“Yep, the FEC most likely wouldn’t say he was ineligible but they would not have given him the funds, just as happened in this case.”


What are you talking about? The FEC pretty clearly said that Mr. Hassan is ineligible:

“Clear and self-avowed constitutional ineligibility for office is one of the few instances where the Commission’s exercise of its discretion to withhold funds is appropriate. Because Mr. Hassan has clearly stated that he is a naturalized citizen of the United States, and not a natural born citizen under the constitutional requirement in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, the Commission concludes that Mr. Hassan is not eligible to receive matching funds.”

Why wouldn’t the FEC have given him funds? They gave funds to Joe Biden, who’s never produced any documentation proving he was born in Scranton. They gave funds to Mike Gravel, whose parents were French-Canadian immigrants. What would make Obama different from them?

Other than a foreign national for a father who, through descent, made Obama a natural born subject of Great Britain, or the part about not legally being able to prove he was born in the United States???
