What difference will it make to the US anyway whether or not Obama is American?
To the American's who bleat on about how Obama hasn't produced a birth certificate and that if he hasn't got one then he shouldn't be president?
Don't you realise that the President is just a figurehead for the people that are really in power , the ones behind the scenes pushing his buttons and telling him what to say , and that they themselves ARE NOT American but a multinational conglomerate of Elitists who value Money over welfare of the citizenry.
Their not American either but you don't hear the US people complaining about them, do you?
That way if the people in power make a wrong choice then the President is the one who'll get roasted by the public or in the worst case scenario end up headbutting a bullet?

If you open the vote to any immigrant or foreigner to running for the highest office in the land you open it up for situations where Osama Bin Ladin or a cohort can get citizenship, then ship enough of their follower in the right states to vote, then you have them as president. I know it is out there, but it is possible to mess up an election. This rule was enacted so a brit couldn't get to power. It is there, as are other parts of the Constitution, to protect your rights and the country as a whole. That is why it is the one of the greatest documents ever conceived.
God Bless America and let an full blooded American run this great country. I hope the truth comes out in the wash.

I will admit obama has been dodgy on this matter.
especially after his own Kenyan grandma did say he was born in Kenya.
So his grandma is lying on him...WHY granny why would you lie on me..
truth is either way it needs to be addressed to let the puppy go to bed.
And Mr.berg..A good lawyer is seeing that it is.
I know i don't want a non American born as president..therefor whats wrong with him havering to show us?
It's my belief that people still carrying on about this simply can't cope with having a brown-skinned President.

I personally don't think it matters if he was born here or not.
It doesn't change his ability to lead.
And it's not like if he was born in Kenya that that means he was there for a long time, no, he grew up in America so he is an American at heart.
I don't understand why anyone would be so worried "Oh, is he legal??"
It has nothing to do with if he's legal.
It has to do with if he can LEAD, and I believe he can.

Oh, so lets not pay attention to the Constitution if it is inconvenient.
The law is the law. The simple fact this case has made it to the Supreme Court tells me something is fishy. Cases just don't automatically get assigned to the SCOTUS. They wouldn't waste their time if they didn't doubt what has already been produced. This demand by the SCOTUS speaks volumes regarding his citizenship. This won't even be broadcast by the MSM - we'll continue to hear about Palin's "infighting" and gay rights. Distractions for the masses.
I need to research how he could have been voted in as Senator if he had indeed been illegal. Maybe the background checks were more lax? I dunno.
BTW, I said IF no IS...

You republicans really are like deranged psychopathic stalkers, get rejected and it just makes you even more insane. Obama isn't going anywhere, you better just get used to it. His birth certificate has been verified, it's over, stop living in denial and face reality.

1. Think of how many times you have to show your Birth Certificate. School, Drivers License, Passport, etc. This really should be no big deal for Obama to produce.
Maybe so but it will need to look authentically from 1961 or whenever he was born. It will be scrutinized closely. Look how easy they debunked the other one that was passed around.

If he did not have a legal birth certificate (Which I honestly don't think he does otherwise this would not have been blown out of proportion..
I think he has enough friends in high places now to produce a copy making him legal.
Hell, he could get one saying he lived on the moon for all he cares.

People really should think more......
