You said — “Additionally, that doesnt matter because Obama is a citizen even if he was born outside the country, because his mother was a citizen. McCain was born in panama, and he is a natural born citizen.”

Not necessarily... According to what I was reading — because of his mother’s age and the guy she married being from Kenya, Obama would not qualify to be a citizen. The mother wasn’t old enough, you see, even with her being a citizen. She had to have been in the U.S. a certain number of years by a certain age or Obama would not qualify. That’s the problem, you see...

Now, with McCain, it was with two American citizen parents and he was born in an area that the court determined qualified him to be “natural born”. That was taken to a court and a court made that determination. Besides, McCain gave over his birth certificate right away — no problems. Obama still refuses to do so.

In regards to the State of Hawaii, they don’t say where Obama was born, only that they have the document there. You look at the words very carefully and they avoid saying where Obama was born *even though* they know that this is the *main issue*... They don’t want to say and be the ones who get sued for releasing that information if Obama hasn’t.

So, it’s all a matter of Obama doing *everything he can* to hide his birth certificate and the information on it. There’s a serious problem there, otherwise, he wouldn’t have a problem in releasing it.

This is true, if he was born in Kenya and if the marriage was legal, she needed five years of residency after her 14th birthday. She was just under that. If the marriage, however, wasn't legal, he could fall under single parentage or unknown parentage and the residency issue may not apply.. It can get crazy complicated... Let's just say I'm glad I'm not a SCOTUS judge and just someone clicking away about it on a keyboard...
