Obama: "I can't spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead."

President Barack Obama said Sunday he isn't worried about a recent poll showing that nearly one-fifth of Americans believe he is a Muslim, and that most Americans doubt that he's a Christian, as he claims.

And he doesn't appear to be worried that a growing number of Americans appear to doubt that he's even a US citizen, let alone the natural born variety which the Constitution requires to qualify for the Presidency.

"The facts are the facts," said Obama, who has claimed to be a Christian but has spent most of his Presidency concentrating on "Muslim outreach." In an interview broadcast on "NBC Nightly News," the president blamed the "confusion" over his religious beliefs on "a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly."

A poll released earlier this month by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center showed that 18% of people believe Obama is Muslim. That was up from 11% who said so in March 2009, a leap of more than 50%. Just 34% said Obama is Christian, down from 48% who said so last year. A solid plurality said they weren't sure what religion he followed, though apparently not many people believe he's Jewish. That means that just over a third of Americans believe Obama follows the faith he claims to follow.

"I'm not gonna be worrying too much about whatever rumors are floating on out there," Obama said Sunday, taking time out from another round of golf on his latest vacation, this one for ten days on Martha's Vineyard. "If I spend all my time chasing after that, then I wouldn't get much done,"

Asked about persistent accusations that he wasn't born in the United States, the president responded, "I can't spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead."

His birth certificate has never been produced for public inspection, neither on this forehead nor any other place where the sun shines. Critics have wondered what he is trying to hide, and why he has stonewalled on requests to reveal at which hospital he was born and why the birth certificate he referred to in his book Dreams from My Father has mysteriously disappeared.

Comment by Zach Jones on September 1, 2010 at 2:50pm: Just a quick update regarding Lt. Col. Lakin's trial:

....For Immediate Release, Full Press Release and Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney's Affidavit Embedded Below:

Dear Supporter of Lt. Col. Terry Lakin,

Perhaps the most critical hearing in LTC Lakin's Court Martial will be Thursday at 11:00 at Ft. Meade in Maryland. For details on how you can attend, visit our website at www.safeguardourconstitution.com.

At that time the judge, COL Denise Lind, will formally consider the motions made by the defense for discovery of all of Barack Obama's school records, and all of the records of the State of Hawaii relating to his birth. In fact, Lakin has requested a deposition of the appropriate Hawaiian official concerning those records.

Take care, Zach

The following are a couple of extracts from affadavit:

...The President of the United States, as the Commander in Chief, is the source of all military authority. The Constitution requires the President to be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to hold office. If he is ineligible under the Constitution to serve in that office that creates a break in the chain of command of such magnitude that its significance can scarcely be imagined.

As a practical example from my background I recall commanding forces that were equipped with nuclear weapons. In my command capacity I was responsible that personnel with access to these weapons had an unwavering and absolute confidence in the unified chain of command, because such confidence was absolutely essential-- vital-- in the event the use of those weapons was authorized. I cannot overstate how imperative it is to train such personnel to have confidence in the unified chain of command. Today, because of the widespread and legitimate concerns that the President is constitutionally ineligible to hold office, I fear what would happen should such a crisis occur today.

In refusing to obey orders because of his doubts as to their legality, LTC Lakin has acted exactly as proper training dictates. That training mandates that he determine in his own conscience that an order is legal before obeying it...Indeed, he has publicly stated that he "invites" his own court martial, and were I the Convening Authority, I would have acceded to his wishes in that regard. But thus stepping up the bar, LTC Lakin is demonstrating the courage of his convictions and his bravery. That said, it is equally essential that he be allowed access to the evidence that will prove whether he made the correct decision.

For the foregoing reasons, it is my opinion that LTC Lakin's request for discovery relating to the President's birth records in Hawaii is absolutely essential to determining not merely his guilt or innocence but to reassuring all military personnel once and for all for this President whether his service as Commander in Chief is Constitutionally proper. He is the one single person in the Chain of Command that the Constitution demands proof of natural born citizenship. This determination is fundamental to our Republic, where civilian control over the military is the rule. According to our Constitution, the Commander in Chief must now, in the face of serious-- and widely held-- concerns that he is ineligible, either voluntarily establish his eligibility by authorizing release of his birth records or this court must authorize their discovery. The invasion of his privacy in these records is utterly trivial compared to the issues at stake here. Our military MUST have confidence their Commander in Chief lawfully holds this office and absent which confidence grievous consequences may ensue....

I don't know why he can't. Personally I think he'd look much better with more of his face covered. :)
