We need to find valid reasons to oppose Obama. Let's just stay away from the tinfoil.

We already know that Obama is not QUALIFIED to be the President, we now know that he is not ELIGIBLE to be President under American law.
This is a great comment to a post over at Michelle Malkin’s blog:

Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. Natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between “December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986? . Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. Citizen parents, which of course is what exempts John McCain though he was born in the Panama Canal. US Law very clearly stipulates: “…If only one parent was a U.S. Citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.” Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. Citizen and Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawai’i being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama’s birth, but *after* age 16. It doesn’t matter *after* . In essence, she was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Obama’s birth when she was 18 in Hawai’i. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5= 21 years old, at the time of Barack Obama’s birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen. As aformentioned, she was a young college student at the time and was not. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Cizen parent. Obama instead should have been naturalized, but even then, that would still disqualify him from holding the office.
*** Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. *** Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, all the other info does not matter because his mother is the one who needed to have been a U.S. Citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16. Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the country for some time to protect any citizenship he would have had, rather than living in Indonesia. Now you can see why Obama’s aides stopped his speech about how we technically have more than 50 states, because it would have led to this discovery. This is very clear cut and a blaring violation of U.S. Election law. I think the Gov. Of California would be very insterested in knowing this if Obama were elected President without being a natural-born U.S. Citizen, and it would set precedence. Stay tuned to your TV sets because I suspect some of this information will be leaking through over the next several days…
DAWG! This guy really is about flaunting his illegal behavior in all of our faces, isn’t he?
1. clause (g) also has age requirements.
2. IF Obama was born in Kenya (and I have no reason to think he was), then it is clause (g) which is relevant, rather than clause (d), since his father was not a US “national”.
It's possible that Obama will not release his birth certificate because, among other things, it identifies his father as Arab rather than African, thus destroying his “authenticity” as an African-American.
Nope.
The "five years after age 16" language is ancient. My great-grandfather came here from Ireland at age 5 and was naturalized at age 19. The "16+5" rule existed then for naturalization, BUT ONLY IF YOU CAME HERE AFTER AGE 16.
I'm quite sure that a 16-year old US citizen mother living in the US could give birth to "natural born citizens" at any time from 1775 until now.
And, since Obama was born in the State of Hawaii, it's irrelevant anyway. He's as "natural born" as you or I.
Hawaii has been a state since 1959. Obama was born in 1961.
How can he be naturalized? He was born on American soil to an American parent. As the Wall Street Journal posted today, they have a copy of his birth certificate, and this rumor doesn’t hold water.

OK - that makes sense ....
I see; the law that was quoted applies only if you were born outside the US, is that correct?
Thanks for the responses.
I’m sorry. I don’t believe the question of whether or not he’s actually a US citizen is a petty thing. No one said anything about people born in Hawaii not being citizens. I think you need to go back and reread.
Amen to the iota of integrity. I give main stream media about as much attention as the rags they sell at the check out stand any more. Anyone remember the quote, from Noam Chomsky, “He who controls the media controls the minds of the public”.
Not just a birth certificate, but a valid one bearing the official seal of the state of Hawaii. The one that floating around does not have that seal, so it is not valid proof of anything.
