Reading your posts you do not want to know the truth about Obama's eligibility.
So, by even bringing this (horrible and already shredded) argument out, you're basically admitting the "he wasn't born in Hawaii" theory is a loser.

I've read that the reason Obama's college transcripts and related info haven't been released is that he used foreign status to get funding to attend. If he is indeed a natural citizen of this country, how does that compute?

It doesn't have to "compute" if it's just something you read . Now, if someone had something showing he used "foreign status" to get funding (whatever that even means) there could be something. As of now there is nothing so you need not worry yourself.

you're repeating an april fool's day joke as fact.

FactCheck.org: Has a "smoking gun" been found to prove Obama was not born a U.S. citizen? Did he attend Occidental College on a scholarship for foreign students? (http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/print_has_a_smoking_gun_been_found_to.html - broken link)

if you believe he could have had indonesian citizenship i suggest you do your own web-search for "indonesian citizenship requirements" and "minor denouncing US citizenship". the president has yet to be eligible for indonesian citizenship and the US state department does not allow 6-10year olds to renounce US citizenship.

"Those are the two newspapers in which the birth announcements of Barack Obama purportedly appeared."

Seems a concerned citizen put up the funds. For me it does not matter where Obama was born..Kenya or Hawaii he can never be a natural born citizen based on the foreign citizenship of his father and Obama does not meet the subject to jurisdiction clause in the 14th Amendment.



Birther Summit offers $5K for 1961 Honolulu newspaper / August 17, 2011 / Sonoran News


I have one but it will cost them $250,000.00. Being a fool can be expensive.

LOL! That was an inclusive statement, not an exclusive one! The case was determining the legality of denying women the vote. The justices determined that "voter" and "citizen" were not synonymous. In arriving at this, they affirmed that women were indeed considered citizens, as they were born to citizen parents and, in the court's opinion, those born to citizen parents are likewise citizens. The main decision, that of the court against women's suffrage, held that voting rights didn't derive solely from citizenship, so that the defendant's status as citizens was moot as far as suffrage was concerned.

In no way was the court declaring that "natural born citizens are born to citizen parents, and those born to non-citizen parents are not."

What a joke.

Okay then why is this group of weirdos asking for an original newspaper if they can read one on microfilm? What's the difference?

They are idiots. They are bigots. They don't have a life. They have more money than brains. They can't spell library, let alone find one..
