So how many of the Birthers are also the ones that complain that Government spends too much time on senseless things rather than working on solving our problems? Well take a good look at yourselves in the mirror and you should publicly apologize for your sins of bearing false witness. Why do you folks and Fox "News" still retain any level of respectability after pushing these lies? Where is the accountability for YOUR actions?

Is required to be US citizen to be President and long ago McCain showed his.
But not TRANSPARENT BARRY...

He's catching flack because he's black. If he was white, people would just assume he's as American as apple pie. But no, he's black, so anglo-protestant elites say he was born in Africa. Freaking racists.
On the bus today a Mexican girl sat next to me and was slightly rubbing up against me. I really enjoyed it. One of my best friends is black and homosexual. I beg him to give me massages.
Just wait for generation Y to take over. We won't make our progeny as ashamed of us as the baby boomers are making us of them. Plus, with the US Dollar declining, those uneducated and born to wealth will lose power.
The highly skilled, like myself, with advanced degrees and research capability will take over. With the US Dollar declining, foreign countries will outsource labor to us. The US is due to reform in the near future.
Failure to educate ones mind correlates with mental faults, perhaps including racism, regardless of which accredited school you got your degree from. Donald Trump is a racist who graduated from UPenn's Wharton School. Period.

"Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?????? When did this happen? Did I miss something? I only know of Japan bombing Pearl Harbor................"
Scene from Animal House (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077975/quotes):
Bluto: Hey! What's all this laying around stuff? Why are you all still laying around here for?
Stork: What the hell are we supposed to do, ya moron? We're all expelled. There's nothing to fight for anymore.
D-Day: [to Bluto] Let it go. War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [to Boon] Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard of something to say]
Bluto: The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!

I noticed in the small town I visited last summer that it was a lot of old white folks . I think they really had a tough time handling a black man as president. The fact that he was a good leader , as opposed to bush , probably rubbed salt in their wounds. Also, I noticed that it was mostly the uneducated and FOX news watchers. The kind that don't read much.

This is only the beginning. More to come about Mr. Obama's eligibility. This can't be bottled up forever.

I don't think it's all that veiled.

This whole thing is nothing but thinly veiled racism. If his name was John Smith and he was some overweight pasty white guy none of this would have come up. It is shameful and disgusting.
