Gee, what a surprise.
This from a guy whose opinion of what the constitutional residency requirement of a US Congressman was challenged and debunked in the case of Texas Democratic Party vs. Tina Benkiser et al.
And he was even dumb enough to bring that whole affair back to the light of day when he was interviewed yesterday by Chris Matthews on his MSNBC news program Hardball.
The question of whether the 2008 Republican candidate was a natural born citizen was settled when it was ruled that John McCain, who was born in the
What has never been settled, because it is now a moot point, is whether George W. Romney, who nearly pulled off getting the Republican nomination in 1968 was a natural born
Because George Romney was born in

So all of these arguments are for naught. If George Romney qualified as a
So why do Republicans (and now Tom DeLay) keep up the noise over this issue? I suppose it is for the same reason that male dogs lick their scrotums.
Because they can.
And because they are running dog racists.

Running dog racists - what an elegant analysis.
I hope he trips and falls while Dancing with the Stars.
Actually, there are a lot of us who believe that Obama was born in this country who believe that he ought to produce the original document just to lay the issue to rest.
However, you are incorrect on the automatic conferring of citizenship question regarding foreign birth -- there have, over the years, been some interesting wrinkles in federal citizenship law that stated that this was not always the case when only one parent is a citizen and the child was born outside the US. But since Obama was born in the US, those exceptions don't apply to him -- no matter how hard the actual birthers try to argue that they do. I debunk the whole birther thing here: http://rhymeswithright.mu.nu/archives/267950.php
Tell it, tell it, tell it----you are so “right on” and correct Hal.
I say Hum-bug to your comment, Greg. Another example of wanting to insert and mandate double standards; therefore, making your augment weak and lame. Obama does not have to produce anything. If the examples Hal has given were not questioned and they did not have scrotum licking dogs chasing after them trying to make a case out of nothingness, then, Obama need not cater to double standard demands being made, only, mind you, because he is Black and/or considered Black and thus not all the way White, plain and simple, no matter how some try to camouflage and disguise it.
It still stinks and it smells like racism.
