ABOUT THOSE MILITARY ABSENTEE BALLOTS

You know, each election cycle the absentee ballots of our uniformed men and women never seem to make it back here in time to make a difference. It happens every cycle. Citizens complain, congress throws out a few nominal sound bites. Nothing changes. Zip.

Andrea Shea King--The Radio Patriot--is ahead of the curve on this problem. I suggest you follow her lead. You know what to do.

A CHALLENGE TO BILL O'REILLY, ED MORRISSEY, AND SENATOR JIM DeMINT

O'Reilly, Morrissey, and DeMint, three people I hold in the highest of esteem. All three are satisfied that Obama's birth records are in order, that Obama is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Since I'm not a trained journalist, I could be missing something here. So I'm wondering if at least one of you could complete the puzzle I have before me:

Below are the birth locations of all the presidents during Obama's life. However, I am unable to verify the most basic of information regarding Obama's birth. For example, his birth location (hospital) and the attending physician's name. Since all of you have investigated this issue and are satisfied with your findings, I'd appreciate it if you could help me complete this post. Thank you.

JFK-35: Born in 1917 at 83 Beals Street, Brookline, Mass. JFK was the first president to be born in the 20th century. After JFK was assassinated, the family repurchased the birth site and turned it into a memorial. Today it's designated as a National Historical Site.

LBJ-36: Born 1908 in rural Stonewall, Texas. While still president, LBJ had his birthplace home reconstructed, relying on old photographs and family memories, in the exact location of the original birthplace home. LBJ is the only president to have done this while in office.

Nixon-37: Born 1913 in rural Yorba Linda, Ca. Nixon's father built the home about one year prior to the former president's birth. Today it's the site of The Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace. In 1994, Nixon was buried at this site.

FORD-38: Born in 1913 at 3202 Woolworth Avenue, Omaha, Nebraska. Many years after his birth, Ford's birthplace home was destroyed in a fire. Today the site is occupied by a memorial garden and presidential birth site marker.

CARTER-39: Born in 1924 at The Wise Sanitarium, 225 Hospital St., Plains, Georgia. Carter is the first president to be born in a hospital. The hospital has since been renamed in honor of his mother: The Lillian G. Carter Nursing Center.

REAGAN-40: Born in 1911 at 111 S. Main Street, Tampico, Illinois. Reagan was born in a small apartment above the Pitney General Store. The general store is now occupied by the First National Bank. Great man, great location. On one of his many blogging travels to historic sites in-and-around Illinois, Marathon Pundit gave us this great report from Tampico, Illinois.

BUSH-41: Born in 1924 at 173 Adams Street, Milton, Mass. Coincidentally, Adams Street is named for John Adams and John Quincy Adams--father and son presidents. Below is the marker that sits at the corner of the Bush property.



CLINTON-42: Born in 1946 at the Julia-Chester Hospital, 1001 (south) Main Street, Hope, Arkansas. The hospital has since been destroyed and I couldn't find a picture of it. In fact, I couldn't find much information at all. Most of Clinton's presidential pages begin with his boyhood home after arriving from the hospital. After an exhaustive search, I found the old hospital's address and did a property site search. The search gave me the above photo. But before posting it, I called the business located at 1001 Main Street to confirm that this is the actual location where the Julia-Chester Hospital once stood. They confirmed that it was, and then I knew why it was so difficult to find the information through Clinton's presidential sites. Bill Clinton is the only president to have a presidential birth site marked with a death site: it's a funeral home. Talk amongst yourselves.

BUSH-43: Born in 1946 at (Grace)Yale-New Haven Hospital, 20 York St., New Haven, Conn. The Bush family lived in New Haven because H.W. was attending Yale University after returning from duty in WWII.

OBAMA-44: Born August 4, 1961, Honolulu, Hawaii.

Please complete this puzzle with *HOSPITAL LOCATION* and/or *ATTENDING PHYSICIAN* information.

Use the comment section or email me with the information. Again, thank you.

BIRTHERS NOW BEING COVERED BY MOST NEWS OUTLETS--updated w/video

It's official: The MSM's coverage of the birther issue is now wall-to-wall. Today, even Bill O'Reilly reported that The Factor had investigated the issue and found it to be "bogus." However, O'Reilly, like all the other MSM reports, up to and including the White House, refuse to disclose any specifics. They all say it's bogus, therefore it must be.

A google alert sent me to a site that holds the record for the most comprehensive birther coverage to date. It's massive. Not far into the report, Andrea Shea-King became the focus:

"The first hint of the WJC's resurrection came last August with a WorldNetDaily commentary by Andrea Shea King..."---Read the entire report.

BIRTHER QUESTIONS TROUBLESOME TO GOP

This morning at Politico, the birther issue is front and center. It seems that asking your congressional reps all these questions regarding Obama's birth certificate has put them in a difficult position. So now they're preparing for any questions you might have while they're (trapped) back home during the congressional break.

"Preparing" doesn't mean they'll be answering your questions; it means they'll be steering the conversation to what they consider to be more important issues. In other words, they don't think you're too smart and they'd like for you to go away.
