Finally-someone with a brain. We should oppose Obama, but lets not be distracted by this nonsense.

Of course, if Obama had not been born in U.S. territory and only his mother was a U.S. citizen at the time, then he did not meet the then-current criteria for being a natural born citizen. If later he did manage to acquire citizenship, he would have been only a naturalized citizen and, hence, ineligible for the office of the presidency. Against his website's claims that a forged certificate of live birth at the Daily KOS was the real thing, there is his grandmother's and half-brother and sister's claim that they were present at his birth in Kenya. In addition, he has done nothing to demonstrate his U.S. birth and has resisted court challenges to do so (on the basis of the info resulting from such a disclosure being "extremely embarrassing" both to him and to the DNC).
