Assuming your story is true, if a VP nominee can think that Africa is a country, why can't a hospital clerk think that "African" is a race??

The title of this thread does not reflect the content within the link.

According ot the link 814 phone calls to registered voters determined:

63 % of registered voters buy into at least one conspiracy theory.

Of them, 36% ( 185 people) think Obama is hiding information about his background/early life.

The poll generally concluded the more people know about current events, the less likely they are to believe conspiracy theories but not among Repupublicans where more knowledge leads to greater beliefs.

Perhaps some folk inclined to take headlines or polls as facts are more likely to believe just about anything.

Yes it does.

The most popular of these conspiracy theories is the belief that President Obama is hiding important information about his background and early life, which would include what’s often referred to “birtherism.” Thirty-six percent of Americans think this is probably true, including 64 percent of Republicans and 14 percent of Democrats.

wow. in the words of the great yogi berra "it's deja vu all over again".

we've directly discussed these topics before yet you're repeating them again so...... here's the facts:

the race on the vital records was self reporting. the kenyan census at that time lists a race option as "african"

Also, Kenya was not a cou ntry back then.
yes, it was. the independent republic of kenya had yet to become the country's name.

"The British Empire established the East Africa Protectorate in 1895, from 1920 known as the Kenya Colony."

while I don't question Obamas birthplace, I do think he is hiding something. I think where there is smoke, there's fire.

but it doesn't mean anything at this point. Were stuck with this jerk until 2016 so we need to focus on standing up to him and fighting his bs to keep him from transforming this country any further.

Almost 50 years later VP Al Gore thought he was an astronaut.

And almost 50 years later President Bill Clinton thought that "Life, Liberty and the pursuit Happiness" was written in the Constitution.
