Actually, newborns need to be fed every few hours, so they don't sleep all the time. Ask any mother of a newborn how much sleep she gets. Also, that doesn't address an 8 months+ pregnant woman who would probably be very uncomfortable on a plane even for a short flight, doing that much flying, to a third-world country nonetheless, to give birth.

Barack Hussein Obama has not. If you apply for a job they want your license, SS card, or birth certificate. Can't provide them? You have no job. Barack Obama gets a free ride. Hope your happy! We may as well just burn the page from the constitution that states you need to be US born and say to hell with it.
Come on. We let illegals provide false documents all the time, then we demand that the law of the land be enforced, only to be called racist. How is the presidential election regarding BO's birth certificate any different? Oh, by the way, BO wants you to learn to speak Spanish. Welcome to the new world order. Check your brain and freedoms at the door please.

Nooooo, newborns don't know how to make their ears pop, so they scream the entire time. I've flown with a newborn. Not fun.

You know, the idea that a 18 year old woman would fly her newborn son to Hawaii just to make sure he had a birth certificate that showed he was "natural born" is kind of silly. Why on earth would she do that? Obama was an American citizen from birth just by the fact that his mother was an American citizen. The only reason that he would need to be born on US soil is to be qualified for the presidency. Other than that, there is no difference between a US citizen born overseas and a US citizen born in the US.

Do you really think that Obama's mother went through the expense and hassle of bringing a newborn infant from Kenya to Hawaii, of conspiring with doctors and government employees to issue a false birth certificate, just so her son would be qualified to run for president some day?

Just a thought to drag this on further (sorry!): Obama's mom was 18 when he was born. At that time, 18 was not even the age of majority! How could these laws that everyone brings up about how long one had to be living in the US after the age of whatever even apply to a minor?

When I got my citizenship I had to provide a valid birth certificate and I was told I could become anything I wanted to EXCEPT become President. Why is he an exception? Is America telling me that I became a proud US citizen in vain? Are we going to let a stranger lead this country to Islam?, it's been his life long dream.

Nuts.
Read the factcheck link. He WAS a natural born US citizen!
And the rumor about him being muslim was proven false.. even fox news said it was false.
And lifelong dream? Oy vey there is no conspiracy theory.

Other than backing Obama, I agree with you. That is a doozy of a denomination for sure. I can't go with Obama since he is nowhere near being even slightly conservative. Because of that, I have a hard time believing that you are conservative at all.

Why is it not our business? This technicality should have been taken care of in the beginning, but Obama should also not be presenting himself as above reproach.
No wonder McCain is saying he thinks he will win.
