It is an issue because he hasn’t produced one...that IS the
issue.
When asked, Hillary did say Obama was a citizen “as far as she knew”. That was telling enough, as if she was pushing reporters to find out the truth. Truth is, it was probably too risky for her to pursue this track especially if he whips out a birth certificate and she loses all the black vote. In hindsight, knowing the outcome as it turned out, I think the Clintons probably would’ve pursued it harder and had their minions in the press start asking the question. I think they thought all along that Hillary would prevail in the end, so they didn’t want to risk the backlash.
Could you clue me in, please? I’d asked a FR attorney about it, and he said this:
Axxoesing to the US code, his mother had to be more than 18 by a specified number of months, which she wasn’t. It’s all been discussed on FR in the past.
I had thought that the fact that his mother was American (’subject to US jurisdiction’ per the 14th) would cover him.
How many months more than 18 years would she have to have been to give him her citizenship?
For Cripe’s sake folks don’t be stupid here...
Since is it ANN COULTER (!!!) I am certainly willing to allow that she has not been sufficiently informed on this
THIS DOES NOT NEGATE ALL THE EXCELLENT WORK THIS BRILLIANT WOMAN HAS DONE
I also want to know who paid for Obama Osama’s Ivy League education. Where did get get all the money to attend Columbia and Harvard? Tuition, books, room and board, etc?
Well, she is definitely waaaay off base on the BC issue considering Obeyme has never produced a real document. I hope she’s not on the Peggy train....
There are two words I didn’t hear a single one of them say(which I notice in most discussions of this subject in the media). NATURAL BORN. It seems the republicans have let the left, once again, define the subject matter as something different than what it is. It’s not about “is he a citizen” but is he a “NATURAL BORN CITIZEN”! Words have meanings. If we can’t keep this issue on topic, we lose. Stupid ass republicans are getting us killed here.
Let’s not forget to trash Mike Huckabee
why bother?.....this guy can’t conjure himself as anything but a 2-bit teevee show host, prob more attractive as someday something-or-other useful to the do-gooder-gone-wild sect (not the actual lefty sect) of liberals
Might I recommend surgery to remove the jerks in your knees, gentlemen?
Ann is a strategist. You don’t play your Spades first in a game of Spades. This birth certificate isssue is our Ace of Spades card. Sooner or later, the truth is going to come out. But it makes no sense to play it now, and I say this as someone who truly believes that Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen.
Ann is certainly smart enough to understand the details of the issue.
I think Ann must have concluded that the issue hurts conservatives more than helps us. Perhaps she is in the camp that thinks Obama is playing rope-a-dope, trying to sucker his political opponents into the issue in order to discredit them later by releasing the long form BC.
To me, the evidence suggests he was likely born in Hawaii, but we can’t say for certain because Obama is concealing relevant evidence (long form BC, college applications, financial aid applications, etc.).
Any time someone makes an effort such as his to conceal such matters, in cases where other presidents have made similar information available, chances are high he is trying to hide something very damaging, whatever that is.
I agree.
No, she’s not. She is just poorly informed on this.
0bama came out and defended his mom pants for heavens sake! His silence is deafening regarding the bc.
The Hawaii birth announcement means nothing. Anyone can announce a birth.
So...what is the reason he won't produce it?
Yet 0bama’s actions tell another story and actions speak louder than words.
Huckabee is a joke. He should stick with something he kknows a little bit about such as playing his guitar and leave government to those who understand it.
I didn’t say I hate her guts. I said she is turning into another Peggy Noonan. And it is very sad.
