“The idea that being raised by US citizens creates a different type of citizen than being raised by non-US citizens is incomprehensible to them.”
You are aware, I trust, that the children of two citizen parents can be raised by non-citizens, too. Many people are raised by people other than their parents. They could be raised overseas, even, and still qualify to be president, assuming they come back for the residency standard.
So, yes, that being raised by non-US citizens would disqualify someone for the presidency is incomprehensible to me.
You talk like it’s all theoretical. You talk like it’s just an academic discussion. Guess who approaches problems and issues that way? Liberals do. Liberals ignore actual facts and speak theoretically as a default mode. Thus, for liberals, spending more money on the War on Poverty makes perfect sense. The fact that the trillions spent so far have only made the situation worse is not an issue for them. For them, it’s all theory, and according to their theory, all the War on Poverty needs is a few more trillion—then, victory.
We don’t have to speak theoretically. We’ve had a lot of presidents. Until Obama, only Chester Arthur raised any concern re: his half-foreign make-up. People like you pushed this man’s, Obama’s, legitimacy. He’s as American as Apple Pie in the eyes of the ‘anti-Birthers - what could go wrong?
Well you tell me. You and your ilk say he’s A-Okay from a NBC perspective. He doesn’t know how many states there are. He can’t pronounce corpsmen—which hardly matters, though; who gives a flip about the United States’ Marines? It’s not as if they’re important to our national heritage.
Sure, he laces his fingers in front of his genitals when other Americans cover their heart w their hand. So? Maybe that’s the way they do it in Indonesia. Who are we to judge? One culture is as good as another, right???
What if he ate dog meat? Don’t all Americans eat dogs? Well, we call them ‘hotdogs’, but Fido is just a hotdog in another form. Mmmmm good. Barack Hussein Obama. Mmm mmm good.
So what if Obama bows to foreign leaders. What’s un-American about that? Haven’t all our homegrown POTUSs bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia? Isn’t it a national custom, much like seeing ghosts on Memorial Day?
Okay, so Obama put an ornament of Chairman Mao on the WH Christmas Tree. What homegrown president hasn’t??? I mean, come on. You’re the one saying Indonesia is as good as the USA. Maybe putting ornaments of Mao and transsexuals on trees is big over there.
So Obama said Hawaii is in Asia. If it isn’t, it should be. Please don’t tell me prior presidents haven’t also said Hawaii is in Asia. Why wouldn’t they? If Obama says so, it must be common knowledge.
As for the bitter clingers and the Bible thumpers, this too is all-American. Every POTUS in history has mocked Americans this way. It has nothing to do w Obama being raised in Indonesia. It’s simply a time-honored American tradition.
So yeah, you’re right. Obama is so good for America, he bloody proves your point. Let’s hear it for the anti-birther hero, Barack Hussein Obama-—mmm mmm good!
