This isn't convoluted - it is a rather simple matter of law. The fact that no one wants to pay attention to the clear meaning of the Constitution - because they are too stupid to understand the concepts involved - or just don't care - is irrelevant. Why, specifically is this "garbage"?
Because Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mother. Like it or not, he is eligible.
But I guess Obama has pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Everyone from Bush to Cheney, to Rice and the entire State Department (who are currently briefing Obama on matters of national security), to McCain, Palin, Hillary, Rush, Hannity, Fox News, virtually every conservative media personality and everyone else on the planet. Everyone is just too stupid to understand the clear meaning of the Constitution --everyone except a handful of internet gumshoes who know the real truth.
Yeah. It's just one big conspiracy. And you wonder why nobody takes you seriously? IMHO, you people are turning this forum into a joke and that's a damn shame.
