Several researchers found it .. I thought they were duplicates, until my eye glanced over them and noted the difference in the amount of text. Then, it was clear they were different docs. I think the jbjd blog had a great deal of detail at that time, and information was sprouting all over the blogosphere .. and that’s likely where they were found.
Lots of folks pick it apart word by word but very few actually understand the glaringly obvious motivation of the "Obama insertion."
It is actually getting hard to find and searches don't even locate MY original posts on FreeRepublic regarding this.
I did find this one.

On April 10, 2008 Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduces Senate Resolution S. Res. 511 to “recognize that John Sidney McCain is a natural born citizen.” The resolution is allegedly meant to clarify that McCain is eligible to be President even though he was born in Panama. Because McCain’s parents were both Americans and he was born in Panama because his father was stationed there while in the military, existing law already covers McCain and he is eligible to be President. McCaskill’s resolution thus serves no purpose – except that language is included to try and provide a “blanket cover” for other foreign born candidates without military backgrounds, in order to enable Obama to be eligible to be President. This is the language that Obama inserted “Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President;” This Clause has no particular relevance to McCain [The language is inserted by Obama.][301,303]

Further searches on other word strings did locate an original post from 2008 addressing the Obama insertion in detail.

“2d Session S. RES. 511: Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.: In the Senate of the United States.” was Sponsored by Senator McCaskill and co-sponsored by Senators Leahy, Obama, Coburn, Clinton and Webb. Why? Why were Democratic Senators trying to pass a Resolution making Senator McCain undoubtedly Legally Eligible when this issue had already been cleared up in 2000 and again in 2004? And why did Senators McCaskill and Obama reportedly insert the following Clause?
“Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President;”

I would suggest folks save the above links posts to a file, (web archive single File) as there is little available on Internet searches that refer to this.
