CNN

Now will you hateful nut cases stop the nonsense and take your legitimate issues to the voting booth? Or maybe your real issue has more to do with the fact that President Obama doesn't look the way think our President should. President Obama's LEGAL birth certificate has been produced and verified by the State of Hawaii. But the haters believe it's counterfeit. If President Obama said the sky is blue, you crazies would find something wrong with that statement - a hidden agenda, a code to terrorists perhaps. You guys need to turn off talk radio and go read a good book . . . you might want to start with The Good Book.

The more radical the Republican party becomes, the more they alienate voters. We need to have a system of checks and balances but if the right wing continues to become more extreme it will be marginalized to the point of being ineffective. The way the Democrats lashed out during the Bush presidency and the way the Republicans are now attacking President Obama both look like acts of desperation by dying political parties. Unfortunately the voice of moderates in this country is hard to hear over the dying screams and convulsive thrashings of both the left and right wing nuts. Extremists seem to make the most noise.

The problem here is that the Republicans knew their convention had dealt them a bad hand with making McCain and Palin their candidates. So they decided to do whatever and support whatever to get votes, now they've got all these lunatics in their party and don't know how the hell to shut them up.

When this nonsense of the birthers came up, Obama showed a legitimate birth certificate. They then responded by saying he'd never produced one. Then they found one that said he was born in Kenya, then were embarrassed to find that it was a fake one using an Australian birth certificate! Obviously someone advised them that the lawsuit had no merit before it was even filed, but they didn't care.

All of this nonsense just embarrasses the U.S. to other countries who wonder why we have all these nutcases here.

What a waste of time. Yeah, lets clog up our already over-burdened court system with garbage like this. Rethugs will do anything to get back into power.....

This is disgusting, no one thought of any other past president as being un- presidential until our president came into office. Now because he does not have blond hair and blue eyes he is some how questionable.This a racist act to him and you B & H people should be ashamed of yourselves. What will you do in 10 to 15 years when someone else out side out the usual race run for president and win, what then ?

Most of you need to do some research on this subject. If the president was not eligible to run for election based on citizenship then it is up to the judge to rule and send that ruling to the Congress for impeachment hearings. Additionally, the election could be invalidated by the election commission. The judge took the easy way out because he didn't want to be a target of the overly aggressive and prejudicial white house. Now, why is this a question? The president could lay this to rest easily but the fact that he won't makes it that much more suspicious. So, for all you judgmental fools in here, you might want to make sure you understand the issue before you go jumping all over someone. One of the people who brought suit against obama was a Democrat. One more thing, For the Sake of all of humanity stop labeling anyone who voices an opinion against the sitting president a Racist. You sound more ignorant than the people you attack.

Good job CNN putting Obama's picture on this article rather than Taitz. She's gotten enough publicity.

It's about time this case be dropped and never spoken of again!
I can't stand how these birthers still lash out on President Obama.
I tell you people who didn't vote for him will come back bad-mouthing, blaming, and claiming he's not eligible to be President (even after being sworn in).

Seriously, get over it!!!!

Interesting that the judge did not throw out the case on its merits, just ruled that it was not within his jurisdiction to rule on a case that would remove a sitting President. Just interesting, don't you think?

Let me get this straight. These people don't want anything to do with the Government. But they want a Judge(Government) to unseat the head of the Government? What the Heck?

It is galling that people who supported a man who twice stole presidential elections and then proceeded to destroy the nation's economy, it's international standing and any sense of shared purpose as a nation are now dedicated to destroying Obama who is or tries to be the uniter his predecessor claimed to want to be.

For the birthers, secessionists, Palintologists and other wing nuts I suggest you all move to Texas, build a golden graven image of your hero, secede to form your more perfect union and that the US build a wall around Texas to keep any of you from immigrating back and reinstilling your venom into the body politic. You are simply poisonous.

What on Earth is wrong with these people? I thought they didn't want anything to do with the Government? Now they want the Government to unseat the head of the Governmet???? What the heck.

CNN is no longer a reliable new source........look at the idiot Rowland Martin!!! NOBAMA! I am sick of seeing his face on the screen! Get to work Obama and stop reading that teleprompter!!!

Drat...conservatives foiled by judicial activism....oh wait....strict constructionism again!

What we have here is a perspective problem. The negativity conceerning the prior 8 years is undoubtedly justified, while the negativity towards this administration is unquestionably unjustified. NUF SED! ! !

Now I see why CNN is # 4 thank God for Fox news!

Party Purity will never bring Political Power!

I am tired of hearing 53% of America elected a black man. He is 1/2 white 1/2 black. Quite bringing race into everything. It's a 50/50 shot on whether you can say black or white man.

Are these people idiots. YES! Should frivolous lawsuit cost fall on the shoulders of who initiates the lawsuit. YES! Maybe there would be a lot less lawsuits in this country and a lot more useless ambulance chasing lawyers roaming this country.

Can we put this to rest now?

This is so stupid im so glad that he was not only elected but selected by GOD to do this job and i know some will not agree with it but thats ok. The truth be told when GOD opens a door no Man can close it i dont care what they may do or say, this President was elected for a reason and there is nothing man can do about it yes some want to kill him or do him harm but no weapon formed against him or any of GOD people shall prosper.

No wonder the rest of the world is laughing at us. And I'm laughing with them!

It should have NEVER been in court!!! The party of NO SENSE is not going to give up!!

Is it so hard to produce a legal birth certificate?????

No, and if the birthers would read and put aside their hatred they would see that the state of hawaii has produced one.

name one presidential candidate or president who in the past has had to show proof of birth and citizenship

R I D I C U L O U S . America, What have you become?????

I admire the judge for making the judgement he did. OBAMA is president get over it already.

And too those who seem to down grade obama. This poor man, steeped it one hell of a mess. Two wars, and Economy that is falling appart due to greed. "Greed=Republicans" they are for big business we would not be in this mess if the republicans were really for the people of the US instead of BIG BUSINESS. I wonder how many Republicans have stock in all the HMO and Insurance companies? No wonder they don't want any health care reform. Their companies will loose profits. Stocks will drop and a few more republicans will have to eat cheap beef instead of Angus beef. Poor republicans.

Goodness folks,
Get over it and relax.
Why is it that you don't want him president?
If he were to be impeached then who, by chain of logic and command would become president?
Joe Biden.
You all talk about how much of a bafoon Obama is, if he was our president then what?
Also, would you want to call new elections? So as to censure our government as in France and England?!
They are socialists! We can't do anything like them, its pure evil!!! Not even help those who need it!

Geez...

Oh and one more thing, McCain was born in Panama. He is not "technically" a U.S. citizen. How come that was never brought up?

Drop it. Plain and simple.

Time for birthers to move on....all they are trying to do right now is cast doubt of President Obama's legitimacy to be president so that by the next election, the seed of doubt will have grown to something very real and therefore....probability of him losing reelection. They are not silly...they are just strategizing for the coming election albeit in a nonsensical and malicious manner. These is just my opinion though...I could be wrong but I smell a rat. There is a motivation behind all this so called birther movement....

When you vote Republican this is what you are supporting people....

The hatred in America is simply pathetic. The Republicans will stop at nothing to get power. They are all dictators and domestic terrorists.

The president did provide proof of birth from the state of Hawaii. He made it available online for all to see. There were also birth notices in the newspaper. This is just a case of more people trying to steal an election. And considering that Bush Jr took over 1000 days of vacation in his 8 years of office (over 1/3 of his presidency) while destroying our country's economy and terrorizing the rest of the world, it is time for all of the finger pointers to crawl back into the hole they came from. Hopefully this time we can seal it shut.

OK birthers – your case is over...now SHUT UP And...

Don't go away mad...just go away...

It took 30 pages for the judge to say, "it's not my job, man?"

For the record; Obama did produce his Birth Certificate. And it was verified by the Republican Govenor of Hawaii. The local paper even had the birth announcement in August of 1961.
However, the "Birthers" don't want facts, they just want the President gone.

we had a natural born disaster called Bush. now we have a thinking man in the WH. Thank God.

