Hey Birthers, Obama a natural born citizen even if born in Kenya

Obama in Kenya with his grandmother

This article is written with the purpose to put an end to the controversy surrounding the birthplace of President Barack Obama, and to render the so-called “Birthers” moot.  Moot, not because he is already President but rather because his birthplace is of no concern as far as the Constitution and laws of this Nation would have it. Upon reading the complete article an honest assessment of the facts would render President Obama a natural born citizen and entitle him to the full participation in the political process. Yet as sure as the sun will rise in the morning there will be doubters – after all Jesus Christ did not convince all he was the Son of Man.

But as I lost interest in the story, I abandoned the post – and with it, my analysis of ‘the wives’ – the dutiful yet humiliated women who frequently stand by the side of the politician or preacher who engaged in risky and inappropriate sexual activity. And as Herman Cain suspended his presidential campaign amidst allegations of sexual harassment and a 13 year affair, many wonder if Gloria Cain will stay in the marriage or file for divorce. The answer may be predictable if we use the wives of previously disgraced public figures as a guide.

Herman “candy” Cain

Cain

Coverage of the sexual harassment allegations against Republican presidential contender, Herman Cain, has been dominating the news. Cain, who was accused of sexual harassment when he headed the National Restaurant Association, first denied knowing about the allegations, and then he admitted knowing about the allegations, but denied knowing about the settlement.  Then he admitted knowing about settlement, etc. etc. etc. 

Cain has had a problem sticking to a story.  We all remember his inconsistent statements on the abortion issue.  And as the news of a third woman with yet another allegation of sexual harassment against Cain broke today, the old adage – where there’s smoke there is fire comes to mind.
