He said dwelling on the issue of whether Obama is eligible to hold office distracts from the Republican message on jobs , education and fiscal conservatism.

Wrong Senator. Demanding BO/BS obey the Constitution is not a distraction. It should be the central issue and of paramount concern for all Americans. Ignoring the natural born citizenship requirement in Article 2 Section 1 will allow foreigners who have no allegiance to destroy the country. We ignore this fundamental concept at our own peril.

"But I'm going to tell you something," he said. "When you walk out on the street down here, people don't really care about this issue."

THAT is the problem and it's sad to say that it's not only, everyday Americans .. It's the Damn politicians themselves!

**Ignoring the natural born citizenship requirement in Article 2 Section 1 **

You have pointed out the total ignorance of the uneducated masses (and the educated elite)...who have been deliberately misled by the MSM.

There are millions of *naturalized Citizens* who are ineligible for POTUS - because they do not meet the *natural born citizenship requirements*.

It is possible that BO is both - not a natural born citizen OR a naturalized citizen. He would have had to be one or the other.

The question has never been “where is he born?” It is “Is he eligible?” You are either going to protect and defend the Constitution or you are not!

The question is not whether or not he’s a citizen. Anyone can be a citizen. The issue is, is he eligible under the definition outlined in the Constitution.

This “citizen” issue is nothing more than a ruse to hide the real question. If was not born in the US, then there’s a problem. It has nothing to do with him being a citizen. Hell, Arnold is a citizen, but is not eligible to be the President under the definitions of the Constitution!

“’I don’t know whether Obama’s a U.S. citizen’”

I don’t either. Al I do know is that, in the President’s chair, he’s like a little kid that got loose backstage and he’s playing with all the controls; the houselights dim and go out, the curtain goes up and down, and somebody needs to grab that little brat by the collar and sit him in the audience

As we all know there is a saying that “Blood is thicker than water” applies to family bonds and loyalty, it also in effect applies to the “loyalty to the family” of being a loyal American citizen.

Actions speak of a mans loyalty, not his voice.

The actions of Obama since he took office are not consistent with true blood connections. He is figuratively like what some animal species do, they sneak in an egg from another nest hoping the addition will be nurtured by the mother, and often that outside the “family” egg is something else, it could be like a snake hatching in an eagles nest, and the eagle mother declines to eat the snake.

The snake grows, it eats its fellow hatchlings and grows large enough to eventually confront the mother itself.

A prophetic vision of what America is going through right now.

Obama is almost done eating its fellow hatchlings and is nearly strong enough to consume the Eagle. The Eagle, our patriotic symbol of Free America.

So now Bill O’Reilly is making the determination on whether or not Obama AKA Soetoro is a citizen based on 2 birth announcements that appeared in Hawaiian newspapers in 1962. hey Billy boy, look at the US Constitution and read it once again regarding the citizenship issue. Soetoro was adopted and moved to Indonesia, he renounced his perceived citizenship. The question is that his father had citizenship in a British protectorate in 1961. Hey Billy Boy look at the original birth certificate, not the one that Obama has provided which in fact is fraudulent. But Billy boy is the best and brightest and he is all knowing. Just like the Pissant, he knows everything. 1.8 million - 2.o million spent defending his not producing the birth certificate. Instead of the obstructionism on part of the Pissant to produce records Produce them. Bill O”reilly shut up or put up the facts. The media is so distorted on objectives, just present subjective. We Report You Decide. Should We Report Objective Truths for You to see the real news. The Constitution is an Objective Truth that Bill just does not see. Wonder if his indoctrination through the NEA (when he was a teacher)has made him blind to the realities.

It's that people don't really CARE about this issue, it's that people don't really KNOW about this issue.

And those that know a little about the issue are not deeply informed of its importance, and yet it is very important because it goes a long way in characterizing Obama, who he is and what harm he can do because of who he is.

I agree that something very fishy is going on with the BC issue.

Having said that, you all need to relax and let this come along naturally. It will stand or fall on its own merit.

Birthers remind me of someone who keeps opening the oven door to see if the turkey is done.

Mere citizenship is not the issue. All three of my adopted children are “citizens,” but none can ever run for the office of POTUS, because they are not “natural born citizens.”

It’s becoming increasingly muddled as to what a “natural born citizen” is, but I’ve read definitions which require that both parents be citizens of the US, and of no other nation.

It goes to heart of "rule of law". I am suspicious when ObaMao has gone to so much trouble to hide any documentation of his birth or education. I have seen no evidence of ZerO being a "natural born Citizen".

I do not buy O'Reilly's argument that no one would have put birth announcement in Hawaiian newspapers in anticipation of DumBO being elected Pres__ent. But, even in the 60s, there was tremendous importance in being an American over being a Kenyan.

WND has, IMHO, spread confusion on this issue, not enlightenment.

