The only confusion as to the intended, original meaning of the term "natural born citizen" arises from deliberate obfuscation created by a tortured interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The 14th Amendment dealt with extending the rights and obligations of citizenship to former slaves.

Suddenly... the reason for Obama's oval office desk made of slave ship wood seems to become more clear.

If challenged, he is going to claim he is covered by the 14th. By the time a case like that gets resolved, he will have his 4 years done.

For the fun of it.. lets say all of this is true and winnable in a court action, which, if I'm correct, would lead to putting it before the House of Representatives, still something like that cannot win in a Senate that propped up a perjuring (and now dis-barred) Bill Clinton, which would lead to a helluva mess in 2012.

But Obama may have never intended to run for a second term, knowing full well this was eventually going to come up, which would certainly offer a better explanation as to why he appointed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, and why they still viciously attack Palin. They fear a Palin vs Hillary contest in 2012, because Hillary has never drawn 10,000 people to a rally in her whole life. Hillary's political machine is still running, and they ain't just whistlin' Dixie.

(It would also explain Obama's brash tactics and sense of extreme urgency to get his agenda passed. He has two good years to pass legislation.)

In return for Obama's generosity of providing Hillary some foreign policy cred, Hillary has likely promised Obama he will be the next Sec of State, or Ambassador to Hawaii, or whattheheck... hes got the Pres. pension, and Secret Service protection for life... he's fixed up for life. He can go out and 'community organize', make speeches in Japan for a cool million, and be rich and play golf. Works good for him. So he will have more fun and make more money by NOT running in 2012, anyway. Sounds like some very practical thinking to me.

So Obama avoids the Constitutional crisis of 2012 by stepping aside in the 'spirit of bringing this country together' and lets Hillary run for her chance at the national perk lottery.

What about the ‘natural born’ language for
President and Vice President?

So you think he’s got his ancestry (assuming
his father IS BHO Sr) traced back to slaves?

Stomach’s got the ooopsies now ...

Guess who’s involved in that?
