The diversion continues. Even if the usurper had been born in the Lincoln bedroom of the White House, Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen.
Well, I'll see you the original meaning of NBC as Born on Native Soil and raise you Father as Citizen. According to original intent and understanding of the Constitution, maybe it's possible being born off U.S. soil is not controlling but whether his parents, especially his father, was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth.
It appears that Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen and he was born in Kenya (Obama's "now-you-see-it-now-you-don't" quick flash of what appears to be a bogus BC notwithstanding). There's even debate about who his real father might be. The truth about rumors on this guy seems never to end. Separating the truth from fiction in Obama’s background is like undoing an historical train wreck.

Separating the truth from fiction in Obama’s background is like undoing an historical train wreck. Nevertheless from what I can tell of the evidence produced so far, Obama is not Constitutionally eligible for POTUS because he is not a natural-born citizen.
