He wasn’t born in Hawaii. He was born in Kenya and lived there, along with his mother who was taking correspondence courses from the University of Washington, for the first two years of his life.
The issue of exactly where on the planet our fearlessly ineligible leader was born is without a solution. We cannot definitively prove he was born in Kenya. He cannot definitively prove he was born in Hawaii, although he has certainly made some very game and amusing tries.
"And what does it matter anyway?" I have been asking since the beginning when this charlatan first appeared upon the national scene. The man's father was not an American citizen.
To me, that is the beginning and the end of the eligibility story. Upon reaching his majority, Obama could have legitimately claimed, UK, Kenyan, Indonesian, or American Citizenship. A "Natural Born Citizen," could not possibly do that.
Any state's election board could, acting within its constitutional powers, ban this man from its ballots. They and the courts have shirked their duties in leaving this discussion to us.
In regard to the place of birth: What the WH released to the world was NOT a "Certified Copy of a Birth certificate." It was the White House's home-made copy of an "Abstract of Data on File" at the Hawaiian DOH. Sheriff Joe is wise to that trick, so we need say no more about it.
But Sheriff Joe has no power in Hawaii. All he can do is present evidence to the Arizona electoral authorities, who have the power to remove Obama from the ballot in that state on the grounds of constitutional ineligibility. Obama is of course, free to challenge their decision in court. Or not.
To run for President a candidate need not be on the ballot in every state. So if Sheriff Joe and the Arizonans follow through, Obama may decide to do without them!
