Just the fact that all the candidates felt they had to answer that question means it's growing legs, IMO.

It’s very disturbing, though, that because of papers like The Hutch News refusing to correct their published statements when called on it, even the candidates don’t know that Obama’s BC has been amended and therefore has no legal merit until a special procedure is taken to determine the value of the document - a procedure that can’t be done except when the BC is actually presented as evidence to a judicial or administrative person or body.

IOW, Obama has no legal birth age, birthplace, or parents. None of that has ever been legally determined. There is not a soul on earth who can LEGALLY say how old he is, where he is born, or who his parents were unless there is a DIFFERENT document which says those things and has legal veracity.

IOW, unless he has a BC from someplace besides Hawaii, he has NO legal documentation.

There is NO WAY he “qualified” by Jan 20, 2009, as required by the 20th Amendment.

The fact that none of the newspapers will print that fact is disturbing.

I've never seen any evidence to the contrary that he is not a United States citizen."

Barack is one slick catfish! He refuses to release the one piece of evidence that tells us who his birth parents are and what hospital he was born in!

What they're all saying is that they're willing to take the word of a shameless liar Commie who wants to fundementally change the Republic, that he's eligible to be president. I, for one, don't trust that SOB as far as I could throw him.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Somebody finally got hold of the passport records for Stanley Dunham, but everything before 1965 seems to be missing...

Oops! Obama mama passport 'destroyed'

It only adds to the mystery.

There is no, real “media” anymore.

Curiosity and doubt used to be ingrained, in every “journalist” -—

Now, the political correctness in the newsroom has castrated any real “investigative journalism” -—

Unless the target is a conservative, of course!

Sue Boldra sounds like a total ditz.

She follows "I guess since it is an issue.." with "I think it's a non-issue."

When I was teaching government, that was one of the roles of the political party, was to make sure the candidates presented are acceptable and eligible. I assume during the vetting process he would have assured the party of that.

So if Obama assured the Democrats that he was eligible, that would settle the issue for the entire country, right?

I know that is a concern, and I certainly understand that is a concern.

And you probably appreciate that it is a concern, and you also believe that it is a concern, and you think that it is a concern, and...

But on the other hand, I always felt too, that if his mother is a Kansan then he would be (a citizen) by original birth.

You are wrong about that, but that's not unusual when you rely on your feelings instead of searching out facts.

Very unimpressive, not that the rest of those candidates sound much better.

LIGHTEN UP!

You can not expect a politician to go out on a limb, on this one.

Yes, I have serious doubts concerning Obama and I am sure Obama has lied, repeatedly, about his past.

However, this is NOT the hill we want all of our conservative candidates to die on, is it?

specifically, whether the Big First congressional candidates believe President Obama is a legitimate U.S. citizen.

The mainstream press conistently misrepresents the question. The question is whether he is a natural born citizen. Whether he is a US citizen is a totally different matter. He can be a citizen of the US without being a natural born citizen. A natural born citizen means that BOTH of his parents were citizens of the US at the time of his birth. According to his autobiography (his own words) they were not. Therefore he is not eligible to be POTUS.

I wish that the media would write accurately when discussing this.

If the son of Adolph/Mao/Stalin isn't eligible, then why would the son of British Kenyan?

Not our president! Ineligible!

I don’t expect politicians of either party to `go out on a limb,’ period. Ever.
Like the man said: they’re yellow.

I was taught in high school what a natural born citizen was, and that only a natural born citizen could be President. Have our schools really fallen that far?

Everything before 1965 was destroyed...Are we sure that Stanley Ann had a passport before 1965? She was very young.She didn’t need a passport to move to Hawaii. She didn’t need a passport to move back the WAshington to go to school. She wouldn’t have needed a passport to go to Canada where some people think that POTUS was born. She wouldn’t have needed a passport until she married Soetero and moved to Indonesia.

In all the reading I have done about this family, I have never heard that they traveled to other countries when SA was growing up. People in 1961 just didn’t travel all over the place at a drop of a hat. We didn’t have charge cards to finance such things: you had to have cash.

If she didn’t travel to Kenya she would have no need for a passport.

The rule of law is a hill we will all die on, if we don’t find a way to get some of it. And that’s what this is about. These candidates are all saying they trust that the government did this and that.

Anybody at this point who says, “I trust that the government.....” is way, way too naive to represent me. They just don’t get it.

I have seen government, media, and law enforcement either turn a blind eye and refuse to investigate crimes, or else commit the crimes themselves - at every level.

No way in heck will anybody get me to believe that this is not a serious issue. Without the rule of law what difference does it make who we elect or what they say they’ll concentrate on? Without the rule of law - without laws being enforced - the whole legislative branch is a total waste of time.

If these people don’t understand that, then they don’t have even a basic grasp of how our Founders framed this nation, how it is supposed to work, or why.

It’s depressing to even think about this. How I ache for people who get it and who aren’t afraid to stand above the crowd and tell the world that they get it - and then actually lead as if they get it.

Article says the ‘65 record is a renewal, meaning she must have had a passport before that. Why?

“Madam of the Swamp” Pelosi and Alice Travis Germond-Secretary of the DNC, sent out TWO...count ‘em..TWO different Documents of Certification for the “Won’s” eligibility.

Something STINKS in the swamp and they’re covering their asses with the media’s help.

Exactly. I'm sick of politicians. I want leaders...people who will go out on a limb because it's the right thing to do.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

This is true.. How ever this reminds me of the movie, the final conflict with Sam Niel as the devils son. Where no body does anything to uncover who or what he is. And if they do well in the movies case they come to a horrible end.. With reality they just get destroyed in the press.. So I agree a bit... It is a risky position.
