The idea that Obama has any loyalty to the UK is so far fetched that even birthers ought to be embarrassed to raise it. He despises the British.

The British didn’t want to recognize the right of their subjects to choose to become American citizens. We fought a war over it. They can not force a citizen of our country to be a citizen of theirs.

Let’s suppose Russia declares ALL Americans to also be Russians - does that count for squat? I think not.

The Founders COULD have made ‘born of citizen parents’ a requirement for President, but they did not. They chose wording that allows the children of aliens to become President. You don’t like it? Take it up with the Founders. They are the ones who COULD have made it read your way, but did otherwise.

I hope you don't have athlete's foot. That can't be good to jam in your mouth. So-called "birthers" weren't the ones who put this on Obama's website.

As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
