No, he is clearly incorrect. The two-citizen-parent argument did not emerge until after the election. As LorenC pointed out, the post Red Steel produced is NOT making that argument. It's a comment on a blog that was claiming Obama's mother was too young to pass on her US citizenship to her son even if he was born in Hawaii.
clearly the issue was being discussed early in 2008
No it was not. I defy you to find a single example prior to November of 2008. The hits you got on Google refer to something else.
Ummmm Un-curios, that was a 1952 citizen statute that only applied to Obama if he was born overseas and his mother was too young to pass on her US citizenship. That particular federal statute would not effect Obama if he was born in Hawaii.
Again this argument is a clownish sideshow as I have pointed out.

Really?
The results refer to something else? Like what? The price of peanuts in China?
So you "defy" me to "find a single example prior to November of 2008." Um...well, OK then, you've been defied, with the first two examples I clicked on from the first page of that Google search listing over 21,000 hits. Oh, and I'm pretty sure that June 2008 predates November 2008.
Posted on June 10, 2008 by citizenwells| 96 Comments (this page is filled with discussion of citizen parent, citizen parents, parents who are citizens (etc) as it relates to Barry and the NBC issue).
Another example, from #1 in those Google results:
http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/barackobama/a/obama_citizen.htm (referring to an email that was circulated at the time, June 2008, Mentions two citizen parents argument.) The "clarification" of the so called "urbon legend" is, b.t.w. totally laughable and demonstrably false. But that's beside the point here.
In fact, add "obama" and remove "mccain" from the search results and you'll see people were discussing this issue prior to June 2008, which is when it appears the discussions involving Barry, two citizen parents and "Natural Born Citizen" really took off.
Using "-mccain obama two citizen parents "natural born citizen"" and "Jan 1, 2008–May 31, 2008" gives 761 results.
It appears that you are simply arguing for the sake of arguing, in spit. Not good form.
Now...do your own homework next time. Oh, and have a nice day!
