there are many things that smell rotten, as you said.
First. I feel people have a right to know Obama’s birthplace.
If these people are not satisfied with the Certification of Live Birth shown, they have a right to ask for further documentation.
Second.I am little more dissatisfied with those who feel the “need” for him to be born in Kenya. It often appears this is more of a wish to pursue other more unspeakable goals than anything else.
Third. I am truly disgusted by those who PROFIT from this situation. This is the category to which Lucas Smith belongs to. If these people are to make credible statements they have to quit pushing rumors and innuendos. Lucas is 29 and if he feels that acting birther is the best way to enact his patritism, he is not fooling me. Many of us have served and I am among the lucky ones to be still here to say so. Simply waving a flag or inciting is no act of patriotism. He has better ways to do it, but these ways imply risk, discipline, silence and sacrifice which are categories to which he is not accustomed.
Fourth. I wish that people took their time to think about the long term consequences of the most crazy birthers’ actions. We must be very very very careful not to undermine the presidency as an institution. If one President is ridiculed and insulted gleefully this will inevitably undermine ALL future Presidents. A certain a mount of respect while disagreeing is necessary.
concluding, I do make a difference between
those who ask and seek
those who need
those who profit
