"Barack Obama born in Kenya!" --The Globe
You know, the scandal rag in the check-out line at the grocery store. There were photos of the hospital and claims that Obama's presidency is illegal. WTF? Now, if it was the National Enquirer............

30. He is a citizen unless...
This is so silly. There are ten different versions of this story about him supposedly not being a citizen. He was born in Kenya, he was born in Hawaii but still isn't natural born, yadda, yadda. The only one that has any legitimacy is the fact that he went to school in Indonesia and became a citizen there. If he can't prove that he reapplied for citizenship upon returning to the United States, then he would not be a citizen. But I'm sure he can prove this and already has provided it somewhere. Does anybody have a link?

36. If he was born in HI - he's natural born PERIOD
It also doesn't matter what happened in Indonesia as a parent cannot give up their child's citizenship. Barack would have had to renounce it himself after turning 18. The freepers got nothing except wishful thinking which I enourage as it keeps them busy while the rest of us can move onto cleaning up this country after 8 years of the imbecile.

39. Check US code.
The US Nationality Act of 1940 and 1952 specifically states a minor US citizen cannot lose their citizenship due to any actions of their parents. There's no proof Stanley Ann Dunham released her US citizenship, and no action she could have taken to cost Barack Obama his.

The Indonesian adoption and loss of citizenship claims started with a blogger over at "TexasDarlin" called "Judah Benjamin", after the Secretary of State for the CSA. Philip J. Berg picked it up, along with a batch of other questionable claims and beliefs, and worked it into his lawsuit, along with a claim Stanley Ann Dunham lost her citizenship when she married Lolo Soetoro, (which is also not backed up by US law.)

4. Who reads their shit?
I certainly don't. That's why The Globe is reglated as a trash tabloid in their grocery stores.

I'm gonna call all 3 major ones and tell them to stop distributing these crap. They should go to where it belongs... in the dustbin of history.

The Birthers are claiming the only "free jounalism" around, (read, the ones that treat their tripe like it was news), is World Net Daily, the Globe, and the on-line version of Pravda......

Oh, and the one coming up is ANOTHER Obama attack one. Philip J. Berg even did a press release yesterday about how thrilled he was and invited people to take part in an on-line poll the Globe is doing about the Birthers accusations.

23. A photo of a hospital? Well, that clinches it.
How much more proof do you need? Besides, I heard Obama admit this summer that he was actually born on Krypton - and his middle name's Steve.

I thought the late Weekly World News was a much better tabloid. After all, they revealed that Bill Clinton was really a space alien! I wonder what Batboy would say to Obama?

33. I read somewhere that his father filed a birth certificate in Kenya
According to Kenyan law when a child is born to a Kenyan citizen abroad they have the right to register the birth in Kenya, even though the child was not born there. I think all the fuss right now is about that birth record, even though it does not indicate anything we don't already know.

34. I'm still waiting for the story
about how Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are actually the same people.



Sort of like when Michael Jackson first started having surgery done years ago and people were saying he was really his sister LaToya. Because nobody ever saw both of them together in the same place, you know...


We have seen Obama and BC together in the same place, but that doesn't mean anything, technology being as good as it is nowadays....


So anyway, yeah...waiting for that story about how the Democrats are trying to sneak Bill Clinton back in by disguising him as Barack Obama. That should make some Freeper heads shrivel up like rotting oranges, I'll bet...

:evilgrin:
