I guess instead of trying to name a single current judge, congressman, constitutional scholar or law professor that agrees with the birthed interpretation of the natural born citizen clause to prove me wrong, ergo instead makes REALLY weird analogies, apparently calling the 14th Amendment gay and continuing to show he's not interested in truth or reasoned debate, but to continue his political ranting to make President Obama look illegitimate.

It's not working.

Remember... roughly half of Ergohead's posts are completely inscrutable. Sometimes he drops a relevant nugget worth responding to, but mostly he just randomly free associates.

So there have been other presidents with parents from other countries that openly admit to being educated in a foreign school while living overseas as a child? And those presidents have not been able to locate their birth certificates?

What other (white) president has ever been subjected to the nonsense of a birther bill?


This is such a stupid premise and thread from the very onset!

First of all.....(white) has to be put in the question? Really?

There's only ever BEEN White Presidents until Obama.

Secondly, I can't even think of any other President who's citizenship came into question before.

Also, this president has not been subjected to a bill...

Some questions have been raised and a future bill could add some clarity.

Maybe not presidents, but candidates, yes.

George Romney, R, lived in Mexico for part of his childhood. Lowell Weicker, R, was born in Paris to American parents. I can't find anything about how long his family lived there. Probably lots more. Hell, Clinton was an exchange student at Oxford while in college.

No one was ever asked to produce a BC until Obama.

I never gave the Birther movement even a second of thought UNTIL the Governor of Hawaii came out and said he couldn't find Obama's Birth Certificate.

Considering that his entire reason for opening that can of worms was to put an end to the questions and that he's a good friend of Obama, it then started me wondering.

Is it our fault the dems weren't bright enough to think of it before?

Except that he didn't say that.
