Obama IS a U.S. citizen, says exasperated White House (not telling the whole truth)
Reuters ^ | July 27, 2009 | Ross Colvin

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A vocal group of conspiracy theorists known as "birthers" are riling the White House with their persistent claim that Barack Obama is not an American citizen and therefore ineligible to be president. The claim that the United States' first African-American president was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, first emerged during his presidential campaign, but it has garnered more media attention in the summer "silly season," a traditionally slow news period when many Americans are on vacation. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs looked exasperated at his briefing on Monday when a reporter asked him, "Is there anything you can say that will make the birthers go away?"

I found this article at news.google.com on the front page. Note that they won't actually address the term "natural born citizen."

Per Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, one must be a natural born American citizen to serve as President. Barack Obama is NOT eligible for the Presidency because he is not a natural born citizen. John A. Bingham, primary framer, 14th Amendment, states- "Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen." Obama himself has stated that he is the son of a Kenyan- Kenya being a foreign sovereignty. Thus, Obama is not a natural born citizen even if he were actually born in Hawaii.

Hey everybody;

Let’s E-Mail CNN and thank Lou Dobbs for covering the Obama “non natural born citizen” issue. Ask them to continue covering it and require that Obama presents his original long form birth certificate to prove whether he is eligible to serve as President since he may not be a natural born citizen:

You'd be exasperated, too, if you didn't have a neck. Or a clue.

I personally find the birthers extremely entertaining, because I love watching the incredible discomfort they cause the Enemy.

And hey, what if they are on to something?

Gibbs is irritated?? Then stop trying to pawn off on us the COUNTERFEIT document.

The COUNTERFEIT in the white house is trashing the the American way of life and he only has a Counterfeit birth certificate and he is a FRAUD? Oh, yeah, Gibbs, that has got to make you anxious because we won't play your lying game.Funny? oh, a riot!!
What is really really serious is that we have a COUNTERFEIT person in the White House using a COUNTERFEIT birth certificate. Therefore, every bill he signs, every decision he makes he FRAUD upon the American people. He has already done irreversible damage to this country and HE IS NOT EVEN ELIGIBLE TO BE DOG CATCHER, much less pres.

The evidence is plain and right here with all supporting documentation. You can ignore it all you want, you can ridicule right out of the socialist Alinsky book, but YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE FACTS. Lies change, TRUTH does not. Already the obamanation has spent nearly a million dollars (whose money did he spend?) on keeping his secrets... Does an innocent person do that? NO. He has used over 39 social security numbers of other people, and had over 135 different addresses. This is TRUE AND PROVABLE

The Fraud Of Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama)

It’s the same syndrome as when Hitlery as COPOTUS sincerely asked a TV interviewer (from memory): “Do I look like I murdered someone?” Professor Kaczynski, dressed in a Brooks Brothers suit, should have thought of that! It works every time.

John A. Bingham, primary framer, 14th Amendment, states- "Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen."

Did Mr. Bingham have a really bad case of Attention Deficit Disorder and not bother with putting that line in the 14th Amendment or was there some other reason that Bingham's definition of 'natural born citizen' did not make it into the 14th?

Gibbs won’t even address the issues. Obama could have been born in the White House and he’s still NOT a natural born citizen (although I believe he was born in Kenya).

Per Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, one must be a natural born American citizen to serve as President. Barack Obama is NOT eligible for the Presidency because he is not a natural born citizen. John A. Bingham, primary framer, 14th Amendment, states- “Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” Obama himself has stated that he is the son of a Kenyan- Kenya being a foreign sovereignty. Thus, Obama is not a natural born citizen even if he were actually born in Hawaii.

Do you know who Barack Obama is? Is he NOT a natural born citizen? Check these out-

Original birth certificate - Not released
Obama/Dunham marriage license - Not released
Soetoro/Dunham marriage license - Not released
Soetoro adoption records - Not released
Besuki School application - Released
Punahou School records - Not released
Selective Service Registration - Released and under suspicion
Occidental College records - Not released
Passport (Pakistan) - Not released
Columbia College records - Not released
Columbia thesis - Not released
Harvard College records - Not released
Harvard Law Review articles - None (maybe 1, unsigned?)
Baptism certificate - None
Medical records - Not released
Illinois State Senate records - None
Illinois State Senate schedule - Lost
Law practice client list - Not released
University of Chicago scholarly articles - None

Now Hawaii officials are saying that all birth certificates were destroyed in 2001. But on October 31, 2008, this contrary statement-

“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record. Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.”

Same here!

It clearly upsets the Obamunists greatly so if they keep jabbing I am quite happy! LOL

So only two things can it be. It is true, or not true. So only two things remain, they are hiding something or they are so insecure of their messiah they are compelled to protect him from fringe groups.

Seriously, why do they just ignore it and it becomes fringe?
Not like the MSM wouldn’t help make it fringe for them.

Like Obama himself, they don’t know when to shut up about something.

And to think, for only about a lousy $12, this whole thing could be cleared up quickly.

Birthers allege that the President “may not be” a natural born citizen because he hasn’t provided the documentary proof that would satisfy even the U.S. Passport agency to obtain a U.S. passport.

This lack of full disclosure by Obama is a fact and it extends to withholding his school records and other records regarding his involvement in questionable dealings with shady persons in Chicago.

GWB opened up his entire past life’s records for public scrutiny and when the press couldn’t find that much in his records to go after him with, the press went after him over alleged misdoings for which there was no paper trail or evidence other than hearsay by people with marginal reputations. The press screamed bloody murder over perceived “secrecy” when documents that probably didn’t exist were never produced for their examination, thus putting the Bush administration in a position of proving a negative.

And that doesn’t even cover the way the MSM is covering the economy right now. The optimism and positivism in the news even while our economy continues to circle around the abyss which Obama’s health care and cap and trade policies promise to stuff our nation’s fortunes into is abysmal and nauseating.

And the rest of the world is waking up faster than most Americans as to what an economically and militarily weak America means for them. Our allies think we’re crazy for not seeing what Obama is doing to our country, and our enemies are giddy with joy.

I don’t believe a word the Occupiers of the White House say.....I want Physical Evidence...Not good enough to say your a citizen............

I’m tired of the Press bending over and just taking the Obama White House at its word..........

If this was Sarah Palin or John McCain in the White House the press would have hounded them day and night for the last 6 months.....

It could very well be true that he's a citizen.In fact,I'm willing to assume that he is.

But is he a "NATURAL BORN" CITIZEN,as required by that "living document" (according to leftists),the Constitution of the United States of America?

Given that Obama’s been proven a shameless liar about such a laundry list of things, why would anyone believe him about anything, even the weather? He’s withheld every bit of documentation about himself. If anyone made up a story about up what has transpired in the U.S.A. with Obama’s becoming president, no one would buy the script because it’s just too far-fetched. Any one of the things known about him should have been enough to send him to the bottom of hopefuls.

No doubt he is a citizen. The problem comes in when reading the Constitution and does he satify the requirements of being President. Survey says————NO!
