OBAMA ADMITS HE WAS A BRITISH CITIZEN "AT BIRTH" - AS SUCH, OBAMA IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES
Barack Obama's official web site, Fight The Smears, admits he was a British Citizen at birth. At the very bottom of the section of his web site that shows an alleged official Certification Of Live Birth, the web site lists the following information and link thereto: FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship
“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”
That is a direct admission Barack Obama was a British citizen "at birth".

FYI
Not this sh|t again...
The little girls will be along any minute now to whine about how it makes us look to talk about this.
Assuming he was born in Hawaii, yes.
Hawaii became a state in 1959. He was born in Hawaii in 1961. That makes him a natural born citizen, regardless of his father's citizenship.
^^^OBAMA IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES^^^
Umm, isn’t Hawaii part of the US?
I think British subject rather than citizen.
Same sh!t different day.
WE can’t let an antiquated, pesky document like the Constituution stand in the way of what’s right.

Was he?
He says he was, but seems oddly unwilling to disclose his birth certificate.

Sorry, that particular dog won’t hunt. As a minor, he could be both a natural born US citizen and a UK citizen. This has been explored.
There are other legit questions about his citizenship status, though.
Yes. Prove he was born there and this entire conversation goes away.
Uhm, well, he’s really Zanzibarbarian.
If he was indeed born in Hawaii, then he is also a US citizen and a native-born one at that.
While I dislike Obama as much as anyone, and I do have legitimate questions about his past, if this is how it works out, it doesn’t matter.
A child can have dual citizenship at birth - happens all the time. The fact that his British/Kenyan citizenship “expired” in 82 leaves him solely a US citizen, who was native born, assuming he was born in Hawaii.
