“Obama led everyone to believe that he was foreign born for years prior to running for President.”

No, he didn’t. And if you had good examples that he DID, you’d be sharing them. But you can’t, so you don’t.

Here’s a New York Times article from 1990 that specifically says “Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii”

http://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/06/us/first-black-elected-to-head-harvard-s-law-review.html

And just in case one 20-year-old example isn’t enough, here’s another example, where the Chicago Tribune wrote that Obama was “Born in Hawaii” in 1993:

And just in case you want to argue that he changed his story *after* 1993, here’s the New York Times again, in 2004, saying Obama is “Hawaii-born.”

And do I even need to mention “Dreams From My Father”? Because he specifically referred to a Hawaiian hospital as his place of birth in the book, too.

Now you are lying. You know for a fact I've posted half a dozen examples of News reports indicating Obama was foreign born. There are two videos by Michelle saying he was "Kenyan", There is a video of Obama himself saying it was good to be back "home". (he was in Kenya at the time.) National Public Radio even reported that Obama was born in Kenya, before they scrubbed it. If it weren't for screen capture, we wouldn't even have any proof they did it!

Chris Matthews of "Hard Ball" asserts Obama was born in Indonesia on December 18, 2007, That woman who is the Washington Bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-times reported years ago that Obama told her he lived in Kenya as a child, the list goes on and on and on and on...

As for your cites from earlier reports where he said differently, they don't prove he wasn't lying later. I think the man will say anything he thinks is politically expedient.

For whatever reason, either Obama misleading reporters, or reporters misleading themselves, the Public which read their stuff got the idea that Obama was foreign born. True or not, that is what many people thought, (and many still do today.) Till THAT question was answered satisfactorily, there was no point in worrying about any further disqualification of this jack@ss.
