The new Republican House majority leader says he doesn't think questions about President Barack Obama's citizenship should play a role in the discussion of policy matters.

Two years into the Obama administration, so-called birthers continue to argue that Obama isn't a natural-born citizen and that he hasn't proved he's constitutionally qualified to be president. Birth records in Hawaii haven't dissuaded them.

“What would happen if several states passed laws requiring proof of natural born citizenship before your name could be placed on the ballot for president? I believe several are considering this move.”

I hope you saw post #70 that makes the point that Obama’s refusal to reveal records relating to his citizenship status threatens to establish a terrible precendent. State laws need to be passed ASAP, especially in ones with the high electoral counts.

Exactly what I thought...

what birth records?

The longer this gets pushed off ...the worse it will be when it is finally uncovered. The truth is ...no matter what is on his birth certificate it isn't his "fault," he was a baby at the time. The only thing that could be so destructive as to need to be hidden or covered up...is if Barry is not who he claims to be. (multiple identity SS# theft). Is not a US citizen, but an illegal alien (see adoption and dual citizenship matters). Any thing else is a non-starter issue.

Frankly, I’m glad Eric Cantor didn’t take the bait. I don’t want the Republicans in Congress sidetracked by this issue. They need to concentrate on the job we elected them to do, and start reducing spending by trimming the Federal Government. That will keep them plenty occupied over the next two years. Then, if they don’t do THAT job, we can replace them with people who WILL do it!

Question for Eric Cantor= if obama is not a NBC, and a illegal prez, does that make you a traitor to your own country for supporting his cause?

I don’t want to fill out Cantor’s online form, but I want to send him an email. Does anyone have the address?

” ... how on earth can these jerks say that they “believe” Obama is a citizen, when no proof whatsover has been offered, and when Obama refuses to provide any?

Why not at least say, “I don’t really understand why Obama refuses to release any of his records: including a valid birth certificate or any of his college records.”


Yes yes and yes.

Repubics aren’t going to say anything — both parties are in a glass house; McCain born in Panamian soil is ineligible as well.

More explainin’ to do. Just like how Roger Calero was on 08 ballot in 5 states. Born in Nicaragua. The system is broken folks.

But yes, the real consequences of fraud for the foreign born illegal alien (I doubt he’s American, but Indonesian, regardless..) usurper in thief in the White House is no more trust in government and the media.

And with so many pillars at risk, one has to wonder at what point they will force Obama out (He’s not feeling so well folks, health reasons)..and if he doesn’t go willingly? ...

It won’t be pretty, which of course we knew years ago.

Barry the Bastard is in because global elites want him there to ‘spread America’s wealth around the globe’ until we are no longer economically viable and must join the ‘new’ global banking oligarchy and new world order of governance. Since Barry is there because power wants him there, the only thing that would cause that power to remove him is becoming useless to their agenda ... and the timing of that is cycled to what may become the last free election on AMerican soil in 2012. Unless the successor is in need of ‘overlap’ and thus would need to be inserted to finish the bastard’s term, Barry will be with us well into this century, one way or another. He is just to wicked to be set aside by the gloablist agenda. And if you doubt that, look at how the degenerate sinkEmperor has been feted and preened, to continue as a ‘great thinker’ by the dead-soul leadership actually running this planet.

Here we go...Meet the Press
My transcript, not theirs, but the video is there so follow the bouncing ball...

Gregory: There are elements of this country who question the President's citizenship, who think that his birth certificate is inauthentic. Will you call that what it is, which is crazy talk?
Cantor: David, you know, a lot of that has been an issue sort of generated by not only media but others in the country. Most Americans really are beyond that and they want us to focus...
Gregory: If somebody brings that up just engaging in crazy talk?
Cantor: David, I don't think it's nice to call anyone crazy...
Gregory: All right, is it a legitimate or an illegitimate issue?
Cantor: I don't think it's an issue that we need to address at all. I think we need to focus...
Gregory: His citizenship should never be questioned in your judgment? Is that what you're saying?
Cantor: It is not an issue that even needs to be on the policy making table right now whatsoever.
Gregory: Because it's illegitimate? I mean why don't you call just it what it is? I feel like there is a lot of Republican leaders who don't want to go as far as to criticize those folks...
Cantor: I think the president's a citizen of the United States.
Gregory: Period.
Cantor: Yes. Why is it that you want me to go engage in name calling?
Gregory: I just...
Cantor: I think he's a citizen of the United States.

