Since you don't know the man, I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion, perhaps using the same logic that led you down the birther bunny trail.
My position is quite simple and has nothing to do with what sort of person Lakin may or may not be. He was a Commissioned Officer of the United States and therefore required to adhere to a very high standard of conduct. He failed to measure up to that standard as he freely admitted at his Court Martial. We, as a nation, cannot abide an officer who chooses to involve himself in politics while in uniform. Spare me all the illegal orders nonsense. Lakin knew his orders were legal and he chose to disobey them in order to cast himself into the political argument over Obama's shady path. That public argument is off limits to serving officers. He failed to advance his foolish cause and he will pay a big personal price, unlike his many birther supporters who walked away from this mess with their publicity goals satisfied at his expense.
I'm not going to pretend that I hold the birther brigades in high regard. You have all formed opinions completely unsupported by facts and evidence and can do nothing but attack those who do not agree with you. That's what Liberals do and I don't care for them either. Obama is a phony, no doubt. But, the facts and circumstances of his early life elude us thanks to his diligent efforts to destroy or hide the evidence. He will never be held to account for his deceptions as long as the loudest voice remains wild speculation about where he was born.
Lakin remains responsible for his own behavior and decisions which were both illegal and improper for a man in his position, but he has you and your birther buddies to thank for helping him down that path.
I hope that you enjoyed your leadership class.
I have never claimed to know where Obama was born. None of the questionable documentation that he has been provided to the public can even be proven to have been released by the man himself. It seems doubtful much of it would hold up in court, which is most likely why his administration has fought so hard to keep any of his “documentation” from being scrutinized in a courtroom setting.
I do know that much of Obama’s official narrative has been proven to be pure fiction. I do know that arrogant know-it-alls such as yourself who are willing to accept without question this BS are fools. I believe that President of the United States is still the most powerful person in the world and that the person who holds the office is constitutionally and morally obligated to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that they are eligable to hold that office. In Obama’s case this has not been done. Multiple polls have shown that a sizable percentage of the population are still not sure about his origins or background.
With all the lawyer speak and double talk on this issue... I think it is possible that everything on the questionable Certification of Live Birth that was released could be accurate. I believe that the definition of “natural born citizen” commonly accepted by the framers of the constitution specified that both parents must have been citizens of the United States at the time of the child's birth. It is possible that the battle to keep this out of court is merely to keep Obama Sr. from being proven in a court of law to be Jr.s legal father. This could open up a whole new can of worms. At this point all we know is that Obama’s allies have fought very hard to prevent the documentation that could put this all to rest out of a courtroom.
