They put their blinders on before the 2008 election and will never remove them for the Kenyan from Indonesia.

Obama was precisely why the founders put the natural born citizen clause in there.

Not ONE of our elected OR appointed honored their oath to the Constitution.

"willful blindness"

Could you imagine the Republican candidate for President hiding in his basement for months before the election?

There'd be a 24/7/365 drumbeat by the Media about it.

They're willfully blind about Basement Biden, and they're willfully blind about ObamaSpying.
