"Being an American is not a matter of blood or birth, it's a matter of faith," President Obama declared at a speech he gave on immigration.
Obama also blamed "resentment" to new immigrants to poor economic conditions.
"Now, we can't forget that this process of immigration and eventual inclusion has often been painful. Each new wave of immigrants has generated fear and resentment towards newcomers, particularly in times of economic upheaval," Obama said.

And I just imagine all these findings are why Odumbass wants the internet kill switch.
So you're changing the meaning because you are not Obama. Born of a Kenyan father. Born in Kenya to a mother who could not pass on US citizenship to you by statute, and you never was naturalized in the United States. That makes you an illegal alien. You could prove this wrong by showing your long form US birth certificate but I doubt that you have one.
LMAO.
Citizenship is ONE thing, NATURAL BORN CITIZENSHIP is something else altogether. Barry might well be a citizen, but for damn sure he is not an NBC.
Obama doesn’t care what the citizens of this country think.

Do you support Arizona’s tough new law on illegal immigration?
In July, Arizona will begin enforcing a new law that requires law enforcement officers to check someone’s immigration status if they have reason to suspect that he or she is in the country illegally. Do you think this is a good idea?

I LOVE that song!
I do not engage with the hired help. The cab smelled funny and I am sure, looking back on it, that he was one of the ones involved in the bribery scheme with the DC cab commission. I am sure his brother is in Nigeria emailing people and telling them he is the son of a deposed king, and will they help him out with their bank account.
I hear you there, I am still seething!
What he was saying is smug and arrogant, but it is also advocating breaking the law, and flaunting his wanting to do so.

Yes, one of the amazing things going on here is that the unemployment rate for native blacks in DC is sky-high, and yet they can’t get taxi licenses. There are only a very few native-born blacks driving taxis here now, and they are all old guys, but they know the city and can understand English. When I get one, I write his cab number and phone down so I can call and request him.
Savage is right! Liberalism is a mental disorder!
There he goes admitting he’s not an American again.
One world, no borders, one currency; we are all world citizens.
ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY OBAMA.
Sharp as a whip, used to have a govt job and drive a taxi in the evenings, former soldier, now semi-retired, kid in college. Real go-getter.
Wish I had thought to get his number!
(Side note, the MINIMUM fair for my local airport is the same as the MAXIMUM fair in DC.
I took the ligtht rail, bus, and shank's mare)...
And profiteer from the law breaking as well!
“What about separation of Church and State?”
Myth. The Constitution says that the government may not mess with religion; it does not say that religion may not influence government. It’s a one-way street.
I am not a “birther” either, but I would like to know just one thing. Why won’t they produce a real birth certificate? So far, only the fake ones have been shown.

That is exactly what I’ve said all along! I don’t believe Obama is “disqualified” to be President. I don’t think he was born in Indonesia or Kenya. His birth annoucement was IN the NEWSPAPER in Hawaii for heaven’s sake! BUT — for SOME reason, they have NEVER released the REAL, ACTUAL Birth Certificate....
Why?
My suspicion is that there is something on it that Obama KNOWS can never be public knowledge. Something that would somehow destroy his imagine, or reveal his TRUE lineage... It’s common knowledge that in the Summer of 2008 during the final months of the campaign he flew to Hawaii to make sure the BC was PERMANENTLY SEALED...
That virtually gauranteed that a bunch of “birthers” would be running around demanding to see what he had to hide. No, I don’t think he’s some kind of foreign “usurper,” but I DO believe he has something to hide about himself, about WHO he is... And he could clear it ALL up by just voluntarily opening up his REAL BC for public inspection...But he won’t....
Hmmmmm.....
This has to be one of the most idiotic statements any president has ever made. Obviously, if you were born an American to American parents, you will be immersed in American society, language, and culture from earliest childhood and will have an excellent opportunity to learn your country's history and legal and economic traditions. To assume that an alien can become a naturalized citizen on the basis of "faith" only, while neglecting education and experience, is nonsensical. Of course the ultimate goal is to grant amnesty and fast track citizenship to as many ignorant illegal immigrants with "faith" ASAP, thereby creating more 'Rat voters.
Is Obama giving the finger to the "Birthers" - and obliquely to the framers of the NBC clause - with this inane statement?
