John,
You had a guest saying the only reason they're questioning Obama's citizenship is because he's black. Your get said that was the ONLY variable compared to other presidents. I TOTALLY disagree! Barack Obama is a decidely Muslim name, his father was from Kenya, he spent a number of years during his youth living in Indonesia. These are all big variables and have NOTHING to do with race.
I guarantee if his name was Tyron Green, was raised in Ohio and had a father that was an American citizen, there wouldn't be any question about his citizenship. Doesn't matter if he's black or white...republican just don't like him.
