Is Barack Obama a natural born citizen of The United States?
Is he constitutionally eligible to be POTUS?
If not, why?
I find this issue and its recent surge in the mainstream media (Lou Dobbs etc.) to be fascinating.

Re: Is Barack Obama a natural born citizen of The United States?
Not enough evidence. Obama, despite repeated demands, has never presented the evidence that he's eligible to be president. That fact that his lawyers keep finding ways to avoid the issue when it is raised in court strongly suggests to me that he has something to hide. (I.e., why doesn't he just do the simple thing and present his birth certificate?)

Need another poll choice: "I really have no idea and really don't give a rat's ass. He's doing a better-than-expected job at the moment and that's all I care about."

Need yet another poll choice: Hell no, and he absolutely picked the wrong eye shadow for the tie he's wearing during his lapdog press conference.

I think you would invest your time better asking if peanut butter or jelly should go on the bread first.
In other words, are you serious?

Re: Is Barack Obama a natural born citizen of The United States?
Are you crazy? What kind of liberal B.S. is that, Bill? Are you trying to inflict socialism on all the rest of us? Who do you think you are to tell us that we should do as you say? If we do that, we may as well bring Hugo Chavez in to run this place!
Peanut butter first! First our gov't suggests we stop using torture as a method of interrogation, then they say we should be more responsible when it comes to environmental issues, then you try to change the way the All-American sammich is made! I can't take it any more!Greg

Re: Is Barack Obama a natural born citizen of The United States?
If you took the profit motive out of construction, like King Hussein wants to do with health care, would the country be better off? Did you know that doctors take out tonsils because they can get more money from medicare than for alternative treatments? If you believe that nonsense coming from the chosen one's lips tonight, then indeed the citizenship question doesn't make any difference whatsoever. Not to mention the racists police force in Cambridge Mass., who behaved stupidly for arresting the black Harvard professor.
Great job, Mr. President.

And another poll choice: We don't care. We're Americans. Anybody who tells us there IS such thing as a free lunch, we'll elect him.

The answer is no, but it's too late now.

Re: Is Barack Obama a natural born citizen of The United States?
I got a hunch the numbers that think according to the statement above are dwindling, and fast. The birth certificate issue just might be what gets Obama out of office. In reality though, if it is, it will be more about his incompetence and lack of qualification, but it will just be easier to use the birth certificate as the reason. The link below is not going to bode well for Obama. It will probably be less about of his policies that will do him in, but if it comes down to a birth certificate, I'll take it. He's just got to go! More people will start seeing and admitting he's got a chip on his shoulder as well as sat at the feet of Jeramiah Wright too long. This is still his first year, can we make it til 2012? Anyway, based on his character and intelligent level, there will be more screw ups to come.

Re: Is Barack Obama a natural born citizen of The United States?
Huh? The Cambridge police did act stupidly, with prejudice and arrogance. It's what police do- they just did it to someone there who had the ability to draw national attention. If it was me I'd have a nuisance complaint on my record and no way to get around the fact that the police can and very often do trump up charges and lie to support one another to justify arrogant and what would be (for anyone not a police officer) illegal actions.
But go Steve- you've never had any doubts.http://www.lavrans.com

Can't we just go back to a poll tax instead?
