Hm?....Interesting.

Sticky, I suspect that some of the recent posters defending Obama actually get paid to do this.

It’s implied in the “natural born citizen” clause under the requirements for president.

Has anyone seen this article in the Huffington Post?

The Only Thing Weirder Than The Birthers....are the anti-Birthers

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-joseph/the-only-thing-weirder-th_b_248227.html

“Most American’s aren’t Birthers or anti-Birthers, but we are beginning to wonder why the president doesn’t put this one to rest once and for all. Every day he allows this circus to continue is another day that he behaves less like the President of the United States facing weird accusations from fringe groups and more like a strange politician flying to Argentina to visit his soul-mate while pretending to be hiking the Appalachians.”
++++++++++++++++

Hmmmm....interesting...

What if a long form birth certificate doesn’t exist for a person who is otherwise qualified?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

They would present the high quality evidence presented by previous presidents.

The evidence would be **self-evident**! U.S. citizens would be more than available to stand forward and **testify** before God that they knew the mother and father well, that they visited the mom and newborn at home or in the hospital, that they brought meals over to the new family, attended the christening, and witnessed the newborn grow to adulthood.

I am 62 years old and there are still friends, neighbors, and relatives who could testify before God of my origins. The testimony of citizens is the **highest** quality evidence possible. Where are the friends, neighbors, and relatives in Obama’s life?

Oh?...I see. Obama doesn't have any citizens to testify before God to vouch for his natural born status.

OK...Then Obama can present a **lesser** form of evidence. He can produce a long form birth certificate, marriage and divorce papers of his parents, passports, repatriation oaths, secret service records, driver licenses, social security applications, and adoption records if there are any. He can explain how he managed to attend school in Indonesia, who paid for his college expenses, and show scholarship and college admission records.

But...I really feel sorry in a way for Obama. I have never met anyone so disconnected from his early family, friends, relatives, and neighbors. It's as if he were Mork from Ork.

Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen, and his mother was too young at 18 to transmit citizenship if Obama was born outside the United States. That is why Obama was under a greater than usual obligation to provide the best documentation available proving his birthplace. Americans should not have to wonder about the legitimacy of their president. A presidential candidate should not burden the country with such a concern.

Prior to the Democratic presidential primary, Obama should have said something like this: "I know that the circumstances of my childhood are somewhat unusual, and that some of you may doubt that I qualify as a natural born citizen. Therefore I have directed the State of Hawaii and my birth hospital to release to the public all records pertaining to my birth." If after such a request the Hawaii Department of Health had released a statement saying that they could not locate Obama's long form certificate, and if there were a good reason for the document to be missing, there would probably have been no Certifigate.

am tired of folks predicting what would happen if the truths ‘bout the BC and Natural Born Citizen status contradict election results-TRUTH alone should be the goal-let society be free to decide how to behave.
