I guess my hang-up is all of the inconsistencies surrounding the background of President Obama, for example; A bio with misinformation regarding his birth place, a bio he most certainly approved considering it had been updated twice, although his birth information remained unchanged for seventeen years. His associations and mentors throughout his life. An alleged fabrication of his life story and taking credit for the authorship of said story.
Overall you seem to present a good argument, however neither of us have any chips on the table. I am still reluctant to suspend my disbelief regarding this subject simply because of nature of the person; Barack Hussein Obama. It is akin to the O.J. Simpson trial, I just could not get out of my head the fact that his bloody foot prints were found at the scene of the crime.
I certainly understand your suspicion of Obama.
I think he is a deceptive politician. And by a deceptive politician, I mean more deceptive than most.
And when you consider the baseline level of honesty for that particular group of people - politicians - well, where does THAT take us?
So I can certainly understand your suspicion of anything to do with Obama.
The meaning of “natural born citizen,” though, has is really a separate one from Obama’s personal sliminess.
Personally, I believe that to the degree we get sucked up into baseless theories, that makes conservatives look kooky. For one thing, it gives the liberal media the ability to paint us as such.
And to the degree we allow the media to (justifiably) paint us as kooks, I think that weakens the credibility of our legitimate criticisms of a President who legitimately deserves to be criticized the hell out of.
That’s a bit of why I feel this isn’t an unimportant issue. Aside from that (I think I said all this before) it bugs me to see people pushing things that I know just aren’t true.
