<div align="justify"> WASHINGTON — Barack Obama is in hot pursuit of general election voters, hoping America won't notice he got his head handed to him in West Virginia.</div>
<div align="justify">
The Illinois senator virtually pretended the primary didn't happen Tuesday, with no election night speech or any public appearance at all after the polls closed and gave Hillary Rodham Clinton a more than 2-1 victory even though her candidacy is likely doomed.</div>
<div align="justify">
At Obama's Chicago headquarters, advisers said there was no reason to worry — West Virginia was demographically suited to Clinton and won't be part of their general election plans. It's also true that Clinton's win is unlikely to slow his march toward the nomination — Obama picked up 30 superdelegates this week, more than the 28 total pledged delegates up for grabs in West Virginia.</div>
<div align="justify">
But maybe the Obama camp should be more worried. The voters who went against Obama Tuesday night — white, rural, older, low-income and without college degrees — don't just live in West Virginia. They live everywhere in the country, in places Obama needs to win. </div>

Hell, yes, they should worry - exit polls from WV just bring home the point that Barack Hussein Obama is unelectable in a general election - there is no way he could beat Juan in November. Anytime he opens his mouth to "explain", it's a huge risk.

If these two were running under GOP primary rules, Hillary would have been the nominee some time ago - they are doing the mistake of putting up George McGovern again, but now it's worse, because Barack Hussein Obama still is "unvetted" - he STILL refuses to release his birth certificate, and you have to wonder why, even Juan will.

d'urville:
Barack Hussein Obama ... STILL refuses to release his birth certificate, ...

:moo: Can you share all the juicy details of this?

[d'urville]

No details, since Barack Hussein Obama just flat-out refuses to release it. All I know is that there's no "real" proof that his name has ever been Barrack Hussein Mohammed Obama - from a pro-Obama website:



We also found Obama’s registration and disciplinary record with the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois. ( You can see it here. (http://www.politifact.com/media/files/obamaattyreg.pdf)) Barack Hussein Obama was admitted as a lawyer by the Illinois Supreme Court on Dec. 17, 1991. (By the way, Obama has no public record of discipline.)
We tried to obtain a copy of Obama’s birth certificate, but his campaign would not release it and the state of Hawaii does not make such records public.

So all that leaves speculation on why this is so:


Also from Monkey in the Middle (http://findalismonkeyinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2008/05/liar-liar-pants-on-fire.html), Now for the biggest lie of all: Where was Obama born?
His biography and web page says he was born on 4 August 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. But there is a problem here. NOBODY CAN FIND HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!! I have looked for it. Others have looked for it. Hawaii has temporarily closed their site on Birth records, the State Department will not do a search of their database, and the Kenyans have removed the pages from their records for that day.

And they still can't - they even question this at du, what I've heard most often is that BO CAN'T release it, because either:

1. He wasn't even born in Hawaii. and/or
2. His birth name was never Barack Hussein Obama to begin with.
3. His birth name was instead Hussein Barack Obama.
4. He is a citizen of Kenya, dual or exclusively.

Hey, Obama: Don't worry. Be happy.

What Fox said...

For some reason I thought Obama was born in Alabama.

Or was it Texarkana?

I also seem to recall something about a banjo on his knee.

[PaulRevere]

I read a conservative opinion piece recently that likened Obama to Adlai Stevenson - the (pseudo-) intellectual elitist snob that got clobbered by Ike.

[Lubbock]

My guess is, there isn't a birth certificate.

A buzzard shit in a stump and the sun hatched him.

To all public information, he wasn't born in Hawaii. He was born in Kansas where he mother was a student. He went to Hawaii to live with his grandparents while his mother was working in Indonesia with her second husband.

He is a dual Kenyan citizen.

So, he's NOT a "real" U.S. citizen so to speak. I think we found a loophole in the Constitution.
