Mr Obama Can Not Be President ... |
|
.
The big game is coming up. The Fox Network 2012 Presidential Primary is in full swing. The Republicant Party is desperate for for a serious 'adult' candidate to appear to lead them to victory against liberals, progressives, socialists and commoners.
One tack the way-funny wacky right like to take is the 'birth certificate' issue. This goes along like "Mr Obama cannot be President because he does not show a birth certificate." For the benefit of these knuckle-dragging yahoos, you gotta know you are going about it all the wrong way.
Mrs Obama (the mother) was a natural born citizen of USA when she gave birth to her son in Hawaii in 1961 (provable fact, not in dispute!). This alone makes this whole line of discussion bogus.
Do not despair oh gradumacates of the Republicant Party Skool Of Konstitution And Komedy, I offer the following.
(I am really afraid to use the following because one can rest assured these jabronies will try to use it.)
Let us return the Constitution:
Article. II.
Section. 1.
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;"
Can not this clause be glennda-beck-understood to mean the 'founding fathers' make it crystal clear, _only_ natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, _at_the_time_ of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President? The Constitution was adopted in September 1787.
So by Mr Obama's own admission that he was born in 1961 (after 1787), he is not eligible to the Office of President.
Poof. Problem solved, Mr Obama is not President!. Declare victory. Move on, and you are welcome.
sophistry off.
Please Fox keep bringing this up. Please, please, please.

2. Let them chase their tails on this until election day.. they will just look all the more stupid. |
|
If there was actually anything to this I guarantee the Clinton machine would have flushed it out during the primaries in 2008.

4. I think it's reassuring |
|
that this is the best "scandal" they can come up with. It means there is nothing else: no shady business deals, no carousing, no skeletons really. So they have to question his citizenship. It's pathetic, but it's oddly reassuring.

dear in the last 100 years was also ineligible:
Reagan Bush (both) Nixon Eisenhower
EDIT:
Therefore, none of the policies they enacted with a stroke of the pen are valid either right? ;)

6. What kills about this is that even if it were true |
|
It wouldn't get them anything but Biden for President.
Have they ever asked to see Biden's Birth Certificate? Questioned who his parents are?
No. He's white. They can handle a Democrat in the WH, if he's white.
