In a 2004/2005 debate, Alan Keyes said to obama "you're not even a natural born citizen." obama replied, "it doesnt' matter, i'm running for senate, not president." Why is America allowing this to happen?

NOPE! He was born in Kenya. It will be proven that he's not a natural-born citizen and he will go to jail.

Be careful to fully analyze your logic and conduct proper research.



Here is your thesis:



Barack Obama was not born on U.S. soil. Therefore he is not eligible to be a presidential candidate.



In order to prove your thesis, your sources will have to provide undeniable proof that supports your idea. Your thesis can only be proven if your sources are credible. If someone can disprove your sources, then your thesis is faulty.



Before a presidential candidate can be placed on a ballot, they have to prove that they were born a United States citizen. The Democrat party was responsible for providing proof of Obama's birth and citizenship in all 50 states and qualifying voting territories. In order to show that Obama was not born a U.S. citizen you will have to provide the following evidence:



1. Documents showing that Barack Obama was not born on United States soil.



Remember, it is possible to be born outside the 50 states and still be born on U.S. soil. John McCain was not born in the 50 states, but was still born a U.S. citizen because he was born on a military base. Also, many people in Asia travel to Guam to give birth so their children will be born U.S. citizens. Many people born U.S. citizens never actually visit the 50 states, but still still have eligible citizenship to be a presidential candidate.



2. Documents showing that Barack Obama's U.S. birth certificate was falsified.



Remember, his birth records have already been proven valid by all 50 states and each qualifying voting territory. You will have to provide evidence that they overlooked.

I've been trying to find that comment in video or audio. Can you point me to it?



BTW, for those who claim that "creditials are checked before they run..."

what about Roger Calero who was born in Nicaragua in 1969 and came to the USA in 1985. He has stood for election to the Office of POTUS twice and is admittedly not a natural-born citizen and is therefore Ineligible to hold the Office of POTUS (in fact Calero may not even be a US citizen, but a Green Card holder married to an American). He was on the ballot in nine states in 2004 and five in 2008. There is nothing in law to prevent an Ineligible candidate from running, per se, but it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch to think a Secretary of State, whether it be Nina Wells of New Jersey or anyone else, should ascertain that Calero was born Nicaraguan and therefore refuse to put him on the ballot ab initio.

Get over it. Credentials are carefully checked before people qualify to run for president. Why not ask why McSame was allowed to run since he was born in the Panama Canal zone at a time when being born there did NOT qualify you as a natural born American citizen. That was only approved a few years ago after the fact. How convenient!

Sweetheart, did you know that Hawaii is part of the United States? Did you also know that he was born in Hawaii? Obama is a natural born citizen...



Ignorance is not bliss.



ETA: "Rick James", Obama was not born in Kenya, his father was born in Kenya.. which is pretty much meaningless in this discussion, as his father not being born in the US has nothing to do with Obama being a natural born citizen.

Any "Proof" that he could provide is unlikely to be real anyway. Odds are he is not Constitutionally qualified to be President, but supporting Obama is like a religion and you cannot convince someone who has a religious fervor to see the truth. I am convinced that there are people out there that would strap on a suicide vest and blow themselves up in Obama's name. It's a sad state of affairs that we live in a time when people put more faith in a politician to fix their life than they do themselves or God.

Look at old new form a year ago, you must have been snoozing, it has been discussed repeatedly! I suppose you are worried too that McCain was not born in this countyr either!

Why won't YOU provide proof that this was actually said in a debate?

Obama was born in Hawaii, which is a US state. McCain was born in Panama, which is not a state.

If he wasn't a citizen the Clinton machine would have found out before he beat them.

He was born in America. Of course America would not let him be President if it was otherwise.
