>>A coal miner in West Virginia's reality is much different than an investment broker in NYC. The corn farmer's reality is different from that of an auto line worker. To say that the miner, broker, auto line worker or corn farmer are supposed to have the same concerns and realities or have no valid grounding (or based on your reality) shows you live in a very small world that seems to revolve around you.

Please explain how your investment broker, corn farmer, and miner's occupations play a role in whether or not they think the president is an american citizen.
