Obama citizenship issue has merit, AOL poll says
World Net Daily ^ | 12/16/08 | Chelsea Schilling

America Online is conducting a new poll asking readers whether they believe there is any merit to the controversy surrounding Barack Obama's citizenship – and most respondents say "yes."

With nearly 77,000 national votes in the unscientific survery, some might say the poll chart looks somewhat similar to this year's electoral map, except in orange and yellow.

A full 48 percent of nationwide respondents believe people should be concerned about Obama's citizenship, 45 percent say the controversy has no merit and 7 percent of voters remain undecided.

America Online is conducting a new poll asking readers whether they believe there is any merit to the controversy surrounding Barack Obama's citizenship – and most respondents say "yes."

With nearly 77,000 national votes in the unscientific survery, some might say the poll chart looks somewhat similar to this year's electoral map, except in orange and yellow.

A full 48 percent of nationwide respondents believe people should be concerned about Obama's citizenship, 45 percent say the controversy has no merit and 7 percent of voters remain undecided.

In all, 32 states agree that there could be merit to the Obama citizenship controversy.

Where's the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the "natural-born American" clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 185,000 others and sign up now!

Among voters who said Obama's citizenship shouldn't be an issue, represented by 18 yellow states, an average only 50 percent of those states' respondents sided with Obama.

However, Washington, D.C., voters overwhelmingly sided with Obama – with 78 percent voting to drop the issue.

AOL isn’t exactly right winger territory either. So presumably, this represents at least 50% democrats in the poll.

Just about overlaps to a large degree with how one voted.

Of course it has merit. Citizens of the US matter. The SCOTUS needs to remember what their damn job is!

Meaningless self selcting online poll. People who go to the page are going to people who already are interested, therefore are more likely to give it credence.

Was this the same AOL Polling “methodology” that showed McCain beating Obama by 49 points?

This is exactly what I've been hoping to see, because I'd like to see the Obamatons try to say that tens of millions of people are "wingnuts with tin-foil hats."

“tens of millions of people are “wingnuts with tin-foil hats”

Bring it on! I want a T-shirt!

There are a lot more people that would be concerned about this if they just understood a few basic questions and concerns about BO’s lack of documentation.

WE might as well use AOL and GLOBE to get this stuff out cause sure as heck the MSM can’t take Viagra and get it up.

Here is Gov (commerce secretary elect)Bill Richardson saying in Spanish that Obama is an "immigrant." (So he understands understands "immigrant" issues.)The context suggests that by "immigrant" bill richardson means "illegal immigrant"



Here in plain English is the Kenyan Ambassador saying that Obama is born in Kenya.

Shows how well informed Americans are. The key question, “No, it’s not just his birthplace that concerns me, but his father’s foreign citizenship,” receives only 2%.

A “natral born citizen” must have TWO American parents and be born in the US Mainland.

Legal references: US Constitution, Art. II, Sec. 1, Cl. 5; U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898); and Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 (1939)

Probably even closer to 60% or 70% polled were Democrats. Doesn’t look good for Obama. We know where Obama was born in Kenya, but nobody knows where he was born in Hawaii.

The vote count is 87,765, but the map is blank. Houston, we have a problem.
