    It seems plausible Obama himself "padded up" his resume... papa the finance minister sounds VERY impressive :)

    So, you just assumed what you claimed to be true, without bothering to gather facts...

    Now we can all see that for what it was...

    Well if I took a corrupt sleezeball Shicago politician at his word.......and believed everything he said without question....perhaps I could strive to be a non-birhter like you.

    He got that from the pamphlet, but it is not 100% clear that all non-athletes wrote their own biography. It appears likely... perhaps he was pumping his father's credentials. Resumes are often filled with such items. I am speculating and have no evidence.

    I think Barack Obama was born in Hawaii due to the release of the Birth Certificate and the article in the newspaper announcing his birth as an infant. Besides, even on the .001% chance that he is not legit, I think he is very beatable on the economy, social issues, and more. I want the nation to accept a direction of fiscal responsibility through elections; I don't want a corrupt GOP to have anything but that demand from the public. If they have an out with a "Birther" issue, they may ignore the populace when it comes to fiscal matters.

    Do point out where me or anyone else argues with that? Incidentally, Clinton was impeached while still being president... did you know that?

    LMAO @ you sir...

    It's not a matter of taking someone's word for everything they say...

    It's a matter of being able to comprehend simple facts when they are presented...

    Something else that's also important is to try & avoid claiming that you're not something (a birther in this case), and, in the very next sentence, proving that you are exactly what you claimed you weren't...

    If this is, in fact, true

    then you should probably stop posting things that say otherwise...

    Makes that very difficult to believe...

    "Plausible" is the key word RP... you know what they say - If it smells like a fish, good chance it's a fish :)

    Everything that falls in line with your POV is plausible to you...

    You've proven this on the birther issue time & time again...

    Simple facts....like Acton & Dystel stating Obama was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.

    I cant say for sure where Obama was born....and neither can 99.9% of other people.....so I guess were all birthers.

    Somebody, in 1991, thought Obama was born in Kenya. Thats all I need to know.

    So, dear reader, how many people do you know believe you were born in another country, although you were not?

    This was well before the "birther" anger came out. Whats the excuse for this one?

    And when you Google them, you only get birther blogs...

    Wonder why that is...

    HI verified where he was born...

    Only birthers demand delivery room, under the sheet birth video to verify someone is who they say they are...

    I think you must believe in some other Occam's Razor.

    Occam's razor (also written as Ockham's razor, Latin lex parsimoniae) is the law of parsimony, economy or succinctness. It is a principle urging one to select among competing hypotheses that which makes the fewest assumptions and thereby offers the simplest explanation of the effect.


    The explanation which requires the fewest assumptions is that Obama was born in Hawaii, as his birth certificate says, as the State of Hawaii says he was, as his birth announcements said...

    Relying on an uncorroborated, unofficial brochure that posits a world where Obama's pregnant mother travelled, without any record, to give birth in Third World Kenya, without her husband, and travelled back to the U.S., smuggling in her newborn, again with no record, and then somehow created a forged birth certificate.....that is not believing in Occam's Razor...that is believing in Leprechauns and Unicorns.

    The errant Obama biography in the Acton & Dystel booklet does not contradict the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate. Moreover, several contemporaneous accounts of Obama’s background describe Obama as having been born in Hawaii.

    When I was a young boy in school my teacher told me I was not a US citizen... even though I was born here. My family traveled because of my dad's job and I guess there are idiots everywhere. What bothers me is the imbeciles that follow the idiots.

    Probably because they used time travel to go back to 1991, to write that Obama was born in Kenya.....its a big right wing conspiracy to discredit The Kenyan Tyrant.

    It was just yesterday my literary agent had me down as born in Kenya.....but I was born in Ohio.....I guess this kind of mistake happens all the time.

    Of course he did....I have the proof right here.....

    [​IMG]

    ......a Shicago Politician would never lie.....its akin to all those birthers saying Elizabether Warren isnt an Indian.

    None of you Obama sycophants has bothered to ask: If the info in the pamphlet was incorrect why didn't Obama himself ever go to the company and insist they retract the misinformation? Because at the time Obama was once again 'using' the info to get himself into jobs/schools.

    A grand total of (1) people, have claimed to have seen the original BC.....that being one Democrat in Hawaii......

    ....on the other hand, there is a plethora of evidence to suggest Obama was born somewhere besides the US....as Occam's Razor would suggest.
