Interesting, thanks for the info.
But seeing as I am an open minded individual (I was taught a person should have a liberal mindset... and that liberal means "an open minded individual who beleives in good", I kept the mindset but discarded the party association).. I wan't to judge his claims, not his own varacity as a speaker. Crazy people were right about things before.
No matter how much I disagree with an opinion, I look at the facts claimed by the individual to try and verify them or counter them. (which is why I would argue with bigots instead of dismissing them as racist to begin with; this gives me peace of mind knowing how faulty their arguments are, and that I am not deluding myself in the name of so called goodness).
As far as I can see now, the "best case scenario" is that obama released a certified copy of his birth certificate. Then his campaign confirmed it was "original", and original was taken as "the originally created document" and not "an original certified copy produced in 2007; with some minor issues".
This is one possible counter for point #2. The other is that the person claiming it to be authentic is lying. People have done that before. I am personally surprised that there is no comitee / judge verification of a person prerequisites before they even attempt to run for presidency.
As for
I have not heard rumours about Indonesian schools not accepting foreigners.
He claims it was some law they passed. I have not verified that one to be true or false.
Although, in retrospect, even if somehow he is right though (a nut can still be right about things, by coincidence) it is better for this to be settled by election and not on a technicality.
Maybe the best thing that can happen to the US right now is obama demolishing the ecnomy, resulting in a great depression, and an "awakening" of sorts... But that is a big maybe.
Or maybe obama or mccain would be elected and end up fulfilling none of their promises...
