I've been reading the back and fourth....
How many Presidental Birth Certificates have you held in your hands and inspected, held up to the light, checked for typo's....etc?
I'm guessing none.
So if you haven't...you're relying on what exactly to determine that all of the other Presidents were on the up and up? The same institutions that assured you for them are assuring you now, are they not?
Well...whats the difference?
Have I said that all the other Presidents were on the up and up? I certainly don't recall saying that.
All I am saying is that no other President has had these kinds of questioned addressed. The closest to it would be George W. Bush and Bill Clinton both of whom had the rats hunting in all the holes for some kind of personal dirt for the entire eight years of their Presidencies. But I had no questions about either of them nor any other President that I didn't think were adequately answered. We had medical records. We had college papers. We had transcripts. And all the good and bad and ugly (including that which was made up) was aired pretty well.
So the current occupant of the White House has not allowed the curiosity about him to be satisfied. And again, given the power that he holds by virtue of his office, it is not unreasonable to want to know as much about him as possible.
And those who demonstrate astonishing lack of curiosity about Obama and/or regard him as untouchable when they didn't see any other President that way are perhaps telegraphing that they are the most suspicious of all. Otherwise why would they object to curiosity that is quite commonplace regarding any famous person, let alone one as powerful as the President of the United States?
So if we're not paranoid, we're not adequately interested? Strange position.
Did you call for the State of Connecticut to produce GWB's birth certificate? If so, please refer to the post where you did so please.
So far as I know we know who George W. Bush's parents are and there has never been a question that they were both citizens. And since there was never a question raised about where George W. Bush was born I never had a smidgeon bit of curiosity about his citizenship and therefore was completely disinterested in his birth certificate. Were you curious about his birth certificate? Why?
I was as curious about George W. Bush's military service as the next person though when questions about that were raised. And when the 'evidence' of his military service was falsified, I looked, and I was relieved when it was proved to be bogus. And I was satisfied with the explanations that were subsequently provided proving that was bogus. But I looked. And I bet you did too. Why were you curious about that?
I was curious about Bill and Hillary Clinton's Whitewater caper and wondered how that would all play out. I didn't CARE how that played out particularly, but I sure read the stuff and looked at what was shown as evidence and I was satisfied that there was no criminal activity. Certainly not enough to pursue. I bet you looked to. Why were you curious about that?
So if you think there is something wierd about me being curious about the circumstances of Barack Obama's birth and citizenship, sue me. I will look at whatever evidence regarding that is ever produced. And I bet you will too.
And by the way, being curious about something is not the same thing as calling on anybody to produce anything. I know you Obama disciples have a really hard time grasping that concept, but I bet if you really REALLY tried, you could do it.
