(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Three-in-ten Americans think their current head of state was not born in the United States, according to a poll by Angus Reid Strategies. 70 per cent of respondents believe Barack Obama was born in the U.S., while 30 per cent do not.
While only 13 per cent of Democratic Party supporters believe Obama was not born in the U.S., the proportion rises to 25 per cent among Independents and 51 per cent among Republican Party backers.
In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2008, Democratic nominee Obama secured a majority of electoral votes, defeating Republican candidate John McCain. In January, Obama became the first African American president in U.S. history.
Article II of the U.S. Constitution establishes that only "natural born" American citizens are eligible to become presidents.
Last year, the Obama campaign team released a Certification of Live Birth, which states that Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Aug. 4, 1961. The State of Hawaii only allows for the release of an original birth certificate under "extenuating circumstances."
Earlier this month, former House majority leader Tom Delay discussed his views on Obama’s birth, saying, "Why wouldn’t the president of the United States show the American people his birth certificate? You have to show a birth certificate to play Little League baseball. It’s a question that should be answered. It’s in the Constitution that you have to be a natural born citizen of the United States to be president."

What I’d like to know his just how do Black Americans relate to him?
He is not a decendent of Slaves.
He has no Black American heritage or culture.
He spent most of his childhood overseas. And in an apartment in Hawaii.
He was raised by typical white people.
After high school, muslim money sent to him Ivy Leage colleges.
The only thing I can see that BO has in common with other blacks is that he was abandoned by his father.
And yet.... Blacks identify with him.
Senator Byrd has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, which makes it Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
LOL. If she helps us get rid of Ears, she can have the rest of his term.
Between innings at the All-Star game, he was chatting with Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, and said he “was raised in Hawaii”, but nothing about being born there. I found that a bit odd.
This thread is in violation of the Net Neutrality Laws, please comply ... The next 44 posts must come from MoveOn.Org
LOL. We are going to shove Net Neutrality right back up Obama’s ass.
That is exactly what has happened with Obama. It shows the insights and wisdom of our founding fathers.
Not long ago, on FR, an English person pointed out that the Kenyans hated the English colonials and overthrew them with the help of Marxists. They pointed out that Obama shows all the hatred of the English and the affinity for Marxism that is typical of educated post-colonial Kenyans.
Kenyans of the colonial era also would smile to deceive their overlords, not revealing their hatred of their white overlords. Obama is doing the same thing. He smiles so everyone will not catch on that he hates the whites and he hates our traditions. And he hates America being what he regards as the overlords of the world.
According to the After-Birthers, we make FR look bad by bringing Obama’s birth place and citizenship into question. There’s a whole lot of us. LoL!
Funny how well the African countries are doing in this post colonial era too.

Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.
“What I’d like to know his just how do Black Americans relate to him?”
Because he tuns on the ghetto accent whenever he speaks to them.
So did Hillary, if I recall. LOL
Wonder who his puppetmasters are? Aside from Ayers, that is.
This is an extenuating circumstance, beyond any other that can be imagined.
