Baltimore Orioles slugger Luke Scott(notes) stopped by baseball's winter meetings Tuesday and, after some harmless chatter about his team's offseason dealings, stated with conviction that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
Oh, yes, he did. Scott's opinion about the president's birthplace — while certainly not unique — was a stunning climax to a friendly and frank 20-minute Answer Man session that spanned his enthusiasm for baseball, hunting, firearms, personal responsibility and smaller government.
"(Obama) was not born here," Scott asserted to Answer Man in the session's last segment. "That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything."
Scott's controversial comments are gaining steam in the online world (read the full text of them here), his Wikipedia page has already been updated with the comments and teammate Adam Jones(notes) has tweeted a preemptive show of support ("Luke Scott Luke Scott Luke Scott Luke Scott you still my boy").
Scott used to come to the ballpark packing heat. Now sporting an offseason beard but no noticeable firearm, Scott came out guns blazing, figuratively, in Orlando.

I enthusiastically support you too, Luke Scott!
—yep—I may even try and watch a baseball game if this guy is playing next year-—
My new favorite Oriole.
Love it!!!!
Go Oriole birther!
The author of that article links to a certificate of live birth, referring to it as “here it is” and a birth certificate.
Who was the attendant physician?
What was the birth weight?
African is a “race”?
What a document. Where is the older style birth certificate the Barack mentioned in his own book?
Barack Hussein Obama lied about his parents coming together after the Selma march. He lied about other things in his past.
Show me. I don’t take a known liar at his word.
Gotta love it, ping!
Go Orioles!
Why does this have a barf alert?
Scott asked a question we’ve all asked and have yet to have answered.
He was a good player here in Houston. A true pity they traded him away.
Orioles owner Peter Angelos cannot be too happy with this. He is a huge Castro loving Democrat who refuses to sign Cuban defectors on his team. Angelos is not a fan of freedom.
I gave it a barf alert due to the author’s thinly veiled attempt to vilify and ridicule the player over his conservative views.
And the author tried to make us believe Obama was born here by posting the obvious fake BC. We need more folks like Luke to step up to the microphone and tell it like it is! I like this guy!
Luke, better be getting all of your tax documents in order.
I looked all over to see contact info for David Brown, the author of the article, or for the editor who inserted various things there including Obama’s forged COLB.
What I would want these people to know - to make sure they don’t spread falsehoods and deceptions - is that the Hawaii Department of Health has now indirectly confirmed in THREE different ways that the Factcheck COLB is a forgery, because
1) They have made a statutory admission that Obama’s BC is amended, which must be shown on a genuine COLB but isn’t shown on the Factcheck COLB;
2) They have confirmed that the BC# is given by the HDOH on the “date filed”. This is problematic because the Factcheck “date filed” is 3 days earlier than that of the Nordyke twins’ BC’s but has a later (higher) number than theirs; and
3) Within the last few days the HDOH was forced to release an image of their seal as it appears when stamped onto paper, and it does not match the seal on the Factcheck COLB. See http://obamasgarden.wordpress.com/2010/12/04/unveiling-the-hdoh-seal/
For the first two items there is more info and documentation at http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/red-flags-in-hawaii-2/
Funny. I bet Angelo (the owner of the orioles) was not thrilled with the comment
Go Luke Scott!
What will be funny is all the Liberal GOP Obama Supporters going postal against Luke Scott....those that refuse to discuss Obama’s eligibility
Luke Scott for President. Unlike Obama, he has a Birth Certificate
Excellent. Thanks for all the research and documentation that you do!
There’s no denying the doubt millions of Americans have about this incompetent pretender. We were all blessed by God with a native intelligence that intuits what’s real and what isn’t. This ain’t going away .. the beat goes on. God bless America.

DB: You don’t think that Obama wasn’t born in the United States, do you?
LS: He was not born here.
DB: [Sighs].
LS: That’s my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, “See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.” The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn’t answer anything. And why? Because he’s hiding something.
You know what? People who have bad intentions, people that are deceivers or are not of honor and integrity — that’s how they act. I’ve seen it in every — it doesn’t matter what level. It can be in politics, it can be in business, it can be in sports, it can be in the construction field. Doesn’t matter. It’s all the same attitude. It’s the same thing.
People who tell the truth, they’re very easy to ... their actions prove it. Something as simple providing a birth certificate. Come on. If you’re born here, there’s plenty of documents.
But you know what? There’s no documentation of him. No legal documentation of him. There’s been lie after lie after lie exposed, but people put it under the carpet. Hence, the problem we have in this country.
LS: There needs to be accountability for the truth. I don’t care if you’re the president of the United States, you need to be held accountable. If you’re involved in treacherous acts, or you’re saying things that are against, or are selling out our country, you should be brought to trial.
I agree. No one with nothing to hide tries to dodge where he comes from Most people....MOST....are happy and proud to show the documentation that shows that they are Americans!They certainly don’t get all bent out of shape about it, for sure!
