You don't have to be born in the USA to be considered a "natural born citizen". If you're born abroad and have one parent who is an natural born American you can be elected president. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, George Romney was born in Mexico, they both sought the GOP nomination. Even if Obama had been born in Kenya his mother was born in Kansas making him eligible as a candidate. The whole birther nonsense was total bullshit put forward by the GOP smear machine.
Obama has released the Long Form bc, but the Birthers still refuse to believe it's real. Guess it's just easier to think that our legal President is a foreign national. Ignore the fact that the so-called Birther leader (Oily Taint) is a foreign national with known ties to a foreign nation's intelligence agency (Mossad). Doesn't that raise questions about the motives behind her actions? Use some common sense.
I don't think that racism driving this. I think Its xenophobia.
These people are all about superiority of America, the notion that outsiders, socialists are evil, undermining this nation. Obama spent a lot of time overseas, has a left-leaning politics generally accepted in Europe.
That is what makes him alien to them. Also, Muslim father and non-religious mother. I don't know. maybe racism does play some role, but his cosmopolitan world appeal background is probably a bigger cause.
@candiceevans1 You call people ignorant yet you say that Obama showing his birth certificate multiple times doesn't answer the question regarding his birth. And most likely you are a conservative so you shouldn't be attacking about attack dogs when that's your whole parties game. They attack the other party and ignore talking about policies or if they do, they do it vaguely. You talk about low IQ's when your more than half of your own party support Palin. Supporting a retard isn't smart.
Matthews.. what about you? You started this crap back in 2007. You hypocrite.
"But didn‘t Hillary dump on Obama a few days ago for playing up his Indonesian roots? So, what is she up to here? Is she pushing how great he is for having been born in Indonesia, or what, or simply reminding everybody about his background, his Islamic background?"
It may be that barry was not born in the US. but neither was mcain. and president soetoro did not leave american POWs behind in vietnam the way the traitor mcain did. but labeling people as racist is intellectually lazy.
The darker America gets the more brutal and unstable it will get. The standard of living will continue to fall. In the next 20 years White Euro Christians will be a marginalized minority in USA, living at the mercy of negroes, mestizos, muslims, jews, Koreans, etc. It's a fait accompli at this point, irreversible. Whites (especially men) will be pushed aside. The Euro culture will fade out too. White liberals like Chris Matthews will get his wish to live outnumbered by and surrounded by Others.
It doesn't matter if Obama was born in Hawaii or not. His father was a foreigner. Children, at the time of Obama's birth who had a foreign parent had DUAL CITIZENSHIP. You can become a full-fledged NATURALIZED CITIZEN, but naturalized citizens CAN NOT BECOME PRESIDENT, only NATURAL BORN with two American parents. You could have cameras in Hawaii while little Barry Soetoro was being born with proof beyond belief he was born in Hawaii, and that still wouldn't make him eligible to be pres.
Liz Cheney is a disgusting stink dirty cunt in fact fuck the CHEENY'S WHY WON'T DICK JUST FUCKEN DIE ALRAEDY, US TAX PAYERS BEEN KEEPING HIS PATHETIC ASS ALIVE
I think the accusations of racism come because there doesn't seem to be any other logical explanation. Most Presidents never showed a birth certificate at all. Obama has done so AND birth announcements in 2 HI papers plus multiple confirmations from the HI DOH and even the Republican Gov. Then there's the total lack of any evidence he was born anywhere else, his parents were living there and going to school there at the time he was born...
so tru taydigg, these guys are a bunch off crazedhypocrites who are blinded by there idealogically driven views. Its just like the bill ayers crap. If right wingers are so concerned bout obamas birth certificate, why don't they question michael steeles? or bobby jindal theres one, haha his parents are even from india, why not question his citizenship. don't see the birthers going after him, prbably cause they got secret talking points not tooo.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hey chris...your only defense is "nutjobs" "looneys" yea the same thing was said about the people who questioned 9/11...the "crazies" persona is getting old.
It's racist because they didn't question the validity of any other president...just Barack Obama. I downloaded the birth certificate which list the hospital, doctor, and everything else. I framed it on my wall. The same people who believe this birther crap has nazi signs at rallies, signs with racist slogans etc.
