		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;doesn’t have to sway undecided voters. If he isn’t a US citizen, they can’t vote for him. Or if he’s merely a “naturalized” US citizen, they can’t vote for him.

And it’s not quite as simple as “his mom was a US citizen, thus, so is Obama.”

It’s not a campaign issue or a PR issue; it’s a law issue.

I would like to know, definitely, if he is eligible to be President. It’s kind of important.

ABSOLUTELY! Obama absolutely defies the Constitution.

Fulfilling the requirements set by law is not an optional choice. The onus is Obama&#039;s to provide PROOF of his own legitimate claim to have met ALL of the requirements; it is not anyone else&#039;s responsibility to provide proof; it is Obama&#039;s own Constitutional responsibility to do so. He refuses to do so via PASSIVE AGGRESSION. 

Any alteration on a legal document makes it invalid. That FROM THE ONSET Obama IS holding out his willingness to support and uphold the Constitution of the United States of America &lt;em&gt;in itself&lt;/em&gt; proves to any thoughtful American that Obama is an ineligible candidate to CHOOSE. 

How much more obvious must Obama&#039;s deceit be? He won&#039;t willingly conform to Constitutional law of which he presumes to be an expert. He refuses to set the example for America. That Obama has NOT provided proof of his eligibility vs. illegitimate claim will remain on the table whether or not he is elected; he is DIVIDING AMERICA, not unifying us under the law that protects us and our world. He will disregard every law. He will hold to his bitter silence with his community activist organizing global business interest communist hands.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Are we forgetting when McCain dumped his bedridden wife for a wealthy child bride?

Liar! The first wife will prove you wrong any moment. She&#039;s their friend and will attest to your lies. You and other are propagaging myths, because they are convenient to you.</description>

A man can do a lot of changing over the course of 28 years.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Gosh people, give the birth certificate issue a rest. That will not sway the election decision by undecided voters. Besides, his MOM was a US Citizen, thus, so is Obama.

It doesn&#039;t have to sway undecided voters.  If he isn&#039;t a US citizen, they can&#039;t vote for him.  Or if he&#039;s merely a &quot;naturalized&quot; US citizen, they can&#039;t vote for him.

And it&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lexisnexis.com/practiceareas/immigration/pdfs/web704.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;not quite as simple&lt;/a&gt; as &quot;his mom was a US citizen, thus, so is Obama.&quot;

		<description>When Obambi wins in November with huge majorities in both the Senate and the House and the agenda kicks in with socialized medicine, &#039;reparations&#039; for certain identity groups, national PC speech and conduct codes backed by harsh criminal law etc. the people will quickly understand that even a landslide in the opposite direction in 2010 will not permit the reversal of the most disastrous errors. Once socialized medicine is adopted it will never be jettisoned and you&#039;ll only hear vacuous talk of &#039;improvement&#039; as is the case in other countries where it has been adopted and this will be so no matter how much it costs. Once the reparations checks are sent out no one will propose that the monies be returned. The new speech laws will stifle contrarian debate; we will indeed live in interesting times.</description>

		<description>Gosh people, give the birth certificate issue a rest.  That will not sway the election decision by undecided voters.  Besides, his MOM was a US Citizen, thus, so is Obama.  

However, part of Obama&#039;s problem with connecting to real America is this kid had a very UNreal UNAmerican upbringing.  For gosh sakes, his mom had an obsession with muslim men.  Had one&#039;s baby, and married another and allowed that said baby to go to a fundie muslim school in Indonesia or wherever that was.  Obama was not raised here in his formative years.  His ad that says he has Kansas values is so full of bullcrap that it is astonishing.  Then after spending his formative years learning how to be and think like a muslim, since that is the household he was raised in, he goes to the elite ivy league schools!  

