Then there's that small matter with the image layers in Obama's PDF doc.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Cripes. How many of these stories will we have to endure?

[skeeter]

Some will accuse the media of instituting a double standard when it comes to these two cases because Cruz is a Republican and Obama is a Democrat.

Of course they will. Because its true.

BTW what are we to make of Obama applying as a foreign student at Harvard, Aaaaron?

Orly Taitz is warming up her on-line law degree...

[Lee'sGhost]

Of course the biggest difference, OBAMA CLAIMED HE WAS FROM KENYA!!!!

[Boogieman]

True, there was actually room for doubt about Obama’s birth, due to conflicting stories that he told.

[MajorMartin]

Humor this senior citizen whose memory is not what it once was. I don’t recall there being any dispute that Obama’s mother was a US citizen. If that is so, why would it have made any difference if he had in fact been born in Kenya. Wouldn’t his mother’s citizenship have conferred US citizenship on him under the 1790 act, just as Cruz’s mother’s citizenship makes the fact of his Canadian birth irrelevant? Or am I missing something here?

...more specifically, conspiracy theories about whether the president was born in the United States, as he claimed, and whether he somehow forged a birth certificate that said he was born in Hawaii.

Get back to me on that when you have his college transcripts.

Some will accuse the media of instituting a double standard when it comes to these two cases because Cruz is a Republican and Obama is a Democrat.

And "some" would be correct.

Questions about Cruz's eligibility have everything to do with interpretation of the law; the questions about Obama's eligibility had everything to do with a dispute over the underlying facts - more specifically, conspiracy theories about whether the president was born in the United States, as he claimed, and whether he somehow forged a birth certificate that said he was born in Hawaii.

????????????????

Totally ignores the Vattel-based theory about "natural born citizen."

I think that definition doesn't fly, but an awful lot of the birthers do.

[Dr.Deth]

Why Ted Cruz ‘birthers’ are not the same as Obama birthers

Because one of them plays for our team, and one does not.

Aaron Blake is seriously an idiot.
