Obama was Never Declared Eligible to Run for President

Dude, let it go. Some of you people are going from the extreme to the
ridiculous with this issue. Let it go; Mr Obama is our PRESIDENT!

Too bad he was not declared ineligable. He is turning out to be the
worst president ever. It would save him the embarassment that has been
his presidency.

I am a serious conversative to the Nth degree. I did not vote for
Obama and was very disappointed when he was awarded the presidency
HOWEVER with that said he IS the president...I will respect that as I
respect the position. Although I am not an Obama supporter I do hope
he succeeds and I do hope he does a great job because our economy
can't afford otherwise.

Rather than question old news about his birth location/country it is
now time to accept it and if you have issues with polices I would then
ask what have you done? With the stimilus bill...have you written to
or called your senator? Have you taken any action steps?

I guess what I am saying is time to move forward in a positive
direction and when there is something in policy you disagree with
respect others opinions but take action steps to get involved. You
can't complain and yet do nothing.

This argument has been made before. I have a question in reply: if he
is indeed "ineligible" as you have proposed, why then has he been
granted security clearances by all the intelligance services?
We do have the very best in the world, so how can one man fool them
all? And if he could, then isn't there a bigger problem than just
Obama not being eligible for the presidency?

All I know is....

When I was 14(mid 70's) and was trying to get my first job in NC and
needed a birth certificate from Massachussetts,it was very easy.

I called directory assistance,got the number for the Plymouth County
clerk of courts and they gave me an address to send my $5 (or whatever
it was) I sent it with all my information and within two weeks I had
it.

No computers,no faxes,no cell phones.We had no cable or even a remote
for crying out loud,two stations with rabbit ears on a good day and it
only took me two weeks to produce my birth certificate so....

If Obama is a legal citizen in thie age if technology,why not produce
his birth certificate and shut the mouths of all those in doubt?
Unless,you can't.

I posted my concerns below.

In addition I have questions. How is it change we can believe in
when:

Half of Obama's appointees have tax issues, yet they want us all to
pay more taxes. Do as they say not like they do, yet Joe the Plumber
gets anihalated for owing $1500 in back taxes to another state, simply
for asking a question.

Obama is fearmongering this bill to be passed by saying things like
"don't get hung up on the details"

Rasmussan has 37 percent of American approval rating of the stimulus
bill, which is nothing but a wishlist of pork submitted by Democrats
who have been held off during the Bush era.

Change we can believe in? By providing families with income upwards of
$82,000 with free child's healtcare? Why?

Why impose salary caps on companies that take tarp money and not make
it retroactively effective to when the program started lending? He
said something along the lines that if anyone gets government money,
it should be fairly regulated.

Which poses the question, if they say that, and politicians are ALSO
paid with government money (and you can see how well government is
run...no not really), why isn't it fair to demand that anyone that
gets a government job themselves including their family cannot have
net worth of more than $500,000?

Why are we giving money back to people who contribute zero taxes to
the system in the first place?

I am ready for answers, from you or anyone.

If the Census Brueau says that a child of 2 parents of different races
takes the race of the mother, why then is he the first "black"
president? Isn't his mother white? I never understood this.
Mike

You have not been informed. His mother was born and raised in the
United States. That makes her a US citizen.Barack thru her is a US
citizen. The fact that Barack was born in Hawaii( US Territory-last I
checked)makes him a US citizen.You should check the Census Bureau for
definition of race when a child is born of parents not of the same
race. I hate to inform all of you-Barack takes the race of his
mother-not his father. I will leave it a that. Please don't take my
word. Look it up for you satisfaction.

There is no way to edit a post, but wanted to add, I do not understand
why they doubt his citizenship as his mom was born in the United
States to parents(his grandparents) who were from Tipton, Indiana.
She married her husband in Hawaii and gave birth to her son(now our
president) in Hawaii. She never left the country until she married
her second husband 6 years after his birth. She sent him back to
Hawaii to live with his grandparents.

His mother is also a distant cousin of former U.S. Vice President Dick
Cheney and former U.S. President Harry S Truman.

You can read a bio of his mom at the address below.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Dunham

It does not matter where he was born as his mother was an American
citizen. His mother was born at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, United
States, If a citizen of the United States and a citizen of any other
country have a child together, that child has dual citizenship until
they are an adult. He grew up in this country. Just accept it, he
won.

Another person pointed out that he is bi-racisl rather than black.
Yes this is true, but who cares? He is already getting to work on
improving our lives.

Congratulations, President Obama! That was the best hour of my day
today!

