Notice, that I refuse to address Obama as President until I see a copy of his (long form) birth certificate. It would proove that he was born in Hawaii and not Kenya, as many sources claim.. I have seen a &#8220;Certificate Of Live Birth&#8221; but, according to credible sources, that could easily have been obtained by Obama even if he was born in Kenya. I took an oath when I entered the military to &#8220;support and defend the Constitution&#8221; and that Constitution requires that Obama proove that he is a &#8220;natural born citizen&#8221; in order to occupy the office of President. I have seen nothing that prooves that fact. Until I see the proof, I refuse to recognize him as President.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The above note came to me this week. It&#8217;s from an Amarillo resident who writes letters to the editor of the paper on occasion. It won&#8217;t see print, but I thought I&#8217;d share it here &#8212; without attribution &#8212; to illustrate the lunacy of some of our friends and neighbors. Alas, this guy isn&#8217;t the only person who believes this malarkey.<\/p>\n<p>This note made me curious about something. The writer insists that President Obama prove his U.S. citizenship. Have we ever asked such a thing of any of the men who preceded him? Has anyone ever seen George W. Bush&#8217;s proof that he was born in Connecticut, or any record of Bill Clinton&#8217;s birth in Arkansas? Was Ronald Reagan <em>really and truly<\/em> born in Illinois?<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
