You misstate the case. It’s not all about his birthplace. It’s about his eligibility for the Presidency under the Constitution. His father was not even a resident alien in the United States; he was a British citizen of the colony of Kenya. That is pertinent, and has a great deal of bearing on the matter, moreso perhaps than where Barack Obama was born.

That is why so much time and effort, and such smokescreening, to keep people thinking it’s all about a birth certificate. It’s not all about a birth certificate. He’s got an obvious problem, as far as being natural born as required, a problem that is a matter of public record, available for all to see. Concealing his birth certificate could very well be masterful sleight of hand, to take focus off of this obvious problem.

But, no President in my lifetime has been immune to rancorous calls for disclosure, of medical records, of college transcripts, you name it. Obama does not get a pass. Keep the pressure up, certainly. Just don’t misconstrue this as the be-all and end-all of determining his eligibility. Because, it’s not.

very good statement of the case.....in fact one of the best I’ve seen, since it doesn’t ramble afield.

Yep, and per the 1948 British Colony Act, anyone born of a British citizen is automatically a British citizen too.

So it doesn't matter if Zero was born on the desk of the Oval Office. He's still unqualified and even admitted he had dual-citizenship on his campaign website.