Now the Republicans now understand what a "Republic" is, especially now that we have an African American president. I wonder if some of them can even spell the word.

What a bunch of nut cases these Republicans have become. The worst racist is the ignorant one. He or she doesn't even know he/she is racist. It is obvious that when Democrats feel aggieved by the system, they took the constitutional route to resolve the problem. Case in point, Bush v. Gore. BUt for these so – called birthers, they want to circumvent the Constitution. Maybe they should read the Constitution they so professed to love. Does the word, "Impeachment" mean anything to them. These stupid idiots are so stupid, they believe everything they hear from Rush, Glenn, and people of that ilk. I just want them to keep it up because the more they do all these cracy stuff, the more they really show Americans what they are all about.

Oh the birthers. What I wonder is what will happen on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November 2012? What if our President wins in another landslide?

Oh what will be the excuse then?1?!?!?!?!

This so called birther's movement needs to get a life, they are ignorant and a bunch of SORE LOOSERS. The election is over, and for the first time in the history of the United States of America, its not a while male residing in the white house. Freedom atlast.Thank God we finally have a nonwhite as the president of the United states.

BARACK OBAMA WON THE PRESIDENCY. HAWAI AS FAR AS ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS KNOWS. THAT ITS PART OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Get a life.

It might be added, for the long term, addle-brained disbelievers that proof of the presidents place of birth has been formally presented to the persons and offices in charge of verification and cannot be disproved. Sorry folks but he is legal and living outside of the U.S. for any length of time does not negate citizenship.

Racism is alive and well in the U.S.A. The silver lining is that this just makes the party of diversity (Democrats!) that much stronger in our committment to our great constitution and its promises to ALL people.

can somebody explain to me why he would spend 1.6 MILLION dollars to fight the producing of his long form certificate?????? this action to pay out the rear for the blocking of this little piece of paper is an outrage..... if liberals can answer this I will take my best bleeding heart buddy to dinner....

If all of you morons who say, OBama just needs to produce his birth certificate, well he has 2 times. They have also released the birth announcements of 2 different newspapers in Hawaii the day after he was born. Also, before he was elected, the Federal Government verified he was a U.S. citizen, otherwise he would have been disqualified to run for President. Stupidity is alive and well in the Republican Party. Prime examples are George W Bush, Dich Cheney, Sara Paylin, and Michele Bachman. Oh and don't forget Joe Wilson!!!

The country elected a power hungry Muslim who hates America. We don't deserve a quick fix nor is it likely in our longterm interest to have one.

It's hard to believe that there are actually people out there still trying to unseat the president. I realize there are millions of people in the world whose thinking is so poor that they insist on things that are,if nor outright lies, are at least untrue but what does it take for their predjudice to finally take a back seat and for them to accept actuality.

funny funny funny americans. you don't know whether your President should be President before you vote for him ?

Why do so many of you identity with the political parties. Clearly Obama was elected. However, to date he has been rather indecisive and let the Congress take the leadership on major issues. I am quite concerned about (1)his socialist leanings and (2) the stimulus monies being spent which in effect devalues the dollar. He will get us further involved in Afghanistan which will make the Russsians and Chinese happy...while NATO proves it unworthiness. I would like to see him man up for once...perhaps kick the UN out of the
US and make the rest of the world pay for its operations. Is anyone offended.

Shame on you Mike Steele for pushig this. As ususa, you are wrong on every account. Close your mouth!!

Obama DID provide a certified copy of his Certificate of Live Birth. That birth certificate has been authenticated both by bona fide outside experts and by the State of Hawaii which has emphatically certified that the information on the birth certificate provided by Obama is accurate and true: he was born in Hawaii. Period. Get over it.

And the judge was correct. Only Congress can remove a sitting President. Don't like it? Leave. Go take over an island somewhere that you can have your own Constitution. I'll take America and OUR Constitution any day.

We need to rid Washington of all Democraps so this nation can get back on its feet and survive, The longer Barack Oblamo, Nancy Precocious, and Harry Sleaze are in charge, this country is going to continue the downward slide that has characterized Oblamo's term

The guy that is leading this group and filing the suits is a Democrat, not a Republican. It seems that President Obama could end all of this by simply showing a real birth certificate, opening up all of the records that are now sealed and telling his aunt that attended his birth in Kenya to change her story. Has his illegal alien aunt ever been deported or is she still being supported by the US taxpayer?

After 30 or more of these cases, you would think President Obama would just unseal his certificate of birth and his college records for a month or two and let the American people see them, etc. ...why doesn't the transparency he spoke of while campaigning hold true with hisbirth and school records.

The birth certificate has been produced. A while back I read an exhaustive analysis of it with high scan photos and all. There is nothing hidden, nothing left to discuss. Enough already.

It is not a question if Oblamo is eligible to be President, but rather if he is competent to be President. I think we have witnessed thus far that he is in way over his head.

Our only hope as a bation is that the Democrap controlled Congress keeps falling over themselves failing to pass any legislation for the remainder of Oblamo's term.

Why do you put your personal ideology ahead of the good of the country??? Put aside your hatred and allow the USA to move forward.

If Carter had ruled the other way, allowing discovery and trial.... the story would never have made it to main stream media..

It only appeared here in CNN because of the monetary strength and power of the Obama machine.

This is not justice, it is caving to power.

I consider this issue scarcely worthy of a comment. The President was born TO an American citizen ~ it does not matter WHERE ~ although I believe that he was born in Hawaii, which was a state in 1961. Even if he had not been born on U.S. soil, if he is not a "naural born citizen," then neither are all the "army brats" and other children of American citizens who were born offshore. The birthers' argument is rdiculous!

Is it so hard to READ a legal birth certificate? Exactly what part of proof do you "birthers" find most disturbing-perhaps, for starters his skin color?

So they didn't get their old man born in Panama into office and this is what we end up with: another frivolous lawsuit.

Lets put this whole thing to rest finally. I am sick an tired of hearing about these clowns and jokers. They are wasting our hard earning tax payers money to help pay for her crazy unfounded stores. The courts should make her pay personally for such a frivolous claim, lacking any substantial claim, and proof in this matter what so ever.
And i think the republicans party should be sued for pursuing and backing such claims.

So what happens if he wasn't born in the USA? Ok, he's not president...does that mean the birthers want Joe Binden to be Prez?

Or do they think McCain the maverick would step up...so what's the big deal. I guess the millions of people and Congress are total idiots because Obama 'played' everyone.

WOW, Obama is the man if he can pull the wool over all of our eyes.

And the Republicans wonder why so few people will admit to being one them. The party is being deserted by the rational leaving behind only kooks and nut jobs and fat whiners who only complain and don't offer solutions.

Xenophobes, homophobes, flat Earthers, Christian fanatics, etc. That's pretty much what being a Republican means now, you are one of the afore mentioned.

I wouldn't hire this person to be my counselor nor to clean my teeth. Her facts are so screwed up. Maybe if she drops this so called "Birthers" group she might get some clientel for any of her so called "Practices" but than again I wouldn't consider a retainer for this disturbing attorney/dentist.

Why give these people any press at all???

The underlying reason for all this is racism. Certainly not all who are opposed to the President's policies are racist. But there are a lot of people in this nation who can't deal with the idea of an African-American president.

Here's the deal folks. Obama was born in Hawaii after it becasme a state. That makes him a citizen, regardless of where his mother lived or where he has lived since then.

Why do people have such a hard time grasping that?

No matter how you feel about this issue, the fact remains that Obama has never produced a legal birth certificate.

I was recently required to provide my birth certificate, and submitted the "certification of birth" just like Obama's. This was rejected because it is simply a printout from a computer database, and databases can be altered.

I was required to unearth the original "birth certificate," which is the original vintage document prepared at the birth, with the emossed / crimped seal and stamp.

Obama has never produced this document. Why is it that we require ordinary citizens to produce this original document as evidence of birth for very basic legal procedures, yet for validating eligibility for the leader of the free world, we do not require the same rigor?

Regardless of how you feel about Obama, doesn't this bother you?

