Obama Did Not Touch First Base
The Constitution says that he must touch first base.
The Rule of Law must be followed. Even in the game of baseball you must touch first base.
The batter hits the ball hard out into the field. He runs to first base while the ball strikes the top of the fence and falls to the ground just inside the park. The ball is fumbled, retrieved, and thrown to third base too late. The ball is fumbled again then hurled toward home plate. Before the ball can make it to home plate, the new star of baseball slides in for a home run. The crowd goes into wild cheers of celebration as everyone declares, "IT'S A HOME RUN!". That is, everyone but the first baseman. Above the jubilant, giddy squeals of the crowd, he shouts to the first base umpire, "HE NEVER TOUCHED FIRST!".
The first baseman yells to the pitcher, "Throw me the ball!". The pitcher, almost casually, throws the ball to first base. The umpire must, by rules of the game, declare, "HE IS OUT!".
All the crowd witnessed a home run. But the umpire, hemmed in by truth, knew the video cameras had recorded fact: THE RUNNER HAD NOT TOUCHED FIRST BASE.
The Constitution of the United States of America is clear, crystal clear: first base for President of the United States of America is to be a natural born citizen. If the cameras prove without question that Obama touched first base, it is a home run. If he did not touch first base, he is out. Let us review the evidence with an open mind just to make sure home plate is not stolen.
