Boy, There's a Lot of Smoke

Boy, There's a Lot of Smoke

Where's there's smoke, there's fire, the saying goes. Well, sometimes there is just smoke. So what should I make of this Ghanian newspaper account of President Obama's visit? From the July 9, 2009 Modern Ghana:

For Ghana, Obama's visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American President on this presidential visit to the continent of his birth. [emphasis added]

I had no idea that Hawai'i was in Africa!

And the U.S. Army Reserve major who challenged his orders to Afghanistan on the grounds that Obama wasn't born here, and therefore, isn't lawfully president? According to the always somewhat questionable July 14, 2009 WorldNetDaily;

A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan within days has had his military orders revoked after arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.

His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed to WND the military has rescinded his impending deployment orders.
