Corsi: Where's the Birth Certificate? - image book cover Amazon.com
From:The Drudge Report: Dr. Jerome Corsi, of Swiftboat Fame, has gone into hiding a month prior to his bombshell book release: “Where's the Birth Certificate?: The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President” The book, which is on pre-order on Amazon.com, hit the #2 slot today in pre-orders alone. Available here at Amazon.com,, there is no “preview”, or teaser from the author, the book title alone is enough.
There has been an ongoing controversy over Barack Obama’s birth place, and whether he had been born in the United States or in Africa (Kenya), otherwise, it is alleged he would not be eligible for the presidency. Donald Trump, who has acknowledged the issue and those who are known by the press as “birthers” (a term Donald Trump finds insulting), has taken an enormous amount of heat from pundits to the right and left, including former Bush advisor, Karl Rove for even considering the subject. Although Trump has, on more than several occasions, asked to move away from the subject, he is brought back consistently by eager journalists who downplay the significance of the President’s missing “long-form” birth certificate. A long-form birth certificate is required in many states, including Massachusetts in order to apply for such things as a marriage license and/or passport (preferred by the State Department, not required.)
The books release, prior to the President’s 2012 campaign, should fan the flames of those who were, in the past, convinced that the President was born in Hawaii. However, does it really matter if the President was not born on U.S. soil?
It does not, according to an advertisement allegedly developed by the Northeast Publishers Association “The Eyes Ears and Voice of New York's 3.5 Million African Americans”. The ad, which is published at the blog Redstate.com was released on April 17th . The ad copy here in PDF format via Redstate notes: “ Rhetoric! The US Constitution does not require a candidate for the President of the United States to be born on American soil.” There is another headline: In the case of the Current US President, Barack Obama: under which is cited the definition of a “natural born citizen” under Amendment 22, Section 1, ratified in 1951, which notes that individuals born outside of the United States, to one parent who, during the time abroad gives birth as an American Citizen, having completed military or diplomatic service included in a five year absence allowance.

Furthermore, it is not known if any of the publishers has gone to press with what is described as an educational piece.
Hypothetically speaking, if any of the views and or facts expressed in the book and blog do reveal that the President was not born on U.S. Soil, even if it were under the guidelines of the U.S. Constitution, he may not have been aware. Those who are first generation American’s, regardless of ethnicity or race, find that often in the past, parents or grandparents had “Americanized” their names in order to gain the advantage of being simply “more American” or to “fit in”. Given the time period, that may well have been the case. Therefore, the man may not have been aware that he was not born in Hawaii. In addition, he was never placed under oath, and specifically asked and answered any question regarding his birthplace, so has not broken any laws regarding perjury. (a la Bill Clinton.)
If he was aware, at any time prior to or during his presidency, and neither the book, nor the advertisement is some sort of hoax, then he is guilty of lying to the American Public, in other words, he is a politician and he should resign, or at the very least, suspend his 2012 campaign. This would only serve to cement an already certain one-term Presidency. The problem lays not in the question of his being re-elected (given his less than stellar approval ratings), the problem lays in the fact that those who want to remove the President from office, are not considering the consequences thoroughly, as to who would then become the leader of the Free World. The task, according to the U.S. Constitution, would fall to one Joe Biden, the Vice President – Case rested.
If the man was, prior to this investigation, not aware, then it is more the shame to those who may have known, but pushed his Presidency and career forward, believing in some arrogant universe that they could hoodwink the United States citizens, the world, and even the man himself.