Can we just all put everything aside and say "Thank you" to Bush for
his years of service, even if you did not agree with him. And, on the
other side, a big "Congratulations" to Obama and well wishes to him
and his staff in the future. May they do this country proud.

I am no fan of Barack Obama but I am so sick and tired of hearing this
from fellow Republicans and other Obama-dissenters.

Listen, this notion that Obama is not a natural born citizen is horse
hockey. I think it's about time we stop clogging up our federal court
system and wasting our resources with these frivilous lawsuits against
Obama, when our economy is bleeding out money.

Obama went up against the Clintons and the entire GOP. If these two
groups of highly influential and well-funded resources couldn't prove
anything, there is no proof. Simple as that. I don't doubt for a
second that Hillary and the GOP didn't try and dig up as much dirt
about this citizenship thing as possible. There is no smoking gun.
He is legit. His election was legit. Although the conspiracy theory
provides a nice distraction from hard word the rebuilding the
Republican party will be, that's all it is. A distraction. And a
wasteful one.

Let's stop wasting the high court's time and OUR federal tax dollars
that are spent on the court's time and resources and start rebuilding
this country.

But if it is insisted that he is the 1st Black President since 50% is
black then I claim that he is the next white President since he is 50%
white. Last I heard of this combination one was considered bi-racial.
Guess that went out the window when Obama became president. Guess it
is no longer politically correct to say bi-racial. Wonder what all the
folks out there that have a black and white parent are thinking. Guess
it depends on whose yard you are standing in. I find the entire 1st
Black President statement disappointing. All this publicity about his
race is unreal, can't we just say he is a man who became the next
President?

Nothing surprises me in this country. Why is it being said he is the
first black president when he is 50% white. He is not the first black
president he is the first bi-racial president. When people talk to me
about him and that he is the first black president, I politely correct
them. Personally, I don't care man, woman, black, yellow, white, big,
ugly, skinny, etc. I'd just be thrilled to know that whomever was in
office truly had my best interest at heart, was honest, made it that
when a bill is submitted that it only be for what it is meant to be
and not have all the other "incidentals" added on - line item veto
needs to be law!. I'm also tired of this country trying to tell other
countries what and how to do their business. Look internally first and
get our own country in order. Taking care of our poor, sick, homeless,
uninsured, etc. should be top priority. Once we take care of ourselves
we will be stronger and be able to help other countries in need (not
by telling them what/how to do run their countries). Stop giving money
to other countries and feed/put clothes on/insure/provide homes/better
schools/etc. for our own citizens. Illegal immigrants should not be
allowed aid or to live here after all what does the word "illegal"
mean! I'm tired of illegal's being given what needs to be given to the
true citizens of the US. I'm tired of having sixteen other languages
written on every thing I purchase. English is the language and if you
don't want to learn it, then leave. Does France, Spain, Italy, etc.,
have every thing in sixteen other languages. Oh this is only the tip
of the iceberg for me. Let me not get started on "tolerance"
"politically correct" "press 1 for english" "same sex marriages (geez
didn't god make male and female to further produce off spring? if god
wanted same sex to do this we'd all been made asexual). I don't care
if you are in a same sex relationship, just stop demanding what god
did not intend for you to have. We do not go to hell after death, we
are living in hell when alive. The devil and his followers are here on
earth in the flesh.

Can anyone tell me how the following is going to help our economy?

"-$6 billion to weatherize "modest income homes."

-$6 billion to provide internet in "underserved" areas

-$6 billion for "higher education modernization."

-$20 billion in health information technology to "prevent medial
mistakes."

-$20 billion to increase food stamp funding

-$87 billion to provide a "temporary" increase in Medicaid funding

-$300 million to provide rebates for people who purchase Energy Star
products

-$600 million for the federal government to buy brand new energy
efficient cars

-$400 million for state and local governments to buy brand new energy
efficient cars

-$2.4 billion for carbon capture demonstration programs

-$350 million to research using energy efficient technology on
military bases

-$300 million for grants and loans to state and local governments for
projects that reduce diesel emissions, "benefiting public health and
reducing global warming"

-$500 million for energy efficient manufacturing demonstration
projects.

-$400 million to build major research facilities "that perform cutting
edge science"

-$1.5 billion for expanding "good jobs in biomedical research"

Borrow, spend, tax, repeat.

Also, the dems want to loosen the next bailout payment for GM so they
can continue to follow their failed business model.

Doesn't this concern anyone?

