I just e-mailed this link to Chris and Michael Piercey. They are all over it.
This aunt needs to shut her pie hole. She’s not helping her nephew at all.
The desperation coming from the White House is palpable.
Even my 99-year-old grandma in San Juan, Puerto Rico asked me today: “Do you think Obama is not American?” I replied with the standard answer I give to other people regarding lack of proof of the birth certificate and eligibility issues, and my grandma says: “Because Wolf BLIS-TER of CNN says that he WAS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES!” (She can’t pronounce Wolf’s name, so she calls him “Blister”).
I laughed so hard that I almost dropped the phone.
Lovin’ your granny! But doesn’t she reflect too many Americans (or Puerto Ricans as the case may be)? They believe Wolf Blister, even if he has not a shred of viable evidence. What they have, i.e., the COLB and newspaper announcements, fall below the bar of what should be required before we turn over the Oval Office keys to anyone.
I’m also lovin’ The Donald these days. He’s an enigma to them. They have successfully marginalized anyone who’s spoken up or acted on this to date. Can’t do it with The Donald. They are 100% stymied.
I have now way of knowing if he was born in the US, and don’t know how Wolf and the others are quite so sure of themselves. But to me, he could have been born under the Capitol Dome and still not be a ‘natural born Citizen.’ I believe the Framers intended that anyone holding that particular office and its awesome responsibility as CinC, had to be without a trace of dual allegiance such. They did not insert those two words “natural born” into any other requirement to hold office.
And, no, he is not imo culturally an American, even tho he may be (and probably is) a US citizen. He is, culturally, a man of the world, but not of the U.S.A. There is something unique about being a Cultural-American (one might say there is something exceptional even). For better or worse, we are different from the rest of the world in hundreds of small ways beyond the obvious.
