News Flash: Obama's Freedom Paper's are Legit

Now that President Obama has presented his "freedom papers," can we get to solving some of the issues of this country? I find it appalling that this has even become an issue. If someone can provide false documentation and ascertain the position of President of the United States, then are we really a super power?

My wife's friend was recently told by her employer that she had a week to leave the country because her VISA was attached to the job, and the job was coming to an end. America denies VISAs to any one that is HIV positive (how they determine this in the process without becoming moderately evasive eludes me). Arizona's "Show Me Your Paper's" Act of 2010 has been amended to a degree, yet still enforced.

Back to the topic at hand, this would not have been an issue if Barack Obama was born Barrett O'Bama, born to a single white mother and raised by his grandparents. Whatever happened to George W.'s military record; didn't that issue disappear during debates; even though it wasn't completely resolved. Wasn't the birth certificate "issue" resolved about four years ago? That's right, this country doesn't get that resolution should have some finality to it.

Now to solving problems...there's unemployment, healthcare, two wars, and the budget. I choose to highlight the budget. The Tea Party and Republican have taken an initiative started by Nancy Reagan as their position to any Democratic budget proposal; "Just Say No" was a bad way to solve the drug problem that plagued the inner cities of our country, but proves to be a great political strategy in matters of the budget. "Just Say No" has always been a very simple approach to a very complex problem. Now it is the very simple approach that adds even more complexities to a problem that will not solve itself. Congress has gotten by for decades without addressing real issues...unless you count steroids in baseball. What part about, jobs create tax revenue goes over the heads of politicians? Oh yeah, no matter what is proposed, "Just Say No."

Sort of like President Obama's "freedom papers," now we have to check them for integrity. Yes they have the official seal of Hawaii, but we want to add a little redundancy by also requiring that it be notarized. Mr. President, you better make sure all the license plates in your motorcade are up to date before you hit the campaign trail in Arizona...or you will be the first President ever deported.