To everyone who says President Obama needs to grant "us" access to his birth certificate:

"We" already have had access to it, in the form of investigative reporters (the legit kind – not the paranoid kind), the FBI, the Secret Service, the INS and whomever it is that the state of Illinois hires to do their citizenship checking (my guess is they get that info from the Feds).

"We" have had access and President Obama's birth certificate is authentic.

So give it a rest, already!

That was a stupid suit charged up by the repubs. They need to get life and help with some ideas to get us out of this mess.

Why would President Obama put an end to this story when it makes the GOP look like nuts.

To all the people saying that Obama should "just provide his birth certificate", he already has, several times, in several forms. The fact that he was legally born in the USA is without question. Case closed.

The problem is that you have a bunch of conspiracy theorists who will *never* believe he was legally born in the USA, no matter what the actual evidence is. They *choose* to believe this nonsense without any proof, and no one will ever be able to convince them otherwise.

It's just very sad that such a small minority of essentially crazy people are granted such unbalanced attention by the media. They should go back to claiming Big Foot exists, or that aliens from outer space have kidnapped them and performed experiments on them.

These dillweeds have been around since before the election trying to pass this junk off as the "truth." It is a shame that these idiots are part of the gene pool. Too bad Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest didn't include people who actually had brains.

Birthers et al don't deserve a comment.

If he would just present a Birth Certificate this would all go away. Why doesn't he?

I like Obama.
But If he is not a citizen, per both the letter & the spirit of the law, then the VP should assume the presidency.

If Obama is not a legal president, and the courts allow this, laws and the Constitution mean little to nothing.

So let me get this straight: According to the "birthers," President Obama is the result of an elaborate plot hatched on August 4, 1961 in Hawaii.

Two people, Barack Obama, Sr. (Kenyan) and Ann Dunham (Kansan), conspire to place birth announcements in the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star Bulletin, saying they have had a son.

Fast-forward 47 years later ... both Obama Sr. and Ms. Dunham have passed away, but their nefarious plot lives on and has succeeded in electing the first non-U.S. citizen as American President!!!!

Wow – pretty impressive, eh? The part about "birthers" obviously needing to accept the fact that they lost and need to get a life, that is ...

If Obama had a name like Smith or Jones, he would not be under such attack.

Several people have remarked that Obama could put the matter to rest by producing his birth certificate. He has, multiple times. He was born in the US, Hawaii was a when he was born; therefore, he's a "natural born citizen." Case closed–as it should have been long, long ago.

The Board of Elections and the DNC should be convicted of fraud for not verifying the eligibility of this man to even run for President.

No wonder there is doubt about the legality of his presidency. According to Obama's paternal grandmother , half-sister, and half-brother, Obama was born in Kenya. His grandmother said she was present at the birth.

How long did it take for him to find that little loop hole.

John McCain was born in the hospital at the Coco Solo submarine base in the Panama Canal Zone – and like all "Zonians," he is a natural born U.S. citizen.

If he had been elected president, would these same "birthers" be filing frivilous lawsuits in court, trying to unseat him because he was not born in the continental U.S. and "his citizenship was invalidated by living overseas as a child"?

Come on people – don't you think the Secret Service and/or FBI checked this out when he was a candidate. Or are they in on it to?
Hmmmmmmm......

Stop your insidious bickering, America, and try and pull your country out of the sh.tter. Why are you guys so hellbent on totally destroying your own country? Wise up!

I don't know if he's a citizen or not. I can't stand him though because I can't find a job because of that guy.

It could all be solved by providing a valid birth certificate. Why won't Obama produce a birth certificate that is valid?? Can you liberal hatemongers answer that very elementary question. No he has not.

Liberals need to stop their defending Obama on all issues and start asking some real valid question....Lib's are clueless.

I had to show a birth certificate to get my drivers license....and it is not required to meet the qualifications to be the President as dictated by the constitution....how rediculous is that???? Falls right in line with Obama's relentless attack of the constitution. You are losing your liberty, freedom of speach, and you are giving generations a debt that will never be paid! Grow up and get smart Liberals!

You know.. One think that is starting to really tick me off is how we.. the American people continue to try to find ways to unseat the man that won the presidential election. That man is President Obama. Look, I'm Republican and will always be that. I have respect for the man and the position that he holds. This needle in the haystack that some are trying to find is getting old and to be honest, proving the ignorance of some people. Ya'll should think back into the Nixon years. If the president is removed, then guess what? You get President Biden... Oh, and it gets better. If he goes down, then it's President Pelosi. So all I can say is... Sit up... Listen up... and Shut Up... Be careful what you wish for......

Have a nice day....

Good call.
When are these crazie pepole going to accept the fact that teir guy lost and Obama won, and the funny thing about it is that John McCain was the one born outside the U.S in the Panama Canal Zone, he may of been born legaly an American but the fact is still humerous.
I wan not happy with George Bush but I followed the rules and waited untill we had a chance to legaly change the sitting parties.

The left wing nuts who have responded to this story are the true haters in this country. They adore the leader of the party of death that stands by each day and allows scores of babies to be aborted because their trashy mothers and fathers were to drunk or high or ignorant to use birth control yet condemn the right for wanting to defend the country from Muslim extremists. This country is weaker now than ever and fading fast because the hypocrits on the left are too ignorant to see how they are destroying everything this country stands for. Dont call Republicans dispicable, etc......rather, look in the mirror and realize you represent everything evil and horrible about this country.

Do you think the birthers and the Tea Baggers care what the courts rule. They don't care. They believe they are right no matter how contrary to the Constitution their beliefs are.

This just shows how easily these undereducated people are led by unscrupulous manipulatorslike Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, and Dick Armey.

For the last time:
Obama's birth certificate is available online you fools. Learn to use google images and read news articles.
CNN, please stop this by simply posting a truth meter or statement like "Obama presented his birth certificate and made it available in an attempt to end the controversy." One line, all the difference.

To all you rabid Obama "Kool-Aid" drinkers and HATERS of all conservatives:
The so-called "Birther's" movement is driven by a 28-year veteran Democrat, the (former?) deputy-attorney general of Pennsylvania, Phillip Berg. He is a strict Constitutionalist and definitely NOT a Republican nor a conservative (Yes, there is a difference!)

So STOP with the "trash-talking" against those who disagree politically with Obama's socialist agenda.
It is YOUR hatred that is poisioning the political waters, not the Republicans or conservatives.

Leave the President alone!!!!!!!!!!!

"Disregard the constitutional procedures"? Since when did that stop the right?

This is a croc of crap. It only admits that the congress and judical system does not want to own up to the fact they made a mistake> In the meantime we will have to endure this muslim tearing our country apart.

How ironic!!

The very people who who claim to be defenders of the constitution are demanding to disregard the constitution as a means for their end.

Hey folks, wasn't the birth certificate produced? or maybe it wasn't YOUR type of certificate?!

Hopfully we only have a few more years to argue about Obama and his socialistic ways!

Go away birthers, just go away! Obama HAS produced a birth certificate. The state of Hawaii has confirmed it. There is even a Hawaiian newspaper clipping floating around out there announcing the birth.

So either ACCEPT the fact that Obama is the President OR FIND ANOTHER COUNTRY you racist morons!!!!

That is why they call it a nuissance lawsuit. Because they are.

Here we go again, "Obama have one less thing to worry". Yes, consevative CNN reporter. Do you want blood from Obama now.

This is getting sillier and sillier, Obama's birth certificate has been available for the public to see since this stupid issue came up. It's called a 'Certificate of live birth', the same as my own children and all the children born in the USA have. This is simple minded desperation. For the record, McCain was born in Panama, he had two US citizens for parents and was born on a US military base, Barry Goldwater ran in'64, he was born in Arizona when it was only a territory. His parents were citizens. Get a grip people. The court made no ruling as to merit because it is not within it's jurisdiction. I'm an immigrant and I get it.

For all of you saying he needs to show a legal birth certificate...go online it can be found there.

P.S. If I was President Obama I wouldn't show it to you either...it gives credence to your craziness. What would be next? We want to see Bo Obama's dog lisc?

