I don’t understand all the angry and screaming either....since all of Barrack Obama’s supporters say, without waiver, that he is a NBC. So, what is the problem?
I suspect that there is one of four possible motivations:
(1)Many of the current POTUS’ pundit supporters suspect he doesn’t meet the NBC requirement and they don’t want the issue to be forced.
(2)Many know what the NBC requirement was intended to mean (i.e. both parents US citizens), but they consider this to be another “outdated” or “passe” thing that should not be enforced...but they lack the will to attempt to ammend the consitution. Therefore, they are attempting to ammend it by a precident in the form of this current administration.
(3) They are just ignorant and don’t care what the constitution says. The “rule of law” only counts to them when it favors them.
(4) This is just a cover for critism of other issues. Maybe they believe that the current POTUS is a NBC, but they think this issue will cost him votes when added to all the other unpopular things this administration has pushed.
(5) They want to use the issue to paint any opponent to Obama as an ignoramus and Neanderthal.
Very well stated.
I too don’t understand all the shouting.
If you say “Please show me your original BC like John McCain did” they just explode.
Why? Well, you already answered that but still it is extremely disconcerting.
And surprising.
And upsetting.
And unnecessary.
