"That’s not an accurate reading"

OK, then what's the accurate reading? Here it is again:

"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."

Now you said of this comment that "The "natural born citizenship" meaning that BOTH parents are citizens was discussed as least as early as the 3rd of July 2008 on Free Republic."

Where in that July 2008 comment you quoted do you see socialismisinsidious say that natural born citizenship requires that BOTH parents must be citizens? Where do you see the implication that Obama, if born in Hawaii, could not be President because of his father's citizenship?

I asked you a couple of questions about your reading proficiency. The purpose was to see if I'm wasting my time with you, as I suspect I am.

The comment at 70 is admittedly ambiguous, and socialismisinsidious uses the wrong term -- "native-born citizen" rather than "natural born citizen".

You have read it narrowly per your own inclination. But as a vouchsafe of your own reading comprehension skills what are other reasonable ways of reading that statement? There are others, they are reasonable. I'm asking you to prove YOUR good faith intellectual curiosity by finding the alternate interpretation you have missed.
