Well over 90% of the American public doesn't think this is a concern, neither does the global community; so in other words, the president isn't going to view a flock of fleas as worthy of his attention. Lou Dobbs is the one who took a bet on this, and he struck out horrifically: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/31/media-matters-to-run-adds_n_249078.html" rel="nofollow">Lou Dobbs Tonight is down 15% in the ratings</a>. <br /><br />If one wishes to criticize or sack the president, they need to do so in an intelligent, democratic fashion based on pertinent issues - health care, spending, foreign policy, etc. Not something based on racial overtones.Bloggin' Brewskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117891792945288480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522376676055666486.post-26389705828935959062009-08-05T11:47:18.857-07:002009-08-05T11:47:18.857-07:00Bloggin' Brewskie:

Remember the Hawaiian birth certificate presented last year? (“IT'S A FORGERY!!”) And since the birthers have a crazy proclamation, the burden of proof lies with them - people who so far have not been presented any facts rationally. Speaking of facts…<br /><br />You know that <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=105764" rel="nofollow">Kenyan birth certificate</a>, aka, the "smoking gun?" Well, there's a few problems with it. For instance...<br /><br />Kenya was not a republic on the date of the certificate; it was a Dominion and would not become a republic for another eight months.<br /><br />Mombasa, where Obama was allegedly born, belonged to Zanzibar at the time.<br /><br />Nyanza was a district in the 1960s, not a province. It would not be named province until 1970.<br /><br />And that's not even naming all of the flaws on it - particularly for a 48-year-old birth certificate that appears in conspicuously good shape. <br /><br />Now mind you, I'm not even that crazy about Obama. I didn't vote for him in the Democratic primary, and the only reason I voted for him in the presidential election was because I didn't want Sarah Palin, who makes dubya look scholarly, be one heart beat away from the oval office. <br /><br />There's plenty of flaws about Ombama's presidency I'm more than happy to discuss, including: his spendthrift polices, his paternal relationship with Wall Street firms, his continuation of torture policies, or his secrecy with FOIA cases. However, a conspiracy theory that carries no merit to most of America, is laughed at by the rest of the world, has so far been stigmatized to the racist red neck crowd, is, by all accounts, not one of them.Bloggin' Brewskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117891792945288480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522376676055666486.post-34801955519423701272009-08-04T21:44:43.020-07:002009-08-04T21:44:43.020-07:00You are simply ignoring the obvious:

Proud?<br /><br />Sorry, but the water is under the bridge: Congress overwhelmingly decided to put it to rest, and should the birthers. These goons are like the 9/11 truthers, the peak oil doomers, and the ardent rats who supported (and still do) the war in Iraq because they believe (and some still do) Saddam had WMDs. It doesn't matter how much proof pudding or genius logic you feed any of the three - it just stokes their fervor or paranoia even further; and like any religious zealot, they'll never admit they're wrong.Bloggin' Brewskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117891792945288480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522376676055666486.post-74099498637770128592009-08-03T16:55:00.393-07:002009-08-03T16:55:00.393-07:00Bloggin' Brewskie,

This is driven by a clique who's not interested in political morality, but rather, looking to gain an edge - either politically or monetarily. The sheep being led by this is the same flock that got riled up back in the '90s: over a silly, but politically-dividing blue stain on a dress. <br /><br />Consider Obama's skin color: he's as much white as he is black. Seriously now: is a white American woman really going to fly over to Kenya, get knocked up by a poor tribesman, and sit around on the continent for nine months, away from her family and friends - trusting Kenya's 1960s-era medical care over America's? This doesn't add up.<br /><br />Even Dobbs has been saying he <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/02/lou-dobbs-a-publicity-nig_n_249466.html" rel="nofollow">he believes Obama is a US citizen</a>, born in the state of Hawaii. Lou is a cankerous stooge who’s proven time and time again, he’s willing to go all over the political dial to drive ratings. Against his better judgment, his recent political gambit has been a disaster - for his ratings and CNN.<br /><br />Now there’s a fair amount about Obama I don’t like either; but when you have the likes of Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly denounce this - both seasoned predators who would bounce in an instant on any meaty, controversial topic that would rattle the president’s ratings, and make them more money - you know this goony conspiracy theory is just plain rank.Bloggin' Brewskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117891792945288480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522376676055666486.post-85689338511427952852009-08-03T09:15:20.149-07:002009-08-03T09:15:20.149-07:00Then President Obama should produce a "long f...Then President Obama should produce a "long form Birth Certificate" and end this distraction.<br /><br />President Obama has the power to do that in a heartbeat, but he doesn't.<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />The more this becomes a distraction, the more it is President Obama's fault.<br /><br />By the way, where is the long form Birth Certificate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
