Rick Santorum: Obama's eligibility is 'solved'
WorldNet Daily ^ | September 17, 2011 | Joe Kovacs

JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. – The Republican presidential candidates appearing in last Monday's tea-party debate in Tampa made plenty of news when it came to issues such as Social Security, job creation and Big Brother mandates, but one subject that was not brought up during the event was the constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama.

Yet once the debate was over, some were willing to address the matter.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum told WND, "My understanding is that issue was solved. If there's evidence to the contrary [showing Obama is not eligible], they should bring it forth."

The Constitution requires a president to be a "natural-born citizen," which many legal analysts believe means being the child of two U.S. citizen parents at the time of birth.

When that was pointed out to Santorum, he responded, "I don't think that's what the Constitution requires, and he (President Obama) was born in the country, so it doesn't matter."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No, not really. Santorum wants to be blissfully ignorant? Whatever. It’s not like he’ll ever be president or nothing.

Santorum is a typical politician - completely unschooled in science and technology. and serving in the only job profession in which intelligence is not a requirement. (Oops, belay that, I forgot about the arts.)

Any of us involved in the digital world know well that both of Obama’s birth certificates wouldn’t even get a D+ in a a cheap forger’s school.

This doesn’t show that the Obamaloon is not a legit citizen - but it most certainly does not show that he was.

Um.. no it’s not

I am a computer software enigneer. I have WRITTEN code to open and read/write these image formats.

THERE IS NO REASON FOR THERE TO BE LAYERS

The “OCR” explanation if BS

There are MANY other things that are impossible froma single scanned image (differnet font, different pixel, mono/grayscale bits, alignment, etc ,etc)

THIS IS A FAKE MANUFATURED DOCUMENT and a republican would have been run out of office by the left wing presstitutes for such a laughable fraud.

An emphatic “no comment!” would have been a far better answer.

Yes, poor old Vattel must be turning over in his grave today. That enlightened soul just isn’t receiving proper respect these days.

What a dumb SOB...his Dad was on a student visa from Kenya and a british subject...therefore, at birth barry was a British subject. You don’t even need to see a BC...to know this and know he is not eligible to be president...America again was scammed by the dem party.

I don't think that someone like Santorum cares

I was talking to my best friend a few weeks ago about Obama. I mentioned that his father was a visiting Kenyan student and she said "What?!" I said yeah. His father was from Kenya. So she said "Then how did HE get to be President?"

Two things struck me. Not everyone really knows his father was a foreigner. My friend had never heard it before. And yes, she has TV.

And my 58 year old friends understanding is that both parents should be Americans. That is what she learned in school years ago.

Admiral Stockdale began his famous 1992 debate against Dan Quayle and Al Gore with “Who am I? Why am I here?” Everyone laughed.

Rick Santorum is Admiral Stockdale. He will not be the nominee.

If there's evidence to the contrary . . . , they should bring it forth

Where's he been? I can't believe he said such a thing . . .

1) Obambi has already said a number of times that he is Kenyan born.
2) His grandmother said she witnessed his birth in Kenya.
3) When he got in the Senate, there were numerous newspaper articles about him being the first Kenyan-born Senator . . . all of which went unchallenged by Obambi.
4) His porcine wife has already said he was born in Kenya.
5) Obambi is hiding his b'certicate, passports, etc.
6) He's already presented what is quite clearly a phony b'certificate.
7) (fill in the blanks)

C'mon, Santorum. Are you blind, stupid, or being PC polite?

Do you think it’s even possible that these people (Santorum, Cain, etc) haven’t been made aware of the evidence that BOTH documents Obama produced show blatant signs of forgery? Are they not aware of the problems with the Hawaii Democratic Party’s Certification of Nomination? Do they not know that the HDOH has been caught breaking just about every law in the books, as well as lying on this issue? Can they possibly still not know about the problems with Obama’s social security number, or his selective service registration forgery?

Can anybody still be totally ignorant of these things?

Nope. Santorum is right. And why pick on him? All of our candidates are going to stay as far away from birther lunacy as possible.

Me.

But it does raise the question - does a presidential candidate have that ever elusive "standing" the courts demand?

Herman Cain, where are you???

Congratulations, you are among the very, very few on FR who knows that the spelling of "you're" is the correct one, i.e., the contraction of "you" and "are." Most spell it "your" which is a possessive pronoun, as in "I am using your computer."

They'd probably do a better job and at least we would know where they were coming from.