Instead of wasting time on the birth place, try to find a health care reform and come up with reasonable suggestions. Don't just say that "our health care is the best", because it isn't. Start spending your time on something that might benefit the American people.

People, Obama has presented only his short-form birth certificate and an official document that says Obama has a birth certificate. Obama NEVER provided his long-form birth certificate. Obama would resolve all questions/problems if he simply provided his long-form birth certificate. I'm not sure why he's withholding this information. He may very well have been born in this country, but perhaps there is other information on the long-form birth certificate he doesn't want his children or wife to know about.

Hillary Clinton supporter

Well, I guess the "nutcase lobby" had better try another approach.

I am a white senior citizen. I believe that we have a brilliant President Obama, who is duly elected, after 8 years of Bush's worst presidency. President Obama is liked and respected by the entire world. Yet it is a shame that we have a number of unpatriotic and idiotic hate- monger racists on this blog. Such idiots have nothing better to do but just spew venom about our great President. These idiiotic racist haters have ruined a once great Republican Party.

This group of loons will never learn. They will never take of their tin foil hats while chasing flying saucers and JFK's assassin. These fools may have had a legitimate concern a year ago, but this issue has long since been settled. They won't care about your "facts". That's just fodder for them to ignore.

Only in America can a group of idiots bring a lawsuit that results in a 30 page decision that essentially says you hired the wrong advisers cause I can't do anything for ya!

The outcry for a 'legal' birth certificate is all a sham. There is nothing that will convince them that the President is an American Citizen.
Newsweek had a copy of the Certificate on its cover a few months back.
They just don't like him. Period.

And they resent losing the election to him as much as Democrats resented the Supreme Court decision in 2000 and the re-election of Bush in 2004.

All the cryer's and complainers about the socialist Health care plan will be first in line to see the doctor if it passes.This is Sick people.Ya"ll act like little spoiled brats!

Does any birther really think the GOP would have let Pres. Obama be elected if there was even a shred of viable proof?

Even BO's biggest opposition think this is a dumb argument. LET IT GO PSYCHOS!

Well most of you are idiots....he did present his birth certificate when all this started.
Don't you think that Clinton, Newt, Palin, Rush and countless others would have JUMPED at the chance to dispute his citizenship if they had any chance?....and I hate to admit it but they are smarter then the people I see posting here

The simple truth is that a lot(not ALL, not even most) of you simply are trying to find a reason to get rid of Obama, you don't like his face, his name, his color....you think others can't see it, but to the intelligent its obvious.

Vote against him if you want in the next election...otherwise stop wasting our time and giving minorities even more reason to distrust and therefore try to work against you.

mcphony was not born in the us. thats the truth

Can we get this straight, obama HAS provided his birth certificate.. we have his birth announcements... we have the governor of hawaii having seen the long document, honestly, what the hell do the birthers have? They say "lets see the birth certificate!" but lets be reasonable, even if one of these birthers had the actual original document in their hand, they'd STILL claim it's a forgery, nothing can satisfy them. They're like the moon landing deniers, nothing, nothing at all, can satisfy them.

This is a waste of time, and a testament to the idiocy of the fanatic right.

(Note, not to say the fanatic left isn't without its fair share of idiots too, I mean just look at the anti-vaccine movement... yeah, screw medical science -_-; )

christian inbreeds is all they are.

when you hear and see such lunacy and you realize that its based on the number one fact that President BO is black, it makes you realize that no matter how far we have come in this country, things will always stay the same. The Republicans really has a mess hear that cannot be correct unless they move in a diffrent direction.
Will this happen? NO................................

how many times does the guy have to produce his birth certificate and the looneys on right keep saying, "just produce the birthcertificate" he has produced it already!!! LET IT GO BIRTHERS and find some other radical idea to get behind, like Obama's body is taken over by aliens from another planet!!! Wackos wasting the court's time!!

Time to Sterilize all the GOP Birthers, before their genes further pollute an already sub-standard gene pool.

Forget the birthers. They're in palin's cult.

Another SC politician was caught "doing it".

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

The people who believe the President wasn't born in the United States will still believe it even with the dismissal of this suit. I doubt the Democratic Party would have nominated a candidate that was not qualified by the Constitution. the President was Born in Hawaii in April 1961 and that is that. Barrack Obama is President of the United States and the birthers need to get over it. If you don't like the gentleman get rid of him the right way. At the ballot box.

If these so called 'patriotic citizens' knew their countries history, this would not be an issue. History review, when did Hawaii become a state? 1959. Here's a tip from a professional: read a book. I promise, its not that hard.

Incredible... 20% of the people posting here are brithers. These people really need to get a clue. Good Lord, even Ann Coulter has disowned them. You have to be way out there for that to happen.

But, all that said, they are very funny.

Is it so hard to READ a birth certificate?

The man Suing Barack H. Obama, or should I say Barry Soetoro....is also a Democratic Committeeman.

If Obama actually produced a birth certificate as sueb suggests, the birthers would claim it to be a forgery. So why should he bother?

For all those saying that he has not provided his birth certificate... He has. This case is closed. Only is it still alive in the eyes of fools.

And ALL Obama has to do is to produce a certified copy of his birth certificate! What's so difficult about that? Would it be any different if George Bush were the topic of this discussion? OF COURSE it would be!

"I don't think I have ever heard of a president trying to hide so much."

Naive much? Presidents hide more than you'll ever know about. And have done so with things that are far more offensive and dangerous than this nonsense the birthers have started.

Is it so hard for you people to accept that we have an intelligent, well traveled, well educated man for president? Were you really THAT enamored with Bush and his cronies?

Its funny that everyone is crying out what they are trying to do. I don't agree with it but it seems like a resemblance to what the Democratic party was trying to Bush the whole time. Impeach Bush I remember was a vastly though thing during his last few years. Every side does it. So stop your crying.

Morons, like the birthers, should not be allowed to continue to tie up our court system with frivolous law suits. The next time a birther brings a suit like this, please slap them with a hefty financial penalty. Thanks, your honor.

I don't understand why he can't just produce the original birth certificate if it is no big deal. Then this would all be over. I just requested my birth certificate to get a passport. Took 2 weeks. Why won't he just produce it and be over with all of this? Those that doth protest too much?????????

3 more years!

What is this? This is absolute madness. 'Birthers' are a bunch of maniacs. This is clearly showing that they do not accept the fact that an African American got elected as the president. On the contrary this could be the plan another attack by the elephants trying to create an earthquake on the grounds of the donkeys. This may yet turn out to be an epic failure. Hopefully, this will not be in the favor of Birthers.

Republicans waste soooo much time. They have acheived absolutely NOTHING!

Okay, this is just crazy! Has everyone forgotten high school social studies? Depending on the laws of the time, I believe Obama can also claim citizenship through the fact that his mother and grandparents are all American citizens. He gains citizenship through his parent!

Just b/c you didn't get your way stop wasting this country's time and money with your nonsense! Get a real cause!

"Birthers" to what... lies, deception, hatred and racism? They show the world how foolish and petty they are. Why don't they use their time and money to lift people up, lend a helping hand to make America stronger, not divided and weaker?

Republicans will do and say anything to derail the American people away from what is reallllly important in this country. Republicans don't care anymore. ...they've become almost child like.

I am more curious as to why he won't release his school records, what is the big deal about that?? To me, it says he does have something to hide, what doesn't he want us to know.?

Methinks all this negativity towards a president who is an outstanding, and altruistic gentleman who can carry a big stick when he has to, is just a lot of sour grapes.

I verily applaud the Courts for not entertaining such madness from the so-called "birthers" or "haters". At some point, filing a frivolous lawsuit should carry a very stiff Penalty. Wasting the tax payers' money on something this unrealistic should not be tollerated.

And just who are we suppose to believe? The honorable US District Judge David O. Carter, or the Dimwits.

He HAS provided a birth certificate. As for it being a fake I guess someone was planning this years ago when the Honolulu paper printed his birth announcement?? These people are grasping at straws. Why not spend their time and money to solve problems within the Republican party to come up with a serious challenge in 2012?

