I am beginning to consider that Obama is not even a citizen. That he was never naturalized. Primarily based his flaky mother not bothering to do it and Obama being the slack ass he is probably never bothered with it either.
Quote from pspr:
LOL. Obama, are you going to sue every state that enacts a similar law or are you going to produce a birth certificate?
Or maybe you'll just quit now while you are a head. A small head but still a head.![]()
Quote from jem:
I supposed the left will start calling the whole state of Arizona birthers because they are showing respect for the U.S. Constitution.
For the first time in my adult life Arizona is making really proud.
Quote from jem:
this was supposed to be a joke based on reference to Michelle Obama's statement being happy to be an american for the first time in her adult life... ut the typo (leaving out the word "me") sort of hurt the delivery.
But even then opti zzz you miss my point... I am just happy there are politicians concerned enough about the constitution they are doing something about it.
You can see there are a few hundred scum democrats and republicans in Washington who do not care about anything other than re election.
For me this is not about Obama as it is about whether we have politicians who care about the rule of law which they are sworn to protect.
Quote from OPTIONAL777:
I would be fine if the movement were not about a sitting president.
If rules are passed for elections in 2016 that require better documentation than was good enough for Hawaii, and everyone else until after he was elected...that seems fair.
There is a reason that when legislation is passed that grandfathering in is common.
I don't see a reasonable solution at this point, as I am convinced that there is nothing in the world that will change the birther's opinions.
If a BC was produced, they would demand experts reviewed it...if these experts declared it valid, they would then attack the experts, etc.
There is no satisfying conspiracy theorists...especially when they have an irrational hatred for a sitting president.
I was a big critic of Bush, but I never hated him. I didn't like what he was doing, I thought he is and was a boob...but there is a line between criticism and blind hatred of the type we see with Obama by the birthers.
Quote from gastropod:
No, whether you liked Bush II or not is irrelevant. You would have to concede that Bush II was born to AMERICAN parents on AMERICAN soil. Birthers are often disparaged as though they are only saying that Obama was not born in America. Whether he was born in America is to some extent irrelevant. That Obama was NOT born to two Americans (with no respect to race) on American soil - that IS the problem! "Natural born citizen" is the kicker here. If Obama/Soetoro/??? gave up his citizenship when he lived in Indonesia...that is also in question. "Birther" is a perjorative used to marginalize those who are "strict Constitutionalists."

Quote from CaptainObvious:
It's bad because it feeds the stupidity. It's a distraction from reality. People want to impeach Obama. Fine! Impeach him for doing absolutely nothing to bring the financial terrorists to justice. No prosecutions, no indictments, nothing! Zero, Zip, Nada! That's a cause I can get behind. Birth certificates? Might as well be talking about the size of his dick, and about as relevant.
The republican party has turned into a carnival and the current line up of candidates is the freak show. You want to be taken seriously? Take on the serious issues! Otherwise, you're all a joke and you'll get your asses handed to you come 2012...and the nation will continue to suffer.

AZ âBirtherâ Bill Passes Senate â Requires Presidential Candidates to Show Proof of Citizenship
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, April 15, 2011, 10:14 AM
If Barack Obama wants to be included on the ballot in Arizona in 2012 he will have to show proof of citizenship. The Arizona senate passed their âbirtherâ bill last night. The bill will now be sent to Republican Governor Jan Brewer who will sign it into law.
