Another Freeper, LorenC, has already done that. He found not a single example of a thread dating from before the election making the argument. I checked his work and found it to be accurate.
I am certain it was discussed here before the fall of 2008.
I'm afraid your memory is failing you, my dear, because it simply wasn't.
I don’t remember exactly when Berg and Donofrio first filed their lawsuits but I beleive think at least one of them may have been filed before September 2008
That would be Berg, whose lawsuit is solely based on Obama's birth place and does not make the two-citizen-parent argument.
Here is but one example:
To: Robert Drobot
“Obama was born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii,”
Has this been verified to be correct? Is Obama a natural born citizen of the U.S. as required by our Constitution?
In a county of background checks for almost any job, background checks have become a way of life. As anyone seen Obama’s birth certificate and verified it? Would you accept his word he is qualified to be POTUS as defined by our Constitution?

See here: Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims (Uh-oh), article posted 7/3/2008, reply 70 by socialismisinsidious reply was less than an hour after the article was posted.
The reply of socialismisinsidious is as follows:
To be President one has to be a "native-born citizen" If Obama's Mama gave birth to him in another country then that would make him a "citizen at birth" but not a "native-born citizen" It's worth knowing since its Constitutional and would set precedent that the Libs would love.

“It is very possible that he doesn’t even meet the qualifications to be a United States Senator...”
What is the qualifications for being a United States Senator?
A senator must, by the date of inauguration, be at least thirty years old, a U.S. citizen for at least nine years, and a state inhabitant of the state he or she wishes to represent...
Now what part of that didn’t Obama meet? The part about getting his U.S. Citizenship back. Obama used his Indonesian Citizenship for many years. How many? No one knows for sure, and THIS is just another of the MANY questions we should be demanding.
Oh and the date of this injunction filing of Bergs, October 2008. BEFORE the elections. Berg filed the original suit on Aug 21, 2008.
Here is an interesting post....We knew she was staying in, just didn’t know WHY...

Be that as it may, what is the point of nitpicking WHEN the discussions started?
Answer that one Obot, as you try to scheme up other distractions. I for ome do not have the time or the inclination to go through 6 years of posts I have made here for your benefit. Not even a little bit. They number in the thousands. If you want to sift through all that by all means have at it.
The whole Sammy scandal and the “Michell Obama tape” fiasco went down in Oct of 2008, before the elections, and THAT was all about the ADOPTION of little Barry. It was a total hoax, but still that was actually a real issue. Barrys Adoption cost him Natural Born Citizen Status, and is one Obama may never have legally dealt with. No one knows otherwise, because the cretin refuses to release his records. Golly, wonder if it is because doing so would prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Obama is Constitutionally Unqualified for the office of POTUS.
You cannot prove otherwise.
If I may interject...
The first time Flamenco Lady herself clearly elucidated the supposed 'two-citizen-parent' requirement was November 19, 2008. In a post a couple of hours earlier, she came close, but only said "Hence to be a natural born citizen you must be born on U.S. soil and not have the possibility of foreign citizenship at birth to any other country."
Now in both posts, she refers back to Leo Donofrio's suit. Which is significant, because Donofrio's suit is what introduced the entire 'two-citizen-parent' meme.
Now, Flamenco Lady had posted several times prior to November 19 about Obama and natural born citizenship:

"I hope this helps to explain why a certified copy of the vault copy would be needed to prove that Obama was born in Hawaii, and determine if he is a natural born citizen." - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2132471/posts?page=1878#1878

Multiple posts about Obama and natural born citizenship prior to reading about Donofrio, and not one mention of 'My teachers always taught me that the President must have two citizen parents.' Rather, the quotes I included above suggest the exact opposite; that prior to November 19, Flamenco Lady's understanding was that birth in the US was sufficient, and that his father's citizenship was irrelevant.
