Because the point you seem to be trying to make is nonsense.
21. So this means the public hasn't been informed of this dual citizenship by the MSM. No other presidential candidate has ever held citizenship in another country so this is a very interesting biographical fact that has NOT been reported to the public. It doesn't disqualify Obama but it shows this information has been suppressed until now.
While I agree in principle the fact is that Obama posture and of his surrogates and media syncophants is that this was simply a smear and a lie. Now they finally admit it wasn't which highlights the question - "Why were you denying this before?"
By the way, I thought it was kind of funny that you wrote "duel citizenship" when obviously you meant "dual citizenship." And yet in a way "duel citizenship" makes sense in that being a citizen of two countries could create a "duel" internally for one's loyalties. Doesn't mean one is not loyal to both just that often their is no perfect parity of affection.
Because, until now, this dual citizenship story has been suppressed. Having once held dual citizenship is an important biographical fact. Never reported by the MSM. If McCain or Palin once held dual citizenship, it would have been all over the news.
I wouldn't say suppressed. I'd say ignored, because it is completely irrelevant. The whole Kenyan citizenship was a bureacratic matter that was resolved when he turned 18. Obama did nothing to acquire dual citizenship and he did nothing to retain it. If he had, then you'd have a story.
I understand that in the recent past if you had gone to DU and other similar sites you would have seen a whole series of posts, much like this one of yours, questioning McCain's qualification for the presidency since he was born in Panama. Some may well have made the same claims about dual citizenship in Panama. None of that got any play in the MSM, I imagine because it too was irrelevant.
It’s a non-issue in a sense because everyone can obtain a COLB...its common, BUT BHO CAN’T FIND HIS! He’s responsible for keeping this story alive BECAUSE HE CAN’T MAKE IT GO AWAY by producing a COLB!
Big Red Flag!
The Obama ads on Drudge are part of a network buy — Obama’s ad planners buy online ads by the 100’s of thousands of impressions. Drudge is just one of perhaps dozens of news and politics sites where Obama ads run. The top spot of Drudge is often allocated to Tribalfusion client ads; TF is a network with wide reach across the web and the Drudge top position, IMO, is one of the best ad units on the web — way above the fold and uncluttered by naviagation, mastheads, or other content.
Obama’s folks wouldn’t pull the ad unless Drudge went off the deep end and was involved in some sort of scandal.
"to the MSM, everything McCain or Palin do is a MAJOR issue."
obama didn't "do" anything except be born with a Kenyan father.
Anything he did (and there's a lot there) is fair game but unless you can tell me how he is responsible for who is father is this is a non-issue.
Please add me to the list. Thank you!
Before there was a push to "correct" the record Kenyans and Obama's own family were proud to say he was born there.....
At least until someone figured out if he was Kenyan born then he couldn't be president, then stories changed or just disappeared.
We should be able to beat him on the issues and thanks to a completely unbiased and nonpartisan press corps accurately delivering the facts instead of greasing the ways for the Obama ship of state we will.
Please add me to you list. I love Newsbusters!
Circulating a known fake certificate as authentic is sufficient for me to question if he is a "natural born citizen".
.
Really, the problem seems to be that Obama cannot provide credible evidence that he was born in Hawaii, not that anyone need prove he was born elswhere.
It should be up to him to prove it, not up to everyone else to simply accept his claims.
I'll bet that McCain, Palin, and Biden can all produce original, authentic birth documents and a supporting paper trail. Can Obama? So far seems not.
He doesn't have to.
It should be up to him to prove it, not up to everyone else to simply accept his claims.,p> The onus is on those making the the charged to prove their case, not the one the charges are leveled at. The whole 'innocent until proven guilty' deal. And to date nobody has shown any evidence he was not born in Hawaii.

Because neither he, nor Palin or McCain or Biden...or Bush or Kerry or Gore are/were required to do so.
No evidence, huh? Well better luck next time.
Bailout break ping!
To you, as yours is to me.
There is another BIG REASON that this story needs to have legs. There is the ODinga angle - a family of Kenyan Marxists, Raila the current prime minister of Kenya whom Obama supported with a visit[s] and LOTS OF MONEY.