That man does NOT know how real Americans think, no matter what their racial or ethnic backgrounds are.  He is twisting himself into a pretzel because he is trying to be all things to all people.  Have we ever seen a hard left liberal run to the right so fast after the primaries were over?  This empty, vapid, no core values nothing man is just plain astonishing.  It is even more astonishing that about 45% of the electorate is planning to vote for him.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Kondracke wonders whether Obama will change course on Iraq and complete his journey to the center.  He calls it unlikely, but he believes the media has to start asking tough questions from Obama on his other course changes to determine whether Obama has the character to be President — or whether he’s a snake-oil salesman adjusting his pitch for each audience.  That may be as unlikely as Obama changing party affiliation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Obama will change on Iraq once he is office. He will use the standard &quot;I now have info as president I did not have as the nominee&quot;.

Snake oil salesman? I don&#039;t know. What I do know so far, Obama is the first Black Bill Clinton.

Tough questions? Not a chance. Even if in name only, the Dems/MSM etc desperately want the grand pulpit. Having had the White House only 12 of the last 40 years there aren&#039;t enough buses for the things they will throw out the window to hear Hail to the Dem Chief.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Texas Gal nailed it @10:03. Obambi is a pragmatic phony. The sad part is that that he doesn’t have core values and the majority of Americans don’t have a clue what that means. 

volsense on July 10, 2008 at 12:04 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

He&#039;s at least pragmatic when it comes to getting elected.  He&#039;ll say whatever it takes.

<p>He&#8217;s at least pragmatic when it comes to getting elected.  He&#8217;ll say whatever it takes.</p>

		<description>Texas Gal nailed it @10:03.  Obambi is a pragmatic phony. The sad part is that that he doesn&#039;t have core values and the majority of Americans don&#039;t have a clue what that means.  The dumbing of America has made Ariel Durant look like a prophet when she said,&quot;A great civilization cannot be conquered from without until it destroys itself from within.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I think it’s that Obama makes news (good or bad) and McCain doesn’t. I hate to say it, but at least he’s interesting.

I might&#039;ve said fascinating instead of interesting.  Like morbid fascination.  How can a clueless America-hating idiot commie-socialist who surrounds himself with such unsavory characters (not just his wife!), possibly believe he could be elected President?</description>

That&#039;s an easy one Mort...
&lt;strong&gt;Barack Hussein Obama  = PHONY&lt;/strong&gt;


BHO still hasn&#039;t produced a legal, certified copy of proof that proves he was in fact born in Hawaii.  The BCs posted on the Daily KOS, and on HIS anti-smear web site, have been deemed forgeries!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Does it matter what Obama believes? He’s going to inevitably win in November. This blog says it all: 14 Obama stories on the front page. 1 McCain story. lorien1973 on July 10, 2008 at 10:02 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;Don&#039;t underestimate Americans. We vote for adults not neophytes for president. We&#039;ve gotten it right for the last 30 years. Remember Clinton only go 43% of the vote so we got that one right too. To quote Oddball from &lt;em&gt;Kelly&#039;s Heroes&lt;/em&gt; &quot;Have a little faith, baby.&quot;

The more we find out about BHO the less we like and the more of an embarrassment he is. After the Reichstag style stadium coronation of Hussein, all that will be missing is the torches, Obama will consistently wane. Instead of &quot;Sig Heil&quot; it will be &quot;yes we can.&quot;</description>

		<description>Ed is as pro-McCain as you will find.  I think Ed does a great job of spinning an ultimately flawed candidate in the best possible light.  I give him a hard time, but it&#039;s all entertainment to me.  If you&#039;ll notice that most of the stories that are about Obama are negative stories about Obama.  McCain rarely has a negative story on him here.

But this election is either Obama or not Obama.  Obama is actually a terrible candidate - Jesse Jackson doesn&#039;t even like him.  Obama might lose.  I hope he does.  But to have to choose from two senators in a congress at historical lows doesn&#039;t portend to be freedom or change in any way shape or form.</description>

Can’t you just feel his presence when you read his quotes?

Hey right2, thanks for that.  Wouldn&#039;t you give something to hear one of our politicians talking like that, and meaning it?

Rush Limbaugh is the only one we hear it from.</description>
