People have an aversion to their own stupidity and will run and smash their heads against the brick wall of it until they can no longer hear the people pointing out just how stupid they really are.

Indeed, this is an opinion of the author and has no basis in reality as much as anyone may want it to be true.

The real truth is that the most resistance coming from the right in regards to Obama is pure out and out racial prejudice.

there is still a large segment of the USA that is vehemently racists and filled with hatred towards blacks. It doesn't all end because someone pens a law or two and the majority elects a black man.

Entire generations that participated in race riots, in lynchings and in needless persecution of black people still exist in the the USA and until their time is passed and the new generations are not brought up with such poison hate in their minds it will not change and we will continue to see these petty and silly little rants about this moot flaw or that moot flaw which in turn distracts from REAL issues.

The right wing is in fact killing itself with this nonsense. They are revealing an acutely ugly face that the majority will continue to revile. It will get to a point where, if it hasn't already, people won't even listen to arguments of merit because of these cheap, empty and stupid accusations that fall apart in the light of day.

I have to agree with the others. I need to see the original AP story from a more reliable news source first. Searching on the first paragraph in Google only brings up links to right wing forums and blogs. Searching on the AP archives brings up nothing.

A wordpress blog article as proof of something? I don't even know where to begin with that. I don't mean to insult anyone, but a using a wordpress blog page as proof is sort of like taking the guy waving the "world is coming to an end" sign on the street corner as a legitimatize source.

Yes, this broke yesterday, but apparently was found months ago.


This report explains the context of the oft cited debate, between Obama and Keyes in the following Fall, in which Keyes faulted Obama for not being a “natural born citizen”, and in which Obama, by his quick retort, “So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency”, self-admitted that he was not eligible for the office. Seeing that an AP reporter is too professional to submit a story which was not based on confirmed sources (ostensibly the Obama campaign in this case), the inference seems inescapable: Obama himself was putting out in 2004, that he was born in Kenya.


3. In October of 2004, during the ABC Chicago Affiliate’s broadcast of the Obama-Keyes debates, Obama openly admitted — he conceded — that he was not a natural born citizen. (C-Span aired the uncut version of the debates, which contained this exchange, in the second half of April, 2005)

4. It is known from a classmate of Obama at Harvard University, that while at Harvard, Obama at least on one occasion admitted that he was born in Kenya. (This friend went on record on a call in radio program in Idaho in early July, 2009)

The same site has the added assertion that Google has cleaned out it’s archives of references to Kenyan born Obama, once it was decided he would run. So we have a Hawaiian story saying he is Indonesian. His sister saying he was born at Queen’s, and AP stating he is Kenyan born. Ho hum.

Scoob,

Keep in mind that it can be, and most likely is, some overzealous reporter not doing his homework. The article is originally from Kenya.

You assume that his opponents in the primaries, and the election are so stupid that they just spaced it, if in fact Obama was ineligible?

Not even people here can be that deluded. You think somebody did not see that article and checked it out years ago? Come on give me a break!

Stick to policy debate, this kind of silliness is not helping your cause.

It's like Manson's Helter Skelter logic, make up enough stuiff, and there will be a big war where the only ones left are the prepared Patriots.

It's a fable, like a role playing game.


You don't find it the least bit strange that Obama went from registering Voters to State Senate to President in 3 short Steps.

Like this:
-2003 Guy standing in the front of local Grocery Store asking you if you have registered to vote.
-2004 String of Lucky breaks....Freshman Senator 6yr term (Term ending 2010)
-2009 President

Is this what you mean by Fable? I hope....


On a serious Note....I found this to be rather suspect.....


Peace
Senate (FRESHMAN) 2004
President 2009

Why should any citizen be asked to produce proof of ID for a job, bank account, mortgage, passport, drivers licence etc

If the man with the most powerful job in the world doesnt have too?

At the end of the day he is employed as the president.

Strange.
