I don't think this is a deal breaker for the election because I think it's too weird—until we have more facts—and too late.
It could be true, given Obie's weird childhood. But I don't think it has time to play out before the election.
What happens, constitutionally, if a non-citizen or naturalized citizen gets elected president? Can you remove him? If so, who becomes President?
The more immediately important aspect of this story, if true, (and I have no information of the credibility of The New Media Journal at this time) is what Michelle Obama is quoted as saying. If it is accurate, she is a woman of very low political skills, and she will almost undoubtedly become the most reviled First Lady in history.
Again, if true, her words are fundamentally racist. She displays a casual hatred of white people that will haunt her husbands entire administration. This is not a recipe for a happy or successful four years. It does not appear that she is entirely conversant with the processes or procedures of the US Government...or the delicate nature and role of public opinion it the success of a presidential administration.
Considering the racial/political tone-deafness displayed by the offensive utterances she has made in the past, I am not prepared to deny the possibility of her having said these incredibly stupid things.
But until we get independent corroboration...really, all we can do is speculate.
What I do love about this story is the last line. And I will retain warm, fond feelings for JB Williams for writing it, regardless of how this story pans out:
"First the election... Then it’s time to deal with an anti-American press!"

P.S. Here is the link to API, African Press International....a Wordpress Blog site (!) It does not fill one with confidence of its bona fides, to say the least.
I like the even-handedness caution you approached this.Berg was on Phil Valentine's Show today,and PV showed the same restraint and scepticism,tho he did ponder about "The One"s trip to Hawaii "all alone" (without Lady Macbeth) to see dear old White Granny (Is he rummaging thru the closets,trying to find papers on his Indonesian citizenship which he may have never rescinded,therefore not qualified to run for President?).SHEESH! Wouldn't put anything past His Fraudulency.
ReplyDeleteIt's self-protection as well as dedication to truth.

"Lady MacBeth"! OMG, That's perfect!
She is thus christened forevermore! (I'll give you appropriate credit, naturally.)
