Citizenship: Indonesian National
When did he become an American again?

Birthers everywhere will be celebrating. Donald Trump is already strutting like a peacock, claiming credit for its release.
With all the fanfare of a British Wedding, the media announced the release of what is purported to be the actual long-form Birth Certificate of Barack Obama.
So what’s wrong with this picture? As Glenn Beck would say, “Watch the OTHER Hand.” Beck is convinced Obama will once again use one significant event to draw attention away from something of even more significance. Perhaps. We will have to wait and see.
Beck could be right: Ben Benanke is scheduled to give the first press conference EVER by the Fed later today. What could possibly go wrong there? Well, the bonds market is closing early today… just prior to Benanke’s speech. Does that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
Either way, the Birth Certificate issue SHOULD BE PUT TO REST ONCE AND FOR ALL…

Good post.
Birthers everywhere will be celebrating.
Why? This was the most important issue to birthers and now it is over. They wanted this issue for 2012 and now it is not going to be. I believe some birthers are very upset over this.
Since the beginning of this issue the real question has been ignored. What is the legal definition of the term ‘natural born citizen’ in the Constitution? Can you have two foreign born parents (but be born in America) and still be President? Or one foreign parent? Or do you need to be born of two American citizen parents as has been the definition for most of country’s history and was so at the time of our Founding.
This question you will notice is never addressed by the MSM at all, nor by even many alternative media outlets as well. The birth certificate issue has been set up as a smoke screen in order to deflect from this, the real question that needs to be answered.
A lawyer in my state of New Jersey has tried to pursue this question legally but of course to no avail. It is an extremely important issue and should not be discarded or ridiculed. Here is his website explaining the issue:

We have today a democrat political party that has objectives to maintain open borders and grant amnesty to illegal’s entering this nation. This same political party would also like to eliminate the electoral college in order to have the mass population centers (cities) rule the voting process, and now also we have a movement on the left to do away the ‘natural born citizen’ requirement in the Constitution thus allowing someone with foreign allegiances to become President. This is a prescription for the demise of our nation.
If you care about this nation and the rule of law then I implore you to address the real issue involving Presidential eligibility under the Constitution.
Does it prove he is a natural born citizen? Obviously his father was not a U.S. citizen. What were the rules at that time regarding one parent being a citizen?
Did you have an opinion of the subject of the OP?
(what was this sideshow today, designed to distract from?)
Meanwhile, how about all those other things Obama has been hiding?...
He didn’t release anything... they rehashed the same ole COLB, and begged the press to stop talking about it.
He’s running scared.... Time for Donald to bury him with this re-publicized forgery.
Outstanding post! It’s funny, I was just cruising around various foreign news sites looking for what we might be missing in the middle of all of this. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm......
I'm nearly as old as zerØ, and mine looks like a page from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
You and I know that both parents are supposed to be natural born citizens but this is over. Today Obama did what the birthers wanted and it is done. The birthers will just look silly if they continue with this. The whole natural born citizen rules are a bit to broad. They should have been more concrete and exact in their explanations. Americans are not going to care about his father’s citizenship. I promise you that. If only FREEPERS voted for Obama than it would make a difference. We have so much other issues to get him on that we should focus on those.
Note how bnoth documents have the same flaw in the Race category.
Since when was someone’s race “African” as opposed to “Negro”, which was the typical entry for folks born during that time frame.
Until it undergoes some kind of forensic analysis, it’s just another scanned image.
But more to the point, it still fails to address the Natonality of the Father, per Article II, Section I
Well, like changing the seating of the deck chairs on the Titanic, Petreus leaves the Pentagon to head the CIA; and Panetta leaves the CIA to head the Pentagon. Weird? Odd? And why?
And Mr. Dunham/Soetaro/Obama did himself no favors with his face time this morning; if anything, he muddied it more. Rather than taking the time to explain the BC...strongly...he mentioned it in the beginning; then did a campaign stump speech; then wrapped up with a minute mention of the topic hand. No passion; no ‘this is it’ just weird detachment and the usual insults (we can’t multitask as an electorate and we are easily ‘distracted.’)
I’m glad I didn’t spend $25 on Corsi’s book (and billboard campaign)!! LOL.
“We have so much other issues to get him on that we should focus on those.”
I don’t often agree with BOR, but I agree with this “We can walk and chew gum”
We need to hit Obama from every angle.
Trump/Corsi: Birth Certificate, Records, etc
Palin: Oil prices
Bachmann: ObamaCare
Paul/conservative House: Deficit/Spending
Norquist: Taxes
Establishment: sit on their hands
Not quite. If mommy and daddy were married, he isn't a Natural Born Citizen. Note, please, that I did not say he might not be a citizen, just not a Natural Born Citizen.
It seems so many people have just skimmed the issues surrounding the extensive lack of documentation of Mr. Obama, and this is far from the end: it is just the beginning.
Nice border treatments on that supposed document, too.
So if they were not married it is a moot point? I think that is what the final chapter will be. They were not married so it does not matter. Watch!!!!
Have you been reading along, or did you just tune in?
If they were not married, was he adopted by Lolo Soetoro? Did his citizenship change to Indonesian? Where are his financial aid records? Did he go to school on a Fulbright Scholarship? Is he naturalized?
There is less documentation available on this guy than my kindergardener.
He has just allegedly ponied up the very first of the sealed (by executive order) records and you're lapping it up.
Now go look at the image at the link and tell me what's up with the borders, especially the left one.
That’s why I wrote: “Birthers everywhere will be celebrating… then wondering what to do with the rest of their lives.”
At first they will celebrate, thinking they’ve actually accomplished something (Sorry, folks, but the original “certificate of live birth” Obama used was perfectly legal).
But sudddenly they will realize that they no longer have an issue... worse yet, they will discover their biggest supporter turned out to be Donald Trump. Some days just suck, don’t they?
