the FBI. Ah, I don't think they would have taken a "copy" of my BC or a newspaper announcement.

That's just me.

Both the Marine Corps and FBI accepted my copy with the embossed seal of the county I was born in.

A background investigation follows up on the veracity of all claims. I had a Special BI (SBI) for my sky high clearance/access. It looked into every crevice and orrifice of my life and was redone every five years.

I'm sure the FBI did one on BamBam. Yeah, that's the ticket, I'm sure they did.

J. Edgar would have!

Obama doesn't get a background check. He is an elected official and if the American public thinks hes good enough to run the country a background check is not required.

Think about it, he's elected President and doesn't pass the background check...what do you do, have another election? He can admit he's the head of Al Qaeda and we would have to live with it until the next election or impeach him.

P.S. 70Sixter, you mean SSBI? If you had a SCI, I know you wouldn't be talking about that. Good way to have bad people asking you questions.

Impeachment sounds about right.

We called it Special Background Investigation in my day. Administered by the SSO (Special Security Office).

I did not mention the clearances and accesses, but they were a matter of record in my unclassified jacket. Not linked with what I had access to, of course.

I'm so outdated not even Nigerian secret agents would want to talk to me!

Some of Clinton's key staff never passed their BIs. Not sure about Obama's staffers.

Ture, I wouldn't be to sure on the whole "outdated" thing though. Some national secrets make for good reading.