The court was correct to reject and dismiss this absurd suit by the birthers. This case had no logical or legal merit in the first place. The people who brought this suit should have been fined and assessed fees for wasting tax payer's money and the court's time with this nonsense. President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, an American state and is defacto, an American citizen. The fact that Obama lived in Indonesia for four years does not invalidate his American citizenship any more than it would the citizenship of any other American. This entire episode belies the absurdity of racism and hate.

This all started with John Mccain last year. There have been elections were the running or elected president with concerns over his birth place was in question. Many still believe that Chester A Arthur was born in Canada. I think there is a book about it. Its was never proven true or false,. and hundred and plus years later its still talked about. Most people would questioned Mccain's birth place because it was on an army base in Panama Canal in 1936. But hey we just love to waste time in this country.

Well now isn't that a cowardly dodge. The man should have never been allowed to run and prosecuting that issue isn't at all limited to Congress. Congress IS allowed to remove a legitimately elected president, but ALL of us have a duty to uphold OUR Constitution if we don't wish it to fall.

It is absolutely scary that certain elements ( the hate mongerers) in this country disguise themselves as patriots when in fact they are as far removed from the essence of this great nation as anyone can get. They are the REAL unpatriotic groups. So pathetic in their blind hatred and the epitome of the lunatic fringe.

. . . And he's not eligible because these nut cases SAY so?

You have got to be kidding Me...What a Shame...What a Waste

His birth certificate is on the internet. Google it. And it is, in fact, a birth certificate, despite the fancy name. Birth certificate, certificate of live birth. I fail to see the difference honestly. They both certify that he was born.

Split the GOP. Let the Rush/Palin/Wilson nutcakes wander off stage right into ideological oblivion, and the rational ones (McCain/Graham/Powell) will take the other 80% of the conservative base, half the independents, and a sizable portion of the left-center.

Obama has provided his information so these people need to drop it already. I know about his heritage and I know it's rumored he applied for his Fulbright scholarship as a "foreign national." But quite frankly people applying for college scholarships, college entry etc use anything they can to their advantage or as an edge, including the claim of being 1/8 American Indian.

Drop it and move on already. The bottom line for most people is we want some decisions on Afghanistan, Iraq, alternative energy etc.

Many people have commented about the "birther" movement being disgusting. And the "birther" movement is ridiculous however the 'truthers" are absolutely despicable.

The only possible reason Obama would allow this to go on is if he indeed has something to hide. And I suspect he does. He was born in Kenya and admitted this during an interview when he was running for the senate. It is such a farce that this administration is all about "transparency" yet he won't reveal any document about himself including college transcripts or his original Hawaii birth certificate. It really makes you wonder what he has to hide. Both part leadership (headed by George Soros) know that he is not a US citizen. The corruption in this country goes very deep.

The Court can't rule outside of it's jurisdiction. Jurisdiction can't be waived or ignored.

If people understood the const. they would understand the ruling.

Do you morons really think that he was sworn in as President of the United States by not producing a birth certificate? Get real.

Notice how the case isn't dismissed on *merit*, but rather by jurisdiction.

Then again, all these so-called 'birther' cases are dismissed on something OTHER than merit.

What a sad case this country has become.

You neo-confederate goons really need to get a life. Obama's mom and her family were citizens regardless of a piece of paper.

Let's see if i can "get this right"... The Obama Adminsitration Pay$ the Taliban, so it can produce Heroin, to support the corrupt Kharzi Bros. so that American Soldiers can be killed in Afghanistan so that we can kill Afghani civilians who practice a "gutter religion" to spread the words of the "false pedeophile prophet" so that we can borrow the funds from China so that we can drive Japenese cars and enjoy "free healthcare" so that our teenage boys and girls can be unemployed and enlist in an army fighting an unjust war so that we can pay$ to the Kharzi Bros...

Stop the World I want to get off!!!

LoL. Only a moron would recognize the legitimacy of this argument since most of those who buy into this don't know that Hawaii is a state. It will be more truthful for these wingnuts to present to the US Courts: "I just don't want Obama as president because he's racially mixed black man with a Muslim name."

The leaders of the birther movement keep beating the bushes for donations. Where does all the money go? When are the birthers going to realize they are SUCKERS? It's alll about the money – not the law.

these clowns will not stop this nonsense. there hate is blinding them to no end.

Carter's ruling said the plaintiffs were trying to persuade him to "disregard the constitutional procedures in place for the removal of a sitting president."

"The process for removal of a sitting president – removal for any reason – is within the province of Congress, not the courts," the ruling said.

The Plantiffs were trying to twist and disregard constitutional proceedures instead of realizing what they were fighting for was a
BIG FAT LIE.

The neo-con right wing faction of the Republican party will, without hesitation attempt every means possible to take out the President or bring down the United States in order to gain political power by default.

After legal attempts fail, the next step will be civil disobedience by anonymous violence and intimidation. As a final assault the neocons will resort to direct attacks on either the President, his administration or members of congress at the federal or state level.

There may be hope and it may or may not be with the current President, but I believe that the good will of the American people will prevail over the neo-con Republican right and the socio-lib Democratic left.

The ignorant tying up their time and making it widely known how crazy they are.. while they support the GOP! THANKS GOPPERS' DROPPER'S! Your ignorance is quite helpful! The moral: Just keep publicly showing your stupidity! Us Dems are LOVING IT!

I forgot to add.....................

If this judge gave a 30 page ruling............This means that he looked at the evidence.

And, if he looked at the evidence--it does not appear that he thinks that those who filed the lawsuit-–or the evidence-–is unfounded, or beyond being questioned.

His ruling simply implied---that at his level, he does not have the power to do anything.

I would like to ask the birthers a question:

What if a DIFFFERENT African American "left of center" Democrat would have been elected President?

Would you guys be questioning that person's citizenship also?

This BOGUS issue is sore loserism at it's worst.

The "Birthers" have got to be largest group of uneducated, crazies out there. Get a life people!

Why aren't the birthers requesting Joe Biden's birth certificate? If they think they can prove he is not legite, then automatically Biden becomes President and Pelosi VP. Do they get a pass?

Anyone born in Hawaii after the annexation in 1898 when Hawaii became a U.S. territory with the overthrow of the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii was entitled to full American citizenship and would be eligible to be elected president of the United States. The only rights we did not have as a Hawaii resident until statehood in 1959 was the opportunity to take part in presendial elections, electing our governor and our congressional representatives to the US Senate and the House of Representative.

Thank you, Judge Carter!!! Integrity and common sense! Two "perks" that you will NOT find in the Republican party!!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...but why would Obama spend over $800,000 to hire lawyers to "lock-up" ALL his records, if there wasn't anything to hide??? Gee, how will anyone be able to write his autobiography? Oh silly me, of course...he'll write his own!!!

I can't believe these moronic "birthers" are at it again. They would be laughable if they were not so pathetic.

This is beyound rediculous. Factcheck.og has had their hands on the official certificate and if you look back at the Honolulu newspaper back in the day there is a birth announcement. Get off it already and please CNN, stop giving these lunatics airplay!

How many times does Obama's birth certificate need to be published (front and back), affirmed by the Hawaii Dept of Vital Statistics as legitimate and backed up with birth announcements published at the time of his birth before this gang of lunatics moved on to a new obfuscation for racism and hatred?

He has provided his birth certificate what does he have do mail a copy to every idiot on the right . Please you guy need to go away the rest of us has a country to put back together .

Attn : birthers! A birth certificate WAS proven...if you knew how to do your own research you'd see it yourselves... I swear you people are complete nut jobs!

Can't wait for the birthers next act.

Figures – this is how the right wingers 'get things done'? By tossing aside the US Constitution if it becomes a hindrance to their beliefs? We would all be wise to remember crap like this in 2012.

haha, in response to corey's saying that "if Bumbles can do something against the Constitution, like passing socialist healthcare" i am not at all in favor of converting this country to socialism (and neither is our president) but to start saying all this stuff is against the constitution is ridiculous. I just recently took my SAT2 and AP US History test, and i can tell you that there is nothing in the constitution that prohibits socialist type legislation or governance. Many of our founding father (Hamiltion, Adams and many others) were actually very aristocratic and socialist in nature. Know your history before you start making generalized statements which simply go along with republican talking points to attempt to discredit our president.

