Yes, there are. This isn't one of them. Treason is a legal crime, defined by Article III of the Constitution as:

consist[ing] only in levying war against the [United States], or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. By the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

Bobert, a first looie is almost always someone with a college degree and REALLY should know better anyway.

Obama's birth was also announced in a 1961 issue of the Honolulu "Advertiser". That would be nearly impossible to fake -- you have to get to the microfilm records of the newspaper, which are held in MANY libraries around the WORLD and change those, for one thing.

These people should get some reality.
