MIT PROFESSOR ASKS ANOTHER WRONG POLL QUESTION ABOUT OBAMA’S ELIGIBILITY

Excerpt:
"NEW YORK, NY – MIT Political Science Professor, Dr. Adam Berinsky, says he has been tracking beliefs about Barack Obama’s citizenship for some time.
From this, we will venture that he must be tracking those beliefs in concert with his vigorous interest to determine if Obama is eligible to be president. Strangely, however, he does not say if this is his objective. Perhaps he is just interested in Obama’s geographic origins, benignly and ignorantly. Who knows?
Berinsky’s bio says, “...he is a specialist in the fields of political behavior and public opinion.” However, in his efforts to plumb the depths of his version of the truth in this matter, Berinsky plots the results of a recent survey in which 1000 Americans are asked the absolute “wrongest” possible question about Obama’s eligibility to be president. In true or false format, he asks respondents if they believe if Barack Obama was born in the U.S.
The question, “Was Barack Obama born in the U.S.?” is not the right question. In fact, there are two far more important, relevant and desperately unanswered questions which must be answered first.
First, “Is Barack Obama a natural-born citizen?” is the most important question. After all, isn't this the preeminent question our Constitution actually asks about the eligibility of our presidential candidates. Article II echoes the patriotic absolution to those seeking the most powerful office...born after our bloody revolution against tyranny, "Are you a Natural Born citizen?"
For all his MIT-ness and lauded grey matter, Berinsky seems to lack the intellectual depth to see the sardonic association between the metrics of natural born citizenship and the minor affiliation of one’s geographic natal origin to it.
Sadly, by example of Berinky’s survey, American pedagogues and media have failed in their duty to reach a reasonable version of inquiry into this matter.
Second, and far more legal-worthy, the question, “Is the digitally manufactured .pdf image of Obama’s alleged 1961 Certificate of Live Birth posted by Obama operatives to his own official White House website, two full days after the State of Hawaii allegedly issued two paper copies of the, ‘as yet unseen by anyone outside of Obama’s pod’ documents…an authentic representation of the facts surrounding Obama’s birth?” is a far more important question to waste 1000 northeasterners’ time with.
If the answer to those far more important questions by all of Berinsky’s 1000 is anything other than “False”, the future of MIT, and America, is in serious peril.
Instead of seeking a deeper realization about the danger Obama’s biographical obscurity and likely ineligibility poses against our constitutional sovereignty, not to mention the offense of an ineligible president against the blood ransom paid by those far worthier than all of us for 250 years, Berinsky was content to surmise that “birtherism” is a problem of “republicanism”. Ah, yes. The “party affiliation” excuse for liberal lechery and moral inferiority."
