One thing on the birth issue I don’t understand. If Obama’s father was a British citizen, then doesn’t that alone invalidate Obama on the natural born citizen bit and where he was born becomes immaterial? And if so, why is’t that the direction people who are questioning Obama push along?
I get it. He was an anchor baby.
Actually there are people who have been pushing along this line. Leo Donoforio (from NJ) is one. Here is his website: http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/
Since the Courts have refused to hear this case and that there is no direct ruling by the Courts as to the meaning of the term “natural born citizen” we are left in a position of having this issue be considered “open to debate”.
Though I absolutely believe that Obama (Barry Soetoro) is not a ‘natural born citizen’ and is possibly not even a citizen at all (after his adoption) and that his real legal name may not even be Barack Hussein Obama but instead Barry Soetoro, I would like to see the Court rule on all of this even if the ruling turns into one of these ridiculous Court rulings like we have seen so many times in the past. The greatest travesty here to me is that the Court has denied the rights of the American people to their Constitutional right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
A significant number have pushed on that angle, and in my opinion, that angle should be pushed to a definitive resolution. However, Congress didn't even give the fact of dual citizenship at birth a moment of thought - completely blew it off, and in fact, appears to have deliberately drawn attention to "location of birth" by rendering a resolution as to McCain. While the McCain resolution made a point of noting the citizenship of both parents, for obvious reasons, a similar resolution could not cover Obama.
I expect the federal politicians and courts to fight at least as hard as Obama, to prevent a definitive resolution - EVER. To do so now would amount to an admission of abdication of duty.
That is the direction almost all the lawsuits hae taken. It’s obama’s ‘team’ that shifted the media focus to place of birth. By releasing a fake(vertified) birth certificate knowing that it would cause a issue, they were able to focus the media attention away from the facts. Since no one in the media would even think of questioning the “birth record” any one who questions obama’s records must be a nutcase. The evidence is overwhelming that obama is not the LEGAL president of the U.S., but first you must find ajudge willing to accept the case. Everytime a judge evens considers accepting a case obama’s people and the justice dept(eric holder)instantly have a’talk’ with him until he changes his thinking!
