What do you mean by "crackpottery?"
The public knows practically nothing about Obama. That is the issue!
The real story is the unprecedented lack of openness by our President in connection with his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and adoption records.
If President Obama grew up poor what were his sources of funding? Who sponsored his community organizer job? What about his draft registration? Is there no controversy in that matter?
And there are many legitimate, unanswered questions in connection with his birth certificate. Why were there no hearings in connection with his satisfying the requirement to be a natural born citizen? We sure had hearings for McCain, who is clearly a natural born citizen. But we just had to have hearings on that matter for John McCain. Why not for Obama? There are questions of substance in connection with his satisfying that requirement IMO and in the opinion of many other voters in this country!
Part 0bamanista, part troll.
Regardless, his name-calling certainly will never counter any of the simple and fair questions that millions of Americans are asking right now.
If Obama is Constitutionally legitimate as President, then why hide, obfuscate and lie so much about who he is and where he comes from?
If any question needs to be asked, it is why he has spent nearly 2 million dollars defending himself in court when he could easily produce some simple state documents for less than 100 dollars.
Because the legal status of the Panama Canal Zone is a bit fuzzy, but the legal status of Hawaii is not. Duh.
