But there never was a mystery about his Father’s Kenyan (British) background. Yet in the months leading up to the election there were hundreds of posts claiming he wasn’t natural born because he was born in Kenya, but not one citing these claims. Why was that?
The founders wrote into the Constitution the eligibility requirements for the expressed purpose of preventing a man of dividied loyalties from becoming president. Obama's British citizenship at birth because of his British sobject father who was in no way an Ameircan citizen is precisely what the eligibilty requirements were aimed to address and prevent such a man from becoming president. Letters from John Jay (first Chief Justice SCOTUS) to George Washington and the subsequent letters and congressional records (like the quote from Binham I posted earlier) reveal that the founders expected a natural born American to be someone from two American citizen parents. There would be/would have been no controversy over Chester A. Arthur were it only one American citizen parent would be sufficient to be natural born. Arthur's father did not become an American citizen until well after Arthur was born, regardless of where he was born to his American citizen mother.
I don’t know. To me it was the perfect storm leading up to the election. Drive gas prices up to panic levels, tank the stock market...”FEAR”...no one paying attention to details, not many (ashamed to say I am guilty also) who really know what our constitution says. I think I slept through that in school not realizing what I was missing, do they even teach it anymore?
I tend to see Obama as more of a trojan horse who is carrying all the cronies from the Clinton era...a fall guy..to accomplish a bigger evil, destroy our freedoms, take us where we will accept a new one world order. And Obama’s financial support was HUGE..some of the money no one knows where it came from. Is he expendable? He came out of no where. He doesn’t strike me as a leader, he seems unsure of himself..more of a puppet. I don’t know. It is the to many I don’t knows that I don’t like.
Information that is hidden is information that is to be feared. Knowledge is power.
