ANOTHER GREAT ARTICLE BY PROF. JOHN GASKI...A MUST READ...SCROLL DOWN FOR PART ONE, POSTED THIS AFTERNOON AT 12:51...

If Obama Is Natural-Born, Why Suppress Evidence?

Second Of Two Parts

So what of the cumulative evidence against our maybe-president's citizenship?  Let the reader judge the balance and weight of a summary appraisal. (Curious machinations over a crucial piece of evidence, a birth certificate of all things, changed the balance for me.)


1. If B.H. Obama is a natural-born U.S. citizen, those who flack for him should be able to do better than the unpersuasive defense they have offered.


More specifically damning, haven't you noticed how Obama apologists rarely offer a substantive argument for his citizenship at all, but instead use personal attack, invective, sophistry, demagogy and ridicule? The bottom line: If you believe that the artist formerly known as Barry Soetoro really is a natural U.S. citizen, prove it.  If the subject of the controversy cannot, others are not likely to be able to either.


(When this writer uses attack, ridicule, etc., it is not gratuitous but grows from the substance, such as the appearance of an insidious political provocation and national existential emergency, as here.)


2. A rhetorical question:  If B.H. Obama is not hiding something terrible in his birth records, why has he spent millions covering them up? Maybe it is something else entirely, but maybe not — and ultimately it may not matter, for this deductive reason:  Obama knows the cover-up only creates grave public suspicion about his constitutional eligibility, at least in responsible quarters, so if something else is the real secret, it must be something as bad or worse.


3. An attempted exculpatory answer has actually come from Obama's fiercest opponents. Conservative radio hosts sometimes mention the insider belief that they are being sandbagged or "rope-a-doped," that the birth certificate would reveal valid Hawaiian origin, and Obama is saving it to discredit them or Republicans if they raise the issue.


This amounts to pure, bald speculation, however, because those radio talkers do not disclose any basis. By way of rebuttal, the speculation does not seem to add up for the following reason. The 2008 election against John McCain was very close until nearly the end, and the primary campaign against Hillary Clinton even closer. A late, unforeseen turn of events, and either race could have gone the other way.
Even liberal political campaign organizations are very conservative tactically.  If the Obama side had such a master-stroke ace-in-the-hole, it would have been beyond imprudent not to play it in or near the endgame. Barack Obama, or whatever his real name is, may be a radical, but he is not crazy and far from stupid.
