Hey Obama

[Mervyn]

Please understand that I'm not a birther in the slightest , and I only listen to American politics with half an ear at most.

But even with half an ear Donald Trump is becoming very annoying, could you please release a copy of your Birth Certificate ? I know it won't stop the birther's but maybe just maybe it will shut Trump up.

? I know it won't stop the birther's .....

Exactly what the White House says.

Are there any non-white birthers or all they all just good 'ol boys upset that some uppity darky got into the WHITE House.

LOL....it's hard to see a black guy as POTUS for these folks...especially when their seein it from their trailer or farmhouse...or their militia bunker...

 

[papasmerf]

it is not hard at all to see Obama as president.

But for some they just want to see the Birth Certificate.

I an not sure why in that he is the President and all this is too late to be concerned with.

I for one remember the last time you went off on this and the same arguments still apply. You got down right silly. it's a red herring of the first degree so not going to bit.

Like I say the whole point is several years late.

 

[onthebottom]

Why stop your adversaries from making fools of themselves.... I think the POTUS is playing this right. I'm not quite sure who these real "birthers" are, when you have the likes of Palin and Bachman discrediting them I think you're a long way off the beaten track.

OTB

 

[WoodPeckr]

I'm not quite sure who these real "birthers" are, ...

They are simple 'special' GOPers who rode to school on the short bus and probably get all their education from the 'Mother-of-all-Blowhards' El Rushbloe....

Soooooo


they are in their teens?

 

[WoodPeckr]

Mentally .....yes....

It is fitting since MOST are a few fries short of a 'happy meal'...

Ya, like 155 years to late.

 

[danmand]

Ya, like 155 years to late.

146 by my calculation.

 

[Aardvark154]

Of course were the President about two years younger, this would entirely be a non-issue.*


* Due to changes in the Immigration and Nationality Act which took effect in 1962.

New math.

What were the changes, and how would they impact Obama?

 

[Scarey]

The Democrats are getting more traction out of this issue then they ever could have dreamed.I'd bet good money he goes all shifty eyed at the next Presidential news conference just to make them whoop and holler some more lolol.

 

[WoodPeckr]

Since ditzy Sarah Palin appears to have been thrown under the bus, a replacement for her is called for. The Donald may fill this void as 'the new gift that keeps giving'!....:crazy:

From memory. A U.S. National mother married to a foreign national husband, can transmit U.S. Nationality to a child born overseas; previously only fathers could do so.

Congress and the Courts have held since the early 1800's that Jus Soli Nationals are "Native Born." Basicly you can read the "Native Born" article as 'no naturalized citizen shall be elegable for election as President of the United States.'

The more important date is December 6, 1865 - The Thirteenth Amendment of the US Constitution was ratified officially abolishing slavery.

In name, but it translated into something more resembling serfdom in the South. The failed experiment of the reconstruction didn't help. Southeners were never going to except equality, simply because it was legislated.
