the mere fact of having a Kenyan daddy made Obama a Kenyan citizen at birth

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.

Actually Dual citizenship is an issue that caused the Founding fathers to write the Natural Born Clause, it is the protection that prevents someone with divided loyalties from The Presidency.

As for the Crackpotistan argument, it only works IF the presidential candidate accepts Crackpotistan citizenship or the Congress does.

The belief that any other nation can bestow automatic citizenship on an American citizen against his wishes is perhaps the poorest argument you could make, but since Obama has recognized that he was a British Subject as well as a Kenyan citizen on his campaign websites I suppose you must continue to use that tactic.

If true, (which it is not) someone seems to be going to great pains to hide it. Hmmm, wonder why? These same people seem to to consider it very relevant. If true, (which it is not) why was McCain's birth place contested with him having TWO American citizens as parents?

That scenario is preposterous, but thanks for the laugh.
