No comparison. Both cases are different. Also, Barry's situation is more than where he was born. He may not have had US citizenship due to his childhood in Indonesia.

Aside from all of this, I believe he is the only president to have spent his formative years on foreign soil. Military children born or being stationed overseas (such as McCain) are different situations.

Obama was never raised with respect and love for this country! He did not grow up saying the pledge, or singing ‘God Bless America’ - that is for sure. His only religious teachings were Muslim, and, from all accounts, his mother and grandparents were atheists and leaned toward communism.

He is what the founding fathers wanted to avoid when they said natural born. They knew that a child not raised in this society would not have the reverence and respect for the history of the country. That is why Barry bows to other leaders...he is not really an American in his heart. His allegiance lies elsewhere. It is his goal to weaken America. Our founding fathers did not want this type of person to be elected. We may as well open the doors to the whole world for our presidency if this situation is not addressed and addressed thoroughly. I believe this will set a precedent, and we will have make an amendment to our constitution to further clarify eligibility. At the very least, an amendment will have to written that all candidates must provide a legal birth certificate.

“He may not have had US citizenship due to his childhood in Indonesia.”

Totally incorrect. Nothing that happened to him in Indonesia between 6 and 10 has any relevance to his citizenship status (including natural born) here.

“Obama was never raised with respect and love for this country!”

Irrelevant for the purposes of law. Many natural born citizens are evil people who hate America. Bill Ayers is a natural born citizen who hates America.

"He may not have had US citizenship due to his childhood in Indonesia."

I have no earthly idea how you can even begin to believe such an insane statement. In America, it is impossible to lose one's citizenship. It is also - as a practical matter of law - for minor children to lose their US citizenship.

The abdication of citizenship is a laborious and active, not passive, course of events. It cannot be "lost", it may only abdicated, and then only under very specific circumstances.

Standard birther canard. You can't give up your native born citizenship prior to attaining the age of majority. Nor can your parents give it up on your behalf.

They knew that a child not raised in this society would not have the reverence and respect for the history of the country.

I rather doubt the founders were that stupid. Do you suppose Marie Elg was not patriotic or something?

Of course, we know Obama isn't patriotic. But it isn't because he was raised by foreigners in foreign lands. He's a natural born red diaper baby. His communist education was at the hands of natural born American communists — Gramps and Gramps's friend Frank Marshall Davis and later Billy Ayers and who knows who else. We have to rely on voters, not founders, to keep such as Obama out of the Oval Office.
