I hope people follow that link and read the incredibly ignorant comments below the article. Seriously what rock did these people climb out from under. Everything to Obama is receiving contributions from Mosques in other countries to being part of the Syrian Mafia, to him not being a natural born citizen. The article and the comments are asinine.

Can you expand on what you see as problematic with the article?

Thanks,
