    Obama was clearly born in Hawaii. You don't learn to shoot the ball they way my president can in Africa. Only on the mean streets of Honolulu.

    Of course they are hypocrites. They never asked for anyone else's birth certificate. Ever. And naturally, when Obama provided his it was predictably "fake". The fact is, the GOP would have found out in 30 seconds if something were up. So would the Democrats.

    No actually what is Ironic funny is that The Very First Birther was Jonathan Turley.
    The first Birther's were Democratic Party operatives and dedicated Obama
    supporters,insisting that John McCain was not eligible to be president as a
    natural-born citizen. So there was Hypocrisy in the form of Projection from
    the very start.
    THE Very first Birther's were of the anti-McCain crowd.
    The unbelievable gall for Obama toadies and operatives to make an
    eligibility issue over McCain's Birth as not toxic at all because McCain was the
    target.It only became toxic when the focus shifted to the Democrat hopeful {Obama}.
    Smell just a wee bit of hypocrisy here folks.
    But the Media does not want to have that mentioned again.That they and the Obama
    team attacked McCain on his eligibility.
    It got so bad that McCain requested a resolution be passed by the House and Senate
    affirming that he was eligible to run for President under Article 2,Section 1 of the
    Constitution.
    Senator Barack Obama REFUSED to do the same.
    Like I said.Looking back in hindsight is precious.
    Knowing what kind of Person of transparency and truth the current President.

    Obama was on the committee to clear McCain of the stupid birther claims against him. The matter was dispensed with in a couple of hours..

    The same pinheads will be going after Jindal and Rubio if either makes a presidential run.

    You have stupid, uneducated people on both sides of the aisle.

    Well, your argument fails because Sen John McCain wasn't hounded for being born outside the United States or that he was ineligible to begin with.

    Not because of any issue with McCain, but I would liked to have seen this pushed further. The core issue is no one seems to be able to find documents that show a treaty giving territorial control of the Canal Zone to the US

    Well, you can't use that line anymoe.

    Interactive White House tour Just think, you don't have to go through the long lines, you don't have to go through TSA, you don't have to be in the same building with the guy you hate. And yet, you can still get the same tour as if you were there. Welcome to the 21st Century.

    LOLOL.. Obama argued that McCain was eligible.. and that would be common knowledge for any 8th grade American ex-pat born in Saudi Arabia.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Doesn't matter.. both parents were US citizens.. McCain could have been born anywhere...

    Okay lets start off by answering the thread- yes Birthers were nut jobs. There was never any legitimate reason to question President Obama's birth place any more than any other candidates birth place.

    Obama is the only President who ever showed his birth certificate- and Birthers variously declared that it wasn't a 'real birth certificate' or the stuff you say below. No other candidate has ever provided any evidence that he was born in the U.S.

    The State of Hawaii- through its Director of Health unambiguously and specifically told the world in 2008 that President Obama was born in Hawaii.

    Yes you can get a Hawaiian BC if born outside the state of Hawaii- and if you do- it will provide the location of birth- so if born say in Montana, the BC will note the place of birth as Montana.

    The one on the left, assuming its like Obama's BC released in 2008 is the official BC of the State of Hawaii. This is what Hawaii gave Obama when he requested a BC.

    Considering that Birther nutjobs continue to this day to claim that Obama wasn't born in Hawaii- even after the State of Hawaii has confirmed multiple times that he was born there, and even after seeing a certified photocopy of the original BC, shows that they are indeed nutjobs and conmen.

    [/QUOTE]

    His family lived abroad for many years?

    The Birthers- and only the Birthers are responsible for keeping this alive for several years- nutjobs like Orly Taitz, and conmen like Mario Apuzzo, and then you go to even nuttier ones.

    Birthers have shown that they will accept any nutty theory as long as it concludes with the sentence 'Obama is an ursurper'.

    Doesn't matter because there was a non binding resolution and a court case.about the Canal Zone under the Naturalization Act of 17958 that cleared the matter up for McCai, legally.

    That's not the law..

    He could have been born to American parents in Timbuktu or Hong Kong or Dammam.. or Addis Ababa .. working for GE and he would be a natural born (native born) US citizen.

    You simply register the birth at the nearest US consulate.. and you get a birth certificate with footprints and a passport.

    Of course I can, and I will - poor kids who made an arrangements to tour the White House are wronged by Obama, purely for political reasons, while he and his buddies are treated to a private concert.

    Absolutely correct.Think of it this way ... what about an American ambassador abroad
    with their spouse { wife }.Which happens regularly.American citizens are born abroad
    all the time.
