Rick Moran is correct in this article, that paranoia can run through all ideologies. And some of the rightwing paranoia about Obama is just that, paranoia. Moran's example is Obama's birth certificate and his non-release of it is an excellent case in point.
On one hand, it is weird that the original birth certificate was not released. On the other hand, it doesn't really matter if he was born in Kenya - his mother was American and that gives him American "natural born" American citizenship.
What has always bothered me was the refusal to release his college records. It is traditional for presidential candidates to do so, and everyone in the race did except Obama. Why? If you have nothing to hide, then why not just shut everyone up by releasing the records?
One of the rumors is that for Obama to attend a Madrassa while living in Indonesia, he had to renounce his American citizenship (this was when he lived there with his mother and step-father). If his stepfather did that on his behalf so Obama could go to school does that count against Obama since he was a minor at the time? And if Obama did have Indonesian citizenship as a minor, did he use that to get foreign student aid to Harvard and Columbia and is that why he asked them not to release the records?
More importantly, have I been reading too many of these articles? That's the only question I can really answer - which is probably.
Michelle Malkin covers similar ground in this article here.
Seems to be a theme today, this being St. Nicholas day and everyone knows that's a conspiracy to make Santa angry.
