What? Jefferson said this 10 years before the Constitution was written (if he indeed said it at all- please cite this quote) and he was certainly not referring to eligibility to be president.
Besides, his father was born in Kenya.
McCain was born under the jurisdiction of an American military base and he is not president.
I think the whole thing was a taunt to MSNBC. They can't quite keep themselves from reporting on Rush's every utterance. This had to cause them quite a bit of consternation. Do we report it? Will that make the issue bigger?
Makes me laugh.
I agree, he waited until the right time to start talking about it...just when the MSM figured they had it all quieted down..and those that were talking about it could be dismissed as nut cases....Now 20 million people can rise up again...
Technically he didn't. He said that nobody has seen his birth certificate, which nobody has. A COLB is not a birth certificate.
Point taken ... I sit corrected.
Maybe the number on the certificate is 666?
I agree with you. You notice how Rush will, when new news is breaking, hold off a day or two on commenting or even bringing it up. I suspect it is to check the credibility of a story in order to maintain his. If that is lost, so is his effectiveness as a commentator,and he is the biggest mouthpiece for us out there. Look what the GM (government media) did to the Swiftboaters. They took one comment by one of the men, in which he said he wished he had been a little more careful about his wording on some fairly minor point, and used it to label them as "The Discredited Swiftboaters." As a result, the term "swiftboating" has become synonymous with slander or libel; to the Left and means 'exposing lies' to those one the right.
The Constitution states you must be born in this country to be eligible for the presidency.
McCain...is not president.
My comment, of course had nothing to do with if McCain is or is not president.
He was not born in the United States.
He was eligible which was all I was making clear.
He’s a great and wise man.
Have to disagree with you here. Rush doesn't throw stuff like this out there without knowing the response he's going to get. He said it in the first hour. Then for good measure, he REPEATED it after the newsbreak. That's when he told the jokes about Zero and God.
I wuz listenin'.
The issue is not going away until it is resolved.
My double mantra:
What is he Hiding and Why?
and
Does the Constitution still matter?
A lot of data out there on the issue.

Pass it on. . .
Hey all! Spread this around, email to your friends!! Awesome Rush!

Part 1 Rush Limbaugh: Obama is Destroying the Economy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in1AovV3zgU&feature=haxa_popt00us10
Technically he said flat out, the FIRST time, that neither one of them HAS a Birth Certificate.
The SECOND time:
"RUSH: What do Obama and God have in common? Neither has a birth certificate. How do they differ? God does not think he's Obama. And there's another difference between God and Obama, and that is that liberals love Obama."
Rush said Obama does not have a borth certificate that anyone has seen
That is why I said technically what Rush said was true. I thought the above was what Rush had actually said.
Actually, the way Rush said it was as an absolute. This could get really interesting really fast.
Provided Rush sticks with it and counters their responses. If he just makes one comment, the MSM will laugh it off and point to the COLB and the outright lie that Hawaii has verified the COLB and has stated that he was born in Hawaii.
Maybe they were thinking of FactCheck.org
Mr. Obama going after Mr. Limbaugh in court would just put the issue front-and-center where everyone could see it: Can you imagine what the Drudge Report, UK newspapers, Washington Times, Fox News, talk radio, etc. could do with this if BHO were stupid enough to go after Rush? Everyone on Earth would have heard about it within a week!
