I take back part of my statement.
I do recall a poster maybe a year ago trying to confuse the parents citizenship issue by, (I believe deliberately,) falsely claiming that one of the "nasty birthers" said both parents must be Natural Born Citizens. The "nasty birther" had in fact stated both parents must be Citizens at the time of birth.
“I take back part of my statement.”

Thanks for your reply.
Before other FReepers castigate me and treat me like a troll, I should point out that I lurk quite often on the inane Topix forums, and some of the obfuscation comes from that site.
I have been a loyal and active FReeper longer then most on here.
The point I have been trying to clarify is the status of the PARENTS, naturalized, or citizens at birth.
There were a number of conflicting claims on various internet sites.
I am not clear on the status of Obama’s father.
I understand that he is NOT a “natural born” citizen, and maybe not even naturalized.
Of course I know that the CANDIDATE must be a citizen at birth.
I do not need fellow FReepers jumping all over me for a simple clarification.
Some of the replies had nothing to do with my question.
Keep in mind, I live on the other side of the world, and many post go by while I sleep.
I can not go back and read all of a day’s postings.
Thanks
Extremely Extreme Extremist was going around claiming that both parents must be Natural Born Citizens back in 2009.
He accepted correction then that this was a ludicrous criteria that would render just about every American ineligible.
