   I’m a Canadian but the bottom line is those that blindly accept Barack Obama’s word that he was born in Hawaii rather than find his behaviour terribly suspicious in legally blocking out all documents [birth certificate, passport(s), post-secondary records (including student loan records), etc] that can easily prove his identity; Obama supporters have the same sort of mindset as those people who have been suckers in scams!

   The so-called ‘investors’ that were so blinded to Bernard Madoff’s charm and reputation, put ALL their money with him! A normal investor (including myself) diversifies and is very sceptical of even so-called ‘Blue Chip’ companies because many of these companies’ books have been audited in collusion with very prestigious accounting firms that have helped ‘cook the books’! I don’t take on face value what is printed on any company’s glossy printed annual statements, I invest for the long run but I can only do so by moving my investment dollars around and not sitting on a few companies for years on end. The suckers involved in the Madoff  Ponzi scheme invested ALL their money with him based on trust!

   The same goes for all these people who ‘on trust’ believe Barack Obama by his word. This group of people all think alike, they have such blind loyalty to this man that even among the normal warning signs (i.e. legally blocking all person documents that can easily clear up his identity) that most people would clue in to, these Obama groupies refuse to see these warning signs! It’s the same mindset as being a member of a cult, where non-cult members can easily spot the bizarre behaviour of ‘the leader’; cult members become blinded to a fault. Cult members will even lash out at non-cult members and make justifications for all the criticism being aimed at their leader!

   That’s what I find disturbing, Obama groupies all are of a similar mindset, just as those who get suckered into money scams all have similar behavioural traits and cult member are conditioned to think alike; those who favour Obama blindly without questioning (the red flag warning areas such as why Obama is going to such lengths to legally block his identity) him are unfortunately gullible to a fault! And to go to such lengths as to make sport of those who have a healthy scepticism of Obama is downright frightening!

   And that’s my point! Finally, let me make an analogy between people like me and Obama groupies; let’s say we’re playing high stakes poker with Obama. It’s the final hand, everyone is all in and we all show our cards. Then Obama says that his hand beats everyone and he begins to claim the pot. People like you would believe him and you would allow him to take all your money, while people like me would demand that Obama show his hand first! You people have allowed Obama to literally take the ultimate pot, which is to become President of the United States by taking his word. To people such as myself (and I’m glad I’m not an American because of this situation), I see that Obama is literally not showing his hand (his cards are represented by all these personal documents through his lifetime which anyone of them could prove his identity) and I see him bluffing.

   You’re being suckered by a con man!
