He’s not opposed to folks doing the research. He’s just not confident, because he hasn’t dug into it in much detail, that it will come to fruition:

AJM: Absolutely. Oh, I had a 3rd thing about Arizona. One of their committees just passed a law, or rather passed a bill out of committee with 45 or so cosponsors, that going forward, every presidential candidate needs to produce absolute proof of natural born citizen status.

DH: (laughs).

AJM: Arizona is one of 7 or 8 states that are actually considering this law. And I’m guessing you know why they did it?

DH: Personally, I wouldn’t care if Obama came from the moon if his policies didn’t come from Stalingrad.

DH/AJM: (laughing)

DH: In seriousness, the United States expended a lot of lives and deployed troops in a lot of difficult and dangerous places over the last hundred years to retain our freedom, to protect our freedom, to defend our constitution, and the idea that we have ‘voluntarily’ given up such huge chunks of that freedom as a function of the last election is a tragedy. A genuine tragedy.

AJM: That’s why I feel a little better today. Did you see any TV yesterday? There were Tea Parties from coast to coast – small towns, medium sized towns, capitols – I think in San Jose or someplace near there they had 10,000 people. I think they had several hundred thousand people in the DC. So something is in the air, and knock on wood, it is pointing to a conservative victory in 2010.

DH: Yeah. Hopefully. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us. That is why I’m working hard with great conservative candidates like Jesse Kelly in Arizona, Greg Popaditch here in San Diego County…..

(lost connection…..redial)

DH: Go ahead Jim.

AJM: Well, let’s just wrap this up for today since we have a bad connection. I just wanted to quickly follow up on your quip that you wouldn’t care if Obama was from the moon as long as his politics weren’t from Stalingrad- which was very clever, by the way. But you started saying something else, and I lost most of the words.

DH: Well, I think we’ve lost that quote forever then. (laughs)

AJM: It was the most brilliant thing you’ve ever said! (laughs) It sure sounded good, the little bits and pieces I’m getting.

DH: Right. A man of few words. (laughs)

AJM: On that same subject though, there’s been a lot of research, from myself included, that Obama does not meet the constitutional qualifications.

DH: I think to some degree that it reflects the frustration of a conservative electorate which has itself to blame, partially, for the democrat takeover of Congress and the Presidency. In some places we had an extremely low turnout. And that frustration is manifested in grumbling about Obama’s birth place, and that he still convinced a majority of Americans to vote for him over the Republican candidate. It’s too late to grumble whether Obama met Constitutional muster in 2008. But it is not too late win the Congress back in 2010, and that is what we need to be concentrating on. People who spent days wringing their hands over his birth place could have been registering voters and helping people they know to get out and vote. Let’s say Obama hadn’t won, and old Hillary Clinton had won the nomination. With the same Republican turnout, she would have become president, with precisely the same policies.

AJM: Yep, that’s probably true. And I’m going to tell you why, at least from my perspective. His name is John McCain. I know literally dozens of conservatives, mostly conservative Republicans, who would not vote for him. We can’t repeat that kind of mistake again. I think we discussed this before: We need Reaganite, not a watered down, ‘what side of the issue will he come down on’ type of Republican. That’s why we lost. It didn’t help that Bush had become unpopular to start with.

Anyway, the point I was making about Arizona’s law – yeah its water under the bridge for 2008 – but Arizona and other states are going to hopefully make it a requirement going forward. Not counting on it eliminating him, but there is a chance. From the research I’ve done and seen, his birth circumstances are pretty iffy.

DH: Yeah. I don’t know of anyone who has made it conclusive, or who has conclusively followed that trail of investigation. It could happen, but you can’t depend on it happening. But I do know that elections are won and lost by purposeful people who turnout to support good candidates.
