(Scott, shown years ago before the Astros organization asked him to go sell crazy somewhere else)
Baltimore’s Luke Scott has already proven to be a reliable whipping boy fixture here at CSTB, be it for his expressions of faith or his dogged advocacy for the Second Amendment. All of that stuff is small potatoes, however, compared to the following exchange with Yahoo Sports’ Dave Brown, as part of the usually breezy “Answer Man” series.
DB: You don’t think that Obama wasn’t born in the United States, do you?
LS: He was not born here.
DB: [Sighs].
LS: That’s my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go ” within 10 minutes ” to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, “See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.” The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn’t answer anything. And why? Because he’s hiding something.
You know what? People who have bad intentions, people that are deceivers or are not of honor and integrity ” that’s how they act. I’ve seen it in every ” it doesn’t matter what level. It can be in politics, it can be in business, it can be in sports, it can be in the construction field. Doesn’t matter. It’s all the same attitude. It’s the same thing.
People who tell the truth, they’re very easy to … their actions prove it. Something as simple providing a birth certificate. Come on. If you’re born here, there’s plenty of documents. But you know what? There’s no documentation of him. No legal documentation of him. There’s been lie after lie after lie exposed, but people put it under the carpet. Hence, the problem we have in this country.
Luke Scott is spot on! It’s not that he refuses to allow Hawaii into the Union, I’m sure that he’s fine with the beautiful state of Hawaii! The truth is that BHO was born in Kenya, not Hawaii. Guess who handled every single lawsuit filed, questioning the citizenship of Obama? (There were over 100 of them!) None other than his most recent appointee to our esteemed Supreme Court of the United States of America, Sonia Sotomayor! How’s that for a payback? It’s a simple story of “keep me out of trouble and I’ll reward you down the line!” that is all too pervasive in ANY Government dealings these days. Washington breeds corruption and Mr. Obama is the latest and greatest offender! Way to go Luke! I wish more Americans could take the time to educate themselves rather than simply taking at face value what is being crammed down our throats!
Well said. It would be so simple to just lay out that birth certificate and end the controversy. If such a document existed in the first place.
Can Luke Scott read? He can talk, but can he read? He seems to be out of touch. His birth certificate from his drawer would not be accepted as proof in most situations. However, the State of Hawaii Legislators has verified our president’s very real and legal birth certificate. The United States Supreme Court backs that verification. I would say that Luke Scott is an idiot, but that may be a compliment.
thank you, Bruce, for including a photograph of yourself with that that trenchant analysis ;
bruce could you provide a link to support you opinions. i looked online and couldn’t find anything. i think your crazy but if you have facts then i’ll reconsider.
Romona – Your facts are not correct. They never certified anything. In fact, this was the FIRST, yes FIRST, presidential candidate that DID NOT have his candiacy and citizenship certified. Stop assuming you know facts and actually do research. Why does he refuse to answer questions. Why do no students at his university remeber him? Stop your blind following and start thinking…its amazing what happens when you use your brain.
“why do no students at his university rember him?” (sic)

Old friends and former teachers at the well-regarded 120-year-old school proudly described him as a serious scholar and a good athlete who helped the JV Tigers basketball team to an undefeated season.
Though some express surprise at his current prominence, classmates recall a slim, good-looking teen with a moderate Afro, a taste for Casa Bianca’s Hawaiian-style pizza (pineapple and ham) and a role in protesting college investments in firms doing business in South Africa during the apartheid era.”
How’s that for research, shit-for-brains?
There are still people who think that Obama’s birth certificate has not been disclosed? WTF?
Here’s a link to the non-partisan FactCheck.org:

Lew it def has been proven. George Bush didnt want any of his private info disclosed either. Hence the crappy grades that got leaked by one of his colleagues. Read a book sometime

