Had a really funny conversation with a wingnut today: RE: Obama Birth Certificate, not American...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4032194


So basically the guy comes into my shop today. I've got CNN up on the TV, and he makes a comment about how Obama shouldn't even be allowed to run for President.

ME: Why not?

HIM: His birth certificate is fake, he wasn't born inside the US.

ME: He was born in Hawaii.

HIM: No he wasn't. He was born in Kenya.

ME: Where did you hear that?

HIM: On the radio.

ME: Well, he was born in Hawaii, but let me ask you another question. You realize that his mother was an American citizen?

HIM: It doesn't matter what she was, he wasn't born inside the US so he can't be President. He's not really a citizen.

ME: Look, here's where your reasoning is wrong. US law states that the children of US citizens are US citizens. Period. It doesn't matter if he was born on mars, he's still a US citizen at birth.

HIM: I don't think so.

ME: Ok, do me a favor. Next time you're at your computer, sit down and look up John McCain's bio, he was born in Panama. Not in the US, in Panama. So by your logic McCain shouldn't be able to run for President either.

HIM: OK



These wingnuts are so cute when they're spouting off their nonsense.

Wasn't this "the DUmmy position" for weeks?

Sorry DUmmie, but for Obama to be born outside the USA and be a citizen, both parents have to be US citizens. If he was born outside the USA and only one parent was a US citizen, then he is toast.

I went thru all this hassel with my X-wife. She was born to a US soldier and a British bride in Germany. She was both a German and a British citizen by birth but not a US citizen when I married her. She can never be president.
