Thanks for writing about this. The depths to which the John McCain, his campaign, it’s surrogates and the Right Wing fringe surrounding them have been willing to go to in order to attempt to scare America into voting against reason is just more evidence that a McCain win would be 4 more years of what we have had with Bush. No wonder Cheney endorsed McCain, why wouldn’t he want 4 more years of the same?

Senator Obama was the natural child of a United States Citizen. it doesn’t matter where he was born since that gives him a U.S. Citizen status.

There’s now a conspiracy theory under every leaf, and the 24/7 news media eat it up, and perpetuate it. Anything to fill the news void, truth and accuracy be darned. I get so sick of hearing about the so-called “liberal” media. The radio airwaves are bombarded with the likes of Limbaugh, Ingraham, Bennett, Prager, Hannity, Beck, Levin and Hewitt. There is Fox News, the many Republican-owned newspaper chains, TV outlets and Internet sites. What we have nowadays is a radical media. The networks have been reporting for weeks that Obama has a big lead, but now that they need to hype their Election Night TV coverage, the talking heads are telling us how “the race is tightening”, “it may be closer than we expected,” blah, blah. Anything to spike the TV ratings. Telling the truth - that the election figures to be a landslide - would hurt their precious ratings (dollars). The ones we really should be suspicious of are the corporate-owned media, because their news “judgment” is driven by the dollar. Once the bean-counters started sticking their noses into the newsroom, that’s when credibility went out the window.

I really hope this clears it up but I wish they would have done this sooner…I am tired of hearing about it but I do wish they would have just done this months ago when it was first asked for b/c now it does seem they are just saying this after Obama went down there…I really truly hope what they say is true but now a days you dont know who to trust, do we? Oh well, and I am not implying that Obama is not a natural born citizen…I never followed that story b/c that wasnt a deciding factor for me.

This whole thing is a ‘projection’ attempt by the McCain campaign, IMO, as it seems that McCain was not born on the miltary base hospital where his father was stationed—-and in fact was born a Panamanian citizen—-which is why Congress had that ‘special vote’ several months back to formally approve his eligibility to run for POTUS. Personally, every time I hear of another attack on Obama, from the McCain camp, I google the subject of the attack along with McCain—-and guess what? A LOT of things that he accuses Obama of, are seemingly, in fact, something that McCain has done…and the ‘deflection effort’ begins….

HOW RACISM WORKS What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review? What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class? What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said ‘I do’ to? What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she no longer measured up to his standards? What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization? What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard? What if Obama were a member of the Keating-5? What if McCain were a charismatic, eloquent speaker? PS: What if Barack Obama had an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter…. If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are? This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.
