Answer Man: Luke Scott talks Nugent, hunting and Obama origin
« on: December 08, 2010, 06:37:32 PM »
Baltimore Orioles slugger Luke Scott(notes) stopped by baseball's winter meetings Tuesday and, after some harmless chatter about his team's offseason dealings, stated with conviction that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

Oh, yes, he did. Scott's opinion about the president's birthplace — while certainly not unique — was a stunning climax to a friendly and frank 20-minute Answer Man session that spanned his enthusiasm for baseball, hunting, firearms, personal responsibility and smaller government.

"[Obama] was not born here," Scott asserted to Answer Man in the session's last segment. "That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything." [/i

I found that article enthralling.  Usually those baseball articles are boring.  I like when he talks about hunting and when he trashes socialism and obama.

"We all have the right of freedom of speech under the First Amendment. We all don't have to agree with one another on our opinions," Scott told The Sun on Wednesday. "Everyone in my circle, that I run around with, we all feel the same about God, country, integrity and character."

Luke is not helping the President! This is great!
