Are you being intentionally obtuse, or is your reading comprehension on the fritz? Because here's what I wrote originally: "No one suggested that the mere fact of having a Kenyan daddy made him ineligible until November 2008."

My comprehension is just fine, thank you. Let me rephrase your statement if I might. "No one suggested that the mere fact of having a Kenyan daddy made Obama a Kenyan citizen at birth (which would have made him ineligible to become the President of the United States) until November 2008." Is that what you are trying to say?

None of you "Anti-Birthers" have yet to suggest a cogent reason why if daddy was a Kenyan, then why isn't the son a Kenyan? Point is, you're not allowed to see any more information than the rest of us. You can speculate that Obama at some point renounced his Kenyan citizenship, but you can't point to any document that would suggest that. You ignore the fact that no one has seen his long form birth certificate and ignore the fact that the purported "fact checked" Certificate of Live Birth has only been seen on-line. You ignore that many of Obama's records are sealed. You ignore the Hawaiian elections clerk that said Hawaii had no birth certificate on file, either long or short form, for Obama. You ignore that over half of Americans doubt Obama's birth story. You ignore the fact that any hospital in Hawaii has actually admitted to being the hospital that Obama was born in.

You anti-birthers are so smart, tell me, if having an American mother and a Kenyan father doesn't make Obama a dual citizen, then what does? And if Obama was a dual citizen at birth, where did the Kenyan half go and when did it go?

No, that's not. What I'm saying was summed up pretty well in my last paragraph:

Feel free to browse old FreeRepublic threads from before November 2008. The "certifigate" tag makes this easy. You'll find no shortage of threads spinning wild tales about Obama's secret Kenyan birth, or Obama's secret Indonesian adoption, or even Obama's secret daddy being Malcolm X. But what you WON'T find is threads of Freepers preaching "natural born citizenship requires two citizen parents." Not in June 2008, and certainly not earlier than that. For some reason, that definition only suddenly got discovered right as Obama was actually elected.

Even if he was a Kenyan citizen in addition to being a natural-born US citizen, the former would be irrelevant.

Dual citizenship is not an issue. If it were, every tinhorn dictator on earth would have a veto over US elections by granting the US President a Crackpotistan citizenship by decree.
