In a recent meeting with constituents, Alabama Senator Richard Shelby gave the impression that he believes President Obama may not be an American citizen.
According to The Cullman Times:
Another local resident asked Shelby if there was any truth to a rumor that appeared during the presidential campaign concerning Obama's U.S. citizenship, or lack thereof.
"Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate," Shelby said. "You have to be born in America to be president."
According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked health department records during the campaign and determined there was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.
I thought this smear had been effectively thwarted during the campaign. Obama's website, FightTheSmears.com actually posted the President's birth certificate to prove that our President is in fact, an American citizen.
Senator Shelby claims that he has never seen Obama's birth certificate. Maybe he should use "the Google" to find it. Or he can just check it out here.