John McCain was never even born in the US in terms of the 50 states and DC. His mom gave birth to him at a US Naval hospital in the Canal Zone-which is now officially Panama. Also, of the first 10 US Presidents and of the first 10 US Vice Presidents; 9 US Presidents and 6 US Vice Presidents were born BEFORE the Declaration of Independence was even signed.

Also, except for the one President, neither one of the first 10 Presidents or first 10 Vice Presidents were born BEFORE the Constitution was even ratified by first of all Delaware or the colony even became a state. Among those who are not quote, "natural citizens of the United States" end quote Washington (who wrote the Constitution) and Jefferson (who did the Declaration of Independence). Does that disqualify them as the 1st and 3rd US Presidents and in Jefferson's case, the 2nd Vice President?

Google snopes.... all the proof you need from Hawaii that President Obama is INDEED and American citizen. You birthers are vile. You really believe that aside from all the legal documents from Hawaii that two Hawaiian newspapers printed a fraudulent birth announcement in 1961? Was someone truly a prophet and knew that in 2009 this child would become President and might need a phoney birth announcement ? Get real.... forget your REAL Agenda and the reason for it... President Obama, a mulatto won the election!!!!!!! Deal with it!

The LEGAL birth certificate has been produced and posted on-line.... you morons. Do you really think Obama has fooled the Secret Service, the CIA, the FBI, and Homeland Security? How many brain cells do you have?

When a birth takes place in a hospital, the mother gets a pretty certificate where everything is written in by hand – names, dates, etc. Now let's say a year or so later you need an official copy because you can't find the original 'pretty' one from the hospital because of a fire, divorce, misplaced, whatever. You have to get one from Vital Record (or equivalent, depending on the state), and what you get is the same thing that Obama got from Hawaii and is posted on line – a computer printout that is completely LEGAL (unlike the the harassment Obama is getting from the GOP losers).

This STUPIDITY never should have been an issue to begin with.

These people just can't stand the fact that our President is an African American.

This STUPIDITY is nothing but pure RACISM, plain and simple.

Why didn't the birthers get all up in arms about John McCain, who actually WAS born outside the US?

Nonsense! from conservatives! who want to maintain their aristocratic agendas!!. Stop victimizing President Obama!! he is more intelligent than all conservatives combined. You whine about abortion, he preaches about responsibility!! which is more correct. Pathetic conservatives talks about the right of children to live!!! I agree with you 100% but before that, please remember 2 consenting adults have to remove their clothes and have sex!!. Lets stop the culture of extenze, viagra and ciares before we start talking about abortions and Obamas eligibility after all this guy is the best thing which have ever happened in America!!

How much did this cost the American people ?????????

SEND THE BIRTHERS THE BILL $$$$$$$$$$

That was a big waste of energy for another LIE!

I'm a life long Republican and even I think these "birthers" are nuts.
Please when you criticize these idiots, don't bunch them in with all Republicans.
You'll be surprised to know how many of us think these people are crazy.
Let it go already. Obama is the POTUS.
If you want him gone, let's come up with someone better qualified to do the job and stop wasting energy on tin foil hat ideas.

McCain was born in the Canal Zone, a US protectorate until Carter gave it away, and NOT Panama.

And no one is really questioning if Obama is a "bona fide" citizen! Rather we question whether he is a natural born citizen, since he has not shown proof to that effect. CNN: READ YOUR CONSTITUTION!

Judge Carter did have technically correct right to dismiss and the counsel was not the best. However, do not gloat for long because his coup will be exposed for the sake of history and the Constitution.There are people just warming up. Consider these federal actions warmups.Lessons have been learned and patriots,not birthers will see this thing through. He is ineligible by dint of his stated sire that through "Framers intent" can not be seen otherwise. Also, it is being discovered his COLB that the media likes to wave around is unauthenticated by the Dept. of Health Hawaii. The proof is in the pudding and that is happening. Expect very exciting litigation to occur in Hawaii.Even if he is not removed...TRUST ME...his credibility will. Everyone will know that the rule of law was raped in broad daylight.

the people who keep saying "it hasn't been decided on the merits" don't understand the constitutional requirement of separation of powers. There are areas in which courts cannot act because the constitution doesn't permit them to do so. The same people who are (incorrectly) claiming that the constitution renders President Obama ineligible would walk over another part of the constitution to try to prove that. And would be the first to scream "activist judge" when it suits their purposes.

Why do people continue to question the legitimacy of the birth certificate if the judge mentions it's submission as providing contrary evidence?

Ha-ha! Now quite wasting OUR tax dollars on such rediculously frivilous crap that ties up our court systems! Such absurdly ignorant fools that obviously feel that are worthless individual's unless they are spreading hate and tainting OUR country with whatever they can fictiously or 'mentally' drum up! What a shame and a waste upon all of us.. ESPECIALLY during such trying times this country and world is having! I guess terrible people like these have no where else to go but to stoop even lower.

Why doesn't he show the original birth certificate so this problem can go away.

I wish people would stop listening to the outrageous claims of talk radio and start looking at reality. Obama was elected President by an overwhelming majority. No Administration trumped constitutional rights more than George Bush, Dick Cheney and the rest of that crowd. Nor did this country fall into such a poltical, domestic and foriegn policy nightmare without much assistance from the previous administration. The blatant disrespect for this President is appauling.
I was called un patriotic because I disagreed with the Iraq war, but its okay to carry pictures of a white faced joker Obama in the name of health care?? get real!!!

His place of birth has nothing to do with it. He could have been born in Kenya, but if he was born from an American citizen mother and an American citizen father he was still be a natural born American citizen and qualify to be President. But in his case he wasn't born by two American parents. He is not a natural born citizen.

liberals lie so much they don't even know what a lie is any more. The only reason this clown is in the white house is because of the liberal left media that covered up for him. That and Oh yeah ACORN voter fraud. Why doesn't he just produce his original document. It's only the American presidency after all. Dems are dispicable to have forced this joker on us and divide the country this way.

This is just right wing nutjobs at work

Does anyone think that George W Bush is really a "Texan""....come on.

Anything will be tried by these idiots.

John McCain was spposedly born in Panama...where is the outrage about him??? Typical GOP hypocrisy

This is such a racial issue. Rebublicans don't paractice what they preach!

Just to clear up the gloating over Judge Carter's ruling. I wish I could say he had no right to throw it out,he really did have grounds in that a Quo Warranto of this nature must be handled in the DC Court. Also, the counsel was not the best even though

So what the court was saying is we need to petition Congress for impeachment of this illegitimate White House squatter! That really should not be hard to accomplish given most if not all Republicans and Independent members of both the House and Senate will favor it as well as those Democrats disillusioned by his wanting to make health insurance mandatory for all Americans; making it a crime for any individual citizen not to have proof of health insurance when asked for identification by the police, much as it is for not having proof of vehicle insurance. Pretty soon there will be insurance prisons just to house those who don't pay the companies giving kick backs to Osama and his crowd.

The weirdest fact about the birthers is the ring-leader is Dr. Orly Taitz, not a natural-born citizen herself, . A sometime dentist in CA and a sometime lawyer. She's an immigrant from Russia which makes this entire disgusting episode even more suspicious.

its too late we have a socialist/marxist running the country. we're done for and its too late.

Why not produce a birth ceterficate and elimanate all the court cost! Just more for the tax payers to pick up the tab on. I have mine, don't you?

I'm so proud of this President. I'm so proud of the American people for electing this President. It's such a pleasure to have a person of intelligence in the office. God Bless America.

I really despise obama but I think enough is enough from these idiots. There are many things to indict obama on but this issue is a waste of time and energy.

What a waste of public funds! Another waste of time and money propagated by a Republican!

But, I'll be generous...I'm sure you guys can find something else about the Prez to pick on.

OK, here it goes one more time.
All Republicans, tea party people (or what ever you call yourselves), mavericks, conservatives, GOP, religious right and if I left any thing out I am very sorry.
Barack Obama won the election! That's right, he won. We had an election, americans voted and he came out on top.
Now he and his administration has the job of cleaning up the last 8 years of hell the american people and the world had to endure.

