    Obama is loosing the ‘trust and respect’ of the American people because he has refused to release his ‘vault birth certificate’!

    NJ Dem said:

    “Once the trust & respect began to go it was hard to get it back especially as the total record of choosing ideology over competency was becoming clear.”

    Obama was chosen because of ‘ideology’ and not because of competence because Obama has no record on anything, so his ‘competency’ was not the base for his choosing.

    Obama is loosing the ‘trust and respect’ of the American people because he has refused to release his ‘vault birth certificate’!
