This Just Wears You Out ...

SEE HERE The information in this link came floating into my mail box as an email today and so I tried to do due diligence and see if I could verify it's source. I found various links that suggest it goes back as early as January 2010, but I couldn't find in the short time I looked clear evidence where it all came from or who put it together. The link I'm providing is the same stuff I got in an email but more nicely formatted. It takes up the whole issue of whether Obama is a U.S. Citizen/Natural Born American qualified to be president. Predictably the answer is "No." There are a few other interesting tidbits thrown in including the suggestion that he is a communist agent who received training in Russia. When you get inundated with this stuff it gets hard to tell what is fabrication and what is truth, so I'll leave it to you to decide. I continue to find it bewildering that the issue isn't taken up and authoritatively resolved. I'm not a conspiracy theorist by temperament, but the never ending drum beat of this stuff certainly creates a cumulative effect.

  1. Re: Why not "the issue isn't taken up and authoritatively resolved."

    It has been resolved. The US Congress voted UNANIMOUSLY to confirm Obama's election. Not one single member had a doubt. Also, the Electoral College voted by exactly the same number of votes Obama won in the general election to elect him. Not one single member changed a vote despite a campaign by birthers and two-fers to have them change their votes.

    The Wall Street Journal said: "In truth, Obama has proved that he is a native of Hawaii, and this proof would hold up in any legal or administrative proceeding."

    And it concluded: "Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. No one has produced any serious evidence to the contrary. Absent such evidence, it is unreasonable to deny that Obama has met the burden of proof. We know that he was born in Honolulu as surely as we know that Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., or George W. Bush in New Haven, Conn."

    The WSJ journal has also crushed the allegation that to be a Natural Born Citizen requires two citizen parents. It said:

    "Some birthers imagine that there is a difference between being a “citizen by birth” or a “native citizen” on the one hand and a “natural born” citizen on the other. “Eccentric” is too kind a word for this notion, which is either daft or dishonest. All three terms are identical in meaning."