Take that you stinking 'birthers'! Now, go help someone in need instead of wasting your time here on Earth.

One of you said Obama should just come up with his birth certificate. Where have you been? He did that. It is a required document to be able to campaign for the Presidency.

The judge should have allowed the lawsuit to go to court as the birth certificate from Hawaii has not been proven to be valid. Obama is not a legal citizen and should never have run for the presidency. McCain was born in Panama but he was born as the child of a man serving there in the military and where ever a military man is serving overseas his children are American citizens if he just has his wife living on the base with him. The liberals in congress keep making it a racist thing for anyone who opposes the covert socialist muslim traitor.

Which other President has had so many crazy people question the legality of his citizenship?

I certainly hope the Right Wing Conservative Republican Party of failure keeps this up because it will lead to a 400+ electoral vote land slide reelection.

These people are obviously ...The same people that that want tort reform?!

The Birthers are midless Zombies devoid of any intelligence. These droolers spend their day listening to Rightwing hate radio. No wonder their brains are fried! These people should be deported they truly aren't real Americans. Such an embarassment they are! Americas shame!

Oh, and just to be fair, all these birthers should provide proof that all their previous presidents were also born in America. I don't think any other president, or for that matter, any of these 'birthers' themselves individually would stand up to the level of investigation Obama has been subjected to regarding his place of birth.

Why pay million's to have his past sealed? Would you do that unless you had something to hide. If it was a Repulican. You would be shouting the same thing. Don't be a hypocrite. By the way I'm indep. I'm sick of the democrats and republican's.

If it wasn't for PRESIDENT OBAMA and his capable administration, our economy would probably have collapsed. When will these foolish birthers do something worthwhile?

Interesting how all the major news organizations that had stories on Obama as "Kenyan" born in their older articles going back to 2005 have all now "Updated" them and changed or taken out the statement of his foreign birth all together. All's well at the memory hole, I guess. War is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength

Even if Obama was removed, that would make Biden President, not McCain... so what difference does it make? I guess GOP would just prefer a White Dem. president instead of a Black Dem. president. Thats about the only outcome that would arise even if they did win so what the..??

Good for the judge – I hope all the court costs have to be paid by the birthers.

President Obama is the best thing to ever happen to this country!! Where would we be if it was still Bush or McCain (and I like McCain very much!)

so....it's not dismissed, just passed the buck to a liberal congress, so they can bury the crime. The judge was probably threatened like joe the plumber and Gov Rod....Obama's a thug, and unfit to lead this nation.

Too bad obama sealed all of his records that could prove he was born in the U.S.. Even his own grandmother from kenya said she was present at his birth, since she never left kenya obama had to be born in kenya making him ineligible to be President. All you people that want to compare this with Mccain's birth,sorry but Mccain provided his real birth certificate proving he was born on a military base which is considered U.S. soil.

Really? Provide a real birth certificate? Would that shut up the birthers? Probably not, they'd just say it's fake and each and every one of them would demand to hold it in their own hands.

CNN, why don't you produce a link in this article showing the FACTS of the case, including the birth certificate that has been publically available all this time. Afraid that producing the facts and putting a controversy to rest will not get you more advertisement dollars?

I love these Birthers! It's nice to know that the Democrats aren't the only ones with the true whack jobs!! I say MORE BIRTHERS AND PALIN!!!

Obama has produced the original birth certificate. It has been available not just online, but the actual hard copy item has been seen and reviewed by dozens of experts, including those from the right. No other president in history has been so thoroughly scrutinized about their birth. What more do you want? A time machine that transports you back to Hawaii to the very event of the birth??? But then again, these 'birthers' would rather have McCain, who was actually born in Panama, making him sooo much more legitimate presidential material.

First, no amount of evidence will satisfy these people. But the Democrats have to enjoy this because it really paints all Republicans as complete nut jobs.

So is the birth certificate legit or not they didn't mention that. All they said its up to Congress to take out a standing President and we know that won't happen as its all Democratic.

Glad the judge realizes his constitutional limits – he's right, the constitution lays out how to remove a president – impeachment. I would that all judges would be constrained and let our representatives represent.

Obama has produced his birth certificate..........and the Governor of Hawaii has certified it ...WHAT MORE DO YOU Idoits want !!!!! Let's see the leader of the pack has a foreign accent....maybe they 're not a U.S. citizen.

as one who has followed the issue for a long time, I'd like to inform the 'people' that Obama's COLB posted on the internet are forgeries.
The media has lied to you. Obama has not shown his B.C. The one they hold up has a major flaw as a copy of the real deal.. The Hawaii emboss seal. The one item that CAN'T be duplicated. Go to Factcheck and get a look at the seal.
Can you read Department of Health State of Hawaii?
The current inhabitants in the WH thinks you are all dupe's, are you?

Will the morons who still believe that the birth certificate hasn't been made public LEAVE the country? We don't need any more of you idiots in the U.S.

The valid (or *legal*) Hawaiian birth certificate for Pres. Obama HAS been released to the public AND independently verified as such by state officials in HI and the Annenberg Public Policy Center in PA.

What a waste of time and money! This is why the Republicans have not credibility for me....whether I agree or disagree with Obama, Republican hypocrites are the worst.

R U 4 Real?

Gosh when is all this crop going to stop!
All those loney bins A.K.A as rethuglicansits about time they get a life
They are burning up with jealousy.Lol

Why won't the court rule if the birth certificate is valid? That is the question nothing else.

The Republican party has a long and proud tradition, but it is allowing itself to be completely dragged through the mud by the assortment of morons that are taking center stage. Time to purge the party and regain some decency and common sense. This kind of stuff, Palin, Evangelical Christian right wing conservatives are destroying the party.

But don't you see? President Obama is guilty of "presidenting while black." That's what the birthers are really upset about?

Quite clearly anyone who plays THAT much golf is by definition a US citizen whether or not he can produce a birth certificate. Check the constitution, it's in the fine print.

What a WASTE of time and money! And the same birthers criticize Obama for needless spending?? I am ashamed these birthers call themselves American!

What is next? Your lawsuits about the earth being flat and we are not children of evolution?

The Court should file a suit against these idiots for wasting the Courts time. I hope they had to pay some serious Court fees!

It is just unbelievable that people can be so racist and hateful. So much for being "pro-life" when all these conservative birthers do is hate on everybody.
Please, birthers, get over yourselves.
Better yet, why don't you people leave this country, and go start your own racist nation somewheres else. Far away, where the rest of us don't have to deal with you.

Some people just will not let this go. One comment said it would be simple for Obama to just settle this by showing us his birth certificate LOL! Do these people even read the articles they are commenting on? HE HAS SHOWN US HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!!!!!!! Good grief.

It's about time that this childish, birthers, crap be laid to rest, its long overdue in my opinion! Maybe the judge should bring charges against all of these halfwits for wasting the courts time with these farce,and fact free, frivilous, lawsuits!!!!

Obama HAS produced a birth certificate, but these nuts don't care. To the ignoramus above, "socialist" healthcare is not "against the constitution". It was GW Bush who was illegally GIVEN the Presidency, Obama won fair and square. Finally, he has nothing to hide, it only looks that way because all these racist nuts are throwing everything at him that they can drag up. Just part of the GOP tantrum.

Gee the birthers where not following the constitution? Wow arent they the ones that make such a big deal out of it to begin with. They should take all these nut jobs and lock them in the looney bid so they won't hurt themselves or others. What a waste of the court system.

So only the congress can unseat him for not being a US citizen? Thats ok, we will take this up first thing when we take back control of congress in 2010. FIRST THING. There are reasons for not having a resident alien as president. The proof is obamas sympathy for islam and his interest in seeing islamic insurgents defeat our military. That is the reason for his delay in deploying more troops. A photo-op saluting the caskets of returning heros killed by obamas people does not fool us. Tick tick tick

I did not vote for Obama, but this is abuse of our judiciary system.

