The sweet irony is that the Obama precedent means Ted Cruz must be considered “natural born” so I’m in.If Ted Cruz runs and is not successfully disqualified by the dems, then he would make an outstanding conservative president, but the dems will claim that unlike their man (the lying identity fraud aka obama, who probably actually was born in Kenya and not in Hawaii as he claims), our man Ted was foreign born, thus aka obama was eligible where Cruz is not.
Yes, both had non-citizen fathers when born, so one who believes as you do could say that precedent has been set, but according to politically correct accepted "truth" aka obama was born in the USA whereas Ted Cruz was not. I am afraid that the dems and the regime-stream media will wait until Cruz is locked in, then hammer away at this incessantly as a key difference regarding eligibility.
Ted Cruz, if he indeed he decides to seek the nomination, should cut this bit of dem hypocrisy off at the pass by requesting a court ruling on the matter as soon as he declares. Unlike aka obama, Cruz is an honorable man and, unlike aka obama, Cruz has been forthcoming and open with his life records, so it would make sense that, for the sake of his voters, his party and himself, he would want to remove all possible lingering doubt about his eligibility status at the beginning of his run.
The Democrats and their fellow travelers, the liberal mainstream media are already defending Cruz’s eligibility.
For example:

Why? Because they would love to run against Senator Cruz (who they think can’t win because he’s too conservative) and because a Ted Cruz candidacy further justifies and legitimizes the Obama presidency.
I’m betting that the Democrats in the Senate will sponsor another non-binding resolution attesting to Senator Cruz’s eligibility (just like they did for Panama Canal Zone-born John McCain, with Senator Obama as a co-sponsor) to show how magnanimous and “bi-partisan” they are.
Liberals love bi-partisanship when they think it works in their favor.