I really wish there was a way we could take all the extreme left and
extreme right political crazies and teleport them into the heart of
the sun, just so this sort of foolishness would go away.

So Obama isn't qualified to be President. Wow! It's like the past 8
years all over again!!!!

For all of you who are saying "Face It" and "Get over it", stop to
critically evaluate the letter.

It is not explicitly anti-Obama in ANY fashion. Interpret it they way
you want.

The letter says "Consider the evidence, not your personal and/or
political agendas."
I agree. The letter writer CLEARLY focuses the letter on the evidence
issue, and does not bring up any political issues, views, or party
affiliations.

In my opinion, the OP is a concerned (& Obviously misinformed) voter
who is concerned about the integrity of the office of the president of
The United States of America.

Give him a break.

First of all, get over it...secondly, do you really think the US
Supreme court reads anything they get from PFB????

Face it, he is GOING TO BE PRESIDENT. If you don't like it then get
out!! No one is making you stay here.

He was born in Hawaii. Thus, he is an American citizen.

This case was THROWN OUT by the Supreme Court who refused to even
consider it.

The GOP are a bunch of whining babies, idiots, crooks, and wealthy
fascists.

GET OVER YOURSELVES! Your party does NOT represent average or typical
American values.

Sincerely,

A Proud Obama/Biden voter

Your broad strokes attempt to paint a picture of the GOP is equally as
bad as any GOP person speaking in such tongue about the Democrats.

There are plenty of whiny babies, idiots, crooks and wealthy fascists
on both sides of the aisle and through-out the world for that matter.
Don't like the GOP? Ok, I respect that.

I think each party has aspects about it that do and do not represent
the average or typical American values. To say otherwise would demean
those of us "average, typical" Americans that vote either way. I
certainly do not feel that my values are not worthy or that I am not
represented any worse because I vote GOP often.

Thus, I can easily say back to people with the opinions that you typed
- get over yourselves as well. That's not needed though, as it
doesn't achieve anything.

Chris

Hey...not all of us in the GOP are like that. And as far as
representing average or typical values, everyone is entitled to their
own personal value system. Just because mine happens to be
conservative doesn't make me out to be a bad person here. Anyway,
isn't it the liberal left that is always preaching tolerance? Try it
sometime.

supreme court frequently decides not to hear a case. That is nothing
new. And doesn't give any of the cases less merit. If it was just
rubbish the supreme court would hear it and immediately rule. Not
hearing it is usually due to it being a large and controversial issue
that they don't want to be part of.

I don't recall ANYONE objecting this loudly to W. getting a 2nd go
round? At this point it's just plain SAD.

Let it go already.

"...His mother gave birth to him at 18, after arriving on US
soil...Let's get a clue. That's all it takes to be a US Citizen. You
just demolished your entire bigoted argument.

Yeah... a letter via PFB is much more effective than a writ of
certiorari. Oh wait, there was one. And there weren't even four
justices willing to grant cert.

Blah blah blah.

that is why alot of the mexican immigrants that come over are
pregnant. When the baby is born in America, it is a citizen and
therefore the parent can stay.

Barack Obama was voted to be President of the United States by the
citizens of our grand country. Case closed.

I have been watching his press conferences and the man has the USAs
best interests at heart. He is concerned over the economy, the war in
Iraq, he wants us to flourish and become strong again. I believe he
can do it. Give the man a chance! Leave race and his past out of it.
Unless you know him personally, it is all heresay.

Putting the constition aside I personally can't ignore how bad things
have become because we put a true american goodolboy in the white
house, so perhapes a non-citizen might be just what we need. By the
way I do disagree with your opinion, but even if I'm wrong and your
right regardless all I care about is whether Obama can get us out of
this mess. Maybe if he is successful we should amend our consitution
to only allow non-citizens to be president. Maybe it's for the best.

Good God, get over it, will ya?

I've heard this, and many other frivolous arguments from that side of
the political spectrum for several months now. And no, I can't put my
political agenda aside, because obviously you can't, which is the sole
purpose of your letter.

Your side did the same thing to Bill Clinton, long before he even won
his first election in 1992, and you hounded him long after he left
office. In fact, you guys like to blame all of the woes in America
today on something that Clinton supposedly did during his presidency.
Sorry, you lose.

Stick with your right-wing media outlets to get your "news", if it
pleases you. You know, the one that claims to be "fair and balanced"?
Or whatever you might pick up from the FreeRepublic website.

I am sure that if Mr Obama was ineligble, than he would have never
been able to run. Aren't many of the justices on the Supreme Court
Bush appointed? So, these are Republican appointed and probably would
want to see another Republican in the office.

