Here's my question: if having a non-citizen father violates the definition of "natural born" citizenship, and since Obama readily admits that his father was a non-citizen, why all the concern over his birth certificate?

If the definition of "natural born" were as cut-and-dried as many here claim, the documentation originally offered by his campaign would have been enough to disqualify him.

The proposed definition of "natural born" is nothing more than a matter of conveniently crafted wording in the service of wishful thinking.

The entire birther thing is little more than desperate but lazy people, looking for a magic solution to a problem that really just requires hard work, patience, and a rational and focused political organization.

Amazing ain't it?!

Some peoples need for a conspiracy overwhelms the obviousness of that simple truth. Obama, his lawyers and a collection of Hawaiian government officials are all on record admitting Obama's father was Kenyan. And rather than move on to the next phase, the birth certificate conspiracy is like a perpetual motion machine that can't stop.

We can't talk about "natural born citizen" until we get to the bottom of the smiley face.

Documentation? Really? What documentation did he present? Do you know something no one else knows? As far as anyone knows, he never presented anything. Have you not read about all the problems with Pelosi and her DNC forms? Hawaii refused to certify the joker because they knew the truth so Pelosi had to re-word it for them. Can you say big flashing red light.
