Boss, BHO is the illegitimate son of a genuine American citizen. So, he's a natural born citizen. And one lucky bastard.

Illegitimate, because Mama Obama was not legally married to Papa Obama. He was already married to a lady (possibly two) in dear old Kenya. That enabled her to get rid of the wife-beating drunkard in a hurry when she had to. So, the worst that could be said about BHO is that he is a a dual citizen of Kenya and the US, or at least eligible for Kenyan citizenship on top of his American status. Hell, this weird, sweet-talkin' Chicago commie race-pimp might even be a triple citizen, depending upon whether or not Mama Obama's replacement husband, the Indonesian Soetoro, adopted the cute little rascal.

The COLB could be phony as hell, but still quite beside the point.

I must apologize for dumbly disinforming. There is a lot more to this brouhaha than I realized, including exactly where this guy was born and the issue of dual nationality. Even though BHO is a genuine American citizen, he may indeed be ineligible to hold the office of POTUS. It's a mess and his people are no help at all.

the question becomes WHY would they prefer to obfuscate rather than playing it straight?
