The statement above is an unsupported assertion, and is best characterized as leftist nonsense.
People are wondering how Mr. Obama meets the constitutional requirement of a natural born citizen. Congressional hearings were held to determine whether Sen. John McCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a "natural born citizen." In contrast no controlling legal authority ever sought to verify Obama's claim to be constitutionally eligible to serve as President of the United States. Why?
Plus there are additional concerns relating to lack of information and access to his writings, 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, selective service registration records, social security number irregularities, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and adoption records.
The people of this country know very little about our President. Such a dearth of knowledge about a sitting president is unprecedented.
But of course the Washington Post wants to categorize these omissions and questions under "birthplace" or "religious affiliation." Ha ha!
There were no hearings to determine Sen. McCain's eligibility.
