New Poll Shows More than a Third of Americans Think Obama Is Hiding Important Information About Himself — Do You?

Jan. 17, 2013 6:25pm Jason Howerton

Roughly 36 percent of all Americans believe President Barack Obama is “hiding important information about his background and early life,” according to a new poll released Thursday.

The majority of Republicans — 64 percent — believe Obama is hiding something about himself while 33 percent of independents and even 14 percent of Democrats agree, the Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind survey revealed.

Dan Cassino, a professor of political science at Fairleigh Dickinson, said this particular “conspiracy theory” is more widely accepted “because it’s been discussed so often.”

“People tend to believe that where there’s smoke, there’s fire — so the more smoke they see, the more likely they are to believe that something is going on,” he said.

The survey also found that 25 percent of Americans believe President Bush probably knew about the 9/11 attacks before they happened, while 56 percent say it’s likely not true. Additionally, 15 percent said they weren’t sure and 4 percent said they didn’t know.

The poll was conducted with 814 registered American voters from Dec. 10-16, 2012 and has a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points for the full sample.

What do you think? Is Obama hiding important information about his past?

Barry Soetoro is a POS fraud and only his brain dead worshipers believe otherwise,his BC has already been proven to be a fraud but he remains in power. Congress is full of candy@sses afraid of their own shadow and they aren’t doing their constitutional duty to ensure the integrity of the office of POTUS.

They’ll conduct an investigation into Roger Clemons to see if he used steroids but they won’t investigate weather or not Barry is eligible to be POTUS,they’re ALL traitors.

  Very true, there is too much about Obama we do not know of and that is being deliberately covered up. These matters must be investigated, as it should be with all Presidents, and Presidential candidates, as thoroughly as possible.

  I truly hope the upcoming conference scheduled by the SCOTUS as reported by Orly Taitz
  http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=375765 gets four votes and proceeds.
  Anyone who seals all of their records on day one of their term is hiding something. We know next to nothing about this man, except or his behavior.

  AIT That’s great news and if they can prove as all of us know that Barry is a fraud then he would be thrown out of office and into prison where he belongs. Every law the POS signed would also be null and void.

  Call me crazy, but I’d like more information on:
  
  1. His authentic birth certificate under lock and key hidden in Hawaii (allegedly)
  2. His social security number origination
  3. His college transcripts
  4. Any past criminal or civil issues involving himself
  5. That strange scar that has appeared on the right rear of his head awhile back, thus, his medical records.
  
  If he was transparent, I still may disagree with his philosophy and actions, but I would at least respect his legal ability to sit in the house I help pay for.

Of course he (Comrade Obama) does. He hides his mentor/advisor relationships with his many communist mentors such as Saul Alinsky (rules for Radicals and the glories of Communism) as taught by Obama as Asst, College professor, Frank Marshall Davis, If you want to hear Davis in Obama’s rhetoric and ideas, you can begin with Obama’s vow on the eve of his historic election to bring “fundamental change” to the U.S. – the exact term Davis used to describe a communist revolution in the U.S.

Why will he not allow his college transcripts to be released?

  I am not sure about the fake birth certificate claims. However I do believe he had ties to socialist organizations from his college days, it’s blatantly apparent in the way he tries to ruin our nation.

  Only 36% are sure? 51% are positive that all is good?
  And who is that 1% that ‘refused’?

Hiding? like the birth certificate that has been fraudulently filled out to make it appear that it’s actually his. Anyone with photoshop can see its a fraud. So, hiding that’s a given.

A shady character? Yes. He hides in the darkness of politically correct obscurity. I believe if his true agenda for America was exposed and how duped and gullable his support base is, a lot of folks would lose their lunch.

  Roger, Roger, Roger!
  
  Pakistan, Columbia and Man’s Country in Chicago. Oh, more recently, that night in Benghazi, 11 Sept 12.
  
  Does anybody want to know about the three openly gay men from Reverand Wright’s congregation, each killed with a single bullet to the head, in Novemeber and December 2007? The national media certainly doesn’t want to talk about it, neither did a guy named Glenn Beck. Chicago police have no leads. You don’t think Barry Soetoro swings both ways, do you? Well, that’s just the most ridiculous thing that I’ve ever heard! It can’t be true. I refuse to believe it! You folks are nuts!
  
  Oh, that’s right, I brought it up. My bad.
  
  “Remember Benghazi and ALL the Traitors!”
