We haven't delved too much into Obama's history on this blog as I recall. We certainly can't be considered a hard core Birther site. I'll bet that every one of us believe that Barack Obama satisfies the citizenship requirement in the Constitution to be President. The problem is that one must use the word 'believe' because there has never been enough evidence presented to the public to establish beyond a doubt that he does. We know very little of the normal things that everyone wants to know about a president. The MSM has displayed its true bias by, on one hand, tearing with incredible zest into the micro-gyno-history and family of Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin (gratuitous Palin photo required), but being singularly uninterested in the many obvious questions about President Barack Obama's past. A couple of articles discuss these things: the first is a 'What If?' scenario pointing out the unapologetic Marxism of Obama by presenting us with a hypothetical alternate candidate:
So I want to present you with a hypothetical. Let's say a leader were elected who had, during his childhood, been mentored by an avowed Nazi. Let us further say that his guardians had chosen this mentor for him, indicating that they were likely sympathetic to the man's beliefs. Now, let us say that upon reaching college, this future leader gravitated toward Nazi professors. Moreover, we then find out that a man who knew the leader as an undergraduate and was, at the time, a Nazi himself, said that the leader was "in 100-percent total agreement" with his Nazi professors and was a flat-out Nazi who believed in old-style Brownshirt tactics.
Okay, we're almost done. After graduating, the leader-to-be spends twenty years sitting in a white-power church, has an alliance with a self-proclaimed Nazi and ex-terrorist, and, apparently, becomes a member of a National Socialist party for a while. And then, upon being elected, he appoints an avowed Nazi to his administration and also a woman who cites Adolf Hitler as one of her two favorite philosophers. Now here's the million-depreciated-dollar question:
What would be nuttier: to claim that this man was a Nazi or to claim that such an assertion is out-of-bounds?
This is an EXACT description of Barack Obama, except replace 'Nazi' with 'Marxist' and replace 'White Power' with 'Black Power'. Yet the MSM is not the slightest bit interested in these questions concerning The President of the United States. Read the whole thing, there are a lot more goodies.
The next article lays out the bullet-point issues the Birthers are concerned about. The author, as well as every other citizen of the USA should be interested in the answers, even if they are convinced Barack Obama is a bona-fide US citizen. Again, why are these issues scoffed at? Someone tell me exactly why resolving these issues is a ridiculous thing. As the author says, every other president in the last 100 years has been able to satisfactorily resolve these issues:
To date the following are all undisclosed:Does wanting to see the records above seem unreasonable? It seems perfectly reasonable to me. So why scoff at the Birthers? It seems to me that by far the bigger question is, why are all these perfectly normal things being hidden?
