Is Obama the President? This Soldier in Iraq Says No

By Paul Bedard

It's been considered a fringe lawsuit, but now an Army officer's decision to join it is drawing new attention to President Obama's birth certificate. Military.com reports that 1st Lt. Scott Easterling sees the president as an "imposter" and "usurper" because he hasn't produced the types of birth documents proving he was born in Hawaii that the officer wants. The crazy case, which one legal analyst said won't go far, has been the grist for stories in conservative and international media. But it also raises a very real question: Should members of the military be on active duty and dispatched to Iraq and Afghanistan if they challenge the elected president's status?

Here's the Military.com story.

Hey Tigerpaw of GA !

You sound like you are dead in the tank for Obama. What has Obama done to prove he is a

leader? Sounds to me like he is a Chicago thug beholden to the MACHINE. As for Lt. Easterling , he is serving to make your gripy a** safe. What are you doing? HUH?

You’re wrong whites aren’t the only ones to disapprove of obama. I am Hispanic and I am joining forces with all that opposes Obama if anyone can change this it will be the Hispanics. My family and I will be the ACorn for the conservatives and will bring as many Hispanic to vote against obama. We will stand up to all including the black panthers. I don’t know why they think people will be afraid of the Black Panther because we can carry clubs too. Whatever they bring is nothing what obama is doing to our country.We I will be proud to stand against any one who dares to bring the US down. By the way I do like FOX and I can also tell you who you are but you do not deserve my time, as you can see you’re wrong again.

now bend over and get your grade...
