Never said that and I'm white Kaykohl. I'm disgusted with the blatant insulting demeaning behavior. Like the email of Obama as a monkey that went from one political aide to another office. This is the leader of our country, not just some fool for the good ole boys and girls to snicker at. I don't want to make Obama the topic here because it shouldn't be so I apologize because this is an important discussion subject. I respect everyone's right to like or dislike our president and it should be based on his policies and leadership which I'm sure most agree with.

My husband voted for Obama, campaigned for Obama and is still an Obama supporter. He was mad when people were saying that the BC was fake until he downloaded it and was able to layer it just like people were saying. My hubby tried to layer his own BC to prove a point. You can't layer a real BC. It's fake folks, my husband knows it and he is still an Obama supporter.

I really tried to stay away from this, but I can't stand it anymore. Please name me one other presidential candidate that has undergone the "citizenship" scrutiny as extensively as Obama. And why? Because his father was from Africa. And who lives in Africa? Black People. The idea that somebody 50 years ago knew that their child was going to run for President, so let's put a fake birth announcement in the newspaper and register a fake birth certificate, etc is beyond any conspiracy theory that Oliver Stone could ever come up with.

Anyone can send a birth notice to the papers. That's how my birth was announced. My parents sent it in, it wasn't done automatically. If you wanted it in the papers you had to send it in. They were proud of their son and wanted it announced, of course they had no idea he'd be president. Still doesn't prove anything. I could have been born in Kansas and if my parents sent my announcement into Okla they would have printed it.

President Obama's mother was born in Kansas. That alone makes him a citizen no matter where he was born, so there would not even be a need to fake a birth certificate. The whole 'birther' thing is just nonsense.

Keldogg hurray! Couldn't have said it better. The ones making the noise over his BC are the ones that have trouble accepting a black man as the President. Kay......... I am not accusing your husband! Know that, I am saying most. My opinion only.

Oh, and John McCain was born in Panama. Funny how no one seems to question his citizenship.

Fox News is no friend of Obama's, yet even they have an expert who pointed out that this layering thing has no legs. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/04/29/expert-says-obamas-birth-certificate-legit/

John McCain was questioned and Obama was on the committee. Which actually started the whole Obama BC questions. Who believes Fox or CNN, especially what's his name, the one with the big ego. Not Glen Beck the other one with the big ego? Agenda much.

This can be a heated discussion but we all have our opinions. I am getting out of this I have had problems with people who were black so you can see this is a hard subject for me and they pick on me for no reason it was during High School so it a trust issue for me.

Other topics have been discussed at great length on this Big Brother board so this topic IMO is as deserving as any other. It's an off topic and its title tells you that before you click it's very clear and not misleading.

Kep, ITA great post! Pippin, I grew up calling the colorful sprinkles jimmies, never knew it was offensive. I don't understand either. I grew up in the North but have spent the last 10 years living in the South and I have to say it's been a real eye opening experience. Growing up we occationally used the term uppity to describe someone who thought they were above or better than everyone else. Recently I was on a message board and the word uppity was said. That person was called a racist for using that word because it was derogatory towards African Americans. I was shocked because I had never heard that before. Where I grew up the word had nothing to do with color.

Maine I am southern born and bred. Tennessee, Georgia and now NC. Never have heard the word uppity as being derogatory. We used the term uppity to describe someone who was snobbish. Same with jimmies. Growing up in the south was bitter sweet. Lots of precious memories and many bad ones because of the times. There was racism and there was good. It is very hard to describe. I read the book, THE HELP and it very much reminded me of growing up. It is an excellent read for any who enjoy reading.

John McCain was born on a Unites States owned military installation in the Canal Zone. He was born to a Naval officer and then served himself in the US military. His parents had no choice but to live temporarily outside the US. I would hope he wouldn't have been denied the position of President.

I am very proud to say that my father marched with Dr. King. He paid a high price for it socially within our little community but he did the right thing.

Oliviamimi, see it shows that words are just words without the hate. I've come to really appreciate the South for many things but in my heart I'm a true Yankee.LOL A couple of friends highly recommended a book to read called Same Kind of Defferent as Me. I bought it but haven't started it yet.

Maine, yes I was aware of that, but just thought it odd that it wasn't questioned at all. Yet we have a person who was actually born in the United States questioned, and proves he was born here, and some people will not believe it. I can only think of one reason why. And with that....I'm out of this subject too.
