Any link substantiating this would be most helpful!
I will dig. I know it’s only anecdotal, and suspect, but I’ll tell you why I remembered. It was the first election I voted in, and I was glued to the TV. I was pretty annoyed about hearing about this “Obama,” because at the time, it sounded very much like “Osama” and I was only just new to local (state) politics.
I don’t even remember which network it was on, so I’ll have a hard time finding something if they even exist anymore. But I am positive of it, because when I first saw Barack Obama in the Primaries in 2008, I was asking my dad “I thought he was the guy who couldn’t run, wasn’t he?”
Anyway, while my own memory doesn’t serve as “proof” I just wanted people to know what my experience WAS. Whether or not this issue is something that can be “won,” people need to know that they’re NOT crazy, because the proponderance of evidence is, that’s Obama is an Immigrant. Richardson said it, Michelle hinted to it, Obama’s family has said it, and people have reported on it. This is a big coverup, and people are not crazy for recognizing the inconsistencies.
