You know, another thing that sometimes happens by my participating in these threads is that I sometimes run into somebody with whom I may have differences of opinion, but who actually seems sane.
In spite of having identified yourself as a “birther,” for example, you seem sane. So far, at least. Of course, I’ve had conversations start fine and go bad before, but so far, you seem nothing like some of the nutters on these threads.
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.
