Foreigner! February 13, 2009

Reading the paper this morning I came across a ludacris little article about four Tennessee State Representatives who are chasing a helpless conspiracy theory that I can only assume they hope will remove President Barack Obama from political office.  Representatives Eric Swafford (R- Pikeville), Stacey Campfield (R- Knoxville), Glen Casada (R- College Grove) and Frank Nicely (R- Strawberry Plains) have agreed to be plaintiffs in a legal suit questioning if President Barack Obama meets the congressional requirments to be president. 

This group of lawmakers is calling for the President to turn over his birth certificate and any other documents to prove his citizenship.  Are you kidding me? 

Despite the fact that a similar lawsuit was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year, the Defend our Freedoms Foundation is not discouraged and plans (though they have not yet filed) to file a lawsuit disputing the President’s citizenship. 

This last-ditch effort to oust our President is laughable at best.  It is not only pitiful but really quite embarrasing that elected officials in this fine state of Tennessee could possibly believe that the U.S. Government could be so negligent as to lack verification of the credentials needed to be elected the President of the United States, before he was elected President of the United States. 

Sad really, to give so little credit to the American people that they could be fooled by this callous manipulator, the supposed Barack “Hussein” Obama, this Barry Soetoro.  To think that he has pulled the veil over the majority of voters eyes and pulled off the greatest forgery in American political history.  Stunning. 

Now let’s say that in some kind of miraculous fantasy world this theory that Obama is a “foreigner” is valid, what then?  Do we oust him from office, exile him back to Indonesia or Kenya or wherever such place these conspiracy theorist believe him to be a citizen?  Yes! Grab the telephone, dial McCain and bellow the news that it was all a mistake and really he was meant to be our leader not some spineless lying Democrat. Rig up the golden chariot, swoop up McCain, rush him to the oval office, all the while red streamers spinning down from the heavens in a sparkling right wing hay day.  It was all a bad dream and the evil foreigner is expelled, ne’er to torment this country and its nieve citizens again! 

Right, I won’t hold my breath.
