Ok, so now we have TWO posts. Only one of which actually states the clear standard of “two citizen parents born in country”. Your’s wasn't that one.

No? Because I didn't mention "in country"? I thought we were discussing parents. You split hairs.

Seems you were still holding out on us.

You know, that works both ways ...

The position was not well known among Freepers discussing 0bamas ineligibility until AFTER the election.

You state that as fact and yet your entire position is premised on limited "discussion", not limited "knowledge". Please prove that it wasn't well known. Or are you "holding out on us" ... see?

So this was common knowledge, but everyone decided to keep it bottled up during the crucial time after Obama won his party's nomination? And they only came out in the open with it when it was too late for it to do anything? I find that hard to believe considering many of these same people waste no time promoting theories far crazier than this.

Speaking of splitting hairs - your post was AFTER the election.

If you knew and didn’t say until AFTER the election - why were you holding out on us?

One cannot prove a negative or indicate a state of knowledge beyond what people wrote - I don’t have a mind reader and/or a time machine.

But what is clear from threads about eligibility from BEFORE the election - is that the “born in country of two citizen parents” standard was not well known or widely discussed.

Why not?
