Louisiana's Governor Bobby Jindal believes that President Obama is a U.S. citizen. He'll also sign Louisiana HB 561 if it reaches his desk. The bill, introduced by state Rep. Alan Seabaugh (R-Shreveport) and Sen. A.G. Crowe (R-Slidell), requires that all candidates for federal office present original or certified copies of their birth certificates before appearing on Louisiana ballots.
Similar bills have been drafted in other states, fueled by belief that Obama isn't really a U.S. citizen. Donald Trump has hammered the issue, claiming that there is "a real question" about Obama's birth certificate.
Trump's stance on this has earned him derision from MSNBC and a spirited defense from Sarah Palin, who on Fox News' "Hannity" show argued, "When they’re hammering him about the one issue that he’s brought up and not been shy about, and that’s the birth certificate, he’s merely answering reporters’ questions about his view on the birth certificate, and then reporters turn that around and say, ‘That’s all he’s got, he’s only running on a birth certificate issue,’ when that’s not the case.”
As the national debt grows like a massive tumor on the economy, as we lose men and treasure in a forgotten war in Afghanistan and a desultory military adventure in Libya, as Texas burns and TSA agents grope children, it's nice that the media are so keen to provide the comic relief.
There's little doubt in my mind that Obama is a U.S. citizen, but his tenure in office concerns me all the same.....

His dog ate it?
Is the short form good enough to satisfy this law?
The Washington Times is twisting the story’s focus
Everyone I know, knows, that Zero is a citizen for cripes’ sake.
The 800-pound gorilla in the room is perfectly clear for all to see and the media absolutely refuses to acknowledge the warm breath on the nape of their necks:
Father: Kenyan national, never applied for citizenship
Zero is not a natural born citizen. Period. No other documentation required.
It is the sworn duty of the military and of the Congress of the United States to remove with haste any imposter to the office of Commander in Chief of the United States of America.
Get a clue, Washington Times
Louisiana’s Governor Bobby Jindal believes that President Obama is a U.S. citizen.
______________________________________
Before you all slam Bobby...
He didnt say Barry Dunham was BORN in the US
or was a US citizen AT BIRTH
I’m a US citizen...
If I showed Bobby Jindal my Naturalization paper he would say that he believes Nana is a US citizen...
Then he’d tell me that I need to produce my birth certificate if I want to get on the ballot for POTUS in LA...
“Youre not fair, Bobby !!!”
SO WHAT. The pertinent question is...is he a natural born citizen?
Um, xould be the presstitutes are playing the game of ‘unexposed other father’ thus a citizen and NBC regardless of the lie Barry the Bastard told in his Ayers authored ‘autobiographies’. You see, the democrats (voters included) have no moral fiber, so they adore liars, adulterers and frauds ... like sinkEmperor and the bastard. The Constitution is a non-issue when it comes to granting affirmative action, and we now have an affirmative action pres _ _ ent craqpping in the oval office—even the Oval office bathroom perhaps. We the people are reaping what we have sown by playing the democrap party affirmative action denegration of black people for too long. Now we see to what heights incomptence can be ‘affirmative actioned’! And ye not one among the media vermin will raise the issue of what an insult this lying scumsucker is to black people who have worked their way to success instead of being handed their lives on an affirmative action shitsilvered-plank!
George Stephanopoulos told Michelle Backmann he has it.
Did Michelle ask Stephie the million dollar question?
Well Stephie would you be so kind to read directly off the birth record the name of the hospital and the name of the doctor?
Where’s the proof of CT residency and that Obama was born in 1890????
House Bill 561 | Excerpt:
(1) An original or certified copy of the candidate's birth certificate that includes the date and place of birth, the names of the hospital and the attending physician, and signatures of the witnesses in attendance.
(2) A sworn statement or form that identifies the candidate's places of residence for the preceding 14 years.
Beautiful! Perhaps other states can use this language to draft legislation of their own and we can finally limit the leadership of our executive branch to those who truly qualify under the constitution.
I saw the interview. MB is done. She did not challenge Georgie boy. She should have asked what hospital he was born in. If she doesn’t have the guts to challenge a moronic reporter she can’t be my president.
Zero is not a natural born citizen. Period. No other documentation required.
One question about the "both parents must have been U.S. Citizens at the time of both" argument - what if we did not know the identity of the father? Is a child not a "natural born citizen" if the child's father is unknown?
This could be the straw. And that district federal court won’t overturn this law on specious grounds.
Nor is there any federal procedure or law which could preempt the state from acting on this. Some brave soul in Congress should propose a law to give the feds authority over this and lets watch all hell break loose.
