He probably isnt a legal citizen. Your commander in chief is not a US national. He is ineligible to be President.
Yeah well get over it.
You know it, I know it, Nobama knows it. But a sad fact is, nothing can be done about it but whine and complain that does no good.
You want change, vote against him in 2012.
Cause we can't do anything about it unless you're planing osmehting with a rifle, and even then that won't get anything done(secret Service is too good at what they do) but sending you to prison.

Watch what happens when the whole country finds out the truth, and it gets on the MSM.
Learn how to spell! or at least use a spell check
However to avoid being scolded I will ask what will happen?
Suppose for a moment the Birthers are right. Obama is not able to be president cause of birth issues.

I can understand people being pissy, Obama has done a crap job so far, but pissy AND uneducated is a combo I just can't stand.

What do you mean nothing can be done! Watch what happens when the whole country finds out the truth, and it gets on the MSM. I personally don't think it will but he would be on the street faster than Treason.
Right now it is not that big an issue because I am sure that more than half the country has no Idea this is going on.

Ok. Suppose the "birthers" are right. American citizens have zero ability to impeach a president.
Proposals would variously limit jus soli citizenship under the
Constitution to persons born to:
parents both of whom are either citizens or lawful permanent
residents (doesn’t expressly repeal the current Citizenship Clause);67
mothers who are legal residents (expressly repeals the current
Citizenship Clause);68
mothers who are citizens or legal residents (expressly repeals the
current Citizenship Clause);69
mothers or fathers who are citizens (doesn’t expressly repeal the
current Citizenship Clause);70
mothers or fathers who are citizens or persons who owe permanent
allegiance to the United States (doesn’t expressly repeal the current
Citizenship Clause);71
mothers or fathers who are legal residents (expressly repeals the
current Citizenship Clause);72
Even after the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Fourteenth Amendment and the Wong Kim Ark decision secured automatic birthright citizenship for all persons born in the U.S. and subject to its jurisdiction,

Who cares Geladinhu? Only those who believe our federal government, its officers, employees, and representatives should be required to obey the Constitution. It's been the historical lack of abiding by the Constitution that's now leading the USA into becoming the USSA. Our president, who refuses to prove his eligibility, now is the prime architect of this transformation into a socialist welfare nanny one party fascist state. And yes, Bush was also guilty of leading us down this path.
Goldwater, McCain, and Romney were all born outside of the US; Goldwater in AZ Territory, McCain in Panama, and Romney in Mexico. All were challenged by the Democrats and all proved they were eligible.
Some are arguing apples and oranges as many countries claim jurisdiction over an individual who is born to a citizen of their country, particularly if they were born in that country. But it has no effect on US law if one of the parents, not both as some say, was born in the US and in the past in the case of the mother she was of the age of majority.
Currently, disregarding the father's nationality, if a child is born to a woman of any age anywhere who's a US citizen, the child is considered natural born. That was not always the case, particularly at the time of Obama's birth. A female US citizen had to be of legal age, 21 at the time, if outside the US or the child was considered to have the father's nationality. In Obama's case, if he was born outside the US this meant he would be a British citizen as his Kenyan father was a British subject. US law provided for a means to apply for automatic US citizenship in such cases but they weren't considered natural born citizens.
So the question is, are there any subsequent US laws now covering underage US women outside the US confering retroactive citizenship status? I don't know the answer but my speculation is there's no such law. Thus Obama wouldn't be eligible. Thus he has a duty to the American people to produce a long form Hawaiian birth certificate proving he was born in a Hawaiian hospital. Otherwise he should be impeached and removed from office. Hawaii hasn't the constitutional right to say those born outside Hawaii were in fact born in Hawaii as it has done in the past, nor can it overrule US federal law. So Joe Biden would be our legal president (shudder). Of course he could step aside and let Pelosi become president.
What should be done is an appellate court should have the cojones to take up the issue and clarify this mess for Obama and others once and for all, even if it leads to a constitutional crisis. If citizens with the right to vote in national elections don't have standing to bring suit in federal courts on this issue then they have no right to decide whom the political parties put up to run and we don't have a democratic Republic.
So for you Geladinhu, the Constitution does matter to some of us, particularly us veterans who own Bibles and guns and thus are considered a threat to the Fatherland, oops, I mean Homeland. Otherwise, Sieg Heil Comrade.