And there you have it. David did an outstanding job of addressing the issue without raising the core contention whatsoever.
And Cantor did just as outstanding a job as well in avoiding directly answering the core issue whatsoever.
Well done to both of you in not bringing this thing one iota closer to resolution.

Yes I agree that the globalist elites love their sock-puppet, he’s doing wonders for fascism! If he’s found ineligible lamestream media and government hacks response “Who cares”, results in civil disobediance, civil unrest and trust, confidence in government, media, etc now gone...and country in crisis.

Five grand on guns, munitions, tools past few years well spent. What the heck, guess I’ll take it up a notch.

...but first I need a vacation dammit.

From the article....

“Birth records in Hawaii haven’t dissuaded them.”

To my knowledge no birth records from Hawaii have ever beeen released.

The COLB that was posted on Obama’s website shows that Obama is the son of a non citizen father born in Hawaii. That in itself is prima Facia that he is not a NBC, however, if I recall correctly, the COLB was a fabrication posted on Obama’s website by some one other than an offical, and then adopted by Obama’s election team as real.

Canter’s statement above begs the question.....the Constitutional requirenment for Presidential eligibility is not mere citizenship, but a special quality of citizenship, one that encompasses the aspects of both jus solis and jus sanquines....that is birth on the soil to citizen parents.

Yes I’m talking about Natural Born Citizenship.....

We know that Obama fails the ju sanquines portion of Natural Born Citizenship because of his, as the COLB states, “african” father. It’s the elephant that is sitting in the middle of the parlor that the politicians and the media are struggling mightily to ignore. Sorry I see it despite their insistence of it’s non existence.

The question of whether Obama was indeed born in Hawaii, as he claims, to satisify the jus solis aspect of NBC is, at it stands, unproven, unless you accept the website posted COLB as genuine. In any case, Obama’s birthplace is a moot question given his father’s lack of American citizenship.

The American Kennel Club requires that a canines’ parents, both dog and bitch, be proven and documented individuals of a specific (the same) breed in order to be considered for competition in the doggy arena......

With his non-citizen father Obama is a mutt, and not eligible to be the Chief Executive of these here United States. It matters not if he was or wasn’t born in one of the 50 kennels that constitute the US of A. His father may be a Cocker Spaniel (Lady), but his father was a Tramp.....

Where in the Constitution does it say that two American citizen parents are required in order to be a natural born citizen? Which Article, which Section, which clause?

Where in the US Code of Laws does it say that two American citizen parents are required in order to be a natural born citizen.

Why did the Indiana Court of Appeals rule just the opposite with specific regard to Barack Obama’s eligibility to receive Indiana’s Electoral College votes: “Based on the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 of the Constitution and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.”
—Ankeny et. al. v The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels

Why is there no US Supreme Court decision stating that two American citizen parents are required in order to be a natural born citizen?

Why does the current US Code of Laws define a “Citizen of the United States at Birth” as someone born within the United States of American and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

Why is there no US Supreme Court decision that differentiates between a natural born citizen and a citizen of the United States at Birth?

Why has the current Supreme Court rejected hearing any of twelve Obama Eligibility Appeals that have reached the High Court and rejected them all without even one word of comment other than “Denied?”

We know the wackos and crazies are in the lame media and government.

Hawaii can’t even prove that Obama is a citizen let alone a natural born citizen.

Yes I do. Underneath Cantor's online web form is his email address. The trick to find these hidden email addresses that politicians like to hide is to expose the webpage's html source with software.

U.S. Representative for Virginia's 7th congressional district is Cantor as "VA07" indicates.

Thanks. That is some valuable information, plus I really appreciate getting Cantor’s email address. I have a lot on my mind, none of it positive. Cantor needs to know how infuriated and disgusted a large percentage of us are. This BS has got to stop. Nov meant nothing to these insular, out-of-touch DC insiders. They’ve got a short time to turn their sorry butts around in, or else we can only hope, pray and work tirelessly to primary them out of office.

Maybe THEN they will comprehend the mood outside DC.
