Linked on... (WJZ) Baltimore Orioles outfielder Luke Scott wasn’t only talking baseball at the winter meetings on Tuesday. He questioned President Barack Obama’s birthplace and claimed he did not represent the United States.

“Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for,” Scott said in an interview with David Brown of Yahoo’s Big League Stew.

The 32-year-old went on to say Obama has no legal documentation.

“He was not born here. That’s my belief. I was born here,” Scott said. ”If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, ‘See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.’ The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn’t answer anything. And why? Because he’s hiding something.”

I know this has been posted multiple times from different sources, but I thought it was big news that Matt Drudge is reporting it!

Check out the comments on the link. Very defensive of the Baseball player.

Maybe, Obama is good for racial issues in that he is developing spines among OTB (Other Than Blacks) to stand up to racism charges. That charge will never, ever carry the same weight again. :-) Now, maybe only true racists will get demonized (aka, the left).

Luke?

Obama gonna make him get his mind right....

The big question is where was the mainstream media on this? I heard this man (President Trainwreck, Obama) state clearly that if the electric utilities wanted to burn coal, they could, but he would bankrupt them. Immediately, I knew exactly what this would do to the economy. However, he got a clean pass from the mainstream media. They only report what suits their agenda.

As long as the media can get away with selective reporting, we are going to continue to elect Obama's ilk.

Are you talking about the baseball player or obama?

[The Comedian]

I'll bet $5 that one or both of the following events are going to occur before the end of the week:

1) A public apology

2) A temporary suspension

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Professional baseball players. Some of the dumbest people on the planet.

The only saving grace for him is that baseball is more racially balanced than the NFL or the NBA.

You both are welcome.

Until Barry compromised on the tax situation, I thought he had decided not to run in 2012. I figured he was going to make some excuse not to run because he knew he wouldn't be able to win. Now, maybe, he has decided with a Republican congress, he won't be able to do all the damage he thought he would be able to do with just one term and is going to try for two to try to finish off our country.

It is very important that we get our states to pass laws requiring that All candidates prove they are constitutionally eligible to be on their States ballots. It is the only power the states and "We the People" seem to have left against the leftists.

His interview seemed surprisingly well thought out. I am not going to be as judgmental of their intelligence as some.