I personally like this. The crazies will keep the repukes out of office.
@taydiggy i'm not a nazi but something is not right about that bc. it says the mother was "caucasian" and father "african". in 1961 i believe they used non-politically correct terms "white" and "negro". my bc is from the late 70s and it doesn't use a politically correct term. also, i didn't see an embossed stamp of the department and signature. it should have one.
@wisdommyfriend , you are correct that the term "african" was not used on birth certificates anywhere in the United States in 1961. The term "negro" was usually used. What taydiggy saw was an easily-discredited fraud.
Another interesting thing is that Barack's social security number is for someone born in Connecticut. WTF? His past is so mysterious. Of 300 Columbia "classmates" contacted at random, not one of them remembered Barack. Not one.
1. People usually self-identified their race for birth certificates There is no standard designation. And Barack Obama Sr. would not have thought of himself as "negro."
2. The SS# nonsense comes from crazy Orly Taitz. No evidence supports it.
3. Several people from Colombia U. have given interviews about knowing the president, including professors, his roommate, and friends.
You really should stop getting your information from sources that are crazy or stupid or both.
@taydiggy , the one you saw is a fraud. The vault copy of his birth certificate has never been shown to a camera or released on the intenet. The Certification of Live Birth on the internet is not a longform certificate listing a hospital.
Barack is the only nominee in the last 25 years to refuse to reveal his SAT scores, LSAT score, and college transcripts but the media let him get away with it because he is black and they wanted him to win.
@taydiggy Stuff like this is one of the reasons why 93% of blacks support Obama still and will vote in larger numbers. This is a divisive issue and it doesn't focus on issues.
Lou Dobbs knows full well why President Obama's long-form birth certificate is not available; it is because Hawaii does not release the long form. If you ask for your birth certificate from Hawaii, all you get is the short form, which the State Department accepts when you apply for a passport.
Dobbs is a lying fraud. He keeps demanding something that Hawaii does not release.
Dirty politics is the only way the Republicans can play and the people are not falling for it no more ,just ask John"Short Arms"McCain and Sarah"I can see Russia from my house"Palin.
they're just following the long history of down right hateful, bigoted republican politics, preying on the ignorant fringe of their party.
it started in my lifetime with mccarthy, then nixon, then falwell, robertson, dobson, reed (now hagee), & today sees no let up.
what's insane, these fringe people say they're "holier than thou", are the party of "family values" (since when does family values include teaching children to lie to cover up bigotry), with "god on their side".
thanks mighty, what i don't understand is why the media doesn't name names, put them on camera, question em & make em look like the utter bigots they are. and i don't mean just cnn, or msnbc, i mean the 3 major networks. would love to see all 3 of em get together to once & for all expose these racists for who they really are, show their history of disregard for fact, show their history of hate, then question their patriotism & let them know americans disdain their hateful unchristian bigotry.
Not everyone who questions Obama is a racist. I think that is dishonest and intellectually lazy to try and dismiss one side of an argument by claiming that all those who adhere to such beliefs do so because they are racist.
so then why the need to even pose the question clutch? why? what where you trying to stir up? what aim or result did you want to get from that question? what was your alterior motive?
come on there clutch, stop fucking around with people who typically use their brain (seems you'll always lose that battle). you only make yourself the fool or perhaps more accurately, the bigot!
see ..you mentioned nothing racist ..and was only asking a question ..you were ridiculed for it .. and with this comment the same ..you didn't comment what they wanted to hear ..so this is what we get ..sick of it ..double standard ..
When people question Obama' BC which has been proven to be authentic, and they are still not phased by that fact, there' a different problem with him personally. Surely you can understand why people question their racial stance because he is half black. Unfortunately racism is still very much a live in the US and I suppose you would have to be black to understand what it's like. Take the Gate' event. That officer was totally out of line.
well, there clutch...you gonna answer that quesiton or you gonna take a pass on it cause it slapped you smack in the face...were it rightfully belongs.
Brown is right... the republican party is in shambles. It's unfortunate that conservatism has been taken over by a sea of religious idiots. These people are an embarrasment.
