WOULD BARACK LOSE HIS "STREET CRED" WITH YOU?
Ok, so by now you know Barack Obama has to put up or shut up. Yeah, by now you guys are aware that there a few people who are questioning his citizenship, and hence questioning his ability to be sworn in as president of the United States.
Yes, and by now you know that Black America's favorite uncle...Clarence Thomas, is responsible for the review of the case by the Supreme Court in the case of Donofrio vs. Wells. It would appear that for some reason, and no I won't dare say racism, there are people who have a problem with Barack becoming president even in the wake of the fact that his election was mandated obviously by the polls casted on November 4th.
Chances are, none of this will stop him from being sworn in. However, what if it did? What if somehow the Supreme Court, or the Electoral College came up with the idea, or exposed the fact that Obama is not a natural born citizen. How would you respond to that? Would you think its just another form of racism? I really would like you to think about that before you answer. I say that because I know it would be easy to pull the race card and call foul. And yes, I think the whole notion of him having to prove himself to be racist.
But aside from that or the motivation. What if it were true that he wasn't a natural born citizen? Would he lose some credibility with you? Could you honestly say that he was irresponsible in his efforts to become president by hiding that fact, and took your(s) and the public trust for granted? Or would you just chalk it up to the same old racism as usual, and in doing so, give him a pass?
What if...

for it me it wouldn't matter a bit. I think he's the best man for the job right now and that's the part that matters to me.
The claims are lame as hell. I just see it as people showing their true colors really.
I'd say he was a liar from day one and should be prosecuted for attempting to usurp the office of President if we find out he lied about his citizenship. I don't care if he is rosy red,gracious green or the mutt color he claims to be- the laws of the Consitution and Common Law say how you have to be qualified and if he is not he should graciously step aside and let ????? take his place. That is the big dilemma.
Ask the same people, who would deny Obama, about the proposed changes in the Constitution that would allow Bobby Jindahl or Arnold to run for POTUS.

If he lied, he would lose some credibility with me. How could he dare run for president and know he wasn't a US citizen. But that doesn't mean that I don't think that racism is not part of the issue. If there weren't so many racists people then the lie wouldn't have been discovered. The issues are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
