But the questions about Obama's birthplace originated in unsourced blog and message board comments by random people. Questions with no more legitimacy than those I could post here.
For instance, Sarah Palin claims to have been born in Idaho, but I haven't seen any proof of it. No birth certificate. No doctor's name. No public witnesses. And significantly, the city she claims to have been born in was only 50 miles from the Canadian border. Calgary, a MUCH larger city, is closer to Sandpoint than even the state capital of Boise. How do we know that Sarah Palin is a natural born citizen, and wasn't born during a weekend trip to Calgary?
There. Questions have been raised. Questions with equal legitimacy, and even greater likelihood (Calgary is 1/100 the distance from Sandpoint as Honolulu is from Kenya; plus, it's drivable), than those raised about Barack Obama. Does the fact that the questions have been raised mean that Palin now must answer them if she runs again?
Sure. Fine by me.
Of course. And if she were to refuse to provide proof, I would also hope that she is disqualified from running.
However for instances, we know that Obama had a Kenyan father who transmitted his foreign citizenship to him. We know he went to an Indonesian school where the school document says he is an Indonesian citizen after he was probably adopted by Soetoro.
We know from the words of the Kenyan parliament minutes that they think Obama is "native to the soil" and "son of the land" of Kenya of many other Obama comments that were made by them of Obama being from Kenya, which were transcribed on the 5th of November 2008. We don't know of the whereabouts of Stanley Ann Dunham for 6 months in early 1961 while she was pregnant with Obama. Was she in Kenya? We know a Kenyan birth certificate was submitted to a Federal Court as genuine that has not been disproved to be such.
We know that a Detroit radio station on the 5th November 2008 called the Kenyan Embassy who all but admitted to Obama being from Kenya.
We know Obama's paternal grandmother said that Obama was born in Kenya who then was correct or she corrected herself right after she made the comment. Do we believe her that she was telling the truth in former or latter?
And you guys still think Obama is a Natural Born Citizen. LoL!
So what evidence do you have that Palin was born in Canada? Hmmmmmmm?
No interesting is you injecting Sarah Palin into your defense of Obama.
