Obama’s Friends Working to Amend the Natural Born Citizen Requirement

What I can’t figure out is how we critical thinking citizens have so out-distanced *all* the main stream media — even the purportedly conservative msm. Though we too hesitate to jump on a tin-foil-hat bandwagon, it only took a few hours of research to deduce the common sense truth of the situation. Why hasn’t *any* of the MSM caught up?

We can only question the conservative media, because the MSM is not gonna report ANYTHING seriously detrimental or challenging to him. They ignored story after story that would have effectively ended his candidacy. They're no doubt hoping that all this goes away so that they never have to report it, given the way they sold out absolutely everything to put him in office.

As for the conservative media, they don't cover it because even though they're on the outside looking in on the horrific bias of the MSM, I think they desperately crave acceptance as part of the MSM. It's not enough to have wild success; they want and crave the RESPECT of their "peers" whom they perceive to be at the top of their profession. This applies even to Rush, who has appeared on many a MSM show only to be marginalized. Remember how he used to pal up with Russert and talk about how Russert was different? He wasn't different. He was a liberal schill like all the rest. But deep down in his soul, Rush wants to be accepted and respected as part of big media. This is IMHO why he and others haven't covered the citizenship issue.

Although I didn’t present the entire bills here, I did copy a snippet of each.

Also... a partial news article of interest.

Amendment would allow foreign-born citizens to run for president.

Byline: Jim Puzzanghera - dated 9/15/04

WASHINGTON _ Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, an Orange County, Calif., Republican and longtime friend of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, introduced a constitutional amendment Wednesday to allow foreign-born Americans who have been citizens for 20 years to run for president.

Schwarzenegger, who became a citizen in 1983, conveniently makes that cutoff. Now there are proposals by Republicans in both the GOP-controlled U.S. House and Senate, which could make the phrase “President Schwarzenegger” more of a possibility, if still a long shot.

“There’s a number of people I know whose career opportunities would be expanded by this constitutional amendment,” Rohrabacher said, mentioning Michigan Gov....
