But, the ham-fisted way it has been handled drives me crazy. Dancing around the criticism instead of meeting it head on is self-aggrandizing and makes it look like there is something to hide. <br /><br />Sorry if I sounded as if I were ranting. I probably really need to let this go.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125461268404465022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22468479.post-91272334520878842172010-04-23T14:03:23.407-04:002010-04-23T14:03:23.407-04:00Just to clarify.

Obama's birth cert...My button has been pushed!<br /><br />Obama's birth certificate is not on the Internet. The certification of birth (a copy) not the document produced on the day of his birth is what is on the Internet.<br /><br />I'm not a birther. I think this whole thing is about race. I think that the information that Obama has presented is sufficient and all that is required by law. And, I think other evidence corroborates his birth in Hawaii, and his US citizenship.<br /><br />But, I'm appalled by the willful ignorance of my tribe (lefties) on this issue. The PolitiFact debunking of the birther conspiracy is a deeply embarrassing bit of reporting. If a student of mine turned in something so horribly argued I'd give them an F.<br /><br />http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2008/jun/27/obamas-birth-certificate-part-ii/<br /><br />"At PolitiFact.com, we're all about original sources." And then she (the reporter) slips into a non sequitur and never mentions that the original document produced on the day of his birth has never been seen. Someone went to the vaults, looked at it, and came back up and said it exists. Hearsay.<br /><br />While I understand the left's desire that this was a non-issue, it would be nice if they at least spoke accurately about the facts. This willful ignorance makes it look like there's something to hide. (whew)<br /><br />/petpeeveDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125461268404465022noreply@blogger.com
