The first time I heard about the Birther movement was on the Peter Bowles show, a "slightly" right of center show. Personally, I think he's left of center, but stays to the right to keep the audience.
He's in Denver and has a full spectrum audience.
Anyway, he brought on a guy who brought a lawsuit in Federal Court to get the original Obama birth certificate into the public. It failed.
The first thing I thought, was this guy is a fool. The law is stupid to begin with and if someone is an American citizen for most of his life, he should be able to run for POTUS.
Anyway, this was in Feb, 09 and six months go by, Peter starts talking about it again. He's getting calls from everyone to STFU and go to something of real importance. I thought the same. This is boring.
BUT, Peter brings some interesting questions. It's stuff like
"What is Barry hiding?"
"Did Barry's mother leave the father?"
"Were they married?"
"Did Barack Sr. put Muslim as the religion?"
Then why is Barry hiding so many other documents, like University records?
I don't know... I never would have thought about it, nor do I really care. But, the movement is growing and so many people following it and asking these questions are giving it legitimacy.
I think Barry needs to come clean before this turns in a WaterGate style scandal. All Nixon had to do was admit that he didn't know and when he found out about it, condemn it immediately. It would have been over!!!
If Barry can turn around the economy, all is forgiven.
