Former Navy SEAL Larry Bailey has come forward to publicly question President Obama’s birthplace.  Bailey founded the group Special Operations Speaks (SOS), which will back anyone running against President Obama in the upcoming presidential election.  Despite the White House releasing President Obama’s full birth certificate in early 2011, Bailey claims that Obama was not born in the United States and was born a socialist. ForeignPolicy.com reports:

President Barack Obama is a socialist, was raised by communists, and wasn’t born in the United States, according to the former Navy SEAL who founded the group Special Operations Speaks (SOS), which aims to portray Obama as anti-military in this election season.

Earlier this week, a different group of former Navy SEALS calling themselves the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund rolled out its campaign to criticize Obama for leaking national security information and taking what it believes as undue credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden. That group claims to be non-political.
