So because he and his father are black...? It's quite rare to get a birther to actually admit that this birther campaign is about Obama's "background."

Aside from where he was born is the fact that Obama's parents were not U.S. citizens, which is a requirement to be POTUS.
There is not a single current judge, congressman, constitutional scholar or law professor who agrees with that interpretation of the natural born citizen clause. There are former presidents, VPs, major party nominees and candidates who had non-citizen parents, and none had their eligibility seriously questioned on that basis.

But you don't have all the eligibility questions surrounding your birth whereas Obama does because of his background, history, parents...and of course meeting the Constitutional requirements of being POTUS. Big difference?

Don't you really want to know the truth about Obama? Maybe not in your case, but tens of millions of Americans do want to know so there's no question. Obama should oblige them and do away with this issue. Or he can continue to spend millions of dollars to hide it. Makes no sense for him to do that does it?

Have fun......................

The election of President Obama brought out the "closeted" bigots in full force. They were on a mission then and they are on a mission now with The Donald now leading the pack. Racism is like a cancer and the birthers are the cancer cells...its disgusting.

BOTH parents (PLURAL) of the POTUS needed to be U.S. citizens. FAIL!

And that eligibility was put to rest when he released his state certified and verified birth certificate. Just because people choose not to believe in what the law actually is, does not mean that Obama did not prove he was eligible to the public.

It has noting to do with race or bigotry. You can sling that race card elsewhere. You're good at it! It gets you nowhere...and hurts you (and your people) everytime you bring it up. You'll never learn...

In addition, the records indicate the number was issued between 1977 and 1979, yet Obama's earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream shop in Oahu, Hawaii.
WND has copies of affidavits filed separately in a presidential eligibility lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia by Ohio licensed private investigator Susan Daniels and Colorado private investigator John N. Sampson.
The investigators believe Obama needs to explain why he is using a Social Security number reserved for Connecticut applicants that was issued at a date later than he is known to have held employment.

So how come Glenn Beck has never put to bed all those questions surrounding the rumors that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990? If you had those sorts of questions surrounding you, wouldn't you do something about it?

First of all, Obama hasn't spent millions fighting these birther suits. You've been challenged by me on several occasions now to provide a single scrap of evidence to support what you're saying, and you have refused to. So either you are relying on the WND "$100 at McDonalds means he's spent $100 on McFlurries" logic, or you're just making up numbers.

Secondly, how can he "do away with this issue" when people like you, the loudest birthers out there all have backup arguments already? How can he "do away with the issue" when you already say that because of his father he is already ineligible for office? Based on your logic, isn't it already impossible for him to "do away with this issue," at least to you? Why would you say that Obama could settle the whole thing by showing a long-form birth certificate when LITERALLY AT THE SAME TIME you are claiming that Obama is ineligible for office no matter what because his father was not a US citizen?

Do you not realize you are being internally inconsistent here?
