Barney Frank wants to see Rep. Djou's birth certificate
May 25, 2010 by Bob Cusack washingtonscene.thehill.com Tongue firmly in cheek, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Tuesday afternoon called on reporters to demand to see the birth certificate of new Rep. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii).
As Djou was being sworn into office, Frank walked the hallway of the Speaker's Lobby off the House floor calling on the media to "do your job" and review Djou's papers.
It was a small bit of payback for the enormous amount of attention some conservatives (and the media) paid to the is-the-president-really-from-America controversy.
But, unlike the commander-in-chief, as Frank knows, being born outside the U.S. does not preclude you from becoming a member of Congress.

I think Djou should show his birth certificate as soon as Obama turns over his records and stops spending millions defending their release.

Actually Zero has spent conservative estimate $6 MILLION dollars easily on top law firms… The 1.7 million constantly mentioned is the payouts to Perkins Coie..however Zero has also been represented by Williams and Conley, Kirkland and Ellis, Mayer, Brown and Platt. Lead counsel managing all local counsel vetting all documents in every jurisdiction. Imagine that. And the cases on Barry's eligibility continue :http://www.therightsideofl ife.com/current-lawsuit-listing/eligibility-case-archive/Zero isn't using his own money. He's using his campaign funds, Obama for America..which came from his Muslim masters abroad..Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal namely (who paid for Obambi's Harvard education) This Middle East Connection also financed Obama's Presidential run. $778 million ($150 million in September 2008) in campaign dollars Obama received in 2008, much of it coming from 37,000 foreign sources, mostly through untraceable, one-time use cash gift cards: Obama's Secret Campaign Cash: Has $63 Million Flowed from Foreign Sources?http://newsmax.com/InsideCover/obama-illegal-donations/2009/12/12/id/341673The FEC surely would have revealed a scandal by now, if only Obama hadn't been the first major presidential candidate in American history NOT to accept funds from the Presidential Election Campaign Funds … and therefore NOT subject to any FEC investigation.DNC paid the retainer until about November 2008, when he became the (de-facto) President-elect. Since then, YOU I have been picking up the tab from the US Attorneys Office and any other outsourcing, defending the "Office of the President of the United States."
