I'm afraid your memory is failing you, my dear, because it simply wasn't.

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

"If it were to come to light after Obama was sworn in as president that he was not a natural born citizen..." - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2132471/posts?page=361#361

"I believe this bill was actually intended to make it legal for Senator Obama to be president even though he was born outside of the United States by defining the term “natural born” that was used in the constitution." - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2118289/posts?page=17#17

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.

You two disruptors are trying to make a moot point. It matters not one iota when the two citizen or adoption arguments came up here at FR or elsewhere only that they came up before Obama was elected/sworn in.

Apparently you are trying to say well no one brought it up so that is evidence that its not true? Carry that into court and I'll watch you get thrown out on your rear. Sheesh if that's all you got pack it in and head home with your tails tucked between your legs.

Don’t let Loren spinning his lure sidetrack you on a fringe issue. The matter is inconsequential to when and where it was first discussed about the ‘two citizen parent’ concerning Obama.
