But then, thats the same media establishment that wildly and irresponsibly advocated for the election of Barack Obama as president. The issue at hand centers around one simple and profound question: Has Barack Obama proven he is constitutionally eligible to serve as president of the United States? This book by my good friend and WND senior staff reporter, Jerome Corsi, provides the unequivocal and definitive answerno. As the publisher of this book as well as the chief executive officer of WND, the news organization that has investigated this subject more exhaustively than all other media outlets combined, I can assure the reader that the question of constitutional eligibility has never been about a docu mentable foreign birth by Obama. Instead, it is about the conspicuous lack of documentation of a domestic birth. It seems preposterous on its face that a politician could win the presi dency of the United States without clearly establishing his bona fides as a natural born citizen. But that is, in fact, exactly what Obama did.

This book proves it. Common sense suggests that since Obama still hasnt provided any i W h e r e s t h e B i r t h C e r t i f i c a t e ? of the documentation necessary to proving his eligibility and has spent millions in legal fees avoiding doing so that he probably doesnt meet the simple requirements. Why else would he go to such lengths and be so combative about it, if he could quell the controversy by simply producing a long-form birth certificate as Americans are routinely required to do? And make no mistake about it, in spite of the media establishments lockstep denials, the controversy is raging. A CNN poll in 2010 showed 58 percent of Americans to be doubtful about Obamas official nativity story. Here are some simple facts to keep in mind as you plow into this thorough investigation of what we know and what we dont know about Obamas origins and eligibility to serve in the highest office in the most powerful country in the world: No federal or state government agency or institution vetted Obamas requirements for office before he became a candidate for the presidency, during his campaign or subsequently. citizens. citizens.

Obama could not meet the same test, if indeed his parents were, as he contends, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. of Kenya and Stanley Ann Dunham. To this day, no hospital in the United States claims to be the birthplace of Americas first black president. One hospital that did make the claim for the purposes of fundraising, quickly backtracked on the assertion when confronted by questions from WND. Hawaii public officials have offered contradictory claims about their knowledge of Obamas birth all the while maintaining a veil of secrecy around the one document that would provide the basis for answering the question of eligibility. So, why all the mystery? Why all the secrecy? Why all the intrigue? ii F o r e w o r d Wheres the birth certificate? Its this simple, unanswered question that has dogged Obama throughout his term of office.

It has become the source of innumerable jokes on late-night television. And it may well cost him any chance for re-election in 2012. For the first time, someone has put all the pieces of this fantastic story together in one place. Who better than Jerome Corsi, the two-time No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, political scientist, Harvard Ph.D. and investigative journalist the man who went to Kenya in search of the truth and got detained by military authorities there for his trouble? He has also visited Hawaii where he has hired private detectives to help him in his quest for the elusive birth certificate.

He has traveled to Chicago to meet with those who knew Obama during his community organizing years and as a bud ding politician. All told, Wheres the Birth Certificate? is the result of more than three years of research much of it very unpleasant for the author. Now Corsi goes beyond asking questions. Wheres the Birth Certificate? ups the ante for those Americans tired of the stonewalling by Obama and his administration. This book makes a compelling case that Obama is, indeed, constitu tionally ineligible for the office of the presidency. Thats not a minor technicality.

Thats a finding that has real-world implications and ramifications for every American. Already, distinguished military servicemen and officers have refused deployments because of their serious concerns about whether or not the commander-in-chief is legitimate and is issuing lawful orders. Some have faced courts-martial and prison sentences. This is not a fringe issue unless you consider 58 percent of Americans to be on the fringe. Its about constitutional propriety. Its about the minimal established standards for holding the most powerful office in the world.

Its about national security. Its about the rule of law. And its about the integrity of future presidential elections. Joseph Farah, CEO & Editor-in-Chief of WND iii This page intentionally left blank Is the 44th president of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, illegally occupying the Oval Office? The question is jarring, almost surreal, and of course intensely contro versial. Yet with repeated national polls revealing that more than half of all Americans suspect the answer is yes, its a question that demands a serious and informed response. This book will demonstrate conclusively that no legal authority has ever verified Barack Obamas legal eligibility to be president, that glaring inconsistencies and blackouts in his life narrative have caused widespread doubts among the American populace, and that, in fact, a compelling body of evidence exists that Obama is not a natural-born citizen as is required of all presidents by Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution.

This book further establishes the case that Barack Obama, aided by his media collaborators, has conducted one of the most audacious cover-ups ever perpetrated at the highest level of American politics. By the time you finish reading, you will understand the need to block Obamas bid for re-election in 2012 unless he releases all documents relevant to his birth, his educational past, his employment history, and his political career. Until now, Obama and his supporters have done everything possible to suppress and ridicule any serious attempt to investigate his constitutional v W h e r e s t h e B i r t h C e r t i f i c a t e ? qualifications to hold the nations highest elective office. Whereas Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were heralded by the cultural establishment in the 1970s, largely because they probed lies and cover-ups on the part of Republican President Richard Nixon, investigative reporters today are excoriated if they dare press Obama for the public release of dozens of documents kept under seal relating to his identity and life history. Why are his medical records being kept hidden? Why are his edu cational records, including his student loan applications, so protected by privacy restrictions that it is a crime to possess them unless they are obtained under the tight restrictions of authorized access imposed by the Department of Education? What about his travel records? His law school writings? His parents marriage records? The list goes on. All too often, documents relating to Obamas past turn out to be conveniently lost or reported destroyed when they are not sealed away and officially protected from public view.
