The only way to know for sure if Obama is eligable to be president would be for him to produce a real birth certificate but he refuses to do so.
If someone refuses to provide proof of birth then what choices are one left with as to what to believe? Very few. One has to consider that maybe he is not eligible or else why not provide the BC??
I read the article you cited, John, and you’re only bolstering my point that you and so many others will believe what they read on the internet regardless of its easy disprovability.
I was watching a documentary on the hippie movement the other day, and towards the end Steve Jobs was talking (in the ’70s) about how personal computers will take so much power out of the hands of “the man” and give it to the people. And that did, in some ways, come to pass. But along with it came a whole new era of ignorance and hysteria.
I think most of the (very large) segment of the population that eschews skepticism would, prior to their internet access, simply not get involved too much in politics. They were busy getting their palms read or looking at their horoscopes or attending seances. But political operatives have learned that they can spoon feed easy-to-access, easy-to-read, bite-sized chunks of bull slop to these people and get them to vote for (or against) the candidates they like (or don’t like).
John, I think you should stand up to these people who are pulling the wool over your eyes. Don’t let them make a fool of you. [/quote]
Who is pulling wool over whose eyes?? A guy who has painstakenly researched a matter or a guy who refuses to furnish conclusive evidence putting the matter to rest.
Obama is treating the entire matter like it doesn’t exist. He has no choice because he can’t address it without the documentation.
