Barack Obama: Liar?

Oh boy, this Obama birth certificate thing may be about to get very interesting.

I've despaired over the ridiculous "Obama wasn't born in Hawaii and isn't a natural-born American citizen" foolishness and said publicly that this train of thought -- if that's what it is -- only serves to help Obama by keeping those of us who oppose his policies off target. Not to mention this; having to defend people easily characterized by the media as kooks.

Andy McCarthy may have completely flipped the script, however.

His Suborned in the U.S.A. article [RattlerGator: I love that title] is a clear, attacking piece that calls out Barack Obama and his media acolytes -- and does so reasonably. The entire piece is a good read but here is the conclusion:

There’s speculation out there from the former CIA officer Larry Johnson — who is no right-winger and is convinced the president was born in Hawaii — that the full state records would probably show Obama was adopted by the Indonesian Muslim Lolo Soetoro and became formally known as “Barry Soetoro.” Obama may have wanted that suppressed for a host of reasons: issues about his citizenship, questions about his name (it’s been claimed that Obama represented in his application to the Illinois bar that he had never been known by any name other than Barack Obama), and the undermining of his (false) claim of remoteness from Islam. Is that true? I don’t know and neither do you.

But we should know. The point has little to do with whether Obama was born in Hawaii. I’m quite confident that he was. The issue is: What is the true personal history of the man who has been sold to us based on nothing but his personal history? On that issue, Obama has demonstrated himself to be an unreliable source and, sadly, we can’t trust the media to get to the bottom of it. What’s wrong with saying, to a president who promised unprecedented “transparency”: Give us all the raw data and we’ll figure it out for ourselves?

Nothing wrong with saying that at all. In fact, it seems quite reasonable to me. It will be interesting to see how this does, or does not, bubble up for national discussion.

The Skip Gates affair [RattlerGator: if I can make time, I don't want to write something about that] may have mortally wounded Obama in a way that's imperceptible even to his opponents. If so, this is the perfect time to beat the drum on his birth certificate issue.

Just today I had a close personal friend remind me, between humongous laughs, of my absolute assertion that Barack Hussein Obama would not be elected President of the United States. Absent the most unserious presidential election of my lifetime, he clearly wouldn't have been. However, wouldn't it be sweet if it turns out that I'll still have the last laugh on this BHO issue after all.

Yeah, baby. It sure as hell would be.

I never thought birth of Obama will become such a big discussion topic. I am following this closely to see where this conspiracy ends. Meanwhile I have collected some good articles and sites related to Barack Obama (more than 200 sites or articles). If you are interested take a look at the below link
