Re: I forgot about Snopes
Faith writes: The silence followed by the "correction" is what seems to me to be the indication that she or someone realized saying she was present when he was born was not the "right" answer, not because it wasn't true but because it was politically incorrect.
Or maybe it was just the right answer. People make mistakes and correct themselves every day.

Re: I forgot about Snopes
Faith writes: Gosh, couldn't it be that I have no interest in being bashed incessantly by Leftists? Not that there's any way to escape it of course no matter what I say or don't say.
There's a very easy escape: When you don't know what you're talking about, don't post.

You get hounded about the stupid things you post. If you didn't post them, you wouldn't be hounded.

Happens every day. The prononuns "he", "him" and "his" make it easy to confuse one male with another. And they're both named "Barack". It's ridiculous to pretend that the lady's words could not have been momentarily confused and later clarified. She did clarify, after all.

Woulda coulda shoulda. You're just speculating. You're trying to make a liar out of an old lady and you're hallucinating a conspiracy to force her to lie. Your position is ridiculous.

You seem to forget that Putin is Trump's boyfriend.

Re: I forgot about Snopes
Ted Cruz was born in Canada, not in the US. He freely admits this. One of his parents was an American citizen, so that made Ted Cruz an American citizen. Ted Cruz ran for the presidential nomination in the Republican party, and no one batted an eye.
I wonder what the reaction would have been if he had been born in Mexico.
