I was reading about the president’s visit to Africa, Ghana specifically, and it came to mind that Obama is still being accused of not being a natural born citizen of the United States and therefore ineligible to be President of the Union. This article sums up the myriad of inconsistencies when it comes to accounts of Obama’s birth. The birth certificate he offered seems to be a fake, he was described as a Muslim in official papers from Indonesia, two different hospitals have been identified as where he was born, he has dual citizenship and is therefore not a “natural born” citizen, etc.; the list is exhaustive. Personally, I thought that these accusations would be put to rest a long time ago; I assumed that Obama would release some real documents or something, but apparently the questions still remain and there are motions before the courts that are trying to get to the truth. At this moment, it seems that the establishment is sticking to its guns and will not waste time looking into these accusations. So, to all the people out there who think that Obama is the Manchurian Candidate: sorry guys, it doesn’t look like he’s going to be disqualified due to his birth circumstances any time soon.

Since the birth issue seems to be a dead end, what we really have to ask ourselves is whether the current president is defending America, our values, and our Constitution or not. Even if he were not natural born but were nonetheless very patriotic and put America first, I would have no problem… just like if he were natural born but bashed America at every turn, then that is unacceptable. Ultimately, every American must judge for themselves whether Obama is the type of person who waves the flag proudly or not.

One thing is peculiar though: while some conservatives question whether Obama was natural born, most liberals ardently believe that Obama was not born at all… he simply descended from on high. At least that’s how they act.
