Fairfield mayor questions Obama’s citizenship, pride in middle name
Fairfield Mayor Ron. D’Epifanio was the opening speaker at a meeting of local business leaders and surrogates for Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign this morning.
Those surrogates were former congressman and White House budget director Rob Portman and Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, heiress to the Rothschild fortune.
D’Epifanio started by saying he’s not very politically correct. Then he said he is proud of his middle name — Achillo — unlike one Sen. Barack Hussein Obama.
D’Epifanio then said his father was from Italy, but he can prove he is an American citizen — “I don’t know that we have a presidential candidate that can do that,” he said.
When asked if he was suggesting Obama isn’t an American citizen, he said there is some question about whether the Illinois senator was born in the United States.
According to The LA Times, here is Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii.
If given more time, D’Epifanio said he would have called Obama a socialist.
