Wikipedia can be changed by it’s users. I never allowed any references from Wikipedia in my students’ work, it just isn’t reliable or valid in many, if not most cases.

If I may comment from the sidelines (in Canada)... AFAIK, the issue is not whether or not Obama is a citizen of the USA -- the issue is whether he's a "natural-born" citizen, as required by the Constitution. There's a huge difference.

Given how easily this whole thing could be put to rest (Obama simply authorizes a SCOTUS Justice to examine an original b.c.); the real wonder is why BHO is expending so much energy avoiding the issue.

I can walk and chew gum at the same time. In this case I’m actually concerned about the constitution over politics.

yeah, like in 2 secs. DU and Kos must have appointed wiki-watchers.

Because it keeps his opposition busy?

“No one knows what the actual “Birth Certificate” says.”

The way Obama is acting, it reads... 666.

Obama has spent many millions (of taxpayers’ money) hiding a $12 birth certificate.

I say he is NOT eligible to be President.

more fruitful use of such energy would be to work toward not re-electing this guy in 2012

You don't think that Obama not being eligible for re-election in 2012, or being forced to show his B/C in 2012, would help with that?

The deceitful Snopes changes its Obama’s hospital birth locale to whatever Obama’s current story is (he keeps changing the hospital).

Perhaps. Another inference one could draw, is that BHO is hiding something.

"Yeah...writing an article about a change someone made on Wikipedia is absurd. That’s why I don’t frequent WND anymore..."

Farah's got his own private war going with Wikipedia, because of some of the falsehoods about Farah that have shown up on Wikipedia.

I don't think it's absurd, I think it's probably important to get people to realize how unreliable Wikipedia is.

I'm thinking that someone at WND, probably Corsi, has the goods on Obama’s birth. If that is the case, then it's a good idea to make those who are covering up for Obama squirm and dig themselves in as deep as they can go before springing the revelation.

But on the other hand, maybe they got nuthin'. I just know that Corsi did a lot of research on Obama early on, before a lot of things might have been cleaned up by the Obama people.

Probably not the exact change cited, but this one lasted 55 minutes, which is about 54 minutes longer than I expected it would have.

Sure I do. I just know it ain't gonna ever happen because so many forces are allied against it. Any evidence that might have been uncovered is long since buried. I'd love to see it but hammering this issue is just like peeing in the wind. You're going to end up with stink all over you and efforts that should be spent defeating Obama on the issues will be masked or overshadowed by something that will be labeled as a conspiracy theory and dismissed out of hand as the obsession of unstable nut-jobs. I don't see Obama being "forced" by anyone to show his birth certificate. And if he were? There would be a mad rush to prove whatever he produced was forged. The public's eyes would again glaze over... and Obama will skate again.

Snopes should change its name to The Official Truth.

This reminds me of all those articles Rush pointed out that had “The SUV ran over...” “The SUV drove over a cliff...”

“Wikipedia” doesn’t DO anything..the users do.
