Whatever the consequences—and I am no attorney—at minimum if Obama lied about his age and background, he is a con man and should be exposed.
I am not aware that Barry Goldwater was ever suspected as a liar of his history and was forthcoming about the details of his life.
I am not aware that Barry Goldwater was ever suspected as a liar of his history and was forthcoming about the details of his life.I wasn't suggesting that Goldwater was lying. I was suggesting that when he ran no one seemed to think that having been born in a Territory would disqualify him from being President.
If it wasn't a problem for Goldwater, then it shouldn't be a problem for Obama.
I also don't see any reason why Obama's mother and family would lie about his age (he was too young to have been involved). I can understand why they might lie about his birthplace, but I don't see any reason why they would lie about his age.
I suspect Obama is hiding something about his youth, but I'm not at all certain what it is. Hiding his age seems less likely than any other theory I've heard.
