I’m paying attention daily and I’m worried beyond belief at the 15+ czars (unconstitutional), the signing statements (he’s a hypocrite for blasting Bush when he’s doing the same thing), closing Gitmo, healthcare takeover, raising taxes on those of us that are successful, taking over GM and Chrysler, etc. Trust me, I get it. He scares the HELL OUT OF ME.
His approval ratings are dropping, people realize Change for the sake of Change is crap. Keep the change, I say.
I’d rather attack him daily on his policies and philosophy than going after a citizenship issue that CAN’T BE PROVEN! I don’t see how you can win this.
But hey, I’m out of touch
It can be proven. And it actually doesn't require a birth certificate. What's required is the 'official' definition of what constitutes a 'natural born citizen'.
Now, if that definition says that both of your parents have to be US citizens, well Obama is screwed. If the definition says it's ok for one or both of your parents to be foreigners as long as you were born on US soil obviously he would be legit. It's as simple as that.
The trick is to get some official ruling on his status. And you are perhaps correct here- it would probably be impossible to get the SCOTUS to rule on it.
But, and this is where it gets interesting. If this bill the Congressman who is in the linked video is talking about gets passed it could be that it would eliminate Barry from running again in 2012. This is what I believe has the Lefties so pissed off about all this. We can accomplish this and I think this is what you anti-birthers are missing. We can maybe eliminate the guy from running again in 2012 and that makes it a legitimate tactic worth pursuing.
