AWOL Airman Blames Obama

Nebraska Red · August 16, 2011

An Air Force staff sergeant from Omaha is rapidly becoming a cause célèbre in the so-called birther movement because he's gone AWOL and repeatedly claimed that President Barack Obama isn't an American.

I particularly like this section.

Obama's birth certificate has been verified by a nonpartisan group that examined it in person in 2008 and declared that it met all U.S. State Department criteria for citizenship.

The director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, a Republican appointee, twice inspected the birth certificate and declared it real.

Hawaiian officials pointed to two Hawaii newspapers that carried an announcement of Barack Obama's birth as additional evidence.

"Of course, it's distantly possible that Obama's grandparents may have planted the announcement just in case their grandson needed to prove his U.S. citizenship in order to run for president someday," said a statement from Factcheck.org, the nonpartisan group allowed to inspect the birth certificate. "Those who choose to go down that path should first equip themselves with a high-quality tinfoil hat."

This story reads like a lame excuse for someone who cannot cut it at the job he chose.
