We can do an end run around the Obama Complicity Cabal and still attract proper attention to the Constitutional national security issue of POTUS eligibility by denying Rubio the kind of free pass that Obama got.
And if Rubio is not eligible (and he most definitely is NOT, since his parents were not US citizens when he was born) then neither is Obama.
He has integrity, for now.

Answer to question in headline: No.
Well, let's see: Rubio was a Mormon as a kid for several years...which, if what Romney says about the "faith of his fathers" is true, then both Romney & Rubio were "spirit born" on a planet near the star Kolob.
That would make both as originating not only beyond the United States, but Planet Earth as well.
So...we're going to have TRUE "aliens" from another planet be THE leaders of the free world???
Hmmm...wonder if a new movement will crop up...called 'Spirit Birthers'...
Rubio, whose national ascent has been propelled by a tea party that demands absolute fealty to the Constitution, shrugged off the issue.In other words, treating the US Constitution as the law of the land is demanding "absolute fealty to the Constitution"?
Liberals are cockroaches.
The original American ethnic stock is no longer important. It's time to replace them with La gente del futuro.
Viva la Raza.
If the Repubs put Rubio on the ticket it is for sure they lose my vote and perhaps anyone I can convince why. Principle and concience does matter to some people.There are questions about Romney without mudding the water with Rubio’s eligibility. Attitude goes for any Repub candidate.
One thing is for certain that you can bet your entire family’s net worth on:
If he gets to a position where this matters, the media will apply EVERY scintilla of their power to investigate him and every member of his family in as an extreme and thorough fashion as they can possibly muster, twist every finding and opinion they can, and repeat in unison till hell freezes over that he is ineligible for that office.
they say Romney should keep Biden as VP -- well in terms of usefulness that's like saying Romney should garner a warm bucket of piss for VP.
Put Rubio's name into the hat and do it with a fanfare.
Then when the media goes after him the Native born vs. Natural born issue will get the play it deserves.
The "Birther's" have missed the entire point as it DOES NOT MATTER were zero was born.
Short answer is no and the long answer would be no.
Yes, period.
do we want to elect him?
does he want to run?
those are different issues.
No period. Intellectual dishonesty reigns supreme in US culture and the news media.
Does it matter? No.
zero has already proven that
Who cares...he is weak for going with Romney!
I don’t care for him, regardless.
This is why the Republican establishment ignores Obama. They don’t care anymore about the constitution then the Libs do.
In about Feb., 2008, when I first heard of Barack Obama as a candidate for President; I started reading on the web what I could. I had never heard of him.
As soon as I ran upon the info about his parents, I told my teenage son, “He can’t be President, His father wasn’t a citizen.” We learned that in elementary school.
Btw, they don’t teach that in Elem school anymore. We are living in times just like they were in the Prophet Isaiah’s days when every man did what was right in his own eyes. I shudder to think what we may have to endure for God to teach another generation about his ways.
Study history, every generation has to be taught. They will learn it willingly from God’s people or they will learn it by experience. The choice is up to the people.
If you are trusting God, he will take care of you. Do not fear what is coming upon us. If you are going your own way, prepare for the painful lesson that is coming.
This is a copy of a letter I wrote (received no reply) to the Supreme Court. I wrote several letters to Senator Byrd and Rockefellor, Congressman Rahall, my Secretary of State, Hawaii officials, etc. early in this situation.

The Honorable Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of the
United States of America
John Roberts
1 First Street, N.E
Washington, D.C. 20543
January 12, 2009
Dear Justice Roberts,
I am a 57 year old semi-retired public school teacher. I spent more than thirty years in a career as a public accountant/tax preparer. I have voted in every election since I became eligible. Until about 20 years ago, I was very active politically and associated myself with the Democrat party. I ran for local office in 1988 and 1990. It was during my experience as a candidate that I got my real education in US Government.
In my accounting work, I began to see the baby boomers spending the wealth of their parents and grandparents. I knew that in about 20 years there would be no money in the banks and our financial system would crumble because I knew these savings were the foundation of our banking system. I watched this generation pass laws allowing themselves to confiscate their parent’s wealth and place the parents in nursing homes at taxpayer expense. I watched them deregulate banks and tempt old folks and young folks to invest their money in stocks only to lose the money. I personally confronted a broker here in our local bank several times over the last 7 years because he was giving bad advice to retired people. He felt no responsibility for misguiding these old people who lost their retirement money. Anyone with common sense saw the credit collapse coming for a long time.
I grew up being taught that we are a government of, by, and for the people. My eyes and ears have been telling me for quite some time now that this is not true. If there is any hope for our government, it will be in the young people who, if we don’t stand up now when we should, will probably have to rise up in revolution not long from now. I pray daily for the Lord to please save our children. I agree with Thomas Paine, do you?
“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.” - Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1, December 19, 1776
Our Creator started us out with only 1 law. He knew that when we start choosing what we want instead of what is right and good, we will do evil. After this 1 rule was broken, his law was expanded to 10 laws because people had begun to be jealous and want what others had. They chose to lie, steal, and kill to have it. They no longer honored their parents or their Creator or his law. Things have only gone downhill since then. The first system God set up for the Hebrews had righteous judges and was similar to our government system. We are now a world filled with people who follow all kinds of laws. In our country, the many laws have become so numerous that I know of no one who can count or understand them all. But, if there is any hope for our system of government, it must be in our law and you, our judges.
Just as I use the Bible as my authority for daily living, I use the Constitution as my authority in my civic life. I pay my taxes and try not to break any laws. I raised my children and encourage my fellow citizens to do the same. We are a beacon and a light to the rest of the world. If we are to continue to shine, we must follow our Constitution.
The issue at hand is the fact that President-elect Obama is not a natural born citizen and is not eligible to be our President. His father was a British citizen, a student here on visa, and his mother was a teenager. If this is allowed, it means any foreign power can send over a male to seduce a teenager and then supply the financial means to place that male in the office of President of the United States of America, the most powerful office in the world.
When I was in high school, I recall hearing that someone in Russia said that America would be taken without firing a shot. Right now, I feel as though I might be seeing that with my very own eyes.
John Jay, the alpha, and you, the omega, of our Supreme Court of these United States should have the say here. John Jay was clear when he wrote to George Washington in 1787, “Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administraAtion of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.”
Just as he stood up in the beginning, you must stand up now, or I fear you are the end of our Constitution.
In a January 20, 2008 New York Times interview, Obama’s sister, Soetoro-Ng said, “I have a bumper sticker on my car that says: ‘1-20-09. End of an Error’”… Was this sticker prophetic?
I wrote under FOI requests to my Secretary of State twice, and to my state Supreme Court. I have received no replies. I am enclosing copies of letters I received from my Congressman, Nick Rahall, and my Senator, Robert Byrd. Both of them lay this squarely in your lap. I wrote to them because I knew President Bush was objected to during the count of his electoral votes. I expected them to have debate on this Obama issue. It did not happen. I fear that if Obama does not have to comply with the law, an attitude will form and soon take hold that no one has to comply with any law. I, for one, do not want to live in a land of the lawless. In my pursuit of happiness, peace is what I find myself most often striving for. It is a great thing and desired by all.
I truly believe the US Supreme Court is the only earthly hope of sustaining our government, our land, and our witness to the world.
Respectfully submitted for your consideration,

No, and neither are Bobby Jindal, Barack Obama or Mitt Romney.
