Well, Traci Sommerville, by your example, McCain is the one who would not have been eligible to be president. He was certainly born in Panama as a “military brat”.
We have Hawaiian officials, including Republicans, who have verified the original document. The law of the state doesn’t allow them to make it public. Are we suggesting that they break that law to appease a group of nuts who will not support Obama anyway? And, to the guy who says that the officials in Hawaii are not experts on birth certificates and could be fooled by the original document, please explain exactly why and how the original document was forged. And, who exactly would be an expert on birth certificates if not state and medical officials?
This is silliness. I’ve never seen anything like it. Bush was different, because after all, he did come into office under unusual and controversial circumstances. Still, he was given the benefit of the doubt, and even had a 91% approval rating directly following 9/11. It was his subsequent dishonesty about Iraq, and his part in the destruction of our economy and standing in the world that caused the backlash by the left (and the middle for that matter). Obama has been facing this since before his election. Now he has only been in office for a month, and quite honestly, he has followed his campaign promises so far better than anyone I can remember, and I’ve been around a while.
This hatred is unique and personal. Some expected it. I’m terribly disappointed.
