The poor man does not grasp that they either hate him or they are playing on the fears of citizens to whom he represents their darkest fears. There is no reason for the vitriol and irrational hatred for the man except that he is Black. His being elected reached deep into the American psyche and takes a hammer to the belief that white Americans are god's gift to humanity, that they are the masters of the world.

@411American Sorry Dude, you must have just returned from Mars so let me fill you in. Many crack pots have tried to bring his birth to court, but after reviewing the proof that he is in fact a US citizen, not one judge would allow this issue to waste any of the courts time. He is a US citizen

@12salem Boy not only gullible but cocky

@lovejangie1 Where is the proof? a phony layered form for the gullible

@Adokainmemphis So Obama bears no responsibility? You libs keep buying into that and vote him back; Then maybe at some point he will have to be responsible. The hype I am not buying into is that Obama is not responsible and has no control over his presidency. From your comment either past presidents or the recession is at fault. 15.5 trillion and climbing but Obama owns none of it? I dal with reality and you deal in talking points.

@12salemYou didn't directly make a comment regarding anyone being a 'real American,' and I know Obama was born in the US, of that there is no doubt, but my main comment was, even though there are laws in pretty much every country regarding where a person was born and what passport(s) they have, I wouldn't be outraged in the fact that if Obama (again, for some outrageous reason) was born in Kenya or Indonesia or wherever. Why? Because, again, the majority of us are immigrants anyway.

@jeffrockit You have to look at debt as a trend or in graph form, to say he doubled it is just blowing hype around. The Debt has been out of control since Reagan the big spender threw the budget to hell. When Obama got in the rate of debt was accellerating like a rocket, no one could stop it. Not to mention you cant correct debt during a recession which he was handed. You have to wait till theres growth

[12salem]

@Adokainmemphis You are right about that. Still though ask "them " to even give an example of how he is "anti business" anti middle class" anti military" all the bullshit hate claims against Obama and none of it cn be backed up. Ok some may differ from his policy I get it, but the man is a centrist, hes the most centered of centrists that I can think of.

@davd1986 I believe Canada calls the provinces. Regardless no I do not consider Canada part of the United States, how could I ? The curency in my pocket, and the passport I posses, says United States of America, that is the name of this country, or abreviated USA. Notice the "of America " part ? By the way can you site where I made a comment regarding anyone being a "real American " ?

[davd1986]

@12salem It's not a perception, it's history and reality. So if you consider Canadians being Americans, would you also call them "United States of America," since they too, have states (provinces) that function more or less the same as the states in America?

@411American Proof as in a legal document accepted by the courts, which is as good as anyone else. Point is why would you doubt his natural citizenship ? Speaking of worshipers, are you one of those morons that thinks the Bible is anything more than a fairy tale ?
