(Newser) – Orly Taitz isn’t the only influential foreign-born “birther” trying to prove that Barack Obama is himself foreign-born. Meet Neil Sankey, a former British detective and naturalized American citizen who is using his Scotland Yard skills to look for dirt on the president's origins. Taitz, for one, says he's been a huge help to the movement. "He has had superb training," she tells the Guardian. "I have the greatest respect for Scotland Yard."

Last year, Sankey contacted all 538 electoral college representatives after the election in a failed bid to get them to reconsider. He claims to have found a suspicious number of Social Security numbers linked to "Barack Obama," though admits there's no proven link to the president. "The objection is not Obama's color but his politics," says Sankey. "I like him as a person, I just wish he was genuine."

Hillary and McCaine would have certainly found any skeletons in his closet.

There are so many really important issues to fight for to make this world better that I just don't understand the total waste of this issue. Put your minds and money to good use at something that counts.

So OT and this Scotland Yard buffoon know something about Obama that the entire United States intelligence and law enforcement community doesn't? Or that that entire community is in cahoots with Obama? Gimme a break.
