The Baltimore Orioles designated hitter, Luke Scott recently made a comment that “Obama was not born here [United States],” when asked what he thought about President Barack Obama.                                             The baseball organization is distancing themselves from Scott and his comments made.

     Scott said, “Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for…He was not born here. If someone accuses me…I can go and pick up my real birth certificate. He [Obama] doesn’t answer anything. And why? Because he’s hiding something.” Scott has made all these factual statements and has no way of proving it. He is considered to be a “birther,” a person who doesn’t believe that Obama is a U.S. citizen.

     This is what has brought people to arguments, the fact that Scott is unable to back up his comments with actual information. Obama was in fact born in the United States, because of the fact that he was born on American soil in Hawaii. The citizenship of Obama’s parents has no effect on his own citizenship.

     Fans and existing members of the Baltimore Orioles are skeptical of how the season is going to start out with the recent issues.