Also hilarious: if any of the brave non-sheeple above had clicked the link to the Yahoo piece, they’d see that David Brown helpfully included an image of the non-phantom birth certificate. Rember (sic) to vote, everybody!
Bruce- more Americans should educate themselves particularly about the truth of their history.As Luke so accurately implies, many people have “bad intentions and deceive without honor or “integrity”.As a God fearing Christain American decedent from African Slaves who was born in Agana, Guam at the end of the Korean conflict (both parents born and bred in Indiana honorably served in Korea ) both you and Luke’s apparent hyper-sensitivity to nonWASP probably classify me as not a citizen.Be glad Obama is not a decedant of American slavery the deception&lack of integrity of YOUR FOREFATHERS could revisit you Cracker!
If someone doesn’t want to believe Obama was born in the US by now, no argument is going to convince them. They could be holding his birth certificate in their hands, and they would call it a forgery.
The best thing that can be said by someone claiming to be a birther is that they’ve easily identified themselves for us as a person on whom you shouldn’t waste your time.
Hey, if the birthers can get the Prez kicked out, good for them. But keep in mind that would make good ol’ Joe BFD Biden as the new Comm. in Chief. And if that’s acceptable to you, so be it.
BHO has never produced a BIRTH CERTIFICATE. His grandmother filed for and received a “Hawaiian Certificate of Birth Registration”. These can be applied for before 1st birthday by an immediate relative (grandmother) . They are commonly issued to foreign born children of American citizens.
wtg Lew; the stutterer should go back to Kenya with his hating wife. But remember its the ppl here who voted the Big Spender in…..now he is spending your SS money plus to help and pay back his cronies.
cheers for Luke Scott, although I think Obama may have been born in Hawaii,I agree with Luke’s overall assessment of what alousy president Obama is.
Luke is right on here. Those that have something to hide, do. And boy is Barry O hiding. Luke may be crazy to you liberals, but only because he believes in something you don’t, TELLING THE TRUTH. In this case, and every other time he opens his mount, face it Barry O is a lying sack of crap! Y’all be snookered by another snake oil saleswoman, Pelosi!
“the stutterer should go back to Kenya” – yeah, if that’s the best I could come up with, I wouldn’t sign my real name, either. They say the economy is in trouble, but when so many sub-literate, racist cretins can afford internet access, things can’t be all bad!
It seems to me that all Tea Baggers and Birthers are incapable of reading and/or writing proper American English. It is no wonder that they tend to be compelled by people who act and sound like Luke Scott.
Luke Scott is a poor excuse for a human; along the way cheapening terms such as honesty and honor. Obama doesn’t jive with Luke’s puerile/infantile/backwards view of the US. The type of fellow that has inane opinions based on terms designed to place into doubt the President’s loyalty and honesty. Terms such as Socialist (despite record corporate profits under his presidency) and Muslim (despite the President’s church attendance). So here’s to you Luke; a bit of a hack posing as a person with a worthwhile opinion.
It indicates Obama was born at 7:24 p.m. Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu. That should be no surprise, as it merely documents what Obama and his biographers have always said. But the document should put to rest groundless speculation raised on some conservative Web sites that Obama might not have been born in the U.S. and therefore might not qualify under the Constitution as a “natural-born citizen” to be president.
I VOTED FOR OBAMA, I THOUGHT HE WOULD B BETTER THAN THE AS3-HOLE McCAIN, BUT TURN’S OUT THAT HE IS THE DEVIL, OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL HIM, HE TELLS LIES AFTER LIES, NO BALLS . EVER-ONE WHO HE APPOINTED IS A DANGER TO OUR USA.. I AM VERY DIS-APPOINTED OF HIM AND HIS BULLSHI$..GUNNY FROM SoCAL.. MY FOLKS BACK IN ARKANSAS TOLD ME I WAS A FOOL TO VOTE FOR HIM…. THEY WERE RIGHT……..
ALL of you who beleive that crap are fools!! Dont you think that someone in the SS or CIA would have ratted him out by now??????? Our government ratted out one of its own CIA agents Valerie Plume, so why wont they do it to OBH???? Im sure its plenty of conservatives in CIA and SS so they could easily pull a wiki leak…lol FREAKIN IDIOTS…ALL OF YOU!
It saddens me that there are so many negative people that keep singing the same stupid tune, I’m sure that President Obama would not have been elected had he not been legal, I sick of people trying to tear him down, The United States has been in a mess for so many years then you have someone who is trying to make a change and people are so prejudice and narrow minded. We all need to come together to make things better.
Yo Gunny, lay off the Caps Lock….and the meth.
All this b.s about Obama really is very frightening. As far as him being a natural born american, Wake up and realize the facts!! As for the economy, it is in WAY better shape than before, i know what i am talking about I have a masters in economics with a bachelors in finance!. Obama has had the bad luck of being elected to office during the worst recession since the 1920’s!! does that mean anything to you haters?? he has also seen the worst disaster and honestly has been very effective at solving the matter, just imagine, after the way Bush handled Katrina (no national guard until after 4 days of the disaster!! seriously!!, kinda reminds you of the 7 minutes it took him to react to news about 9/11) would you have wanted him or any of his lackies (sic) be around during the spill?? everyone harps about the bailout, again Wake up and READ!! Bank of America is currently about to sell new shares and get out of the bailout, that means the U.S government is going to make a 12 BILLION dollar profit, for anyone who is confused, profit means getting back more money on top of what you have spent!! Do the math… No wonder the States is just average when it comes to education, its because of people like the ones on this comments page who are more concerned with keeping guns, maintaining that man did not evolve rather was created (give me a break!!), and finally back people like G.W and other conservatives like ‘scooter’ libby and disgraced former House majority leader Tom Delay, oh btw the man at the top of the republican party at the time, has been found GUILTY of fraud and money laundering, again is anyone is confused and/or illiterate, that the same stuff the MOB does ….. I rest my case !!
Holy crap, what happened to the neighborhood? The best thing about this piece is the transcribed [SIGH].
DW sighs.
