Although I think Obama's "watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat" routine when he flashed his supposed BC in front of the cameras for a brief second was as phony as the day is long, the issue of Natural Born Citizen (NBC) is not as cut-and-dry as one might think. (His deceptiveness about his BC shows even Obama isn't sure whether he's a U.S. citizen.)
The issue isn't so much where he was born, as it is the citizenship of his parents at the time he was born and whether NBC requires U.S. citizenship of two or only one parent. Interesting post below from DiogenesLamp regarding this:
According to the Standards then in place in 1787, only the Father needed to be a citizen. It didn't matter what citizenship the mother held, upon marriage, she assumed her husband's citizenship. This was the American common law of the time, and it was codified into statute law by congress I believe in the 1850s, but I would have to look it up again to be sure. The relevant legal principle is "Partus Sequitur Patrem."
Natural Law requires both parents are Citizens.

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.
"The citizenship of no man could be previous to the declaration of independence, and, as a natural right, belongs to none but those who have been born of citizens since the 4th of July, 1776."....David Ramsay, 1789.

Well, finally, something The Mombasa MF and I have in common.
Here's a novel thought, fellows. Let's get those highly paid black-robed bum-kissers of the SCOTUS to do their jobs and accept an appeal on the matter. In fact, perhaps they ought to try before The Mombasa MF appoints more LeftLesbos to their august bench ... or someone like Raúl Castro.
