Updated list of birth certificate posts
Robert Gibbs says in May 27th briefing that barry’s “birth certificate” is on the internet
Congratulations, again, Mr Kingsolving.
Though I must ask: Why the long delay in asking?
Lester Kingsolving of WND asked Gibbs about the recent development with Kapi’olani Medical Center letter how–after 6 months–it suddenly disappeared.
That didn’t get posted yet because I noticed a couple of problems on my own when I checked links for the last post Another anti-birther attack. They’ve gone missing or got changed. Must mean somebody’s getting close or the “real” birth certificate will be making an appearance. I don’t see Taitz’s case getting anywhere because of lack of standing. Nobody but Congress has standing.Quo Warranto must be getting them concerned.
Anyway – Gibbs made Kingsolving wait twice and then gave him the second to last question asking. Gibbs brushed it aside and let his fratboys get their chuckles, which are starting to sound a little desperate, and then ends with his typical Gibbs sarcasm. But in the middle he once again gives the Smithsonian, Supreme Court and the Library of Congress a great quote.
Kingsolving says what’s on the internet – what Gibbs referred to as barry’s birth certificate – is not a birth certificate.
Gibbs: I KNOW.
End of story. He admits on the official record – in the transcript and on video and eyewitness testimony – that he knows that useless COLB is not a birth certificate. He admits he and barry’s campaign have been lying. He proves that Kos, Fight the Smears (has disappeared), Factcheck and Politifcat were all lying when they used the term Birth CERTIFICATE. His words make null all their conclusions. His words prove what “birthers” have been saying all along – the COLB is not a birth CERTIFICATE.
What GIBBS said in his May 27th press briefing.
MR. GIBBS: Are you looking for the President’s birth certificate?
KINGSOLVING: Yes.
MR. GIBBS: It’s on the Internet, Lester.
Call it semantics – call it whatever you like – it’s right from his mouth. He knows and admits – volunteers – that it is not a birth certificate.
============================
TRANSCRIPT: WH Press Briefing 7-13-09
LESTER KINGSOLVING: Robert.
MR. GIBBS: Let me go to — I’ll come back, Lester. Don’t worry, I’m feeling good today
He tries 20 or so questions later.
KINGSOLVING: Robert.
MR. GIBBS: Hold on, Lester. Don’t worry, Lester, I’ll get to you. Don’t worry; you’re not going anywhere and neither am I.
KINGSOLVING: Thank you.
10 more questions and it’s Lester’s turn. Begins at (3:40).
POLITICO 44
GIBBS: Lester.
KINGSOLVING: Thank you very much. Just two questions.
MR. GIBBS: It was probably only one when I passed over you the first time. (Laughter.)
KINGSOLVING: Six or seven.
MR. GIBBS: All right, all right, easy on the first two rows. Les, you can’t sit in the second row and complain about all the questions in the second row. You got to go like way back and — I’m kidding, go ahead.
KINGSOLVING:
I appreciate it. While you and the President were overseas on July the 7th, there was on the Internet a copy of a letter on White House letterhead dated January the 24th, 2009, with the signature “Barack Obama,” which stated “The place of my birth was Honolulu’s Kapi’olani Medical Center.” And my question is, can you verify this letter? Or if not, would you tell us which Hawaiian hospital he was born in, since Kapi’olani, which used to publicize this, now refuses to confirm?
MR. GIBBS: Goodness gracious. I’m going to be, like, in year four describing where it is the President was born. I don’t have the letter at my fingertips, obviously, and I don’t know the name of the exact hospital.
Why would a press secretary not know this after all this time – especially with Lester’s last question? Just the fact he pretends he doesn’t know is a lie.
KINGSOLVING: Can you check on this?
MR. GIBBS: I will seek to interview whoever brought the President into this world. But can we just — I want to do this once and for all, Lester. Let’s just do this once and for all. You can go on this — I hope you’ll take the time not just to Google “President, January 24, Hawaii hospital, birth” and come up with this letter, but go on the Internet and get the birth certificate, Lester, and put –
KINGSOLVER: It’s not a birth certificate.
MR. GIBBS: I know.
(Laughter.)
GIBBS: Just a document from the state of Hawaii denoting the fact that the President was indeed born in the state of Hawaii.
Semantics – whatever you want – there it is: “I KNOW.” Gibbs admitting he has been lying when he called it a birth certificate when it is not. Strange how the tide seems to be turning.
KINGSOLVING:
But it doesn’t say where he was born or who the doctor was.
MR. GIBBS: You know, Lester, I — I want to stay on this for a second, Lester, I want to stay on this for a second, because you’re a smart man, right?
Fratboys press corps laughing hoping it is just a crazy thought:
Press Corps: Hypothetical.
And this is just wrong. Gibbs talking about “noble truth”.
MR. GIBBS: All right, all right, settle down in here. Only I get to make jokes like that.
No, Lester, let’s finish this one. Do all of your listeners and the listeners throughout this country the service to which any journalist owes those listeners, and that is the pursuit of the noble truth. And the noble truth is that the President was born in Hawaii, a state of the United States of America. And all of this incredible back-and-forth — I get e-mails today from people who inexplicably can figure out very easily the White House e-mail address, and want proof of where the President was born.
Here he leaves out the word “birth” in front of certificate.
Lester, the next time you ask me a question I’m going to ask you what reporting you’ve done to demonstrate to your listeners the truth, the certificate, the state, so that they can look to you for that momentous search for the truth, and you can wipe away all the dark clouds and provide them with the knowing clarity that comes with that certainty.
Arrogance is passed down from the supreme leader. The best part of these exchanges is they are forevermore. They sanitize the WH website that’s a whole different crime. But it’s screenshots of everything now. Links aren’t enough, caches are enough and the wayback machine isn’t enough.
================
Now the famous Gibbs when pressed: I don’t know…then sarcasm.
KINGSOLVING:
Another question. (Laughter.) The Washington Times and gawker.com report that of the 60 or more reporters who regularly cover these briefings, only 30 were invited to the White House to watch the July 4th fireworks, and they were ordered not to report this. And my question, why does the President believe it is fair to exclude so many, including even Helen Thomas, who was [NOT] invited — (laughter) — by so many previous Presidents to this event?
MR. GIBBS: Please note for the official record that Helen almost fell out of her chair laughing. I just wanted to note — that’s all –
I find it extremely disrespectful that he refers to old-timer Helen Thomas by her first name – and usually derisively. He is supposed to be at the very least a Southerner.
KINGSOLVING:
This information was confirmed to me, she was not invited, Bob. Why?
MR. GIBBS: You know, I — ohhh. Les, we were — I haven’t the slightest idea what the invitation system is for the July 4th fireworks. I’ll do this. I’ll figure that out. You figure out the Hawaii birth certificate. We’ll meet here sometime next week and we can discuss it all over again. How about that, Lester?
Sarcasm shows he’s uncomfortable with the question and his own “answer”. He uses the sarcasm to get his fratboys to laugh so the one being laughed at is intimidated. It shows what a very weak little man Gibbs is and it reflects how barry must treat him…like a mindless peon.
And why only half the press corps? And why the “don’t report on it”?
What more do they tell the press corps not to report on?
Lester?
