About that photo of Obama at the G8 Summit...

The "internets" is all abuzz over a photo that is being heavily promoted and talked about concerning President Obama supposedly gawking over the backside of a young woman at the G8 Summit.

Case in point is coverage from the Fox News Channel, Fox Nation and the Drudge Report. There has been a lot of website nattering over the photo, even after Fox News reporter Greta Van Susteren exposed it as a "misleading" photo.

Obama is simply pausing to let another woman walk down the stairs. You can see the whole video here, showing that is was French President Nicholas Sarkozy doing the leering.



Even the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post had to backtrack after it was exposed that the photo was misleading.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you have nothing to say, stop banging the table.

Obama's Birth Certificate and Supposed Kenyan Citizenship

The right-wingers on talk radio are still spreading the outright and blatant lies that Barack Obama's birth certificate can't be located and there's no "proof" that he's a US citizen by birth, and that he's secretly a Kenyan citizen.

Yes, you read right, I said "outright and blatant lies".

Click this link to read Barack Obama's birth certificate.

He was born on 4 August 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. As Bruce Springsteen sang, "Born in the U.S.A.".

As for his alleged Kenyan citizenship, FactCheck.org did some research and found out that Barack Jr's Kenyan citizenship through his father was valid only until his 21st birthday. Since he didn't swear an oath or alliegiance to Kenya or renounce his USA citizenship, his status of dual citzienship expired on his 21st birthday.

Barack Obama Jr. is, and remains, a native-born citizen of the United States of America.

So there.
