"(Obama) was not born here," Scott asserted to Answer Man in the session's last segment. "That's my belief. I was born here. 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."

Mods...pull this...Dup.

Guts and Backbone. Pure and simple.

Honest man...would be nice to see this candor from some political leaders

Oriole DH claims Obama was not born here

After reading the article it seemed like it was saying he better shut up if he wants a raise, since his boss is a RAT & big financial supporter of the RATS.

That in itself, gives much more importance to his stand. It's about time we all start speaking our minds & quit hiding in the closet about our political stance!

It's rediculous how bad it's gotten, you are afraid to say you're against socialism, complete government takeover???

[yellowhorse]

Amen! And Amen!

Let me guess. Right next to that real birth certificate are all the passports that have ever been issued to this guy.

I believe the owner is Peter Angelos, trial attorney and big Democrat fat-cat. After buying the franchise over in the 1990's, he has presided over a fourteen year span of crappy baseball - ruining one of the best teams in baseball from 1965 to 1996. He managed to screw-up a franchise so bad that they even finish behind a team from Toronto - a place as indifferent to baseball as you can find in North America.

*team from Toronto - a place as indifferent to baseball as you can find in North America. *

Toronto routinely sold 3 million tickets a year to Blue Jays home games in the 90s.

Montreal was the apathetic city and they paid for it with the loss of their franchise.

Heck, Washington DC probably sells less baseball tickets than Toronto these days.

Well that settles it for me, I’m asking Santa for a Luke Scott jersey this year.

[ghost of nixon]

I stand corrected - should have know it was the French that didn’t like baseball..

[PA-RIVER]

Democrats are finding they hitched their wagon to a con artist.

[PA-RIVER]

CBS has a local article on their web site, and its loaded with demands for his BC.

I think it’s hitting critical mass.

[j-damn]

Oddly enough, Montreal had a long history in baseball before les Expos failed. I don’t know what happened up there.

Isn't it funny how Obama’s people have gotten Yahoo to remove it from the carousel on their main page? You can still search for it, but you have to look specifically for it. Unfortunately, Scott should have said a little more... He should have said Obama's "LONG FORM" birth certificate. Jeff Brown apparently was trying to show him up by showing the computer generated Certificate of Live Birth. Even if Obama really was born hear, there's obviously something embarrassing on the long form certificate that he doesn't want anyone to see... "Father's Name: Unknown..." Wouldn't that be funny? Now that the Republicans will be in charge of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform next year, maybe we can have a Congressional hearing on Obama's Birth Certificate. This seems more important than the Steroids in Pro Baseball hearings that have wasted our tax-payer money...
