Regarding the letter Sept. 26 from Martha Dudley titled “Media should check Obama’s birth certificate,” the media already has done so.

Sen. Obama certainly was not born in Kenya, although his father was. The senator was born Aug. 4, 1961 at the Kapolei Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.

May I suggest that she look at the photo essay in Newsweek magazine, Sept. 1 on page 38?

She might also be interested in reading the Time magazine special issue: “The Democrats,” Sept. 1. Pages 46 and 47 state, “With roots in Karma, Kenya and beyond, the candidate is a genealogist’s fantasy.” The senator’s mother, by the way, was born in Kabul.

The American media, for all its faults, is not so incompetent as Ms. Dudley suggests.

My name is Heather & I am 34 years old.
I have three children, a husband, a mortgage and a bankruptcy.
I struggle weekly to pay necessities and do not have health coverage at this time.
Last year we earned over $75,000.  This year we will earn less than $40,000.
My mortgage is considered one of the “bad” ones.  It fluctuates.  It has gone from $650 a month to over $850 a month.
I don’t have credit cards.  I will soon be learning how to plant and tend a garden, as well as can & freeze vegetables to feed my family.
Sometimes I have to write checks for prescriptions for my children, that I know will not clear my bank, in hope, the bank will pay it until I get the money to cover it.
I am not a racist.  All Civil rights are important to me.  Hate crimes of any type are unacceptable.
The Weathermen Underground performed hate crimes touted as civil unrest and discontentment. 
Rev. Wright performs hate crimes against his own congregation by preaching hate and intollerance from the pulpit.
I am not voting for John McCain.
I am voting against Barack Obama because his history is showing a clear tollerance for communism and socialism as well as division between race and class.
Obama, McCain & Biden were wrong on the bailout.
I speak for thousands when I say, enough is enough.
Neither candidate has proven they have a grasp on my life.  I do not trust the world Obama would leave for my children.
One of my favorite quotes is “One day, my four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.“
I ask you today, to judge Senator Barack Obama by the content of his character and do not subscribe to the seperatist views he has claimed in his book “Dreams of my Father.“
I ask you today to consider the world where the United States ideals are transformed into a socilistic and radical extremist society.
The United States we hold dear is on the verge of becoming unrecognizable. 
I ask you to vote Against Barack Obama and carry our voice to Washington. 
We love our country, we will defend this country from all forms of tyrany, both from abroad and those who choose to bury us from within.

I really can’t wait until this election is over. This country needs to accept people for who they are. The problem with this country is that 80% of the people are hiding what they truly feel. If the next President is black or white or mixed, we as a nation is on a long road to recovery.

Hey, dont forget to look under all the rocks….especially under Mc Cains rocks on his romance with Cindy and the dumping of Carol his wife crippled in a car accident.
But, hey, when a young blond with mega buck’s comes along, Mc Cain the opportunist has no choice.

There has been plenty of fact finding done.  The reasons this issue is real is not only did Obama post this “fake” certificate on his site, but also that Factcheck.org said they “physically held the original”.  It’s very odd that all he has to do is submit to a courth is “vault version” of his birth certificate and the case would be dropped, however, instead of doing that, he’s hired a lawyer who has tried twice to delay & dismiss the accusations, instead of just producing the document.  Factcheck.org is a part of the Annenburg foundation, which Obama worked for & with for several years and also supported with financial contributions.  Fishy to say the least.

You people are amazing. If you have questions about a candidate do not wait till you get spoon-feed. Go out, research, and look for yourself. Do not cry because the candidate has not answer the questions, the answers are out there so get of your couch and work at it.

Of course knowing the media has checked it out is a relief (sarcasm noted).  It helps with the “I will believe it no matter what proof is put in my face” syndrom.

Actually, I am a Dem voting for McCain - can’t claim “following party lines” with me.  I wanted to vote Dem this year, but can not because too many questions on his intent & connections are unanswered by Obama. 

Not just the silly Birth certificate thing.  It saddens me that he is not who he appears to be, and refuses to answer questions on it stating “Swift boating” or Smearing.  It is truth, truth that needs to be answered.  He doesn’t appologize or explain anything - he just “brushes it off”. 

I do not have hope for the future he invisions for America.

Actually some guy from the state of Hawaii spoke ont he authenticity of the certificate Obama posted.  Of course any one who would veer fromt he truth the right wing lunatics want to believe must be questioned.  It looks like the majority is going to pick the wrong guy.  Kind of like what heppened with W…once.
