I am not a Birther. Period. I don’t care where President Obama was born. I don’t think it will affect the outcome of the upcoming election (perhaps it can have a backlash against the Republicans) and don’t believe that it is an issue that will have an effect on this country’s future. President Obama has been a failure. We have tripled our debt since he was elected, and government has just gotten bigger and more bureaucratic. We are heading toward inflation that might very well, along with sky-high unemployment, get us into a double-dip recession and stagflation. Rising gas prices and declining property values aren’t making matters better. We ought to listen to the warning coming from S&P rather than jumping when The Donald ruffles his feathers. The world is also less safe since President Obama took office with the upheaval in the Middle East and North Africa. We must show the American public that we cannot afford another four years under President Obama no matter where he was born.
Additionally, I do believe that President Obama was born in the United States. As Mike Huckabee rightfully pointed out, the Clintons (the ones who started the Birther movement, by the way) would’ve already made his foreign birth a last attempt to clinch the nomination. We must also take into consideration that even a shocking discovery regarding a foreign birth will not stop Obama from being President. Such a discovery will probably make things more complicated and simply cause lengthy court rulings what the definition “Natural-Born Citizen” is.
