The snarky comments are reflective of the fact that we’ve been talking about this literally for almost THREE YEARS at this point. It’s frustration you hear in those snarky comments. Especially when we find ourselves having to explain over and over again WHY we question his eligibility.
And, if you don’t think upholding the Constitution, and the possible failure of our Congress to do so isn’t an important issue, then... well... I can’t think of ANYTHING more important than enforcing the Constitution.
The only ones who look less than bright are those who are taking a POLITICIAN at his word — despite ALL history, and our own life experience tells us. Where there is smoke there is fire... And this has been smoldering for, as I said, THREE YEARS. It’s not “all of a sudden” this is important. Perhaps YOU have not been aware of it till recently but a great many of us (as well as about 400 lawsuits starting during the election itself) prove that this is nothing “new”.
Again though — this new law in AZ has nothing to do with Obama himself. It will apply to ALL candidates equally. The law is sound, and needed...
One more thing — Obama may well be an American Citizen through his mother Stanley Ann (although the laws in place at the time of his birth in Hawaii - her state of residence at his birth - leave open the question of whether she was old enough to transfer citizenship upon Barack at birth). There is NO QUESTION that Barack was born with AT THE LEAST - dual citizenship with the US AND Britain. He is NOT a NATURAL BORN Citizen. Much different that being a “citizen” alone...
I do understand your reasoning re: the frustration. I do not blame you for that certainly.
