7 days remaining until Obama disqualification

[GGD]

Does anyone know if John McCain, George W. Bush, John Kerry, Al Gore, Ralph Nader, Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, Ross Perot, George H. W. Bush, Michael Dukakis, and Ronald Reagan, had each publicly provided a birth certificate with more detail than Obama has?

If so, what did they each provide?

If not, why is Obama a special case?

[Lux Interior]

Obama's special because he's a radical-christian-muslim-Kenyan.

He's not one of "us". What's hard about that?

[karsen]

I'm not saying he is ineligible to be President, but I have to admit that it would be an amazing story! One of the most intelligent, articulate, promising young President-elects in US history, disqualified!

But yes, they should have to show his Birth Certificate. Since being born in the US is a requirement to hold the job anyone running for the Presidency should have to prove their place of birth.

[mikeylikesit]

Karsen you're such an asshole at times.

What part of his mother was an American doesn't work for you?

[karsen]

Mikey, get over yourself. You're over-reactionary and well... I'll be nice. You can be the one to call names.

What part of "I'm not saying he is ineligible to be President" doesn't work for you?

You dispute my first comment? You don't think it would be a big story if it turned out Obama wasn't a naturally born citizen?

And my second comment, that part I have a feeling you're all riled up about, I wasn't talking about Obama specifically. What part of the qualifier ANYONE don't you understand? ANYONE running for President should have to show their birth certificate. It's a requirement of the Presidency to be a naturally born US citizen, it's not that hard to prove if you are. Just show the damn thing and move on, end of story.

Are you suggesting that you don't think anyone who is elected President should have to show their birth certificate? It's just too much of a hassle, oh my!

And what does Obama's mother being an American have to do with it? Are you conceding the President-elect was born outside of the US and its territories? Being born on foreign soil to one American parent doesn't necessarily make you a naturally born citizen. That's a can of worms you don't want to open.

Wow, talk about a moving target . . . one minute you're hypercritical of Obama, the next you're suggesting he's the result of virgin birth.

[NeverMind]

do you anti-Obama nuts really think that he didn't have to provide some sort of legal document that was his Birth Certificate? a REAL document. you need one to get a drivers license, and you think no one thought an origianl to become President was needed? Fools.

Which brings up the question; if an original is required for proof, what do you do in the case of destroyed/lost records?

Have we disqualified all the people whose records were destroyed by Katrina and other natural disasters?

Were any original BCs stored in the World Trade Center towers before the CIA destroyed them?

Your state bureau of vital stat/health dept has the original record sent in by the Dr/hospital. They used to be kept in the county offices ....but no longer just there...my mother's were burned in the courthouse and she never knew if she was born Jan 30 or Jan 31. Her Mother said one date but my aunt who worked in the court house said the file said another (back in 1900's)
