The president did something he should never have had to do: Release his birth certificate. As this amazing commentary points out, this is about his citizenship as determined by race. The right is apoplectic over this issue because it believes that someone who looks like Barack Obama should not be allowed to be president. He is not a full citizen, the birthers believe, for no other reason than his race.

One thought on “Race and the birth-certificate non-issue”

  1. You accept facts not yet in evidence. What is a \”native born citizen\”? And, did BHO44 have dual citizenship as a result of his Father's citizenship? And, after you've struggled through these two \”interesting\” questions, let's consider: \”Did BHO44 claim the privileges of a foreign citizenship to gain admission in school in Indonesia, Occidental, Columbia, and / or Harvard?\”By the way, let's have some forensic experts take a look at this \”birth certificate\” on live TV. There are some inconsistencies.Finally, how did BHO44 wind up with a Connecticut Social Security Number?The man, because of his lack of \”transparency\”, induces folks to ask questions to explain him, his actions, and his \”policies\”.IT may well be the \”biggest con job ever\”. We just don't know what is being hidden. And why?
