A BLACK senator with only two years in office has emerged as the star of the Democrats’ campaign for next month’s mid-term elections.

Kenyan-born Barack Obama, 45, is already being touted as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination.

Another scenario sees him as Mrs Clinton’s running mate, raising the possibility of a first female president and first black vice-president in 2008.

Mr Obama is disproving the adage that Washington is “Hollywood for ugly people’’.

He is the Denzil Washington of Capitol Hill, bringing glamour to the staid hallways of the Senate. This week, he was given the ultimate glamour accolade: the front cover of Men’s Vogue.

I don't have the link

This whole topic is like Global Warming deniers:
First a few clumsy astro turf groups come out and rattle the cages. The "evidence" proves bogus.

Next, it gets a bit slicker and more compelling.

Then you get some real Doctors, some nice web sites, and a few well produced videos that might make someone wonder.

... but forgotten is that in the first place, it was a lying hack that brought up the issue, and you aren't paying attention. If someone comes out of the gate, lying to you, then later they come back wearing a suite, and having authentic looking documents -- what kind of an idiot listens to the hack?

"Yes, they had some bad information BEFORE -- but now, but NOW, It's some REALLY dynamite stuff."

I remember my aunt used to follow and give lots of money to Earnest Ainsley. Once he was proven a crook and left in disgrace ... she took a couple weeks before falling in love and sending here meager donations to the next con man. She really wanted to believe in something.

And some of you really want to believe Obama is a foreign agent. Look, we put that law in place so that royalty from England couldn't get a foothold in America -- there are plenty of locals in the USA who will sell out the nation, the planet and human life for a good steak dinner. This topic is a total waste of time and only empowers the hacks who are using the "believers" for their own agenda.

"Kenyan-born Barack Obama, 45, is already being touted as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination."

isnt this an oxymoron?

I love this conspiracy...

"birthers" are right in arugment and just WILL NOT STOP until they see a long form. THis means pro- Obama people get pissed off once a week.

ITs like making fun of a fat kid. ITS SO MUCH FUN!

In short, show the long form and those lovable "birthers" cannot continue

I was born in White Plains, New York and I do not have a "long form."

All documentation on Obama - which is even more extensive than mine, points to his citizenship. YOU cannot prove you were born here, other than a hospital record, a SS card and that people like your parents remember you.

If the Kenyan government can seed a baby with all his future political beliefs, they deserve to rule our country -- they seem to create people more compelling and intelligent than the Bush family who somehow group up in the North East, attend Ivy League schools and end up with Texas drawls -- there's a real conspiracy for you. Why doesn't Obama have a Texas accent? It's a toss up whether Kenya or Texas has a stronger grip on the mind control market.

Not too long ago I was returning from a weekend camping trip. I was on the parkway and there was a lot of traffic heading north after the weekend. On one of the over passes someone hung a huge banner. It simply read, "BIRTH CERTIFICATE?".

I took a picture of it with my cell phone and I did try to get it on the computer to no avail. I still have the picture on there. I see no way to get it on the computer. The link for doing it doesn't work anymore and I have no usb connection to the phone for it. Not that it really matters but it would have been cool to show.

shocking.... not! obama could put all of this to bed if he would just provide a birth certificate like the rest of us have. how hard can that be. but he cant seem to do that so the debate rages on...

Do I need to point out that the Sunday Standard is based out of Gaborone, Botswana?

That's Africa.

Is it really a surprise that you've found this headline? They've been claiming Obama since he got into politics. We saw a large push to claim his origin after he was elected President.

It's akin to if I moved to Germany and had a son. My son grew up and ran for office in Germany. I'm sure plenty of local newspapers back here in America would pick up the story.

Only, that wouldn't really be that big of a deal and I doubt my local newspaper would feel the need to embellish the story by claiming North America as the "Continent of birth" of my son.

However, I do see how it would be a big deal for someone from Africa (a continent made up by a majority of third-world-countries) to have a native's American-born son be elected to Congress in the premiere Super-Power of the world. THAT would be something to lay claim to.

Yes and we all know that everything in the newpaper is always correct.
