After reading Donald Trump's logic about why he thinks Barack Obama's presidency may be "the greatest scam in the country's history," we spent much of yesterday getting up to speed on the issue.
Until yesterday, we actually hadn't looked at the birther question in detail, because we assumed it was just ludicrous conspiracy theory cooked up by folks who are desperate to do anything to have Barack Obama un-elected.
SNIP SNIP
do we really KNOW that Sarah Palin was born in this country? Or Donald Trump? Or Mitt Romney?
A few weeks ago, Donald Trump made a big show of getting his birth certificate to prove that he, unlike Barack Obama, was born here.
Well, how do we KNOW this whole thing--the WHOLE TRUMP CANDIDACY THING--wasn't just trumped up as a way for Trump to cleverly reinforce his fake citizenship?
We don't KNOW that, do we?
And how do we know that Sarah Palin was really born here? How do we know that Sarah Palin is really Sarah Palin and not just another woman by that name? How do we know, for example that Sarah Palin's real name isn't Aliya Naim?
Oh, sure, Sarah Palin can probably produce documents to "prove" that she's actually named Sarah Palin and was actually born here. But as Candidate Trump teaches us, how can we really be sure?
And how about Mitt Romney?
Mitt Romney certainly looks and sounds American, doesn't he? But how do we know that his accent and his all-American (white) good looks aren't all just an amazingly clever cover-up orchestrated by his parents half a century ago. As Trump points out, LOTS of people wanted to be American citizens in those days, including, perhaps, the Romneys. (Maybe they adopted him. Or stole him. Maybe their names were actually the "Husseins"!)

Well, if BHO manages to show his birth certificate, perhaps it would be the greatest tool for shutting up the opposition out there?!!! /s
The pressure is on.
Bwahahahaha - I love the smell of exploding liberal heads - it smells like -— victory!
Now that’s just stupid...
On scale of one to ten, with ten being a good satire piece, I give this a two...................
Because if any of these people run for President they will have to prove that they are a natural born citizen. Something Obama hasn’t had to do.
BS from BI trying to back BO......
Sarah 2012 !
And they say drug use is a victimless crime.
Henry Blogett writes like a sixth grader.
Blodget was better at finance than he is with politics.
The author’s attempt to be clever and funny dramatically achieved neither goal.
I don’t think we ask a private citizen to show their birth certificate to the nation unless that person is runni....oh wait, we don’t even ask them if they are running for office now.
Come to think of it. We have never seen Obama’s either to determine if he is eligible to be president.
These guys are so funny.
This “article” earned Henry a free coupon for a one time shot at kissing his “messiah’s” @$$ and then kissing his feet. Way to go Henry! You go girl!
Not to mention shooting up speed, apparently.
Who gave this crying child a pen, and then published his/her scribble?
“Henry Blogett writes like a sixth grader.”
Which, for him, is pretty good considering he has the mentality of a 2 year old.
LOL - Secessionists live in the backwoods of Idaho, and since Sarah Palin was born in Idaho, maybe where she was born wasn’t part of the US at the time she was born... /s
