Re: Obama - yet again - proves himself NOT to be US-born...
Tuna, do you even read threads written by anyone other than yourself?
We've already been here, done this.

2 possibilities he is really cosmically stupid, or he is a congenital liar, which has a lot to do with being president.

Not knowing something and not saying something are two different things.
Sounds like he knows enough - and is smart enough to know when to keep his mouth shut, too.
They hang out at each other's homes. Shoot hoops at the local health club. Barbecue in the backyards. Vacation together. Even go trick-or-treating on Halloween.
Barack Obama may have moved out of the Hyde Park-Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago to the White House of Washington, D.C., but to the Chicago White Sox, he will always be one of them.
"I not only have to answer to (chairman) Jerry Reinsdorf and our fans," White Sox general manager Kenny Williams says, "but answer to the president of the United States. If we don't win, I know I'm going to have him on (me), too."
President Obama is no casual White Sox fan. He wears his black-and-white cap with "Sox" across the top until it is tattered and stained with perspiration, prompting Reinsdorf to have new caps delivered to him. He watches their games, tells the White Sox he pores over their box scores, calls former slugger Harold Baines his all-time favorite player and takes jabs at the rival Cubs like a good South Sider should.
