You don’t want to go there, since the people, in a national election, put in office a man they knew had a foreign born father. In that sense, the PEOPLE spoke, and you are just whining about the results.

It's been pointed out that a lot of people don't realize that Obama's father was a foreign national who did NOT immigrate to the United States. I've already shown where one of the most respected papers in the country referred to Obama as an immigrant, so a lot of these voters evidently assume Obama is from a family of immigrants who wanted to be U.S. citizens. Nothing could be further from the truth. These voters don't understand Obama has a multinational background and four continents' worth of citizenships.

devattel poses an excellent question for the masses to ponder: Why is it relevant as the most important qualification for the position?? Do these voters understand why the Constutition requires our president to be a natural born citizen?? Is the constitution irrelevant because a majority voters are ignorant??

Do you REALLY see any sign at all that Obama is loyal to England or Kenya? Any loyalty to anyone or anything but himself?

The Constitution has residency requirements for Representatives, and a longer one for Senators. It requires birth for the President. But there is a strong legal case that they did NOT require the President’s parents be citizens...
