Actually, I’m not even convinced he is a citizen. When he went to Asia, he was supposed to renounce his U. S. citizenship so he could attend school there. I’ve read reports that foreign national’s were not allowed to attend schools there.

If that’s true, did he adopt citizenship in Asia and forsake citizenship here?

If so, did he re-establish citizenship here?

I don’t hang my hat on this being true, but it is a legitimate issue to be researched and laid to rest.

There is something up with this guy. He doesn’t think like a U. S. Citizen. He humiliates the U. S. at every opportunity. I’d like to know why? Why is it so easy for this guy to trash the U. S. and bow on behalf of the nation to other world leaders?

He may be a citizen. I may even be a natural born citizen. In his heart, he IS NOT. In his heart he is a citizen of the world, or at the very least some other sector of the world other than the United States.

Let the guy go rule somewhere he does love. Spare us.

I’m not convinced he’s a citizen either. But I’ll give him that BOTD. Since has no bearing on his qualifications for POTUS

Correction...

He may be a citizen. He may even be a natural born citizen...

I am definitely a natural born citizen, but I’m not supplying my long form to prove it. ;^)

You are getting warmer . . .

I think you are right if (and one must concede that that is a big "if") he was born abroad he was not a citizen much less a natural born citizen because his mother was not old enough.

My belief on this matter is that there is a plausible scenario by which Obama could have been born abroad and certified as having been born in Hawaii upon the fraudulent application of his mother or grandmother under the laws that existed in the state of Hawaii. In fact, if he were born abroad and was not a citizen that would provide a great motivation in the Dunhams to find a quick and easy way to get a birth certificate and passport without the bother, expense and time delay of applying for citizenship for Barak which might consume some years.

However, it is necessary to say that there is no credible affirmative evidence whatsoever that Obama was born anywhere but in Hawaii and there is affirmative evidence that he was born in Hawaii.

But since the scenario exists, it is not a tinfoil position to question his eligibility for office. Our politicians and our talk show hosts ran from the subject and cowered in the dark because of Obama's race. One must recall that at the time of the campaign it was illegitimate even to use Obama's middle name for fear of being called a racist. So the issue is settled and sealed in concrete and it has become equivalent of being a Truther to even raise the issue.

you’re right - he doesn’t THINK like a citizen..

But I believe I read that if a child’s parents declare him to be a citizen of another country, he is not to be held to their decision...and has until his 18th or 21st birthday to re-establish his citizenship??

Maybe he ‘missed’ the cut-off date...
