Michelle Obama: Birther

[Professor Zoom]

Isn't it somewhat strange that he thinks of himself as kenyan? Wasn't he raised on Hawaii by his (american) grandparents? He never lived in Kenya, right?

It may be peculiar to the rest of the world, but Americans have no problem thinking about ourselves in duality: I am an American, but if you ask me what I am, I will tell you I am Bermudian, because that is where my family is most recently from. It doesn't make me any less American by birth or by culture.

Agreed. Born and raised in the US, but when someone asks what am I, generally I say English and Welsh.

I assume they already know that I'm an American.

For the most part, America is a country made up of immigrants, ya know?

What would happen if it was somehow (However implausible) discovered that he was born in Kenya? Could his presidency be declared illegal by the Supreme Court, and what would that lead to?

It can't happen since he would still be a natural born citizen of the USA because of citizenship held by his mother.

The Supreme Court is going to have a good time deciding that.

No they won't.

Because it's not real.

Hypothetically though, it would be an interesting case.


As far as the original point (such as it was), the winning statement has already been made earlier in the thread:

If there was even the slightest possibility that this nonsense was true, Hillary Clinton would have found Obama's original birth certificate, rolled it up, and choked him with it publicly.

No, no they really won't.

Nothing is going to happen. Take that to the bank.
