Remember this?
Obama himself, (not Nancy Pelosi) in December 2007, in order to participate in the Presidential Preference Election, swore to the SOS of Arizona that he was a “natural born citizen.”
snip-
“A group backed by Soros is gearing up to steal the 2012 election for President Obama and congressional Democrats by installing left-wing Democrats as secretaries of state across the nation. From such posts, secretaries of state can help tilt the electoral playing field.”

From the post you linked, he used slightly different language.
He says "i do solemnly swear he is a natural u.s. born citizen"It seems nitpicky to differentiate between "natural born citizen of the US" and "natural born US citizen," but it is probably error to assume the two are identical as a matter of law.
The second incantation can be argued as using "natural born" as an adjective against "US citizen." It inclines one to adopt the fairly popular (but IMO, fatally flawed) legal approach that everybody born on US soil, regardless of the national allegiance and citizenship of the parents (except diplomat's kids), is within the group the constitution calls "natural born citizen."
On the Candidate Nomination Paper, Obama certified he was a “natural born citizen of the United States.” The wording you noted was part of a blog post, not the actual wording on the certification.
Thanks for pointing that out. I went back through the links until I got to the copies of the papers filed at the AZ and NH state election offices. Indeed, he swore that he is a natural born citizen of the United States.

I could see vetoes for both bills, if she had articulated these objections: (1) "Birther Bill" -- it doesn't address the 'natural born' requirement for candidates running for president of the United States; and (2) "Guns on Campus Bill" -- it does not allow guns in classrooms...what's the point?
These objections I might have sympathisized with, but not the inarticulate, sorry excuses she gave. Is her brain burned out from alcohol? What's with her halting disconnect twist brain and lip?
