Why Democrat House need to introduce a resolution to declare Hawaii the birthplace of Barack Obama?
H. Res. 593, a resolution “recognizing and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the entry of Hawaii into the Union as the 50th State,” contains this provision: “Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii”

Lies building on lies.
I guess for the same reason they did it for McCain, to shut up wackos who would want to keep bringing up this stupid shite.
Because its still being brought into question. So they tried to resolve it by passing a resolution.
It’s Congress attempting to legitimize something that shouldn’t be. There still hasn’t a single shred of evidence that Obama is a citizen. All we have is hearsay and misdirection. Just show the birth certificate already.
All the Democrats have to do is take a copy to Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity and let them proclaim it valid and the issue will go away. Why keep fighting it?
Conservative don’t want proof of the Presidents birth. They just want to rant.
I suppose they put it in stone-
so that you retard-Republicans can leave the matter alone.
Hey…I like the way that rhymed!
Because they do not want us to know that he was born in Kenya, just as Grandma told the world.
Resolutions are non-binding and – for example – if it was for Ohio it would have a list of all the presidents from the Buckeye State.
The Republican party should stop wasting time on the birthing issue it only reassures moderates that democratic party is rational.
The Democrats love it when the Republican party concentrate on the birth issue of Obama it will drive moderates to the Democrats. The GOP would be better off talking about the size of government, and stop wasting time on acorn and Obama birthplace.
They’re trying to get around Congressmen who are trying to pass a resolution making it clear that a birth certificate needs to be verified, not a document indicating there is another document. This would be enacted in *future* elections, however the Obama camp is stamping their feet.
Got nothing to hide? Just show it & shut up then. Otherwise, why trample a reasonable proposed resolution?
Because the “birthers” refuse to accept the truth about Obama being born in Hawaii.
“HONOLULU – State officials in Hawaii on Monday said they have once again checked and confirmed that President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen, and therefore meets a key constitutional requirement for being president.
They hoped to stem a recent surge in the number of inquiries about Obama’s birthplace.
“I … have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen,” Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said in a brief statement. “I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”

From your source:
The totals were 378 Ayes, 0 Nays, 55 Present/Not Voting.
That shows bipartisan support. The birther’s need to form their own party since the GOP no longer represents them.
Better yet, why did Republicans block it?
Because they insane.
“Rep. Neil Abercrombie, (D-Hawaii), has introduced a resolution “Recognizing and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the entry of Hawaii into the Union as the 50th State.” It’s one of the typical non-controversial obligatory matters that so often show up on the congressional agenda.
Only in this case, the implications of the resolution are much further reaching. That’s because, as part of the 456-word resolution, Abercrombie is including the following line: “Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii…”Rep.

Its part of the resolution to celebrate Hawaii’s 50th Anniversary as a state. It mentions Obama because states are proud of its famous citizens. Ask Virginia and Ohio.
They really shouldn’t have to……….. but for whatever reason WACK JOBS like these ‘Birthers’ force intelligent, rational people to prove them wrong over and over again.
The problem is THEY ARE WACK JOBS!!!!! (so they don’t care about being wrong…. because…. they are wack jobs!!!)
A more interesting question is why didn’t any Republican have the guts to vote against it? It passed unanimously. A few Reps pander to the wacko “birthers” in the right fringe of their party, but nobody would do so on the record.
There is no evidence that Obama was not born in hawaii, as his birth certificate and two contemporaneous newspaper reports say. The allegations to the contrary would not be admissible in a court of law, they are so flimsy and baseless. Anyone who still believes to the contrary is in a state of extreme denial, unable to accept the fact that we have elected a black president and willing to twist and turn in any direction to deny the obvious.
These people represent the worst of our society, the lowest dregs. Most of them are certifiably insane, which when established will disqualify them from owning firearms. My advice would be to seek psychiatric help before it becomes a matter of public record.
