FWIW, Up until this point I have been a skeptic and have argued vigorously against the birthers. However, something about this recent statement coming so late after prior statements and something about a representative determining what "natural born citizen" means and applying it to the facts doesn't sit right with me.
Maybe its because my experience with government officials is they loathe to interpret data. Maybe its because they are stating something today that they claimed they could not state yesterday. Maybe its because Obama could easily release this and its done with but instead we have state officials interpreting the constitution.
No, Traveler, this recent statement has increased my interest and makes it more likely there is something there.
I’ve gone around in circles with this issue- it’s baffled me for over a year. Your sensible post reminds me of how many bits of this story simply don’t add up.
In addition, we have now had several months to observe the president in action and can plainly see how easily lies, deceit and dishonesty come to him.
Oh..., I’ve said, several times in the past, that this issue won’t “go away” for some. I’ve said that there will be protesters on the birth certificate issue, on the day that Obama does the ribbon cutting for his Presidential Library.
Heck! I still believe Clinton was guilty at his Impeachment hearing, but it didn’t happen that way...
And likewise here. There’s “reality” and then there’s those who still persist, regardless of reality. I know what I think in regards to Clinton and his Impeachment and Trial in the Senate — but I also know what the “reality” was, too.
