"In todays world..."? You liberals use that phrase a lot.
Ahhhhh....I think it has something to do with ones allegiance??? Maybe?
OB has shown he has allegiances to at least one other country (Kenya) where his grandmother says he was born (not Hawaii).
If you cannot be loyal only to the United Sates of America, then you have no business being President. This concerns me, as it should all Americans. I want the answer, and only Obama can provide it (he isn't going to, hence the lawsuits to force the issue).
So then -
Bob Hope, who was born in England, would be considered less an American than Timothy McVeigh, a natural-born citizen of the United States.
To everyone but a few on the fringe he has provided sufficient proof.
To be honest, in today's world where one can travel halfway across the globe in less than 24 hours, I personally don't see how the requirement that someone be a 'natural born' citizen even matters anymore. Someone could be born in another country to a US citizen and a week later be in the US and live their entire life here and not be able to be President? What difference does it make aside from a line on some paperwork?
Actually, if one of your parents are a U.S. citizen and you are born of foreign ground, you are considered a U.S. citizen although you might have not been born on U.S. soil. I think they did that for military kids who were born at bases overseas.
For your viewing enjoyment: U.S. Distict Court Judge spanks Berg. Apparently Berg didn't learn from it.
Quote:
"Other attorneys should look to Mr. Berg's actions as a blueprint for what not to do when attempting to effectively and honorably perform the duties of the legal profession," Joyner wrote.
"This court has grown weary of Mr. Berg's continuous and brazen disrespect toward this court and his own clients. Mr. Berg's actions ... are an enormous waste of judicial time and resources that this court cannot, in good conscience, allow to go unpunished," Joyner wrote.

Just because I'm not as far right as you doesn't make me a liberal.
So you're saying it's perfectly OK for the reverse? For someone to be born in the US, grow up and live in another country, then come back and run for President? Allegiance has nothing to do with the country someone happens to be born in. It's more where they were raised and what country they identify with.
Also, the woman who said he was born in Kenya is not his grandmother, and it was an error in translation that the translator cleared up in the same conversation. But some people are hanging onto an error in translation like a starving wolf to a bleeding haunch.
Even though this was a few years ago, it says all that I need to know about Berg. I expect he will be hit with some sort of fine or sanction if these frivolous suits continue.
The folks who have given him money to pursue these suits should be filing against him.

I wish they'd just go ahead already and disbar him. He's an embarrassment to the legal profession.
