Lakin isn’t a decorated hero. He’s a doctor with a few awards. He is also a dupe for birthers like yourself...but I have said to give him credit. Unlike you and your friends, Lakin has put himself on the line. You and your friends watch him from the sidelines, because you are cowards.
Lakin is perhaps the only person whose actions are consistent with someone who honestly believes there is a fraud in the White House. On the other hand, I'm not convinced the people putting out the theories Lakin read are completely serious. Some of their arguments are so bizarre, it's almost impossible to think they could actually believe them.
I think most birthers are looking for an emotional outlet to deal with the Obama presidency. Some are trying to get quick recognition, and some are probably just trolling.
