Hey now that Miss DidDi mentioned DU, I seem to recall that some of the whacked-out left suspected GWB of being an alien ;-)
But come on, his mom was from Kansas & Hawaii says he was born there. Not that I know for sure he meets the debatable constitutional requirement for 'native born', whatever that means, because I don't - I bet even he doesn't know if he does.
But obviously our system currently lacks any means of ensuring that 'natural born' requirement (one which is evidently as vulnerable to subjective interpretation as Sandra Day O'Connor's infamous 'undue burden' is) is strictly met. This is a shockingly glaring oversight we should all try to address with our individual state SOS's to demand that any future presidential candidates on their state's ballots meet the burden of proving their citizenship.
But alas, it's too late for this one! He's there now & he's not going anywhere, he's been certified by congress, possession is 9/10ths of the law & it would take twenty years of legal maneuvering just to get him to tell us how much he weighed at birth let alone fork over the LF BC. The reality is, he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone anymore after he took that oath - the barn door is closed on that one.
What are the words to Niebuhr's serenity prayer? God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference?
PS)Speaking of the pathetically naive DUer's statement Miss DiDi posted that it's not possible for him to have become President unless he were native born because US law wouldn't allow it (LOL!), can either of you you get me up to speed? How are birthers explaining how he was ever able to get a US passport without a valid BC?
