Mayor of Champaign Illinois questions Obama’s citizenship
The Mayor of Champaign Illinois is the latest person to question Barack Obama’s citizenship. I don’t know about you, but I tend to cringe when I hear this brought up.

Both groups are operating on the fringe of reality, and neither group is playing with a full deck.
You could argue, and I would agree, that Barack Obama could end all this speculation by simply presenting an official copy of his birth certificate. That would end the debate immediately. Some would argue that his reluctance to make the birth certificate available is evidence of his foreign birth, while I feel that it is evidence of his extreme arrogance. » read more
