Why not? Why does having a man like Osama Bin Laden for a father automatically mean the kid won’t turn out to be a fine American? What about the mom - you seem to be discounting her role in raising the kid.
What’s wrong with judging each man or women individually solely on their character and actions? We don’t have to lay the sins of the parents on their children.
Leave it to the judgement of the American people.

Excuse me? Didn’t the American people vote for “Hope and Change” in 2008? And don’t think it will be easy getting rid of the criminal-in-chief in Nov with all the voter fraud that’s set to take place.
Hugo Chavez would be so jealous...
So it would be the “judgement” of the American people and not what is outlined in the US Constitution that should be the determining factor on whom is “eligble” to be President of the United States?
Is that the argument?
The moms role? Drag him to Indonesia for several years, then park him at home with his Grandparents to raise him. (After they adopted him for obvious legal reasons.) Yeah, she did a bang up Job raising barry.

It is not about the sins of the parents, it is about compliance with what the law says. It says you have to be 35 years old. 34 won't do, despite the character and actions. it says you must have lived in this nation for 14 years. 13.5 is not enough, despite your character and actions. It also says you must be a "natural born citizen." Being born as both an English citizen and an American citizen at the same time is NOT a natural born citizen, and therefore you do not fit the explicit requirements of the law. No amount of Character or Actions will change the fact that someone doesn't fit the requirements.
Leave it to the judgement of the American people.
Yes, that worked out well this last time around.
It is my own personal opinion that anyone who has ever voted for a Democrat for President ought to be excluded from voting because they are either incurably insane, or irrationally stupid.
I would settle for non-government-paid taxpayers. That would take out a HUGE swath of their voters.

The media never presented the case to the American People. I don't think I ever heard the term natural born Citizen uttered by any of the major networks even once.
Present the case to the American People and Obama will have no choice but to resign.
ok...so one day, the son of Osama decides to run for office, and being an upstanding, honest sort of guy, he makes no bones about who his father was, or where he was born. He is also quite proud of being a mohammadan, and when he introduces himself, he says Hi! I’m what-his-name Osama and I’m a muslim, and I hope you will vote for me...
And that’s all there is to it really. You wouldn’t suspect him of being a Russian spy, or ask for his birth certificate, would you?
But if he placed an obviously forged abstract of a birth certificate on the Net, and sealed all his records, you might just begin to wonder...who is this man? Is he really an arab?
You see, IMO, the people who vote for the son of Osama have a right to know who he is. But thinking about it, it’s not likely the son of Osama would try it, because even he knows he couldn’t run for President because his parents weren’t born in the US.
So it’s not because his father is terrorist number one that stops him. He would still get votes, if the Democrat Party chose him as their candidate, thinking that maybe this will keep the muslims happy...
(The GOP wouldn’t, is my guess, but I’m an aussie, so what would I know?)
