Seems all good and well to say so, but as a practical matter the legal support for this stance just ain’t there.

We can want it to be true. We can believe it to be true. But the reality that we gotta live with is that it just isn’t so.

For that matter, consider the old adage that “posession is 9/10 of the law”. If someone was actually able to force the USSC’s hand on the issue, it is arguable that they would be more likely to support the status quo than produce a ruling that we’d find pleasing.

And let’s be honest with ourselves, is there a single person here would would like BHO one whit more if his biological father naturalized as a US citizen a week before knocking up Stanley Ann? Would BHO be one iota less a committed Marxist?

Also consider: One of the most desirable aspects of the American cultural outlook is that it’s not your parentage that defines you but what you make of yourself.

The most productive course of action is to attack the man based on the choices he has made and continues to make. Not to raise issues that were not only entirely out of his control (circumstances of parentage) but also known for years before the election.

It has to be about who he is, what his values are and what choices he makes as President. That’s the angle we need to play.

But we do know it so that Obama is not a natural born citizen. And to where he was born has not been publicly determined. You can believe the lies and all the pap we hear from the left...Obama has not proven to where he was born.

The most productive course of action is to take Obama to task in every issue that conservative oppose Obama to include the 'Birther' issue. I'd say more than half the nation does not believe Obama was born in the United States or are not certain where. It is a big issue whether you like it or not. Usurping the US Constitution will be part of the equation for the Dems to lose Congress this year, which could approach 100 seat loss for the Dems.