The confusion plays right into Team Obama's hands. Their objective is to totally eradicate the constitutional difference between "Citizen," and "Natural Born Citizen," making POTUS eligibility a "Civil Right," of any citizen, rather than the national security safeguard it was intended to be. By making Obama POTUS, The Electoral College has attempted to amend the Constitution without due process by making Obama the de facto POTUS. Even if he succeeds in serving out 1 term, that cannot be allowed to stand on the books. It ain't really just about Obama and the Evil Party. For example, many members of the Stupid Party are talking up Bobby Jindal. Guess what. Neither of his parents were citizens at the time of his birth. He is not a "Natural Born Citizen." He's a "Native Born Citizen." Not eligible.

The Hawaiian Birth Certificate thing is now a non-issue.
Why?
Because according to the laws of the State of Hawaii in regard to public information, Obama's documentation is available to ANY citizen who asks.

If WND were serious about seeing the Prepostor's Birth Certificate, they could go to Hawaii, get a good lawyer in Honolulu, and start taking the stonewalling Department of Health to Court. IMHO, would be a better use of their subsctribers' money than a billboard campaign. Team Obama wants to make this as adversarial as possible to stall it out beyond 2012, simply as a confusing tactic to divert attention away from the courts where they would have to prove eligibility.

I would love to see the Birth Certificate, OK? But the Constitutional issue with BHO, Jr. is really about who his father was. If his father was who Obama says he was, he is not a "Natural Born Citizen," even if it were to be found that he was born in Hawaii during a 4th of July Luau on the lawn of the Queen's Palace.

Obama just might turn out to be a "Native Born Citizen." It is all he claims to be! According to the traditional reading of the Constitution, that simply isn't enough to qualify him for the office of the President.

WND missed its big chance at immortality when they failed to get Jerome Corsi's accounts of his mission in Kenya on the national radar. Neither could WND bring attention to the sad fact that Obama (and the Weasel Dick Morris) campaigned all over Kenya, making stump appearances for Obama's "cousin" Raile Odinga, a marxist, a jihadist; whose platform called for expulsion of Christians. When he lost, he fomented a civil war, in which thousands of Kenyan Christians lost their lives. They blew a real story and now are just dealing in sensationalism by spinning their version of the Birther Issues and barely mentioning the Constitutional Issue.

Ministerstvo Bezopasnosti Rosii (Security Ministry of Russia)

Masad (Israel’s Intelligence Agency)

MI5 & MI7 (UK Intelligence & Military Intelligence)

Guojia Anquan Bu (Chinese Ministry of State Security)

Koanchosa-cho (The Public Security Intelligence Agency, Japan)

Direction Generale de la Securite Exterieure (General Directorate for External Security, France)

Bundesnachrightendienst (Federal Intelligence Service, Germany)

What do all of these foreign agencies, along with others, have in common? They all know precisely and without a doubt whether Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii, or whether he was born in Kenya.

Foreign governments and their intelligence services are well aware of the issues and conflicts in the United States with regard to Obama’s citizenship, and they have an interest for both intelligence and political purposes in knowing the truth of the matter.

One concern of intelligence officers is to know the weaknesses and strengths of foreign leaders: what things could strengthen their leadership, and what things could be used, when desirable, to weaken them, bring them down—to topple them.

Foreign governments want to uncover for themselves secrets on foreign leaders: secrets they could use for high-scale political blackmail; pressure points in political, military, or trade negotiations; propaganda; subversion; and so on.

If it might be true that Obama is not a Constitutionally eligible usurper of the presidency, and if this could be used to damage him, topple him, pressure him, or blackmail him, major foreign governments, friendly and not so friendly, want to know the truth of the matter.

If the MBR (Russia) wanted to know the birth place of Obama, how long would it take one or several of their agents to get accurate details? Certainly, they’ve already checked it out on the Kenyan end, and they know whether he was born there. They’ve already done sufficient investigation right in Obama’s family village, from where an American research seeking that information was expelled.

Now, if they wanted to discover exactly what is on Obama’s sealed birth record in Honolulu, how much trouble would it be? The certificate is not sealed to agents of the caliber of those working for any of the agencies listed above. Although “sealed” by the State of Hawaii, it is not a top secret document, not secret, nor even confidential-Need-To-Know in the sense of security classifications.

A Masad agent wouldn’t need 48 hours in Hawaii to discover the content of the birth record that Obama refuses to reveal to the American electorate. And most of that 48 hours would be on the beaches or in the clubs (Okay, he would need 72 hours, because he just loves Waikuku.). The head of Vital Statistics is not the only person in Hawaii who has seen Obama’s records, and an highly trained intelligence officer would not have any problem discovering who has had access to them.

And of course, our own Central Intelligence Agency knows where Barack was born—that agency headed by Leon Panetta, who could order secrecy among his agency for his friend, Hussein.

Where Obama was born is only a secret, for now, to the American electorate.

"But I'm going to tell you something," he said. "When you walk out on the street down here, people don't really care about this issue."

Well, people didn't care about the issue of McCain's natural born citizen status either, and yet 100 Senators, all on their own, without walking out on the street, including the illegal One himself, addressed the facts of his birth with a Senate resolution. I guess then that that SR511 makes all those Senators "birthers" -- "partial birthers", that is.
