Birther, birther, birther, birther, birther. I’m growing tired of hearing about the dispute over Obama’s lacking birth certificate. Not because I think the argument has no merit, but because the left is using coverage of all things “birther” to distract Americans from the real, serious issues that we are facing today. It’s today’s version of “I can see Russia from my house” (a statement that Sarah Palin never said, but is believe to have been said by millions of clueless voters).
My take: Obama’s mother was a flake. She had a thing for foreigners, she married and divorved twice, and moved around quite a bit including going overseas. My money is on the fact that she probably lost his original birth certificate, making it impossible for the president to prove anything about his birth via original documentation.
However, rules exist for a reason. Obama should have had to prove his eligibility, otherwise the concept of rules and requirements becomes moot. I am still waiting for any liberal to justify why Obama had his records in Hawaii sealed. If there is no problem, he would share the records and all of this birther talk would go away. What could justify the hiding of his documents? What’s in there that we will probably never see? If I were insanely rich I would offer one million dollars to anyone that could give me a reasonable explanation justifying Obama’s secrecy. I think my money would be safe.
How bout this: I’ll give out a rare and valuable RFC Radio sticker to anyone that can explain Obama’s lack of transparency on this issue. 
This from the party that wanted to investigate, indict and witch hunt as many Republicans as they could. So much for the most ethical Congress ever, huh Madame Speaker? Do you remember saying these words Nancy? Care for a do-over now?
“The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history”
Honest. Open. Ethical. Hope. Change.

The AP reports: “The war-zone photo opportunity produced a stunning show of appreciation for Obama from military men and women who have made great sacrifices, many serving repeated tours in a highly unpopular war.”
Stunning is an appropriate word since it appears that the scene was staged like a Broadway play. A sergeant at the event said “We were pre-screened, asked by officials ‘Who voted for Obama?’, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.”
Would Obama do such a thing? Since he is all about flash over substance I say hell yes he would.Were soldiers pre-screened? Were Obama voters placed at the front of the crowd? Is there fire for this smoke? Will the press cover it? I doubt it, but something similar occurred under the Evil Bushbot and it was covered even by the evil Faux News. And, as reported by Flopping Aces the Bush scandal was not a scandal at all, yet it was covered ad nauseum. To quote from this article, “Now there is evidence that Obama perpetrated an actual fraud right under the watching eyes of the press, handpicking Obama voters to represent on television the views of our soldiers, and the press reports nothing but the fraudulent story.”
Let’s hear it for transparency. Go ahead, keep the change.
