McCain Lawyers Investigated Obama Citizenship
As we asked earlier this week, if questions over President Obama's citizenship were valid, wouldn't they have come out during the presidential campaign?

David Weigel talked with Trevor Potter and other lawyers for Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign who said that they did look into the Obama citizenship rumors and found them without merit.

Said Potter: "To the extent that we could, we looked into the substantive side of these allegations. We never saw any evidence that then-Senator Obama had been born outside of the United States. We saw rumors, but nothing that could be sourced to evidence. There were no statements and no documents that suggested he was born somewhere else. On the other side, there was proof that he was born in Hawaii. There was a certificate issued by the state's Department of Health, and the responsible official in the state saying that he had personally seen the original certificate. There was a birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser, which would be very difficult to invent or plant 47 years in advance."

Remember, they did this to dig up as much dirt as possible so they could beat Obama in the election. Don't you think that if Obama weren't a citizen, it would have been used a long time ago?

the announcement in the papers could have taken place in hawaii since maybe while in kenya where he was born, they still had friends in hawaii and wanted them to know

Maybe?

it is funny that it did take ten days to get in the papers.
i seem to recall notes in a small town paper in Oklahoma that birth announcements there never were over a week old

For my children's birthdays I ordered over the internet a copy of the local newspaper from the day they were born so they could see the news headlines on the date of their birth. Also inserted was whatever you wanted to have written about your child; which could have been a birth announcement.

So in this day and time, it is possible to fabricate anything. Many in Congress do it every day !!

What keeps this story alive is the man appears to have something to hide. His refusal to release certain college documents would make one think his applications state he is a foreign student.
