(Obama) Born in the U.S.A. (says National Review)

National Review ^ | July 28, 2009 | The Editors

[DJ MacWoW]

A natural born citizen would have 2 parents of the same nationality as per William Blackstone, Commentaries of 1765.

National Review was sinking but they have hit rock bottom. It seems like it all fell apart after Bill died. Sad.

We keep hearing the “let’s move on” or “let’s forcus on...” - it takes 5 minutes to provide the long form BC.

It does not distract from anything.

The name which President please.

His trip to see his white granny before she died - I can't find the article stating that he spent most of the time with his sister in the living room but here's another timeline. I guesstimate less than 5 hours total in granny's apartment. Me, if I was so concerned my grandmother wasn't long for this world would have spent every possible moment with her.

Thursday - visited her apt. briefly after the flight arrived that night

Friday - 8:45 to 10’ish AM at apt.
left for a walk in the neighborhood
SS picked him up and back to apt.
left for a lunch back at his hotel
2:34 to 4:05 PM at apt. until leaving for airport

If you send a Letter to the Editor of NR, you get an Out of Office reply from them. Hmmmm?

[9YearLurker]

And that’s not even your grandmother who raised you, or after you said you had missed the chance to be with your mother in her last days.

So why are you posting this instead of being out opposing his agenda?

BINGO! You win the Cupie doll!

The GOP doesn't have ANY idea as to how to stop Obama and they understand that if we push him out on this issue, Biden/Clinton take over and the GOP is a permanent minority party. Like the Tory Party in the UK. So, the GOP, in its infinite brilliance, ehem, really need Obama around until 2012 in the pathetic hope that Mitt or some other doofus GOP candidate (excluding the capable Palin) will actually be able to stumble into the White House in a Jimmy Carter redeux.

The brilliant strategy of the perennial loser! We win by default because we have NO idea how to govern the USA!

The GOP is a clown club...

If Obama was born outside the U.S. and one of his parents was over 18 and a U.S. citizen he would be a natural born citizen. He could have been a dual citizen, but he still would be considered a natural born citizen.

You and the msm are confusing "native born" with "natural born." Those are two different terms.

Please remeber that Bill's idiot son VOTED FOR OBAMA! Of course he's going to cover for him now...

"Natural Born Citizen" means citizen by birth in the US, not citizen granted afterwards. It has NOTHING to do with his parents

It has EVERYTHING to do with his parents. A natural born citizen has 2 parents of the same nationality as per William Blackstone, Commentaries of 1765. It doesn't matter what current law says unless you intend to dump the Constitution.

And the child of 2 illegals is a citizen but NOT a natural born citizen.

Check out the case of Chester Arthur.

[April Lexington]

I still marvel at the amazing coincidence that granny died the night before the election. What is the chance of THAT happening?????

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Grandparents place birth announcements all the time."

Yes, and they don't lie about where their grandchild was born.

[DJ MacWoW]

The damage Obeyme will do by 2012 is enormous. He needs to be attacked on several fronts at the same time.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Yes, but I think it may be not because of birthplace, but rather parentage.

Complete supposition and not out of the realm of possibilities.

The fact of the matter is he owes it to the American people to come clean, after all. he did promise transparency, didn't he?

[bgill]

The SCOTUS hasn’t ruled on the definition of “is”, but I think most of us have an understanding of it’s meaning.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

So what you are saying is that the Grandparents lied about where their grandchild was born back in 1961 when they notified the papers. Why would they do that?

[panthermom]

OMG, Thank you so much for clarifying this. I did not have the patience to do it!

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Interestingly the announcements do not note the place of birth, only the fact of it."

Actually, from what I've read Obama's announcement had the place of birth in it.
