That Obama's father was never a citizen was never a secret. It was in Obama's autobiographies; everyone knew it.
But during the primary elections, none of Obama's opponents claimed that that made him ineligible to run. During the general election campaign, McCain and Palin never claimed that that made Obama ineligible. During that campaign, no conservative legal organization (Thomas Moore Center, ACLJ, Judicial Watch, etc.) ever filed a challenge to Obama's eligibility. No law professor wrote an op-ed article questioning Obama's eligibility.
After the election, no member of the electoral college questioned Obama's eligibility. When Vice President Cheney certified the electoral votes before a joint session of Congress, not one member of the House or Senate raised any objection to Obama's eligibility. Chief Justice Roberts swore Obama into office without questioning his eligibility.
In the past, we elected a Vice President, Spiro Agnew (the VP is required by the Constitution to have the same qualifications as the President), whose father wasn't a citizen. No one at the time claimed that he wasn't qualified to hold office.
At this point, the odds of any court in the U.S. defining "natural born citizen" to mean anything but a citizen who is born, not naturalized, is exactly zero.
In the primaries, no one took 0bama seriously, until it was too late.
No one knew anything about 0bama, so instead of properly vetting him, they just went along. That is how countries and civilizations fall.
No one really commented on it.

False statements. Dr. Alan Keyes, for just one example, objected and filed lawsuits.

False statement. One or more Electors tried to object, but Vice President Cheney breached procedure by omitting the roll call vote of the Electors where such an objection would have been heard. At least one such Elector became a party to a lawsuit/s which the courts dismissed without trial on the basis the Elector and other plaintiffs lacked standing. The Senate's Democrat majority will not investigate, since they are accomplices to the fraudulent election in the first place.

That is another false statement, and it is a lie, because it has been refuted with U.S. Census records and the Selective Service record of the father right here in Free Republic. The Selective Service record of the father clearly reports the father was a naturalized U.S. citizen before the birth of the son. You should retract the false statement.
At this point, the odds of any court in the U.S. defining "natural born citizen" to mean anything but a citizen who is born, not naturalized, is exactly zero.
You'll understand then why we reject your opinion and your comments as being false and unreliable.
