How pathetic are you? You obviously have no concept of what confers citizenship upon someone do you? Obama was born in Hawaii and even if that were not so, his mother was a natural-born citizen, thus he IS A U.S. CITIZEN! What an ignoramus you must be! Your "evidence" is comprised of crap that someone posted online or in a blog, or in a "news"paper???? Stick to what you know best which appears to be just about nothing involving logic, analysis and fact finding. Just think, you (and the others cretinous morons like you) were probably the inspiration for the movie "Idiocracy!"

These same democrat media outlets expressed no outrage when there were CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS on McCains birth status. Now they mock and howl over legitmate inquiry into Obamas qualifications.

The people are altogether right in their demand that the constitutional bona fides of the man occupying the White House are legitimate. The other side doesn't care about justice. Only about holding onto power.

Current conventions in journalism do NOT required to possess expertise in matters upon which they express opinions to readers, nor to disclose instances in which they lack expertise.

Had Mr. Schlesinger been more skeptical, open-minded, or expert, perhaps we could have expected some contrary evidence in his fascinating opinion. But like so many members of the mainstream media from which we hear daily, Mr. Schlesinger is NOT required to disclose his inexpertise

Fellow readers, we cannot expect others to be skeptical for us whether the discussion involves the maximum size of recorded hailstones, tsunamis, climate change, or President Obama's Constitutional legitimacy for office by natural birth.

Of course, President Obama was born in Hawaii. We've seen the birth certificate and there was a newspaper item reporting his birth. WHAT IN THE WORLD is the matter with you??? I didn't think that you were a nut-case. Guess I was wrong. I really hope that you're not as evil as your father.

I hope we hear nothing further from you about this ridiculous claim. Shame on you!!

Instead of focusing on this Birth Certificate mess don't you think we need to pressure people to stop this Cap & Trade or Obamacare? I will admit there are some things that are questionable about his birth, but it's a loosing battle. My main concearn is how any resistance whatsoever to Obama's agenda is automatically implies that "I can't handle a black man in the White House" and I am obviously a racist (yoyo of XX & disgusted of MD). It simply makes every other argument you have no matter how factual or persuasive it may be, watered down. I simply just can't have my taxes raised and if you think that makes me a racist then you have no idea meaning of the word. If you think you can see past what I'm saying into what I really mean. Then you are pyscic phenomenon and you should be on the road showing off your skills at some State Fair (or it simply means that you are judgemental, self-loathing, stubborn jackass) I will let the people who know you decide that, since despite your opinion I can be-open minded

It's real easy for me to see who the racists in this country. I can just read your comments and be pretty sure what color your skin is.According to you I am a racist because I didn't vote for this fraud.(I did my research before Nov 08)and yes his B.C. was in question then.

My vote had nothing to do with tint.I have supported Alan Keyes for years and would have gladly voted for him! Its too bad that the first black president turned out to be so unqualified in so many ways. A sad time for America. Next time you vote, vote for the mans qualifications not his skin color. As far as your lost job goes--- DON'T BLAME ME I VOTED FOR THE AMERICAN

barack obama is a natural born american .he was born in hawwai on us soil which makes him an american and even more of an american than john mccain who was born in panama .so why is it ok for john mccain to be americanand not barack?his mother was an american from kansas and he was born in the usa.he has nuthing to do with kenya .yes his father was kenyan but u also forget to mention that the father abandoned the family and obama grew up with out him.

hy didnt u accuse him of being kenyan when he was state senator,why not when he was a us senator ?why when he is president ?bcos u rascists cant live with the fact that a black man is running the country .its no coincidence that the m,ain ppl behind this are redneck gun toting hicks down south .

wee a black man is in charge right now .get used to it .bcos now that one gy was able to do it ,a lotta other guys are gonna do it .get ready for ur first latino president ,ur first black female presidnt etc.u cant stop it .

look you silly rascists, are you saying Obamas mother is not american? are you saying the CIA, FBI, Hillary and the hawian newspapers are all in a conspiracy to get an 'alien' (spooky music now) elected. Just admit you are freaked out that a centre left black man has been elected and if you all weren't knuckle dragging cheeto eating wingnuts living with your pretend guns in your mothers' basements you would acept that he won the majority vote.

Stop drinking the Koolaid, or if you must, at least make it a little more potent. Do the research. Obama cannot possibly be a US citizen, but that's not what you want to hear, is it? It's too easy to just follow along with the rest of the sheeple than to question anything or do the research yourselves. Fine. Just a few questions.....IF Obama was a natural born US citizen, then why has he spent at least a million dollars in attorney fees to keep his long form birth certificate (school records, passports, etc., etc., etc.) from being shown when the copy of the long form BC might cost a whole $12.? It doesn't take much to satisfy all of those who wish to be sure that the person sitting in the highest office of the land has the right to be there. By the way, as someone mentioned earlier....the one he posted on internet is a fraud...PROVED! Also, why is it that his own step-grandmother said that she was there (in Kenya) in the hospital room when he was born? And why did a newspaper in Africa say that "Obama is returning to the land of his birth" earlier this month when he and his family were over in Africa? And why did his own cousin in Africa, when asked if a monument was going to be set up at his place of birth there say, "It is already well known by the people here." ? Hmmmmmm????? There is much more I could place here, but there's a limit on the amount of words used. So again.....do the research yourself. Make no mistake....BHO is doing his best to hide and destroy everything in his past, as his loony tune goons attack and hurt people who look too closely....that alone should make you question things.
