What's the relevance of the Obama birth certificate controversy?
It is a constant reminder we know so little of this man because of what he has hidden -- and the lies he has told -- about himself.
OK, he was born in Hawaii, but what then?
Andrew McCarthy in a stunning essay demands that we know:
What is the true personal history of the man who has been sold to us based on nothing but his personal history? On that issue, Obama has demonstrated himself to be an unreliable source and, sadly, we can't trust the media to get to the bottom of it. What's wrong with saying, to a president who promised unprecedented "transparency": Give us all the raw data and we'll figure it out for ourselves?
Read it all. It's riveting stuff.
Tom Lipson calls the McCarthy piece "essential reading" and had this to say:
McCarthy then lays out the real issue: Obama's extraordinary secrecy, amounting to a scrubbing of his paper trail, combined with his demonstrated record of lying about his past. Obama is a phony, though and through. A former assistant US Attorney, McCarthy economically but methodically assembles the evidence, including sources, that Obama has presented a false story of his life. He lists a startling number of lies about his life story, with documentation.
And where was the media in all this as the lies were being told and left unexamined?
Even today, as Obama falsely describes legislation he supports or lies about what he has said on an issue in the past, the media lets him get away with it.
