Do you honestly expect doctors who deliver hundreds or thousands of babies to remember the first and last name of every baby they ever deliver for 50+ years?
Obama's a terrible president, don't get me wrong. But some people just can't let this birther issue go.
Actually wouldn't you expect them to remember? Assuming his father was there at birth that would mean a very white woman and a very black man, which in that time period would be something of an oddity.
I would maybe expect them to maybe remember that, but not all of the details (his specific name).
I'll agree with that, but I would think that maybe they could put 2 and 2 together and realize that it probably was Obama.
Maybe, but now we're getting into speculation. As I said earlier in the thread I am NOT an Obama supporter. It's just accepting A LOT of assumption:
-Expecting those people to still be alive. If they were 30 at the time...they would be 83 today.
-Expecting someone who when they delivered a baby 53 years ago to remember the baby's name, in case that baby happened to become the president. Again they might be like "remember that time when a bi-racial was child was born? Wasn't that rare?"...but that at the most, I wouldn't expect them to remember every detail (which you agreed to).
-After all of that even IF they did realize it was Obama (which is certainly not impossible), the next step is to expect that person to open themselves to the public scrutiny that would come along with going public with that information
-The final assumption is the person is alive, remember, and is ok with going public...that they actually care enough to do so (I think that most Americans have become apathetic).
Like I said, I'm not Obama supporter and he's a TERRIBLE president, but that theory (the whoever gave birth to them to come out) just doesn't make much sense to me. I personally choose to focus on issues that are screwing up our country, and where he was born.
It is more of a mind candy discussion then really giving a crap. There is really little information about where he was born, if outside the US. So logically we must side with the information available and, in my opinion, it all points towards him being born in Hawaii. It is probably better that no one does steps forward, they would only be accused of being an Obama droid.
Which means he let the lie that he was born in Kenya stand for a very long time. Up unitl he realized it would get in his way running for President. I also believed he used the lie to get into college but again that is just speculation.
I put this list together a year or so ago, when hearing the same kind of crap.
There is no evidence that Barack Obama ever noticed that brochure being wrong- or having read the brochure- it was intended for a limited audience of potential book publishers- and in every other publication- including his own autobiography from 1995- he states he was born in Hawaii.
