O's Outfielder Luke Scott Questions Obama's Birthplace

(WJZ) Baltimore Orioles outfielder Luke Scott wasn't only talking baseball at the winter meetings on Tuesday. He questioned President Barack Obama's birthplace and claimed he did not represent the United States.

"Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for," Scott said in an interview with David Brown of Yahoo's Big League Stew.

The 32-year-old went on to say Obama has no legal documentation.

"He was not born here. That's my belief. I was born here," Scott said. "If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go -- within 10 minutes -- to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything. And why? Because he's hiding something."
