A new wrinkle in the dispute over his birth – and whether he is eligible to be president under the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that the president be a “natural born” citizen – appeared today when Obama’s official MySpace page declared his age is 52, thus placing his birth year at 1957 instead of 1961 as has been claimed.
That would mean he would have been born during the archipelago’s time as a territory of the U.S., the islands’ status from about 1900 until statehood in 1959. The birth year also conflicts with campaign and other White House information that have discussed his 48th birthday this month.
This is probably a mistake or some intern messing up, but no response yet from the White House. If this is true (which again, I don’t think so), Obama can’t be the president. The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states,
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
We will probably see a lot more of this story this week.
#99–noname==your list, your choice. If it were my list, I would annotate it with “This contributor’s qualifications for this list have been contested but it will remain until “x” explains a post that standing alone makes him sound like an Aryan.”
I would do better, but I’d have to go find the post. Obama as Joker I think, but====not much fun if he isn’t going to play. Unlike Alfie who I enjoy giving a “Hey” to so that he gets to “choose” to avoid me for my budding Nazi name calling.
I always pick my flowers on the sunny side of the slope.
# 101 Alfred1, You don’t have to accept anything. It’s important to us voters that you don’t.
We need to see ALL you BIRTHERS publicly continue your fact-less demonstrations, your protestations. Please entertain us and march in the 100s on Washington. Yell shout…..
I recommend you continue your ranting and ravings.
I wish you would do it on TV.
It’s very important to our democracy, the public can see you leading the republican charge, snorting, stomping your feet, ranting, raving, screaming
“Obama is an alien, Obama is an alien, he is not natural born, he is not natural born, Hawaii’s Republican governor is a bold face liar, Hawaii’s Republican governor is a bold face liar.
Please don’t stop. I need the entertainment.
Alfred1,
Thanks for proving my point.
# 9 Dr Dodd,
If what you say in #104 wasn’t the case I would agree with you in your #9 post, I don’t agree. But the charges you BIRTHERS throw at the President are what you want them to be.
I don’t know much about Paul Alinsky, I am more of Procrustes’s bed in Greek legend kind of person, deal with it.
#105-noname-I am more of Procrustes’s bed in Greek legend
Then perhaps I would be the perfect Theseus.
Who ever said I was a birther? But then again since Obama won’t disprove their claims maybe there is more to it than meets the eye.
Deal with it.
#106 Dr Dodd,
I like this FUD stuff you BIRTHERS are desperately peddling.
“since Obama won’t disprove their claims maybe there is more to it than meets the eye.”
I guess in your words, you can claim not to be a BIRTHER, but in deed, you certainly are.
Be honest with yourself, your a BIRTHER, deal with it.
Whether Obama is a racist or not has nothing to do with his heritage. That is a non-sequitur to the discussion.
To focus on that and not on issues (like your thoughts on his racism) is (ironically) rascist. Otherwise, those who hate him would just focus on what they don’t like about him, not about perceived wild-ass reasons he shouldn’t be President.
#110-pedro-You take time to read his posts?
Yes, I afraid so. I’m not proud of it, but I was bored and he amuses me.
#88 Dr Dumbass
Lets recap shall we?
Post #32 Dr. Dumbass
“#31-noname-site an example regarding Obama shredding the Constitution…
Let see, so many examples – so little time.
The most egregious example is Obama appointing hoards of unaccountable Czars that make it possible to bypass elected representatives.”
My response to your post #32
“Show me the part of the constitution it violates to appoint Czars.”
Your response to my post #81
“I find your choice of complaint interesting. I’m sure it would be beyond fascinating to hear why you don’t have a problem with Obama appointing a hoard of Czars for the expressed purpose of overriding elected representatives. ”
Now my response to your post #88
I bet you would find that interesting. Too bad my post was “Show me the part of the constitution it violates to appoint Czars.” I assume you can not and are now trying to avoid that burden of proof.
Unless you can back up your argument with facts I will dismiss you as another stupid fuck that simply spews crap for the sake of thinking they something important to say.
This was probably an intentional “mistake” made by the administration to whip up the birthers so that they can point fingers and say, “see, the opposition is full of nuts!”
Alphie, the budding Nazi,
the fact he sat applauding racism in a racist church for 20 years,
Hey, you told us that Reverend Wright was right! So please explain how this came to be, he is right one day and then wrong just a couple of days later.
Maybe all those statist beliefs you have been swallowing are effecting your brain.
#112, Alphie, the Budding Nazi,
Your reply proves your inconsistency is best explained by a desire to deceive others…to smear your opposition as being racist, when they act like you and dispute circumstantial evidence, as it is circumstantial.
I have asked you and others on several occasions, what has the Reverend Wright ever preached that was incorrect. You idiots never answer. Instead you come with garbage like that above.
You are a racist and don’t care. You have to be to keep your incoherent tone and rambling nonsense.
Typical Nazi fascist.
# 117 Alfred1
Your post is the lamest attempt, at the use of logic, I have ever seen.
Alfred1,
You are either very stupid or just clumsy at being disingenuous. The question is a simple one: do you believe Obama is an American citizen?
There is no “maybe”. There is “yes, here is why”, or “no, here is why”. Then you have to produce proof. If there is no proof, you have to drop the issue.
If you try and keep the issue open by bringing in non-sequiturs, you are either an idiot or a racist.
So I aoplogize for calling “birthers” racist, I really do. Some of them may be just idiots.
See? It’s simple. If you want to discuss anything under the sun about Obama’s policies, personalities, or principles, feel free to do so. I will even add counter-arguments if I disagree with you. But this issue is done. That’s all. Keeping it open only makes you look foolish.

I’m just saying it’s more likely that he went to a Bilderburg meeting that that he was born in Kenya.
Oh, FYI: Inappropriate laughter is a sign of mental instability.
