This morning another "birther" story got the Drudge treatment, it was from the Kenyan Daily Standard in 2004. The story begins:
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.The article attributed to the Associated Press did appear in the Standard and most of it was from the AP. The Kenyan paper added the first few words of the story

Look folks. Nobody want Obama out more than I do. But this birther crap is just that--CRAP. And I hate having to defend the usually biased AP, but fair is fair.
Why are we spending time on this nonsense when there is so much low-hanging fruit to go after...like his record as president.
All this story does is make Obama's opposition look foolish, take time away from focusing on his lousy record and help him win re-election.

The real issue is how he has done everything possible to hide his past, and to rewrite his history by convenience.
I agree we need to look at his record because it sucks, but why would the Kenyan paper add that tidbit unless they know something we don't? Could they be adding that information because they are proud that one of their own is having good success? I am not a "birther" but one question that I ponder is why is the president so guarded about releasing any records with regard to his past (IE, birth records, school records, etc.) All previous presidents, I believe, have disclosed this information except him.
CAll what you may, but when a birth cert. is not like others, and not in order, and can be manipulated, and someone will not put up there information, as all other presidents do, there leaves much doubt. None of this was looked into before he was elected. Look how long it took to put up this "birth certificate". Too much nonsense to, again, not bring about doubt, and I do not go into "theories", but know "shady" when I see it.
WHY?
Because instinctively, people feel Obama isn't telling the truth about who he is.
That, AND the hundreds of hidden secrets of his past. Good enough?
