right that hates Obama, but some on the left now have come to believe the worst

activities and cover-ups starting with his own identity.
He spells out his theory in a book called "The Manufacturing of a President." contending, "Obama's birth certificate has never been the issue. The real issue, which affects his eligibility to serve as President of the United States, is his past and likely current Indonesian citizenship.
