		<description>Was this article written by and for children? To write an article that says &quot;One might think, given the ample evidence that the president was born in Hawaii&quot; is so rediculous I could only believe a child would accept such known lies. Did the writer actually think that its not common knowledge that the birth certificate released on the white house website was forged by an idiot using photoshop software? Does anyone still not know that you can dismantle that fake junk with minimal pc knowledge?</description>

		<description>Ignorant fools! I mean those here who bash the birthers. Hawaii won&#039;t even officially confirm to Arpaio that Obama was indeed born there. I will only believe Obama was born in the US once he hands over his original birth certificate to independent investigators so that they can confirm it&#039;s not fake. How come he didn&#039;t do that a long time ago given the controversy?</description>

		<description>Well, if you haven&#039;t watched the entire press conference that Sheriff Joe Arpaio held on March 1, 2012 about this issue, then you are seriously underinformed about what is going on with it. Plus, new information is expected out of Hawaii soon, according to the Cold Case Posse.

As for Romney, I&#039;m sure he knows all about it, but is trying to establish now that he is innocent of knowing anything that might make him complicit in the whole sordid mess. Fasten your seatbelts.</description>

		<description>The system is broken. Romney is the Republican wing-nut here to protect the status quo, and Obama is the Republicrat, who lied to bring down Hilary, and was likely the choice of the same puppeteers who handled Bush from day one. It&#039;s all BS. These two parties are playing US right and left to protect a system where Wall Street is in a money grad for our hard earned taxes, and both candidates are lying -- 24 7. I&#039;m a registered democrat, and watched as Obama used every dirty trick in the book to paint the Clinton&#039;s as racists. In all reality I think Obama is a closet Republican, and they are all lying. As for the birther issue, there are many questions. So it&#039;s easiest to paint conspiracy theories as Crazy. Marylyn Monroe, The Kennedies, 9-11. The truth is somehwre in between but more likely we&#039;re being lied to than not.Resko, who fade into the woodwork was a funraiser for Bush and later Obama. Obama promised to change things but pretty much stays the Bush course. It&#039;s all BS, and time for new parties. These liars are playing US all right and left. It&#039;s not an issue of Ble is good, and Red is bad. They are both bad when it comes to lies and representing taxpayers. They don&#039;t. The USA is now run for the advancement of Oil, Banks, Insurance, and war and more war. That&#039;s what the transnationals on Wall Street do. As for Taper, he works for the MSM. Citizen&#039;s United allows unlimited campaign funds to come from Wall Street to both candidates. That&#039;s Kaching, Kaching for the MSM. They won&#039;t rock the boat to get to the truth. Both candidates are dirty liars, and the truth is either Obama lied early on to reap the benefits of being foreign born or he&#039;s lying now. Romney lies all the time. The media loves all the money they spend on campaigns and could care less if it comes from wall street as long as the money flows. If we want to fix the country and save our tax base, we need to stop being divided and conquered in the theater of the Red and Blue Parties, and reject them both. They are both on the same team, Wall Street. Wall Street does not care about the people of the USA. We&#039;re strictly consumers to them. These two liars are here to keep that fraud going as long as possible. That&#039;s the truth. We&#039;d be better off to shake hands with people of all colors and creeds, and band together to take back the USA tax base from Wall Street, and the Citizen&#039;s United system that has hijacked the USA for transnational gain. 

Getting Republicans and Democrats to fight tooth and nail is a tactic to protect Wall Street and the way they are looting our hard earned taxes. When it comes to that both candidates are on the same team. They&#039;re both liars who are and will continue to treat average people as nothing more than dumb serfs and consumers here to be played left and right, and buy and pay for Wall Street to cheat US. The rest are just red herrings here an there. Who lies more. My guess is Obama and Romney are both puppeted by the same people that puppeted Bush, and are behind the cover ups. Wall Street pays the candidates who pay the MSM, so don&#039;t count on Tapper to rock the boat. He gets his pay check from the MSM. The system is broke. Both parties have been compromised so much by Wall Street we never know the truth. That&#039;s the truth.

Voters are BS&#039;ed left and right, we&#039;re scared into submission to finance the Oil industry, Oil security and to hate minorities, and those whose property we want. It&#039;s one big scam so we don&#039;t reject this BS system. We the people need to wake up and call all these scammers out on their BS, and take back out tax base from wall Street. They don&#039;t care about US. Transnations care about profit, and to them whether you&#039;re a Republican or Democrat, all they see are dollar signs. They want US buying their stuff, and hating who they want Us to hate so they can continue to get US to foot the bill for more and more war to protect Oil interests, and make money for the petroleum industry while they get fee security. They want us to be scared of a public option or Single payer so Insurance companies RIp us off. They will continue to paly US right and left until we stop fighting among ourselves, and We the people team up, agree to agree to disagree on some things, and take back the USA from all the,liars, in both parties, and get the USA tax base out of the hands of Wall Street.</description>

		<description>Wonder if oBama is evolving over whether he was born in Kenya or Hawaii....  seems he was lying to his literary agent about being born in Kenya or he is lying to us now about being born in Hawaii.</description>

		<description>“Natural born citizen” is a known, static definition, derived from Natural Law, a term of art
outside of any Positive Law, hence the reason it needs no definition within the Constitution.
This Natural Law involves a “self-evident” status so fundamental to our “unalienable rights”
and freedoms, that it is expressed in the very first sentence of the Declaration of
Independence:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume
among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of
Nature and of Nature&#039;s God entitle them,…
A “natural born citizen” is a “self-evident” status upon birth because that offspring could not
possibly be a citizen of, and owe allegiance to, any other country or peoples. Natural Born
incorporates all aspects of citizenship heritance at birth, including that conveyed by the soil
(jus soli) and that conveyed by both parents‟ blood allegiance (jus sanguinis).</description>

		<description>Lots of name calling but the usual ZERO FACTS. The constitution  (in Article 2 Section 1, clause 5), says the president must be a &quot;natural born citizen&quot;.    It is a fact that the founders (in their own words) have pointed out that a person born (in any country) to a mother and father both born in that same country as being a &quot;naturally born citizen&quot; (of any country).  The founders believed  that it was &quot;self evident&quot;, just as it is self evident &quot; that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.&quot;..........Because the Obama&#039;s father, by Obama&#039;s own admission, was not born in the US, Obama is not a natural born citizen.</description>