Don't you think there would have been a bigger uproar from Senators
and other people against Obama if Obama was not a naturalized
citizen?

There is simply no way that a non-citizen or not naturalized citizan
could obtain the highest office of our nation. Obama has many
political enemies and you would think that something would be made of
this if it was really true.

Just calm down and sit back. Mr Obama is going to be our president for
the next four years.

I hear ya, guy. I wrote my own letter to the Supreme Court a couple
days ago asking them to overturn last weekend's Vikings-Eagles game,
as it's a well-known fact that the NFL never officially declared
Philadelphia eligible for having a professional football team, being
that they never took the super-secret oath of NFL eligibility. Also,
I'm pretty sure they cheated, in such a dastardly manner that made it
totally unnoticeable to me or anyone else. Those dirty, rotten
cheaters. I hate it when people win when I clearly don't want them
to.

Good luck with your thing. If it does go your way, let me know who the
replacement Prez will be. Just as long as it's not that Romney guy.
His eyebrows frighten me terribly.

Bo was elected by a biased media and a gullible electorate.

I am sorry that you feel so threatened by him and what he
represents...which to me is ALL of the citizens of the United States.


Barrack Obama met all qualifications to run for President. Sadly there
are still people out there who are distraught at this.
But then for the same reasons he was allowed to run for President you
are allowed free speech...its called the Constitution and because of
it you are allowed to voice your opinion on this matter.

He won. Get over it, and move on. I was just as upset when Dubya won
but I still thought the whole hanging chad thing was ridiculous. Obama
has proved his eligibility to the ones he must. He doesn't owe the
average American citizen any further proof.

I heard this too and thought it was true at first, but if you use one
of the previously provided links, you will see that Snopes has
debunked it.

1. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal area. Why did he get to
run?
2. President Obama's mother was born in Kansas.
3. President Obama was born in Hawaii, a few years after it had
already become a state
4. If the claims from the OP had any truth to them at all, don't you
think with all the Obama haters out there they would have been proven?
Oh that's right, the claims that President Obama is not a citizen
aren't true!
Electing Barack Obama should be one of our proudest moments as
Americans, regardless of your policial persuasions. But a few
braindead rednecks who can't stand the thought of electing an African
American man with a funny name have to go and ruin it.

Obama won because he got more votes. Including mine and my husbands.
Even IF his mother was born in another Country, if her mom and/or dad
were American Citizens, SHE is automaticly one. His mom WAS an
American Citizen, so Obama is one too.

If not being born in the State exempts you, then McCain could NOT win
either. He was born (to American parents) in Panama.

He proved it to the people that matter. And it was not you, or me, or
any other "normal" American. Just because YOU didn't see the actuall
paper, doesn't mean the people that matter hasn't seen it either.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp

Just because YOU have not seen anything but JPEGs does not mean that
others have not seen actual printed documentation.

You've written to the Supreme Court. They've already been asked to,
on several occasions, to take action to prevent Obama from taking the
oath. They, as a group, have decided that there is no need to take
such action.

If others, those with extensive legal background and experience with
the Court, cannot persuade the Court to take action, what makes you
think that your letter would make a difference?

You're certainly entitled to try, so I'm not saying that you shouldn't
have written and sent this letter. Just asking what makes you think
that this letter will be treated with any more consideration than
those from people like Alan Keyes, Leo Donofrio, or Philip Berg?

There are a lot of rumors floating around about Obama that are
completely baseless. This is one of them.

He won fair and square, give it up. He was born in Hawaii and has
proven it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I take it you picked up a copy of the Enquirer this week.

http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html

Some folks need to learn to accept reality and move on.

He has produced paper copies. From the State of Hawaii, officials
from which have verified that it is a valid copy. He can't provide
each and every person in the country with a paper copy, so yes most of
us will see computer images.

As was already mentioned, his mother was a natrual born US citizen

Sigh. Obama proved that he was born in Hawaii. Officials in Hawaii
certified his birth certificate. Just because the wingnut bloggers
say otherwise DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE.

You're believing a bunch of lies. And you're wrong about his
mother--she was born in Kansas. She is a U.S. citizen and has been
since birth.

Consider looking into the FACTS yourself and not relying on FAUX-NEWS
or other right-wing sources of information.

I'm ignoring your personal and political agendas, and recognizing the
evidence he's doing a darned fine job without even having been sworn
in yet. He could produce a birth certificate on the back of a canned
pineapple wrapper as far as I'm concerned.
