We know where Jesus was born, to whom, and more or less when. Were
Jesus politically minded, it would not have been hard to establish his
status as a citizen of Roman Judaea or to confirm it 2,000 years after
his birth. (To be sure, the “natural born” part might prove a little
tricky.)
No such luck with our president, Barack Obama. The most visible man in the world’s most transparent society remains as much an enigma as he was four years ago. If the faithless in the media and academia investigate Jesus, only the faithful in those same quarters have been allowed to investigate Obama. Were there an “Obama Seminar,” its members would be booted from every faculty lounge and newsroom in America, FOX News included.
In April 2011, Obama famously told us what we were allowed to know about his origins. Said he, “Every news outlet that has investigated this, confirm that, yes, in fact, I was born in Hawaii, August 4, 1961, in Kapiolani Hospital.”
This, however, was inaccurate on two counts. For one, up until January 2009, the Obama-friendly websites, including Snopes and Obama’s own campaign website, had been listing Honolulu’s Queens Hospital as the site of his birth. For another, the reporters who had been doing real research — including at least one from the Boston Globe and another from the New York Times – had failed to confirm any of the story.
