"Didn’t say he wasn’t a US citizen."

No. He never said that.

"He was born a duel citizen."

I have never seen any citation that he said that, but he doesn't have to. He is a dual citizen just like tens of millions of other natural born American citizens... yours' truly included.

"A duel citizen is not a natural born citizen simply because they are born a citizen of another country."

No. It doesn't work that way. No other country can tell the US who is or is not a natural born American citizen. That's entirely up to our laws, not theirs. All the countries on the planet could hand out their citizenship like M&Ms, and it still wouldn't matter in terms of who is or is not a natural born American citizen.

"You do know a citizen and a natural born citizen are two different things don’t you?"

Kinda. One (NBC) s just a subset of the other (citizen).

US law determines whether or not you are a NBC of the US, not the UK or any other country. US law is clear. You cannot be born a citizen of another country and be a NBC of the US. You can be a citizen of the US if you were born a citizen of another country, but not a NBC.

Obama’s website, FightTheSmears.com officially says that Obama is “a native citizen of the United States of America.”

They never say he is “Natural Born.” That’s a little too odd, for my liking. Politicians are oleaginous little buggers and play word games all the time.

Obama’s official website then goes on to quote Factcheck.org:

“As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.”

In other words, while Barry doesn’t come outright and say that he was born with dual-citizenship, he admits, via his official website, that he was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948. Which is an admission that he was born with dual-citizenship.

All that being said, it doesn’t matter to me if he was legally Natural Born or not. As I have said elsewhere, here:

“Obama said he is, “a citizen of the world.”

“I believe him.

“Obama was not on U.S. government business when he went to Kenya and campaigned for Odinga.

“So, he has most certainly demonstrated his loyalty to the Kenyan government.

“I, for one, do not trust Obama to fully protect America [nor my family] from Kenya should the Kenyan government decide to go rouge and attack the United States.”

Anyone who entrusts his family’s life with a politician who has shown strong allegiances to another country is a fool.

Anyway, that’s where I stand on the issue.

So, like I said, I don’t care if he was Natural Born or not; I just don’t trust him to push that big, red metaphoric button if needed. And, I’m certain that Our Founding Fathers were thinking along those same lines when they included the “Natural Born” requirement for President.

Cheers
