He looks, per his picture, about the same age as Obama. He definintely was NOT the ambassador when Obama was born. Why would he be a credible source to begin with? And why, oh, why, are the conspiracists willing to believe any piece of crap that discredits Obama, but will not take the word of several Hawaiian governmnet officials, including a Republican governor, that O's birth certificate is indeed valid? To me, this points out a "hidden agenda" that has nothing to do with Obama's birthplace and everything to do with getting rid of him by whatever means possible.

I can't answer your questions because I don't know why people are fixated on this. I doubt the ambassador had a clue what he was saying and it made him look stupid. That is why he was probably so mad. I wish I knew more about the radio station and what they were trying to accomplish. That would be an interesting tid-bit.

I love watching people with high post counts who I have seen mix it up just as much as anyone else, be as snarky as anyone else, pretend that they are above-it-all.

To do otherwise would imperil everything and I mean everything that he and everyone around him have worked for. Now, given everything we have seen and known and whether you are an Obama friend or foe is there reason to suspect that Obama in mentally unstable? That is, in effect what you are saying if you truly believe that Obama secretly knows that he is ineligible and is somehow trying to brute force his way into the White House. I have not investigated the issue of McCain's Panamanian birth certificate. Obviously measures were taken by the McCain people to do what was neccessary to assure his eligibility. Explain to me why Obama's situation is any different. This is my first and possibly last comment on this issue. I have watched it rage with bemusement but felt little urge to participate. Darn these slow Saturday nights... ...

I actually think it is stupid and just a distraction that our country does not need considering what is going on. I wish Obama would do whatever it takes to put an end to it because the people prolonging it are not about to stop soon.

We don't know what Obama is doing to stop this stuff. Here is a quote of mine from another one of the eight (count 'em) threads about this topic on this forum:

Salon.com News | Why the stories about Obama's birth certificate will never die

"You might think these rumors would have died off after Obama produced proof in June that he was, in fact, born in Hawaii to an American citizen, his mother, Ann, or after Hawaii state officials confirmed in October that he was born there."

And why should he produce stuff that hasn't been requested of anyone else? K-Law official school records, etc. That is just nonsense. The conspiracy folks will never be satified, they believe every piece of crap including youtube videos that disparages Obama, but won't believe the governor of Hawaii. What does that tell you?

And then you would come up with some other non sense hurdle for him to jump over.

LOL--"The people"??? Oh, you mean you and sanrene? Well, it's ok by me if you never stop. Knock yourselves out and I hope you have fun, because it sounds like you're going to be stuck in this rut for a long, long time.

Well, I'll add that to all the other things you've "assured" us about that I find so deeply concerning...
