Jailed For Questioning Barack Obama

May 20, 2011 by Chip Wood

Some of the more emotional reunions I have ever witnessed occurred at airports. Few can match the joy of wives (and, sometimes, husbands) and children as they welcome a service member returning safely from overseas.

This past Saturday, such a reunion took place at Baltimore Washington International Airport. But in this case, the highly decorated veteran wasn’t returning from Iraq or Afghanistan. Instead, he had just been released from military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

Lt. Col. Terry Lakin had been sentenced to six months in jail and dismissed from the Army because he had the temerity to question whether Barack Obama was Constitutionally qualified to serve as President of the United States and, thus, as his Commander in Chief.

But this is not just another “Birtherâ€

Surely, Obama has the privalage of re-instating the fellow, since he is the President. He had the power to call a Beer Summit for his Buddy Gates, and the Cop from Virginia. This is a tragedy. The fellow served his time of punishment, and now lost everything for a simple question? That is low.
