Summary: This article is discussing the latest 'issue' with President Obama's legitimacy as a president. After months of question about where he was born, the Obama administration has finally released a copy of his birth certificate which states that he was born in the state of Hawaii on August 4, 1961. The article goes on to discuss minor details of his birth such as which hospital and who his mother is. It is careful to state that no religion is written on the document, but that the President feels bad for the "sideshow" of this whole controversy.
This article is most definitely not journalism as it does nothing to edify the people or inform them of anything that is specifically important at this time. Sure, the issue of his legitimacy is still out there, but at this point, most do not care whether he is legitimate or not; they just want him out of the presidency. This "news", while it is great to hear (because otherwise Americans look dumber than they already do, as they elected a president who wasn't even born in the country), it is not journalism.
The Core Biblical Truth for this article is sin (the social studies one). It says,
"Mankind is totally depraved and his sinful nature is seen throughout history. Law and government were established to restrain this depravity in the governors as well as the governed."
This applies because this article addresses the potential of sin on behalf of the whole Obama administration. People have been accusing him of being of foreign birth, meaning they recognized the possibility of him lying to the American populace about his origins.
so... is it real?!
