A Balanced View of the "Birther" Debate

We have been blessed in that whenever there has been a crisis, God has provided the US with somone who has guided us through that crisis.
I hope that God's blessing continues.
That's my view.
Those who don't believe this would say that the American people have a knack for selecting the right person in a crisis.

Or it could be that the average ordinary guy who happens to be in charge at the time finds some sort of strength to rise above his ordinary circumstances and leads with vision.

Plus, it is rather helpful for us that we have selective memories. For example, Lincoln's suppression of civil rights and taking control of the newspapers of his time ("the media") is something that would start a civil war today.

Perhaps that is why so many Americans wonder about the birth certificate – they hope against hope that President Obama is a symptom of a foreign ill rather than a domestic one. No matter whether Jerome Corsi comes up with evidence of Obama’s foreign birth, however – it is clear that the problem of Obama-esque un-Americanism is now endemic to American culture herself. We have an ideological problem in our midst, and no amount of digging in Kenya and Indonesia is going to solve a problem that now starts right here."
