Birth of a nation: Too many Americans buy crank theory on Obama's citizenship
New York Daily News ^ | Saturday, August 1st 2009

Posted on 08/01/2009 1:38:58 PM PDT by presidio9

There's Red America, Blue America and Tinfoil Helmet America. And it looks like the third camp is enormously larger than anyone feared.

A new poll, commissioned by the liberal Web site Daily Kos found that fully 11% of Americans think that Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States. And another 12% said that they are unsure.

The doubters are heavily concentrated in the Republican Party, according to pollsters. An amazing 58% of the surveyed Republicans questioned whether Obama, in fact, entered the world in Hawaii.

What this means: Millions of Americans suspect or are convinced that Obama, son of a Kenyan father, is not a citizen and thus cannot legitimately serve as President. And no Hawaiian birth certificate or newspaper announcement from the time will convince them otherwise.

Who are these people? They're the ones whose feet are not planted on U.S. soil - or any soil.

I believe the Coie-Perkins firm’s bills are being paid through Obama campaign funds. The campaign has to file quarterly with the FEC.

Coie-Perkins represented the campaign committee through the election, and has continued representation of Obama/Biden in the various eligibility law suits across the country (except where US Attorneys offices have stepped in).

Look I try to be cool headed — as serious as I take this.

But this is war and we have enough problems getting this message out without this troll pushing everything to the back every time “it” posts!

All we are asking... is uphold the Costitution like you swore to do. You swore it twice or you swore something, we weren’t witnesses to the second time.

“However, I still push for the state law to enact legislation to require a candidate to show his birth certificate or else he cannot be on the ballot in that state...”

WE ALL AGREE!

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO DOESNT?

THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT!

NOW WHY DON’T YOU GO DO IT!

Only the ones who are telling you that it’s *not true* that there is *no legal requirement* for a candidate to show his birth certificate.

And anyone who says that a state law that requires candidates to show their birth certificate or else they cannot be on the ballot — wouldn’t solve the problem... LOL...

Those would be the imbeciles..

The Constitution ALREADY provides for the need to verify a person’s eligibility for President. See post 156

Wrong again! That states he's SEEKING the nomination. The statement Pelosi signs states that he IS the candidate and is Constitutionally qualified.

Do more research. Goodbye.

He swore that he was a natural born citizen based upon the proof document lying in the birth certificate file. Now that we know he lies easily and facilely, we would like to see this “proof”, we don’t need any more laws for our so called legislators to ignore and show their contempt for us by ignoring our simple requests, based on our Constitutioal rights, given to us by our Creator. They are supposed to be working for us.

You have logically explained how to proceed in this matter. Well done. Great post.

Okay, so apparently this means you’re one of those who is against such a state law... okay... I understand...

I agree, but I can't control what "it" posts , I can however beat "it" up a little for doing it, and have a little fun too :)
