Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee told a radio host today there is no need for legislation to make future presidential candidates prove their birthplace to determine eligibility for office, fearing such a bill would be seen as "a swipe" at Barack Obama.
Huckabee, who sought the Republican Party's presidential nomination in 2008, was speaking to WND's Jerusalem bureau chief and investigative reporter Aaron Klein on Klein's WABC Radio program.
"For 2012, so that there is no controversy in the future," Klein asked Huckabee, "do you personally support some form of legislation that would call for every presidential candidate putting Obama aside, just in general, every presidential candidate to prove his place of birth?"
"For the most part, Aaron, I don't even think it's necessary," Huckabee responded. "We pretty much have our biographies. The news media is going to delve into everything imaginable. I think sometimes that piece of legislation might look like a swipe at Obama.
"I don't believe Obama was born overseas, I believe he was born in Hawaii," Huckabee continued. "I have no doubts about his Hawaiian birth."
Huckabee's statement occurs at approximately the 7:00 mark of the following audio file:

The Supreme Courts decision in Scott v Sanford was a primary reason for the ratification of the 14th Amendment and without the 14th Amendment, Barack Hussein Obama II would not be President of the United States.
Speaking of the descendants of slaves, Barack Hussein Obama II, is the descendant of slave owners and slave traders on BOTH sides of his family. He is NOT a descendant of slaves. The citizenship provision of the 14th never applied to him. His dad, Barack Obama, Sr, was a member of the east African Luo Tribe, a tribe which became powerful through the wealth gained in the slave trade with Arabs.
His mother’s family line also includes slaveowners.
What irony that the man you and so so many claim as perhaps the most potent demonstration of how America has thrown off slavery has himself only family connections to and a family heritage of slave trading and ownership, and none to having been an oppressed slave! Slavery and slave trading continues in Africa today, and almost certainly Luo Tribe members are still involved in it.
I suppose that you have no respect for George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, James Polk, Andrew Johnson, or Ulysses S. Grant since they all owned slaves.

This section was also in response to the Black Codes which southern states had passed in the wake of the Thirteenth Amendment, which ended slavery in the United States. Those laws attempted to return freed slaves to something like their former condition by, among other things, restricting their movement, forcing them to enter into year-long labor contracts, and by preventing them from suing or testifying in court."
Finally, this section was in response to violence against black people within the southern states. A Joint Committee on Reconstruction found that only a Constitutional amendment could protect the rights and welfare of black people within those states"

It took real courage and will for the GOP to force these laws and amendments through to protect the freed slaves. And YOU, FOOL, you deny all of that. Who the h-ll do you work for? If you volunteer, for G-d's sake GROW UP.
