The glibness of that Annenberg fact-challenged spin is striking! Especially the last paragraph. And in th enest to last that practically admit Obama has a serious problem if he never re-affirmed his US citizenship. Now would there be any paper notarized and signed by a US official attesting to his re-affirmation?

Gee willikers! Could Pakistan have picked a worse time to muscle in on India and threaten Israel (by implication) with nuclear counterstrikes? I mean, after all, it is records of Obama's trip to Pakistan that could hold the key to his future, now isn't it?

Here's the last deuce from the Annenberg fact-challenged spin-team:

The newest falsehood goes like this: Obama was legally adopted by his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, and thus lost his American citizenship in favor of Indonesian citizenship. Sorry, that’s bogus, too. Because Obama was born in the U.S., he could not lose his citizenship as a child. It could be revoked only if he became a citizen of another country as an adult, and if that country didn’t permit dual citizenship. A glance at the relevant statute shows that all the conditions for loss of nationality are reserved for people over 18 — except for treason, fighting for a hostile army and formal renunciation of citizenship, all of which Obama was a bit young for at age 6. In two of those cases, his citizenship still would have been safe as long as he affirmed it when he turned 18. (Loss of citizenship for treason has no exemptions.)
We’ve even seen a rather jaw-dropping variant that holds that Obama can’t be a citizen because he was born to a teenage mother. Don’t fall for this one, either. Its rationale involves a lot of hand-waving and some twisting of a law that doesn’t apply to people born in the United States (section G here). It’s just another example of a rumor scrambling for a foothold.

Oh, maybe treason is a part of this mix after all. Still the man was elected in a bloody landslide!

They left something out. You can also lose your citizenship if you sign an oath or swear loyalty to another country. Now an Indonesian passport has to be renewed every 5 years. If he traveled to Pakistan on one, it would have had to have been renewed after his 18th birthday. Now it depends on what he had to sign to get the passport or what it says on the passport above his signature. If it indicates that he is asserting allegiance to that country, then he renounced his citizenship by signing it.

Maybe. Maybe not. When the Chicago political machine is going full steam ahead, brings in ACORN, has voters register and/or vote multiple times, brings in more voters than there are adults in an area, etc., nobody will ever know if he actually won or, if he did, if it truly was a landslide.
