Richard Shelby, Alabama Senator, Questions Obama's Citizenship

[ALien]

UPDATE: Richard Shelby's spokesman said the Cullman Times report in which he appears to question President Obama's citizenship is a "distortion" and that the Republican Senator mentioned that he hadn't seen the birth certificate only as a "throwaway line." However, the paper stands by the story. "We reported Shelby's comments on Obama's birth certificate accurately and completely," an editor tells Politico.

The Cullman Times reports that Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, in a meeting with constituents, appeared to give some thought to rumors questioning President Obama's citizenship.

Another local resident asked Shelby if there was any truth to a rumor that appeared during the presidential campaign concerning Obama's U.S. citizenship, or lack thereof.


"Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate," Shelby said. "You have to be born in America to be president."

According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked health department records during the campaign and determined there was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.

The Republicans have nothing to offer except negativity and blocking. No solutions (other than tax cuts) to any of the problems we are facing.

Sen McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, but no one said anything about him being qualified to be president.

I do wonder how many times they need to see the birth certificate? How did they know in 1961 to fake a document? Did they have psychic ability to know that one individual would run for president in the future? (If that is true, I would like to know more about that one!)

The birth certificate is available to many to view at many online sites. Even the most right wing sites have seen the birth certificate and have deemed it to be real.

One does not have to like President Obama or his policies. I would expect the conservative movement to hate the idea that not only is there a Democrat in the White House, but he is a black man as well. Visit many of the militia and other types of websites and one will see what I am writing about.
