For instance, Sarah Palin claims to have been born in Idaho, but I haven't seen any proof of it. No birth certificate. No doctor's name. No public witnesses. And significantly, the city she claims to have been born in was only 50 miles from the Canadian border. Calgary, a MUCH larger city, is closer to Sandpoint than even the state capital of Boise. How do we know that Sarah Palin is a natural born citizen, and wasn't born during a weekend trip to Calgary?

However for instances, we know that Obama had a Kenyan father who transmitted his foreign citizenship to him. We know he went to an Indonesian school where the school document says he is an Indonesian citizen after he was probably adopted by Soetoro.

We know from the words of the Kenyan parliament minutes that they think Obama is "native to the soil" and "son of the land" of Kenya of many other Obama comments that were made by them of Obama being from Kenya, which were transcribed on the 5th of November 2008. We don't know of the whereabouts of Stanley Ann Dunham for 6 months in early 1961 while she was pregnant with Obama. Was she in Kenya? We know a Kenyan birth certificate was submitted to a Federal Court as genuine that has not been disproved to be such.

We know that a Detroit radio station on the 5th November 2008 called the Kenyan Embassy who all but admitted to Obama being from Kenya.

We know Obama's paternal grandmother said that Obama was born in Kenya who then was correct or she corrected herself right after she made the comment. Do we believe her that she was telling the truth in former or latter?

And you guys still think Obama is a Natural Born Citizen. LoL!

So what evidence do you have that Palin was born in Canada? Hmmmmmmm?

I don't know if Biden or Palin or any other Presidential candidate inherited a dual citizenship at birth. Maybe they did. It's a funny thing that no one has ever asked a Presidential candidate if he (or she) had a dual foreign citizenship at birth, until some people started saying it made Obama ineligible.

For instance, Ralph Nader is the son of immigrants. I'd say there's a fair chance he was born with dual citizenship. He's run for President three or four times, and made a pretty substantial impact once. Yet no one ever asked him about his parents' citizenship status at the time of his birth during ANY of those campaigns.

We know he went to an Indonesian school where the school document says he is an Indonesian citizen after he was probably adopted by Soetoro.

That's the same document that says he was born in Hawaii, right?

We know from the words of the Kenyan parliament minutes that they think Obama is "native to the soil" and "son of the land" of Kenya of many other Obama comments that were made by them of Obama being from Kenya, which were transcribed on the 5th of November 2008.

Even assuming they meant "He was born here!" (which isn't what they said at all), why, exactly, would random Kenyan parliament members be a reliable authority on where Obama was born?

We don't know of the whereabouts of Stanley Ann Dunham for 6 months in early 1961 while she was pregnant with Obama.

We don't know the whereabouts of ANY President's mother prior to their births. At least not with any more evidence than we know that Ann Dunham was in Hawaii. I'm not sure I have any proof of where MY mom was for six months before she was born, even though I know where she was. Here we seem to have a standard of proof that's being applied to Obama that's ridiculously far beyond what's ever been asked of a President.

We know that a Detroit radio station on the 5th November 2008 called the Kenyan Embassy who all but admitted to Obama being from Kenya.

And why would some guy Obama had probably never met be an authority on where Obama was born?

We know Obama's paternal grandmother said that Obama was born in Kenya who then was correct or she corrected herself right after she made the comment. Do we believe her that she was telling the truth in former or latter?

The latter.

Interesting fact, btw. The 'Obama was born in Kenya' rumors started circulating the web in spring 2008. By summer, some people claimed (falsely) that his relatives had claimed to be present for his birth. It took until October 2008 for the conversation with the grandmother to take place, which was the first thing even *approaching* supporting evidence to come out.

In other words, the rumor floated around for half a year with NO evidence. None available then, and none that was subsequently revealed as having been around then. Months upon months of empty, unsubstantiated allegations and rumors, eventually resulting in somebody finally producing something resembling evidence that would support those allegations.

So what evidence do you have that Palin was born in Canada?

I have as much evidence as there was between March and October 2008 that Obama was born in Kenya. And I have a theory that's substantially more probable than an undocumented trip to a third-world nation halfway around the world. Since this rumor's just getting started, it means I have until May 2010 to get somebody to say in a telephone conversation that she was born in Canada (even if they immediately retract it, because that just means they're lying).
