President Obama

Editor's note: This is the second of a series of monthly "Freedom Index" polls conducted exclusively for WND by the public opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

WASHINGTON It may be the issue few in the media dare address, but a new scientific public opinion survey of a cross-section of Americans shows they are not only aware of questions about Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for office, but almost half are either "troubled" by the questions or believe he should release all relevant documents including his long-form birth certificate.

Asked if they are aware of the questions raised about Obama's constitutional eligibility for office, 51.3 percent answered affirmatively, while only 18.7 percent said no. Another 30 percent said they were unsure.

"Our polling shows that the questions surrounding Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president clearly strike a nerve across America, probably because it is a problem that everybody understands," said pollster Fritz Wenzel. "Every American citizen has a birth certificate, and once in a while we all have to produce them to get a drivers license or gain entrance to school. Everyone understands the simple rules if you don't produce it, you don't get in. And while Obama did get in to the White House, nearly half the country's adults 49 percent are troubled by this issue and still want him to produce his official long-form birth certificate."

 

Among Republicans, 58.2 percent said they were aware, while 49 percent of Democrats acknowledged knowing about the questions. The higher the income of those questioned, the more likely they were to answer yes.

"There's not much variance across demographic groups on the question, with the exception of race, where whites were far more likely than blacks to be troubled by Obama's refusal to produce the original birth certificate," said Wenzel. "It is interesting to note that Obama's own age cohort those in their 40s and 50s were more likely than any other age groups to want the new president to prove he is eligible for the job."

When asked what their view of the questions was, 41.5 percent of respondents answered that Obama should release all relevant documents, including the long-form birth certificate. Another 7.8 percent said they were "troubled" by the questions.

Others (12.3 percent) said they were "not concerned," while 9.2 percent said the questions were not valid and 14.3 percent said Obama had met the requirements as a "natural born citizen." Another 8.5 percent said Obama had answered the questions to their satisfaction, while 6.3 percent said the requirements of the Constitution were simply outdated.

The WND/Wenzel survey was conducted June 610 using an automated telephone technology calling a random sampling of listed telephone numbers nationwide. The survey included 22 questions and carries a 95 percent confidence interval. It included 790 adult respondents. It carries a margin of error of +/ 3.5 percentage points.

Data from this survey also showed that a substantial majority 56 percent also wants Obama to release his educational records, which would yield more clues to his early life and citizenship. Among men, 62 percent said those school records should be released.

"These are questions that are not on the front pages right now, but they are far from going away and people clearly want answers," said Wenzel. "As long as they go unanswered, they act like a low-grade fever that hampers everything Obama is attempting to do in office. And they could flare up at any time."

The questions were asked along with a series about personal freedoms.

"There's another interesting twist here in that this survey showed that nearly half of American adults nationwide think personal freedoms have decreased under Obama," said Wenzel. "At a time when there is substantial unease over Obama's dramatic intervention in the U.S. auto industry and his promise of swift action to overhaul the national health care system, many want this man who is exercising such power to remake our country to prove once and for all that he is qualified to wield such power."

Fritz Wenzel is president of Wenzel Strategies a public opinion research and media consulting company. Formerly associated with Zogby International, he spent 25 years as a news and political reporter for major metro dailies.

Obama has a driver's license and got into one of the most prestigious schools in the country. You're right. Simple rules. Guess that means he must have produced his birth certificate, huh?

not really
i know several other ILLEGAL s that have drivers licenses .

one has to wonder why NObama would pay so much in legal fees so that he could hide his
Birth certificate
college transcripts
college thesis
baptism records

we found out why the puddinghead john kerry tried to hide is college transcript , because he almost failed many of his classes ,

but why would NObama , who ran on a campaign promoting  transparency become so UNtransparent  ? when it comes to documenting his own eligibility to hold the office  ?

The Governor of Hawaii, the Director of the Department of Health and several other document authenticators are now being joined by every member of Congress, TV pundits, even far-right-wing nuts Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter have conceded that President Obama is a natural-born citizen.

In the beginning, there was doubt, albeit misplaced about Barack Obama's birth certificate. By all logical avenues, this theory was, well, a bit nutty. But not given much more veracity than his status as a Muslim or his refusal to say the Pledge.

So in the face of such nuttiness, Obama released his birth certificate in good faith.

They cried "Fake!"

It was verified authentic by every government official and impartial expert imaginable.

They cried "Conspiracy!

It was shown that proof of Obama's citizenship existed far longer than any conspiracy could have forseen.

They cried "More proof!"

If Obama were to release any other documents or evidence, such as the "long form" (which proves the exact same thing as his regular BC), the paranoid conspiracy theorists would still not be satisfied. If God Himself appeared before all the land, and handed down a pair of tablets saying Obama was an American citizen, with Jesus and the Holy Spirit as co-signers, it would still not be good enough. They will simply denounce everything shown to them rather than face the reality that they lost an election.

If you deconstruct this argument, they're trying to say that Oabma is not a citizen. This de-legitimizes his Presidency, which de-legitimizes the election, which can only lead to a re-election, or turning the White House over to the runners up of that election. It boils down to petulant, right wing kooks yelling "No fair! Do-over!"

Sorry Mikey, no do-overs. It was a fair election. You lost. Eat what we eat.

remain focused , the college transcripts and school records will show his immigration status .
yet
the transparent one refuses to release them and has paid large sums in legal fees so that he may stonewall attempts to force the issue ....
why is that ? 

i HOPE that CHANGES soon

i have 9 trillion reasons why . 
.............................................
although the libs have chosen to eat socialist ****e ...
i do not want to eat socialist ****e ,
nor do i want it to be fed to my children or grandchildren .

the constitution says that i do not have to if i choose not to
all i ask is that the constitution be followed
i feel it is not too much to ask .

Mike, are you just as incensed over George Washington's or Thomas Jefferson's records? I have a feeling they weren't constitutionally eligible to be President either.
