Obama in a Bind Over Country of Birth
News Blaze ^ | November 25, 2009 | Alan Gray

Posted on 11/25/2009 6:15:50 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

President Obama is in a fix over his country of birth.

The President started to dig the hole as Senate candidate and now he is president, the hole is getting deeper and uglier, mainly because of his evasive actions. Many Democrat supporters are either ignoring the problem or are vehemently attacking "birthers" who question the President's eligibility.

Republicans are not the only ones concerned about his eligibility. Libertarians, independents, constitutionalists and even democrats are wondering why Obama is fighting so hard to hide his origin.

Unfortunately, Obama dug the hole himself, and like a hole created when a water main leaks and then bursts, the hole is expanding day by day and as it does, the fallout is increasing.

The President and his legal teams have done everything in their power to prevent anyone from accessing his real birth certificate, if he has one, but there are other lines of investigation they cannot block.

During his campaign for the Senate, he and his team touted his Kenyan birth, possibly because it made him more appealing to the voters they needed. Unfortunately, admitting to his birth in Kenya makes him ineligible for the Presidency.

So the question now is, was he really born in Kenya and he told the truth in the Senate campaign, or was he really born in Hawaii, and the Kenya story was a lie, used to deceive Illinois voters.

Obama can't have it both ways. The answer to this question will be interesting!

Of course, he could say the campaign and the reporters all got it wrong, but it will be interesting to follow the trail on this investigation and discover the sources for the AP story that documents the apparent fact that Obama was Kenyan born.

If it wasn't the truth back then, why didn't he stop the campaign using that information and why didn't he make the AP issue a retraction?

Obama supporters who say it is nobody's business, need to take a step back, imagine the president is George Bush and ask themselves the same question they should ask now. "Is it OK for the President to hide his origin and what are his motives for doing it?"

I want there to be a simple, truthful answer to these questions, but I have a strange feeling the answer is not what any of his supporters wants to hear.

This is the first I've heard that he claimed Kenyan birth during the Senate campaign.

I didn't see it in Dr. Corsi's book, either.

I also fail to see how it would have helped him in his Senate race.

It requires two citizen parents to be a natural born citizen.

No, it does not. Anyone born here is a natural-born citizen. Even a kid born to tourists or illegal aliens. They're called anchor-babies. It happens all the time.

I agree...I haven’t been able to track anything directly back to to him. There were a coupe of different articles mentioning it, but it sure seemd that it was the writer doing it ( though where the writer got the info, i don’t know)

you would think that Obama would have mentioned it when he was Kerry’s keynote speaker, but he didn’t.

“If Obama is legit, we owe him an apology.”

You’re a funny bunny.

Agree that he will crack up. What I would like to know is how many cartons of cigarettes he chain smokes in that little room off the Offal Orifice.

It is simply not true that you need to have both your parents be natural-born citizens in order to be one yourself. That is extremely ludicrous, and if you thought about it for one minute, you would find that to be untrue.

I guess I am not a natural-born citizen.

My great-grandmother was born in Canada in 1900.

She became a naturalized citizen sometime prior to her marriage to my great-grandfather in 1922. Her U.S. passport for their honeymoon is in a scrapbook.

That means my grandmother was not a natural-born citizen when she was born in Brooklyn in 1926, since, according to your legal expertise, both parents must be natural-born citizens.

That means my father, born in Manhattan in 1948, isn't one either, since he was not born to two natural-born-citizen parents.

And neither am I, since my father, according to your legal expertise, was not a natual born citizen, since one of his parents was not a natural-born citizen.

I guess our 45th president better be born on a reservation.

Obama actually did this? He stated he was born in Kenya? First I’ve heard of it.

It must be true it the esteemed News Blaze reports that Obama said he was born in Kenya.

And once News Blaze gets the videotape of Obama saying he was born in Kneya from API, I am sure they will post it on their site.

For what? He is the one who is creating this chaos by keeping his BC and every other document of his life secret. For that alone he should be impeached. This is not good for our country.

Parents have to be citizens, not natural born.

Again, not true, per 14th amendment. Also, see "anchor babies."

The Standard Ltd
I & M Building, Kenyatta Avenue,
P.O Box 30080, 00100 GPO, Nairobi-Kenya.

it credits “-AP” but this might be African Press or something other than “Associated Press” and this is a Kenya News source

we need to see a raw feed from the Associated Press or a campaign speech or literature that says he was born in Kenya

everyone in Kenya thinks he was born there...and his sister was...but that’s not going to do it

How about offering his half brother $50,000 to go to Hawaii and personally request a copy of the zero’s BC?

We're talking about a specific standard only applicable to eligibility for the US presidency, not any other office.

What you are talking about is a standard for legal residency, welfare, education and voting...and it was written to apply to freed slaves...not freeloaders.
