A friend of mine who is from Louisiana says you do NOT mention the name Obama there. They are fit to be tied.
ML/NJ
This could be a good platform from which Jindal could re-introduce himself on the national stage. It might even prod him to run in ‘12.
Texas needs to join in on the suit. It’s destroying Texas as well. Mississippi?
Panel Is Unlikely to End Deepwater Drilling Ban Early ( RE: Deepwater Horizon oilspill)
Everyone who wants Jindal for President should inquire whether his parents were citizens before he was born. I think he’s a tremendously talented guy, but I’m not sure whether he qualifies as a Natural Boarn Citizen.
Then, neither does Obama.
Oh come on. I’m sure they still love him in the Katrinavilles.
Obama will run from any court action. Any suit will involve testimony from those seven engineers whose recommendations were wrongfully used to justify the moratorium. Under oath thay would testify that the moratorium was catastophic and the govt’s wrongful use of their names and reputations is criminal.
He was born here in the USA. Doesn’t that make him a natural born citizen ?
I thought the fact that you were born on US SOIL regardless of the citizenship status of your parents makes you a CITIZEN.
Here is the entry from Wikipedia :
“Piyush Jindal was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Amar and Raj Jindal, who came to the United States as immigrants from India”
This from the NEW YORK TIMES:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/22/world/americas/22iht-22louisiana.7991675.html?_r=1
Piyush Jindal was born on June 10, 1971, in Baton Rouge to Hindu parents who had come to the United States six months before so his mother could pursue a graduate degree in nuclear physics at Louisiana State University. His father was an engineer from the Punjab region of India, the only one of nine siblings to attend high school. The younger Jindal, growing up in Baton Rouge, was not expected to come home from school with anything less than 100 on tests. Public high school in Baton Rouge was followed by Brown, where Jindal was Phi Beta Kappa, and a conversion to Roman Catholicism that Jindal has described in transformative terms. “I draw my definition of integrity from my Christian faith,” Jindal said during the campaign. “In my faith, you give 100 percent of yourself to God.”

As a Louisiana resident and Jindal supporter [I have voted for him twice], I can confirm that he was born in Baton Rouge in 1971. His parents were immigrants from India, became naturalized citizens and Jindal was born and raised here in Baton Rouge before attending Brown in the Ivy League and then later I think he went to Oxford.

Yes (and I support Jindal too) but was he born BEFORE, or AFTER, his parents became citizens. It makes a difference, according to our Constitution (but who pays attention to that anymore? Certainly not the crooks in the WH now.)
No, courts have determined that the definition of “natural born citizen” means that you are born on US soil to parents who are citizens. This was written so that the President would not have allegience to any country, except the USA. The Presidency is the ONLY office with that qualification. There is an exception for people born overseas whose parents were citizens stationed overseas (military, ambassadors, etc.)
In case you are wondering, this means that OBAMA is NOT eligible to be President — no matter where he was born — because his father was not a US citizen. But, everybody seems to be ignoring that fact.
The Constitution is just shredded and trampled by the gang in DC.
This was blatant dishonesty by the administration, on an Orwellian scale.
