I have seen this before and I agree with most of it, however, whoever made this video is mistakenly reporting false info in regards to McCain

Comparing Obama's birth to McCain can be somewhat misleading.

On the other hand, like you, I too "agree with most of it."

The most important point is that the founders were concerned -- lest foreign powers corrupt the executive branch.

Requiring the executive to be born of two citizen parents ("natural born")would seem to go a long way toward preventing such a mishap, whereas, born of a non-citizen father would seem to leave a lot of wiggle room for abuse of the presidency... abuse that I find it hard to believe the sagacious framers of the constitution would have allowed.

In, any case, I avoid confusion by focusing on what I believe to be the original intent of the founders in this case, namely: to prevent undue foreign influence on the executive.

That said, Obama may have problems even IF he were born in Hawaii.

STE=Q,

Thank you and I too like you. I also appreciate all your efforts. We all need to stick together to report the truth and educate to save our Republic.

As you, I too believe our national security is the most issue at hand and I am not against children born to military being eligible, but it needs to be changed in the proper and legal manner.

The congress has had this in the works for nearly a decade and to get McCain through, they dropped their efforts for ALL military and reworded it for just “John Sidney McCain III” which was completely ‘unconstitutional and McCain being the decorated and highly respected naval officer he was, he should have stepped up and did the honorable thing and pushed for the original bill, in its original form that referred to ALL military families.

With that one indiscretion, McCain lost my support and my respect. He put politics ahead of country and national security by helping to put the smoke screen up for Obama and his eligibility problem.

So now, we shall pray that Leo & TerriK ‘s effort are fruitful. It is all in God's hands and his plan for this nightmare we are in will soon unfold.
