Obama Was Not Born in U.S., Republicans Say
Angus Reid ^ | 10/22/09 | staff

Posted on 10/22/2009 12:46:04 PM PDT by pissant

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Three-in-ten Americans think their current head of state was not born in the United States, according to a poll by Angus Reid Strategies. 70 per cent of respondents believe Barack Obama was born in the U.S., while 30 per cent do not.

While only 13 per cent of Democratic Party supporters believe Obama was not born in the U.S., the proportion rises to 25 per cent among Independents and 51 per cent among Republican Party backers.

In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2008, Democratic nominee Obama secured a majority of electoral votes, defeating Republican candidate John McCain. In January, Obama became the first African American president in U.S. history.

Article II of the U.S. Constitution establishes that only "natural born" American citizens are eligible to become presidents.

Last year, the Obama campaign team released a Certification of Live Birth, which states that Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Aug. 4, 1961. The State of Hawaii only allows for the release of an original birth certificate under "extenuating circumstances."

Earlier this month, former House majority leader Tom Delay discussed his views on Obama’s birth, saying, "Why wouldn’t the president of the United States show the American people his birth certificate? You have to show a birth certificate to play Little League baseball. It’s a question that should be answered. It’s in the Constitution that you have to be a natural born citizen of the United States to be president."

No, I don’t think he is a “marxist quisling”. He is a quisling, and he is a marxist.

But :marxist” is not a modifier for “quisling” - they are freestanding faults in his panoply of faults.

Chris Mathews MSNBC reports this every day. says “So republicans should not even be listened to because it’s just hate”. He says it’s the racist South too that believes this. I am amazed that the Birth-certificaters (the real ones that are not MSNBC trolls) couldnt see this coming. What a loser of an issue!

But, but, but.....how can this be. The FR kneepadders keep telling us that those fringe birthers are hurting the GOP. Yet most Republicans are smart enough to know Obama is a fraud. And on top of that, he’s continuing to get sink in the polls.

If we keep adding descriptors, this thread can become a classic.

This poll may explain why Obama had a little kid ask him if he was born in Hawaii. They got a tip about this poll being released.

"He said his father was a Kenyan. That in itself disqualifies him!!!"

In addition, on his very own campaign web site, they admitted that his "birth status was governed by Great Britain."

So, how in the world, could a dual national be considered a Natural Born Citizen? They can't.

Look into the property tax rolls of Hawaii and see if the condo development came later than the time he is said to have lived there.

Until then, your info is without substance.

Since Biden and Pelosi were complicit in this fraud, who will take Dear Leader’s place?

In his 2004 debate with Keyes, Keyes reportedly said: “You are not even a Natural born citizen” to which Obama replied:” That’s o’k, I am not running for President, I am only running for Senate”
This is the first I've heard of this and it seems the tape of same has "gone missing".
That Obama hasn't offered a copy of his birth certificate in court would seem to indicate there is something on that document that he doesnt want revealed.
Since he said he wants total transparency but refuses to reveal this document, it would seem he's lying.
