It’s a battle worth fighting. Given who has been identified as B.O.’s father, the current White House occupant cannot be a NBC and is therefore ineligible to hold the office. If it is shown that B.O. Sr. is not the father, then the occupant has committed massive fraud. The bottom line is that there is no way B.O. can win this battle UNLESS the American people wimp out and ignore it.
There could be a dozen or more states with eligibility ballot laws on the books by 2012.
See ya Obama.
That is simply not true. The law at the time was that you could be a citizen by birth with one parent being a non-citizen (BHO, Sr.) IF the parent who was a citizen (momma) had been a resident for at least 5 years after attaining the age of 16 (which manifestly wasn't true, since she wasn't yet 21 when BHO, Jr. was born) OR even if the citizen parent wasn't so qualified, if the child was born in the US. Since it is clear beyond any doubt that the father wasn't a citizen and also that his mother wasn't yet 21, the sole issue right now in determining if he was a NBC is the place of his birth.
Of course, there has been speculation raised elsewhere that he was born in Hawaii, based on what the Hawaii governor/Obama lapdog has said, but that because of the fact that Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetero he lost his US citizenship, and there is simply no record whatsoever of him ever applying to get the citizenship back. Further, he was also known as Barry Soetero, yet his bar application for IL asks if the applicant was ever known by a different name and his reply was "no." This is fraud, and there's also possible fraud regarding the issue of college financial aid (i.e. did he apply for scholarships that were only open to foreign students? If so, then he was a foreigner who never applied to get his citizenship back. If he wasn't actually a foreigner and got the grants anyway, then he committed a felony and is ineligible to be President).
Any way you look at this guy, there is some deep, dark secret that he doesn't want revealed - else why spend so much money protecting his birth, school and medical records. At this point, even if he came up with documents showing that he's 100% legit, the question will arise, "So, why did you hide things for so long? Why were you playing Machiavellian games with the American public?" The burden is on him at this point.
It’s also necessary to clear this up for the future. It’s impossible and incredible that we can have someone run for president of the U.S. based on some political hack’s opinion that said candidate is eligible.
There needs to be procedures for establishing eligibility in a transparent (public) way and for review and redress thereof.
