At some point every controversy should be put to rest, once and for all. Jackhammer is decided that the time has come to address the “birther” argument – and expose the real issue.
Was Barrack Hussein Obama, the most unlikely of presidents, really born in the United States? Well my loyal friends, there are only two possibilities:
1. The Donald is right. President Obama was born in Kenya, and therefore he is not a real American. There is some excellent photographic evidence to support this theory circulating around the Internet.
2. Obama was born in Hawaii as he claims.
The thing is, it doesn’t really matter. Even if we give Obama the benefit of the doubt and acknowledge that he was born in Hawaii, that still doesn’t make him a real American.
That’s right. I said it. Being born in Hawaii doesn’t count! Hawaii is a small chain of volcanic islands in the middle of the South Pacific. It is over 2,500 miles away from the continental United States. Look at your AAA map of the United States… do you see Hawaii anywhere on it?
Sure, Jackhammer will admit that Hawaiians are allowed to claim a loose affiliation to the Stars & Stripes. Being born in Hawaii is comparable to being born in Puerto Rico, the Philippines, or some other U.S. territory… but that doesn’t make you a “real” American, does it?
So at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether Obama is telling the Truth or not. The crux of the matter is that we should be revisiting the Constitutional requirement dictating that every U.S. president must be a natural born citizen. Given the diversity of this nation, does it really matter? Mitt Romney practices the non-mainstream doctrine of Mormonism… so has anyone asked to see his Certificate of Baptism? Are Mormons real Christians? Don’t both of the presidential candidates represent the Fringe Element of mainstream America in some respects?
In the interest of fairness and equality, I propose we cut both of these guys some slack. Obama is an American at heart, and that’s all that really matters.
