Michelle Obama: Barack Obama is a Kenyan and America is too mean

We are very well aware that the Media is controlled by the White House. There is no freedom of speech there but only print or say what is flattering to Oba-mao and has met with his approval.

the news media is wrong they should praqctice more freedom of speach and not be bought out wish I had a station!!!! ANd ghe 14th amendment is what I read when I had wrote that a prez needs 2 american born parents

[i]The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps. The Constitution authorizes the Congress to do create clarifying legislation in Section 5 of the 14th Amendment; the Constitution, in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, also allows the Congress to create law regarding naturalization, which includes citizenship. Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:" •Anyone born inside the United States * •Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe •Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S. •Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national •Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year •Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21 •Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time) •A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S. * There is an exception in the law — the person must be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision. Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example. [/i] Obama was born in the United States. : http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_citi.html

epicure35 I thank you so very much for your excellent response. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge to try and educate the stupid among us. However I find the following proverb describes so many of the Obama supporters...“There are none so blind as those, that will not see” I can honestly say I pin my hopes for America's future on the strength of those people who like you, me and and many others who are not among the blind. There are two or three infatuated Obama supporters whose "factual??" responses and comments I prefer to ignore as it would do no good to try and educate them as they appear to be too dense to absorb the truth.

epicure, I will state the obvious here. It's common knowledge that the president's father was not a U.S. citizen when he was born in Hawaii. There's ample hard evidence to substantiate this. IF you were correct that anything else trumps the 14th amendment and the U.S. Code, Obama would have already been removed from office by Congress on constitutional grounds. Your misconceptions about this constitutional issue are why Taitz, Berg, et al are trying so hard to use the comments of others and innuendo to *prove* that Obama was not born in the U.S...or have you forgotten what their cases consist of? You are also mistaken about citizenship being traced through the father when someone is born in this country and I challange you to cite a legitimate source that backs this up...but I won't hold my breath waiting for it. Both you and whiteheather clearly prefer to ignore *facts* and to attack those who find them to be more relevant than the baseless comments of those who have ulterior motives for making the claims that they do. "Proof just isn't good enough for some fools" I agree with you completely...but you're looking in the wrong direction when you're looking at fools.

I tried to post a comment, but I believe it failed, so forgive me if I repeat myself. Dear, dear Whiteheather, Thank you so much for your wisdom and understanding. The battle for truth has been exhausting and frustating. It has been a horrible year and then some for so many who are suffering for truth and justice while this monster evil seems to prevail. I pray God will implement Psalm 109:8 "May his days in office be few and a successor take his place." I am very tired just now.

I (sadly) agree with you that what the people say or want does not matter.

Spall I agree but if the President is not eligible, military men have the right to demand proof. I also know this is an old and boring conversation. But just think. Why would he continuously deflect the issue. Why would be spend SO MUCH money to keep from it. Also, think what it might mean to our country if there IS a problem with eligibility? I am not trying to change this discussion into a birth certificate discussion. I feel it up to the courts to decide now.

I do not blame the Military! Why should they obey orders given by a Commander-in-Chief who absolutely refuses to prove his eligibility to the satisfaction of the nation!

Prove his eligibility to the satisfaction of the nation? Would that be the majority of the nation or a small group? Where in the military code does it require the Commander-In-Chief to prove anything? He was sworn in as the president...he is the president unless and until he is impeached or voted out. Untl that time, every member of the military has the obligation to respect the authority of his office.

I suppose in he was born in Kenya then he would fall under the following provision for being a Natural Born Citizen: Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time).http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_citi.html If this is the case then I wonder what Obama is hiding with all the Hawaii controversy and the need to spend almost a million dollars on lawyers to cover up any questions regarding his birth? Could it be as was suggested by Washington State: "If in fact Obama was born in Kenya, the laws on the books in the United States at the time of his birth stated if a child is born abroad and one parent was a U.S. Citizen, which would have been his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, Obama's mother would have had to live ten (10) years in the United States, five (5) of which were after the age of fourteen (14). At the time of Obama's birth, his mother was only eighteen (18) and therefore did not meet the residency requirements under the law to give her son (Obama) U.S. Citizenship much less the status of 'natural born.'" I do not see where Snopes has specifically rebutted this claim: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/citizen.asp

oops typo should read ...after the age of sixteen (16) not fourteen (14) ...sorry.

He was born in Hawaii, his mother was american and his father was from Kenya going to school in Hawaii. Birth certificate is Hawaian. Complete controversy is covered on Wikipedia.org Secratary of the state of Hawaii has certified his birth. His birth was announced in the local papares and are online for anyone to see. The secret servise has certified his birth, his college certified his birth, the government student loans he borrowed to go to school certified his birth. Are you suggesting that all these organizations plotted over the last 48 years to put a black man in the White House and knew that he would get elected?

What do I think? I think it is very definitely a real possibility. Now my big question is who is behind the whole idea and supporting this dastardly plot. Obvious the planning for this had to have started way back when Obama was being groomed as the Democratic Presidential Nominee. What better way to destroy a country than pitting us against each other. [b] A Nation Divided Cannot Stand In 1858, Senatorial nominee Abraham Lincoln gave a speech at the Illinois Republican State Convention which has come to been known as "Lincoln's House Divided Speech." Lincoln took the phrase from the book of Matthew 12:25 "And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:[/b] http://thefrontpages.blogspot.com/2005/01/nation-divided-cannot-stand.html
