Obama's eligibility to be president in question

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear evidence that President Barak Obama's American citizenship is in question, which puts his eligibility to be president on shaky ground. Kind of begs the question. What else is he hiding?

Normally I'm not a news hound (unless it has to do with film) but a friend of mine who is very astute on political matters sent this to me yesterday. This is very juicy stuff and you won't find your local news channel carrying the coverage.

Remember this viral video from last year? Hard not to like the guy.



Is everyone too busy worrying about Michael Jackson's embattled estate and impending memorial to give this story the attention it deserves? Or are there gatekeepers in place exercising their power over the mainstream media? We'll see how long it takes for this to surface on the networks. Personally, I'm not holding my breath.

All this information is in public domain (or it soon will be thanks to the Freedom of Information Act) so here's a meaty conspiracy theory for all you scribes out there. It's going to be hard to put a pretty spin on this one.
