Baltimore Orioles Slugger: "Obama was not born here"

www.politico.com Luke Scott: Obama wasn't born here By: Natasha Lennard December 8, 2010 01:40 PM EST

________________________ ________________________ _____

Baltimore Orioles slugger Luke Scott segued into his belief in the Obama “birther” conspiracy near the end of an otherwise unremarkable interview with Yahoo News’s Answer Man.

“He [Obama] was not born here” Scott said. “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. And why? Because he's hiding something.”

In a pointed editor’s note, Yahoo News pasted a copy of POTUS’s certificate of live birth. During his 2008 presidential campaign, in order to refute rumors that he wasn’t born in the U.S., Obama released the certificate – the official document Hawaii provides if you ask to see a birth certificate.

Still, Scott’s view is far from uncommon. A Harris Poll from earlier this year showed that of 2,320 adults surveyed, 25 percent said they believed Obama was not born in the U.S.

Probably because he had no friends. You know, the creepy guy that NO ONE would hang out with.
Or no one want’s to be associated with the marxist punk.
Or all his friends have been erased or silenced along with his records.
Wouldn’t put anything past the dim party.

The whole story with this guy is bizarre. I read D’Souzas book and it only adds to the sureal fact that this was ever elected in the first place.

Yeah but at least he would be placed at some campus or school by others, not too many out there that remember any projects or interactions with Othugga. Very strange from the start.

When he was at his highest peak of popularity you would have thought that there would have been dozens, hundreds or more people wanting the spotlight on them for book deals, movie deals, Oprah deals.

But NOTHING!

NOBODY!

Either Obama paid or threatened all his past neighbors, friends and classmates or they were just scenery where he was painted in.

I have looked into the whole BC issue, have not read the D”Souza book, this othugga is beyond real, let alone he is _resident in the White Hut. There are so many gaps it is nuts, just crazy considering where he is today.

To buy sudefed in NH I have to give more id than Othugga has to date. Something is fishy very fishy

What an irresponsible use of basic logic.

I think Obama was possibly born here, but even if he was, is hiding something on the long form BC.

I think the whole thing will open up by the second week of January.

All the roadblocks, the detours, the smoke and mirrors, the SCOTUS stonewalling will take a different course. Because now they are being brought to light, and unlike cockroaches they cannot run away from a new Republican Senate, or the investigators.

“He [Obama] was not born here” Scott said. “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. And why? Because he’s hiding something.”

Furthermore we should have whoever is hiding 0bama’s birth certificate and college transcripts guard our national secrets from wikileaks.

This guy won’t be allowed to say THIS without the lefties losing their tiny little minds.

Yeah, but statistically, most of the pitchers he'll face will be righties....

He is a total enigma and yet, Congress accepts Obama as POTUS. Shows us what Congress is made of. Hopefully the new Congress wiil shine some light on this mystery (if the Supremes allow allow it).

DB: Is there any side of you that sees, politically, the point of people who are into gun control? Or do you worry that if we let [the government] take a little bit, they'll take it all?

LS: First of all, the reason the Second Amendment was put into place was to keep the government from controlling the people. History will tell you everything. Just look at anywhere else in the world. Look at Russia, look at Eastern Europe, look at South America. Gun control means control. It means control for the government and the government starts controlling the people.

This guy is solid! I was a big fan of Scott when he was with the Astros. Now I am a fan of his for reasons other than his baseball ability.
