I read Al Duncan”s column, “Don”t shoot the messenger.” Mr. Duncan is misinformed at best, but most likely just a fool with a tin-foil hat collection. If you do a Google search, you can find clippings of Obama”s birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers. You can also find pictures of his birth certificate. In Obama”s book “Dreams From My Father,” written before he entered public office, he details how he didn”t even visit Kenya until well after college. If President Obama was born in Kenya, a serious investigative journalist would have discovered this by now.
One more thing, and I”m including his gross spelling errors:
“According to Williams, “Regardless to where Barak Hessian Obama was born in 1961, his father, under the British Nationality Act of 1948, was a British subject/citizen and never became a U.S. citizen nor was he ever a domiciliary or permanent resident of the U.S. “Two things: one, this quote cannot be found in the article he was referencing, so he incorrectly attributed his own words as a quote from someone”s else article ? shoddy and dishonest journalism. Two, it doesn”t matter the citizenship of his father since, A) his mother was an American citizen and B) according to the 14th amendment to the Constitution and subsequent Supreme Court decisions, anyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen. Period.
What”s next, a column about how Obama is a secret Muslim? The editors at the Record-Bee should be ashamed for publishing something so foolish.
