Forest, Trees, You Know

I'm sure that most of my readers are aware of the Obama birth certificate controversy in which some believe that  by not making his Certificate of Live Birth public, it is indicated that the president may be hiding his birthplace.  (The birthplace is assumed to be Kenya.)

Now there's a new Obama birth "scandal" about which the butt-planted classes--of which I am one--are making a big deal. In this one, a MySpace page exists listing  the president's age as 52 rather than 48.  It is alleged that such would make a difference as to the president's citizenship eligibility even if he were born in Hawaii because Hawaii was not yet a state in 1957.

Leave aside the error and the ridiculousness of the assertion.  If it were true that that Barack Obama Jr. were four years older than he claims to be, that would mean that Barack Obama Sr. could not be his biological father since the latter came to America via the Mboya Airlift on the same airplane as my father in the Year of Our Lord 1959.

This would also make the COLB/birthplace issue a moot point.  Just saying.

Does this correlate with the discrepancy between his book's assertion that he lived with Sr. for two years, when his mom's college records show her being in Seattle (with him) at that time?
We need to keep on this. If nothing else, it helps to bring his legitimacy into question for the purpose of discrediting him and his re-electability.
If he doesn't want to settle it, we need to exploit it. They would.

Mheh. I don't even think he's human. Maybe he's one of those "crab people", like on South Park.

Hawaii was always an "organized" territory. That means it was considered United States soil just as much as the 48 states and the District of Columbia. A peerson was born there before state hood is automaticly a natural born citizen.

And also his mother was a US citizen with permanet residence in the US, he would be a Natural Born US citizen no mattter where he was born.

:- ) I heard the government has a secret radio frequency that goes through tin foil hats. Obama is using it to start stupid rumors by people who think they are protected to discredit the oppostion.
