Agnostic's Dreaded Verdict: Birthers Are (Mainly) Right (Long Article)
IBD Editorials ^ | April 25, 2011 | JOHN F. GASKI

First Of Two Parts

I will give you the unpleasant punch line upfront: There is sufficient evidence to reasonably conclude that Barack Obama is probably not a U.S. citizen, therefore constitutionally ineligible to be president of the United States.

The fact that he has been serving in that office would then be not only the most audacious hoax in world history — at least since the Trojan Horse. It also creates a constitutional crisis of the first magnitude that will take decades to straighten out.

We will now approach this one step at a time to break the news to you gradually.

First, what makes anyone think that Obama is really a citizen of the U.S., natural born or otherwise? What hard evidence is there to rely on?

The evidentiary test for citizenship is a ridiculously low hurdle, and Obama has not been able to surmount it — except to the satisfaction of 50 careless state secretaries of state who certified eligibility to run in the 2008 presidential election, even though the Obama campaign organization did not produce an original birth certificate or any other evidence of citizenship. Typical quality for government work!

Real U.S. citizens are required to demonstrate hard proof of that type all the time for countless purposes, from obtaining a passport to playing Little League baseball, and Obama still cannot find his birth certificate. And now, in a remarkable coincidence, neither can the state government of Hawaii! More on that later.

“not a U.S. citizen, therefore constitutionally ineligible to be president of the United States”

That’s NOT the issue dammit. Schwarzenegger is a US citizen.

He and bummer are not SECOND GENERATION (natural born) US citizens.

NB: does anyone remember there was some hispanic congressman floating the idea of repealing that amendment in 2007 or so? We all thought he was trying to allow Schwarznegger in

I don’t subscribe to IBD anymore, and so I can’t check to see if this actually appeared in the print edition. I’m suspecting it’s online only, fodder to drive hits to their site.

Sigh... just another confusion-seeding liberal writer on a top-secret mission. His mother WAS a U.S. citizen, so he was born as a U.S. citizen (or naturalized later in the U.S. with her as his mother). But his father was NOT a U.S. citizen (probably a Brit), so he was NOT a "natural born" U.S. citizen, because that takes BOTH parents.

The fact that he has been serving in that office ... creates a constitutional crisis ... that will take decades to straighten out.

Decades? In Hillary's dreams - which is who this IBD writer is actually working for. What's the country going to do in the mean time - wait? LOL. It would be job #1 for the SCOTUS and Congress, or The People would tear their pretty white columns down around their procrastinating heads.

Great summary, but this pull quote just made me lose it:

John Edwards could easily have become president in 2008 but for a few percentage points in the Iowa primary, and his whole life was a fraud. Then there is Bill Clinton's life.

LOL

Ultimately, even if President Obama is proven to be an “illegal President”, I suspect most the the real perps in the debacle will escape being branded or deserved punnishment. He’ll just be the “fall guy” for the machinations of a cabal of political insiders that’ll just look for another pidgeon.... >PS

IBD is a serious publication; an arm of the Wall Street Journal. They didn’t let this fly by under the radar. This is a full frontal attack from a reputable source.

Gonna get some more popcorn.

.
The reason that Obama is in the WH is due to a flagrant and intentional transgression of constitutional law perpetrated by politicians belonging to both parties of the political spectrum.

The true depth of this treasonous scandal is yet to be revealed.

Yeah, but Schwarzenegger is a naturalized citizen (just like I am) and could never be president
