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.

My final thoughts on this subject:

Thank you your contribution, and your civility at least towards me.

I agree that the media distorts the news and the perception of reality, (see Newsbusters for examples). I reluctantly accept the inevitable, this issue may well be moot as you described. But the matter is never closed until the truth is fully examined.

My hope is for full journalistic investigations conducted and reported for all politicians, regardless of political affiliation.

Well I can dream. Good luck.
