Barack Obama is NOT a natural-born citizen!
Fight The Smears ^ | 03/18/2010 | Polarik

Posted on 03/18/2010 12:24:55 PM PDT by Polarik

From Barack Obama's own website, Fight the Smears, a statement as to his citizenship status embodied in the masthead and email to forward:



The fact is Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a

NATIVE CITIZEN

of the United States of America.

Definition of "native-born" or native citizen" (from Wikipedia)

Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as President of the United States:“ No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. ”

The grandfather provision of the "natural born Citizen" clause provides an exception to the "natural born" requirement for those persons who were citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. Most of these citizens had been born as British subjects before the American Revolution (or were born after the Revolution, but before 1787). Without this exception, ten subsequent presidents would have been constitutionally ineligible to serve.[1]

Additionally, the Twelfth Amendment states that: "[N]o person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

The Fourteenth Amendment, adopted in 1868, defines a "Citizen" of the United States, but not a "natural born Citizen." Its Citizenship Clause provides that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are Citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

a local citizen conducted a detail research based on the two notices in the paper about his birth. It seems the address cited was bought in 1950 and finally sold in 1970. Also his family could not initially agree on which hospital he as supposedly born in. Another item. His half sister Maya born in indonesia in 1970 also has a Hawaiian certificate of birth,

Is it funny or horrible that the Romney supporters
also defend Obama against those who demand documentation.

Romney is so preObama, proObama, and for Obama.
(along with the Legion of ROmneyBOTS).

It is better if we all focus on how to take back what the commies current own

We hit him from all sides. Use the rats' and the media's tactics. If we say it enough and plant the seed, people will start to wonder.

This is a nonstarter. It makes other folks of good will who agree with us on most things think that we all wear tin foil and are waiting for the mother ship. Orly Taitz has not helped in any of her shenanigans. Her lack of skill as an attorney has hurt all of us

The man is a liar. He has used several names. He’s hiding his past. Why should we believe he’s a natural born citizen. He’s nothing but a first rate con man.

Oh dude, don’t worry, I think people wonder. In fact, I think most people probably figure he ISN’T an NBC. Unfortunately, among those there are some that think it’s GREAT that he’s ineligible, some more that think it’s an archaic ticky-tack little rule that doesn’t matter in this day and age, and plenty more who don’t think anything can be done about it.

Sorry to nitpick, but he's actually a third rate con man.

The first rate con men feed the teleprompter.

As long as the state of Hawaii continues to verify his birth there, it appears that the courts and prosecuting attorneys won't touch this issue. Any prosecuting attorney in the nation can go to a judge and get a subpoena for Obama's original birth records but none have and after two years, it looks like none will. Subpoenaing birth records without the consent of the person named on the document is allowable under Hawaii law as long as a court of competent jurisdiction issues a court order for the document. --- “I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawai‛i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai‘i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.” http://hawaii.gov/health/about/pr/2009/09-063.pdf

I would like to thank everyone who supported me and those who know me will be passing along the latest news on FR to me.

BUT, I am never logging back on FR as Polarik again.

That’s a promise I will keep.

Direct quotes from polarik in August of 2009. So I guess your word is as good as that of a politician

The anti-venom for Obamacare!

We can challenge Obama based upon this, we as citizens do have standing now if Obamacare passes.

Hey the person you are trying to smear posted opinions that thousands find interesting and like to discuss. You can never come back to freerepublic and nobody would give a damn.

Compare and contrast.