It is ridiculous that any foreign visitor can fly in as a tourist or walk across the boarder and give birth to a baby, who immediately becomes a US citizen, while President Obama's citizenship is being ridiculed.

Can these birthers be tried for treason?

I would suggest that some of these "birthers" are so uneducated, that they probably don't recognize Hawaii is one of the 50 states. They are an entirely irrational and totally emotional herd, content with following the pin headed pied pipers of political talk radio quacks.

It's people like this that make me question democracy. But alas, even idiots deserve their opinion.

Of couse no judge will rule on this because they are all afraid of losing the job and the good pay. OBAMA SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT.--–if he was born in the USA then why doesn,t he publish or show his real birth certificate. Not the laser printed one or a birth anouncement from the paper laser printers were not around in 1961

A more appropriate response from the judge would have been to throw this idiotic 'birther' in a mental institution.

Where were the birthers when Bush was starting frivolous wars in the middle east and running up our national debt. They are 2 terms 2 late!

It is not this President that has anything to hide. You can betcha that if he had not been eligible Hillary would have been the first one to yell. i believe that the birthers are racists and regardless if they had ten million birth certificates they would not believe one of them.

It absolutely boggles my imagination, at the shameful
shenanigans this woman has pulled, time and time
again!

This lawyer (?) was previously fined $20,000 and yet
she continues on her crazy quest!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is obvious that she does not intend to stop. I hope this
latest waste of the courts time, and taxpayers' money is
going to result in some REAL PENALTIES........if a fine
of $20,000, did not stop her I don't know WHAT WILL!

Enough already birthers, you lost, suck it up, and MOVE
ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The birthers, the tea partiers, the palins, limbaughs, etc. are taking over the Republican Party and turning it into a screaming bunch of wingnuts.

What a shame

If you want this matter to go away, let it go into the courts, let each side present their evidence in a public forum and then it will be settled once and for all to see.

An absolute joke, look at the Americans making fools of themselves. You can't respect each other, let alone other countries.

Someone should file a lawsuit against these 'birthers' for filing their frivolous lawsuit and wasting taxpayer dollars.

what a waste of time ? Stop this hatred.

We need to rid the Republican party of such nonsense in order to regain credibility.

Exactly where is the provision in citizenship law that takes away one's U.S. citizenship because the person "lived overseas as a child?"

The amount and depth of racist-based hatred for our President is beyond any level of rational comprehension.

President Obama was duly elected according to Federal Election Law. For the "Birthers" and the "Haters," Senator McCain tried and failed to win the election. It's been nearly a year since the election.

At what point will the B & H'ers let it go?

Is it so hard to produce a legal birth certificate?????

Well, if Bumbles can do something against the Constitution, like passing socialist healthcare, why can't this judge do anything about his illegal election to the presidency?

All of this is crazy. What about ..... why doesn't he go to work like he promised and leave the television appearances to others? Is he EVER at his desk?? LOL

So Who pays for this waste of time by the bench?

What a mess the Republican Parrty has become.

I don't think I have ever heard of a president trying to hide so much.

If ya travel outside the U.S. for vacation, watch out!!!.....Republicans now call that unAmerican! What a bunch of twits!!.

Interesting, the Judge did not rule on the merits of the claim, only that is was outside his jurisdiction. Of course Obama could put an end to all the sillyness by just granting access to his birth certificate. But that would be too simple, where is the drama in that.

Had president Obama been born before August 20, 1959, then there would be some legitimacy to the 'birthers' claim. Unfortunately for them, he was born August 4, 1961, almost two years after Hawaii became the 50th State of the Union. Case closed, people. Move on already.

I smell the work of a Republican.

My former Republican Party has sadly been hijacked by the lunacy of the birthers, deathers, twelthers, sucessionists, fundamentalists, etc.

It reminds me why I left the GOP yet beyond comprehension how anyone could still associate with this nonsense.

The US District judge made the correct call.

I'm kind of torn on this.

Most of me acknowledges that the suit is without merit, and deserved to be dismissed.

Part of me wishes it went forward, just so the issue could be put to bed once and for all.

And a very tiny part of me looks back at how you libs acted during the previous administration and starts chanting "Mollified, not Qualified" in regards to Obama.

Impeachment is the only way to remove a sitting President.

It is a Democratic majority in Congress, so even if the lunatic "birthers" were correct, it would have to be started in Congress.

It is time for the racists "birthers" to realize a black man was elected by 53% of the American voters, including this so called "white apologist".
according to the same racists wingnuts.

You neo-cons will just have to wait until 2012 and try and get another white person in office, legally.

Oh Man! I spent 6 years of my youth in Spain and Germany at the behest of the State Dept. . Does that mean I'm not a citizen anymore?

this will not stop the idiotic rantings of the birthers...count on it

Don't you think if he was truly NOT a US citizen that Hillary would have been all over that during the primaries?!?!?

Geez...

silly birthers, I don't think the founding fathers needed to prove their patriotism. That being said we are a nation of laws. If the president does not follow the law and the courts do not follow the law who will? This idea of majority rule democracy is out of control. I want my Republic back!

In seven years time, when Obama leaves office perhaps the birthers will attack the next Democratic president. We won't have to worry about the Republicans since the angry white men party probably won't be around and will be replaced by 4 or 5 regional wing nut parties.

Actually, I think we should fall back on the Republicans' definition of unpatriotic and treasonous that was used during the Bush years.....that being if you don't support our president (e.g., calling him a clown, bringing frivolous lawsuits, etc.), then you are unpatriotic and treasonous.

McCain was born in Panama. How 'bout them apples?

If he could he should sue them all for slander and libel.

These IDIOTS will write a book and make millions. SO SAD

The Birther Movement is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.

Funny how this keeps going. They never rule against, they just say look there is nothing we can do about it. Too much power in the executive.

I'm an Army brat who was born in Germany and lived most of my childhood in Paraguay. By the "logic" of the Birthers, I guess I'm not a citizen, either.

It used to be an old age "money talks" NOW it's POLITICAL POWER.
Whatever happened to this country we ALL immigrated to?????

the first bunch of presidents were not born here

Arnold for president

Calling a judge unpatriotic for following the rule of law...will you people stop at nothing?!?! I'm sorry your little crazy witch hunt didn't pan out the way you expected it to.

The majority of the American people elected a president on Nov. 4th of last year. That's how the system works. If you don't like it, you can either leave this great country or you can wait until your next chance to elect the person you'd prefer to be president. Stop wasting the judges' precious time!

CNN continues to give airtime to morons. This leaves less time for vital information and issues. Let's see some of that Chatty style, and everyone chuckle now.

Or, CNN can go back to what it was to begin with and provide relevant NEWS.

If I wanted to see clowns, I'd go to the circus.

Congress isn't going to act in this direction. The Obama presidency was given a free pass and rubber stamp from the beginning of the campaign. What really needs to be addressed is what "natural born" means because the Constitution has been misinterpreted to mean "born on U.S. soil." This is incorrect.

At some point, filing a frivolous suit should carry a penalty. Wasting tax-payer dollars should not be tolerated any more. A stif penalty would do the trick and stop this madness promptly!

WELL, what would one expect from a politically "paid for" opinion!!!!!!!!

Birthers make up laws in their heads and then are outraged when courts don't rule in their favor.

I questions the right of these so called "Birthers" to be American citizens. Maybe they are Taliban.

Is this the death of the "birthers"?

Unfortunately, probably not!

Let the comedy, brought to us by wingnuts, continue!

Just sitting here shaking my head and rolling my eyes.

It's all irrelevant now, as a nation we just need to survive the next three years of this administrtion until we can vote this clown out of office for either another Democrat or an Republican who at least can show some form of true leadership and knows what he's doing.

Amen! This judge along with all the previous others has integrity and just plain common sense.

Obama was born in the US. Drop this already. Only an American could be so ashamed of America as Obama is.

These Birthers are a dispicable bunch! That's one of the problems in America today. People have no patience anymore. Can't they wait until 2012 like the rest of us?!?

Hasn't she committed a crime yet? Why do we entertain these idiots!!!! this is not news CNN!!!
