The issue is not whether Obama was born in Hawaii or not — the issue is whether, in 1961, at the time of his birth, he became a “natural born US citizen”. His mother was 18 at the time, and his father was not a US citizen. Under the governing law, as many understand it, Obama’s mother was too young to automatically pass on US citizenship to her son at the time of his birth. She needed to be 21 to do that, but was only 18. Thus, the argument being made is that Obama is not eligible to take the oath of office in January and become president because he is only a naturalized US citizen, not a natural-born US citizen.
This can all be cleared up in one day if the Obama camp would cooperated and prove once and for all he is a natural-born, and not naturalized, US citizen. One day, and all of this could be cleared up and we can all move on and there would be no need for Alan Keyes to file any lawsuits.
Why doesn’t the Obama camp and the DNC just cooperate and get this all over with?

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive…

When you’re born in the U.S, you’re a natural born citizen. The End.

I hope Alan beat him this time.

You fools, Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. That makes him a citizen. A parent’s age makes no difference. NEVER HAS!
Are you THAT STUPID?

This is not a difficult issue to understand.
1. If Obama was born in Hawaii (or elsewhere in the United States), the age and citizenship of his parents is NOT relevant.
2. If Obama was not born in Hawaii (or elsewhere in the United States), the age and citizenship of his parents IS relevant.
Since Obama was born in Hawaii, the age and citizenship of his parents is NOT relevant.
It’s that simple.

Yeah, right – why don’t you tell that to the judge?
You might also want to get that phony birth certificate from FactCheck.org and send it to him as “proof.” :D

The age matters if he was born in Kenya. We really don’t know where he was born, do we? That bogus BC on factcheck is BS. Look at Father’s race: AFRICAN–really??? We didn’t use those terms back in 1961. The idiot who forged it was so politically correct that they screwed up. It should say Negro. You are the fools–you’ve been hmmm…how do you say..DUPED! Also, check out Atlasshrugs.com (Pamela Geller) she has the factcheck BC and has the evaluation that it is indeed a forgery.

Atlasshrugs? Isn’t that the blog that said that Obama is Malcolm X’s love child?
That’s a good source. Those people are healthy.

Why don’t my posts show? I posted one last night, and it;s still not here.

I hope he is not a citizen.. The country will thank us:)

Do you guys still not know that the birth certificate was VERIFIED by the Governor of Hawaii, TWICE?
November 20, 2008 at 11:45 pm
The Republican Governor of Hawaii no less.

The libel and slanders didn’t stop him, what is with this “Obama is not American” crap that keeps getting spewed. Hillbuzz sucks.

When the Supreme Court rules that BO is ineligible to be President, they will direct the electors to vote for anyone except Obama.
In all likelihood Hillary will become our next president. This will not result in any “crisis”. Obama has already selected a cabinet filled with old Clintonistas, so it would be a real smooth “transition”. The blacks will be pacified by arranging for their Messiah to be appointed Secretary of State.

Hawaii wasn’t even a state of the US when Obama was born. Are YOU that stupid?

Why do liberals have to steal and cheat to win? Just curious.

Blueeyeddevil lol. The world has only one messiah and its not Barack Obama. Im an African American and I would be dissapointed if Obama doesnt qualify to be the next president ot the US, but rules are rules and without laws this country would fall apart.

ummm hawaii was a state in 1959. his mother is from kansas, therefore he is an american citizen. if he wasn’t he couldn’t run for president. history class anyone?
