One of the biggest issues President Obama has had to deal with isn’t some foreign policy problem. Nor is it the health care debate. Nor is it the huge debt. While these are all issues that need to be dealt with, they aren’t the biggest ones. Much to the anger of many people, the biggest issue that President Obama has to deal with is whether he is an American citizen. In other words, people want to know whether he is actually eligible to be the President of the United States. This is a debate that has infuriated people on both sides—some think it’s stupid, others think it’s true.
But, this isn’t an article on how his birth certificate might be real or might be fake. There are millions of those already on the Internet. This is an article that touches on the poor public relations Obama and his team have done when trying to deal with the situation. In other words, they have created a public relations disaster rather than create an opportunity. And, this is an article that sums up that the question of what nationality President Obama might be is impossible to answer.
In public relations, when something bad happens to a company, you can react in two ways. Go head on into it, accept blame and get the job done or you can try and skirt around the issue and try to save time and money. The latter never seems to work because someone always demands some sort of an explanation. President Obama, much to my own curiosity, has decided to try and skirt the issue and spend millions of dollars to prevent people from seeing his information.
He has created this mess for himself. The first mess is with the birth certificate which he has refused to show people. Yeah, he showed the copy, but what about the original? He has refused to show it. Why? Then his school records. Why won’t he release them? If he released them, it would show he was born in America. Yet, he refuses to release them. Finally, his financial aid records. He refuses to release them. Why? Every time something comes up, he says no.
But, this has created another problem on top of the horrible public relations side of things. Try determining what nationality President Obama is. He was born in Hawaii according to the birth certificate he showed in 2007 and the newspaper clipping says he was born in Hawaii. But, then he went to Kenya after birth. Or was it before birth? Then he went to an Indonesian grammar school as a “Muslim.” Then he went back to America and went to some very rich colleges.
What nationality is he? He could be America; he could be Kenyan; he could be Indonesian. He could be, he could be, he could be. And instead of just stopping all of the discussion and just demonstrating that he is, in fact, an American citizen, he has made it a question that is impossible to answer. By creating this mess, President Obama has effectively, whether directly or indirectly, created a monster.
President Obama is going to deal with a lot of issues in the next two years of his Presidency and, if re-elected, his four years after that. But, if he doesn’t get rid of this issue now with a simple release of the documents—would be nice Mr. Transparency—then he will continue to deal with this until he leaves office in 2012 or 2016.
Rather than continue dealing with this very stupid situation, just release the documents and let’s get on our way. You brought this problem upon yourself and now it’s time to finish it so that the Birthers can figure out something else to hate you for. One issue at a time; let’s finish this one up.
Where's the evidence that he went to Kenya after he was born?
Then he went to an Indonesian grammar school as a “Muslim.”
When did he go to any school as a "Muslim"?
You haven’t been keeping up on this issue, I take it?
He was born in Kenya during the last few years it was a colony of the Crown. That makes him a British subject. England directly runs America now, baby!
Yeah, I'm sure Obama lies awake at night worrying about this issue. /s
This article, unfortunately, is a bunch of wishful thinking. Obama, and his past, are protected. The only way his past history gets made public would be if/when he outlives his usefulness to his puppetmasters and they need to bring him down.
It helps explain Obama’s penchant for bowing before the heads of other countries.
This will become immense in 2012, when he can’t be on the Arizona ballot. Or has to sue to be allowed into the ballot without showing one. This isn’t going away. And his behaving exactly as a foreigner would is reinforcing it.
I never thought about that. You might be on to something there.
Indonesian.
He was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, Indonesian National. After Lolo, Stanley Ann and Barry Soetoro moved to Indonesia, he requested and received a Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN) from the Dept of State. A certified copy of Barry Soetoro’s CLN is on file with the FBI, DHS (USCIS) and IRS.
The reason he hasn’t been exposed is because he is denying he was adopted and claims to never have been “a person named Barry Soetoro.”
The key to exposing Barack is by unsealing his adoption records and not his birth certificate. Once the adoption record is exposed, the CLN can be exposed.
He could very well be an American citizen and still not be eligible to the office of President.
Arnold is both a citizen and not eligible.
We are Not Racist!
We don’t like his white half, either!

LOL! /s ...
I actually agree with the article...Pres. Obama should have "spoken truth to power" (a little community organizer humor there) a long time ago, and just put paid to all this...so why didn't he?!
Hubris, carelessness, arrogance, or lack of truth to speak?
Or, to keep the diversionary tactic in place to target as many of his opponents as possible with the "truther" label...a lot of work has gone into disparaging and minimizing the folks who really would like to know the answers!
Is it just me, or does that say he was born in Hawaii?
What difference does that make? Your first question was answered.
the pic at the article is hilarious
Nationality? How about species. He is too skinny to be a gerbil. Maybe, he is a praying “to mecca” mantis.
I just thought it was interesting that it says Hawaii, that's all. What about my question about going to Kenya after he was born?
He’s already President. Ergo, his U.S. citizenship was accepted by a majority of voters.
Why bring up something that the majority of Americans could not give a damn about?
Um, Hawaii and Kansas aren’t countries.
