I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s something fishy about Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

In 2008, he didn’t want to release it.  After being pressed, he released a “Certificate Of Live Birth” – a document that is not a birth certificate.

The media lapped it up and moved on.

Birthers, those folks who think Barry was born in Kenya, thereby making him ineligible for the presidency, maintain that there’s a conspiracy.

Me?  I think we’ve seen enough cagey birth-cert related behavior to suggest that something’s amiss and, if this was a Republican President, the press would NEVER stop investigating it.  Am I convinced that the birthers are right – that the great and powerful Obama is not a natural citizen?  No, and until I see some evidence to the contrary, I’m going to accept the official story.  Obama was born right here in the good ‘ol U.S. of A.

Maybe if there was someone close to the President making the Kenya claim – someone in a position to know – maybe I’d think differently.

Fortunately, there’s not, and as far as I can tell, there never will be.

This recently discovered video is from 2008.  Obviously, the notion that Obama’s home country is Kenya can be written off as a slip of the tongue or teleprompter error, right?  I mean, it couldn’t have been a Freudian slip, could it?  Of course not.

Note to Michelle.  When you’re trying to squash a rumor, this is not the way to go about it.
