A United States soldier on active duty in Iraq called President Barack Obama an “impostor” Monday, saying he would not comply with the president’s military commands until he saw irrefutable evidence Obama was born on American soil.
“As an active-duty Officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the Office of President of the United States,” Lt. Scott Easterling wrote in a letter to attorney Orly Taitz.
Until the president – or “Mr.” Obama, as Easterling writes – releases the original ‘vault copy’ to the public, Easterling said he would refuse to acknowledge Obama’s military orders.
“I will consider him neither my Commander-in-Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office – an imposter,” he said.
Easterling said that Obama has “absolutely refused”to provide proof that he was indeed born in Honolulu – and not Kenya,as some detractors claim. Obama “has fought every attempt made byconcerned citizens” to prove his eligibility for office, Easterlingwrote.
The lieutenant iscurrently in the middle of a 15-month tour of duty in Balad, Iraq. Hejoined the Army at age 40 after working in Iraq as a contractor withfirm KBR.
