Unfortunately, none of us was able to convince 1 (One, Uno, Un, Ein) elected Republican to join us in belaboring the obvious, or even to do his damn job. That is, to simply state that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. is the son of a foreign national, and thus can simply not be a "Natural Born Citizen," as traditionally recognized.
But that was required in that now quaint old parchment,our Constitution. Since it was written by dead white men, some of whom owned slaves, it now has become, apparently, a bit of a dead letter. If any of us takes issue with some obscure clause or other, we are free to ignore it, if Bill Maher or Keith Olbermann says that's OK. The other side maintains that the anchor child of an illegal alien couple is a "Natural Born Citizen." Running for, and serving as, POTUS is a Civil Right.
We have lived through a coup. I join Scottiesmom in the fear that it will be swept under the rug as part of the Republican modus vivendi after 2010, and that it will all go away without resolution when what's-his-name leaves office scot-free in 2012.
If action is not taken in the near term, we should invite every 2010 Republican candidate to certify whether they have the spine to honor the oath they will take to defend the Constitution and step forward on this issue.
Does a record of this exist? Youtube? Transcripts?
It would be a nice counter to those who say he is an NBC, especially if the counter is obama himself saying he isn't!
