The issue with obama is not whether he is or is not a citizen? the question is whether or not he is qualified as a Natural born citizen due to his lack of full and complete allegaiance at birth.
We both can play the game of citing cases and quotes that appear to point towards our point of view, but that does not resolve the issue.
I know that the founding fathers wanted to make sure that there was no foreign influence in the office of the President. This is the purpose of Article 2. Does obama’s actions show a allegiance to Africa and his muslim roots. I believe they do. This is what the founding fathers wanted to protect us from.

Those who don’t believe that Obama qualifies as a natural born citizen will have the opportunity to remove him from office on the first Tuesday in November in 2012 or before that time, perhaps they will be able to convince 67 Senators to remove him through a trial in the Senate.
“Allegiance to Africa?” Africa is a continent composed of 53 separate nations, some of which are staunch US allies and have US military bases on their territory. How does a person have allegiance to an entire continent?
