Amazing! The guy basically admits that he thinks Obama is not a natural born citizen.

[null and void]

And to quote Reily:

The way GOP’ers should answer criticism from the MSM & Rats
is the following:

Rat(or MSM): Bring up Zero and claim GOP’er is aiming this at Zero

GOP’er: Know it is not, some states have required it in the past (Cite Eisenhower) I think its a good idea (Cite the Central American Socialist candidate) why do you keep bringing up Zero, do you think he has a problem?

Rat: Continues to claim its aimed at Zero

GOP’er: You must really be worried about Zero, I am sure he will be fine.

Rat: Sputters more about Zero, claims racism.

GOP’er: Do you really think Zero has a problem in making this requirement?

The GOP’er must stay on that message and NOT be lured off it.

He must throw it right back at those who object and ask why the objections if Zero is eligible.

This really isn't hard to figure out or do, but apparently beyond the intellectual capacity and self discipline of the average GOP state legislator. Why do we elect such fools at the city, county, state & federal level?

I wonder if this is what this lunatic would have said if it were Arnold Schwarzenegger who were going to run?

I’m thinking Meacham’s not only missed the forest, but even a single tree. Before one can determine “citizen” in the broadest sense of the word, one must determine place of birth; before one can determine “natural born,” one must determine who both parents are. And those facts are not only difficult to prove, they’re just the first couple of twigs in a rather large forest.

From the guy who, when he was done with Newsweek, it was worth $1.

That’s not just for one copy of Newsweak, that’s for the entire company.

...since there are no longer any Prussian noblemen, there must not be any more risk to having an immigrant with loyalties to a foreign power in charge of our military.

No, there aren't many Prussian noblemen goosestepping around these days, but there seems to be several hundred Saudi princes milling about.

I wonder is Mr. Meacham is open to "adjusting" the following:

"Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of ... the press"

After all, what's good for the goose is good for the gander!

Hillsdale college had a townhall webcast on economic liberty this morning which was advertised on Rush, Hannity and other talk shows. At the very end a question was asked on eligibility. This happened hardly 10 minutes ago.

The president of Hillsdale opposed judicial oversight of eligibility suggesting it amounts to tyranny! Poppycock!

He suggested while impeachment could be a better remedy for such a situation it SHOULD NOT BE USED in such case because ineligibility would not be an impeachable offense!

When Hillsdale College claims to teach the constitution and its own president, Larry P. Arnn, says, essentially, there's no controlling legal authority on something as fundamental as a candidate's qualification for elective office who do we look to for enforcement of our foundational document and excellence in education on the same?

Wow. Why not advocate the repeal of the need for elections, too?

Meacham went insane at Newsweak......He’s the perfect PBS/NPR/CPB drone.

Meacham discovered that the clause is founded on fears of European noblemen being president.

I heard or read many, many years ago the clause was added by Hamilton's foes to prevent him from ever being president. I think he would qualify according under "or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution" clause.

I -- like, I suspect, many of you -- have watched the NATIVIST and irrational obsession with Barack Obama's birth certificate with disdain, horror, bemusement -- and then back to horror.

What a sack of rubbish!

Jon Meacham calls those who respect and wish to protect our sovereignty -- as a free people -- nativist!

The "progressive" twits call those who wish to preserve the integrity of their country 'nativist' 'racists' and 'xenophobes.'

Un-freakin'-believable!
