You are the most irresponsible person I know. Obama is an American citizen. Hawaii is a state. Did you forget that? You are showing your racist tendencies.

Give me a break. If Obama was not eligible to be president, that would have been brought out long ago.

Give it a rest OLD MAN!!!!!!

Merle - I generally enjoy reading your comments and perspectives. And while I lean right (maybe not as far as you) and won't vote for Obama, I thought this post was a little too unbelieveable. You might want to check out the facts from Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/citizen.asp) for their take on the accuracy of the claims in your post.
