Media finally paying attention to eligibility?

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Poll after poll in recent months has revealed that Americans have a high level of concern over Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president, with one poll revealing fully half of the nation wants Congress to investigate the question.

But mostly reporters for the traditional media – networks, major newspapers, major news corporations and conglomerates – have giggled when talk turns to the serious question of just what – exactly – does the U.S. Constitution require of presidents.

Thanks & Wilkommen.
More convolutions to the legend of our `International Man of Mystery’.

Poor reasoning on your part, IMO. [re keeping 0bummer off the ballot.]

I hope I'm wrong but we'll see whether he's kept off any ballot. I'll be amazed if he is.

[SvenMagnussen]

I don’t know. If Obama would show up at an eligibility, then he could tell us.

How do you know that?

Common Sense

Two election cycles, four presidential candidates and two possible VP candidates, none of whom are NBC.

Nobody in their right mind thought that any political party would nominate an ineligible candidate.

It can not be a coincidence. Is this proof that the two parties are really one, controlled by the communist/socialist elite.

I'm sorry, but I still don't understand why Obama's mother wrote his name on the application and then crossed it out.

Also, did Obama's mother have to add an explanation to her passport application to explain why Obama's name was listed and then crossed out?

Thanks for any help.

The second paragraph on the passport form states that ‘it should be struck out’. ‘It’ being any one on her passport who is not natural born or other info stated.

Never saw/read that info before today.

Not holding my breath. They are probably bringing this out to slam some Republican with. :(

Good indication Drudge will post results, It would be great if he included the sirens.

[mcshot]

Then we are trashed.

I don’t know. If Obama would show up at an eligibility, then he could tell us.

(Sounds of forgers frantically creating the 3rd fraudulent birth certificate).

The media KNOW but act as if they don’t.

Much worse is that the E-Pubs know as well, and so do members of the Court, which is why this will "die on the vine."

Nobody, basically, challenged him in 2008. Nobody in their right mind thought that any political party would nominate an ineligible candidate.

They knew, else why go to the trouble of trying to include him in that stupid Sense of the Senate Resolution declaring McCain was eligible to run.

[freebird5850]

And conveniently the vetting documentation left out a critical verbage to allow him to be a candidate?

They knew, else why go to the trouble of trying to include him in that stupid Sense of the Senate Resolution declaring McCain was eligible to run.
I wasn't aware that there even were any attempts to "include him" in that Resolution. Do you have some info on that? That sounds like interesting reading.
But, yes, you're probably right and I stand corrected..."they" knew and did nothing.

[Quickgun]

He might figure out what most of us would tell him to go do if he had both......Methinks he ought to go do himself anyway....

I hope the sherriff has bodyguards for his protection. Knowing how sinister the Obama administration is, I wouldn’t be surprised if he orders Arpaio to be eliminated.

I expect some "breaking" national news story that will last a few days and thus overshadow the news conference.

In the 60’s, you could list your kids on your passport. If the kid naturalized in a foreign state, then the person’s name should be written on the application and struck out (see declaration printed above the signature of a 1968 passport renewal application).

The person who is struck out files an affidavit and attaches it to the application. An explanation was not provided in the Chris Strunk FOIA response.
