President Obama is in a fix over his country of birth.
The President started to dig the hole as Senate candidate and now he is president, the hole is getting deeper and uglier, mainly because of his evasive actions. Many Democrat supporters are either ignoring the problem or are vehemently attacking "birthers" who question the President's eligibility.
Republicans are not the only ones concerned about his eligibility. Libertarians, independents, constitutionalists and even democrats are wondering why Obama is fighting so hard to hide his origin.
Unfortunately, Obama dug the hole himself, and like a hole created when a water main leaks and then bursts, the hole is expanding day by day and as it does, the fallout is increasing.
The President and his legal teams have done everything in their power to prevent anyone from accessing his real birth certificate, if he has one, but there are other lines of investigation they cannot block.
During his campaign for the Senate, he and his team touted his Kenyan birth, possibly because it made him more appealing to the voters they needed. Unfortunately, admitting to his birth in Kenya makes him ineligible for the Presidency.
So the question now is, was he really born in Kenya and he told the truth in the Senate campaign, or was he really born in Hawaii, and the Kenya story was a lie, used to deceive Illinois voters.
Obama can't have it both ways. The answer to this question will be interesting!
Of course, he could say the campaign and the reporters all got it wrong, but it will be interesting to follow the trail on this investigation and discover the sources for the AP story that documents the apparent fact that Obama was Kenyan born.
If it wasn't the truth back then, why didn't he stop the campaign using that information and why didn't he make the AP issue a retraction?
Obama supporters who say it is nobody's business, need to take a step back, imagine the president is George Bush and ask themselves the same question they should ask now. "Is it OK for the President to hide his origin and what are his motives for doing it?"
I want there to be a simple, truthful answer to these questions, but I have a strange feeling the answer is not what any of his supporters wants to hear.
I never said it was, I said they had to be citizens.
The child is automatically a natural born citizen of the country.
If the parents are not citizens, the child is not eligible to be president. Everything else yes.
Your argument of look on the internet and read what people write in forums as the basis for your belief if beyond scary.
I never said that either. I said look on the FreeRepublic. This has been rehashed so many times by people on both sides this is just beating a dead horse. I'm not going to refight this issue just for your convenience...people did research, go read it yourself.
The founders knew what they meant, they used the then-contemporary definition, you can find it in their writings, and by another poster on this very thread.
Besides, you don't know where he was born nor who the father was. I, the son of a foreign national mother know those facts about myself and so do most Americans.
Your uncurious faith in the unknown is what is scary.
The founders worst fears may well have been realized and we have a right to know the facts. What is obvious, is that our current president hates America, is doing his level best to tear it down in a hurry, and shows subservience to our enemies...Or do you deny that too?
Does that also includes your pals Bill & Hillary Clinton???
Too bad that the long term will be disastrous to everyone.
Let’s see, maybe this can help you out:

Happy thanksgiving to you as well.
Ever the uphill battle.
Congress couldn’t care less,
The judiciary is squashing every inquiry
And the msm completly ignores.
Argh
Enjoy your feast today! :)
That is NOT an accurate quote.
It has been added to.
The original quote said NOTHING about place of birth, or NBC status. Even so Dr Fukino has neither authority, nor expertise to grant NBC status!
The REAL quote, only stated that Stinky has a BC.
No other details were stated or revealed in the original EXACT statement.
More smears from smears.
Good Point - Witness Protection President. Still leaves a HUGE question tho huh? CO
BTW, the author of the posted article in this thread appears to be either ignorant or deliberately silent regarding the constitutional ramifications of Obama's place of birth.
It should be noted that, immediately after Obama's election victory for POTUS last November, the Kenyan ambassador to the US stated orally during an interview by a Detroit radio station that Obama was born in Kenya, and three different Kenyan parliamentarians stated so as well (according to the minutes of the Kenyan Parliament).
He was born in either Kenya or Canada. There are facts which point to both, with Kenya as the best bet.
I can testify, I observed, Charles Krauthammer say, President Obama was raised as I was..not BORN and raised in America. Kruathammer said, Obama was raised in Indonesia.
Some one, will find this on You Tube. (Hint)
: )
?I believe Mark Levin is right: time spent on this would be better spent on Zero?s actual record.?
I believe BOR would dedicate his entire BS *No Spin Zippo
Zone* detracting and diminishing his *Dwindeling*
Viewers constitutional concerns. BOR, needs to take a flying FLIP! If I could illustrate my middle finger I would!
Lawd! I despise that man!
Notice how suddenly Glen has been strong armed into taking a back seat to BOR. Bold Fresh Tour. Omg! How desperate Bill is! Some one pass the puke pail please!
Comprehend Krauthammer’s BLURB however you want. I listened to it twice as it was broad casted on FNC yesterday evening, and again at 4AM CST.
IMO, Krauthammer’s statement was an attention getter!
AP did nothing of the sort.
Living there age’s 6 through 10 is “reared”
Oh My I missed that court case. What court decided that one?
