The natural born issue has never been mentioned on this board before Obama was elected...there is no constitutional issue here, but rather a refusal to accept the election results. I believe as do most that if you are born on this soil,you are a natural born American. I can not imagine the mess with people endlessly in courts if some arbitrary standard was established...we can get through Obama’s tenure-no need to turn the constitution on it’s head in order to overturn an election...not a good idea.
You are wrong that my concern reflects a refusal to accept election results. I was unaware that there was no vetting of presidential candidates until this issue was raised. Further, Obama’s international upbringing makes these questions reasonable, just as they were for John McCain. We should be able to discuss these issues as adults and in an intellectually honest way.
You are free to believe anything you want about who or what is a natural-born citizen. I am sure you are aware that Congress passed a bill naming McCain natural born. I was disgusted by that, and that was even before I heard about this issue involving Obama. Further, a few years ago I heard that Orrin Hatch wanted to change the law to accommodate Arnold, which I found beyond outrageous. This issue is properly settled by the Supreme Court, not by the craven politicians or this mob that you like to refer to.
If you plan to only make false accusations, I am not really interested in dicussing the issue with you, Bronxboy. I have always lived in Massachusetts and so I am fully accustomed to one-party Democratic rule, as we now have in Washington. I don’t vote for them, but they run this state (into the ground). I am hardly in a panic over Obama. He is just more of what we have in every office here.
