Here is my response to a birther after he sent me this link http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/22495 :

Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural born person. Eligibility is not based on the father's birth place as suggested. Nor on the mother's birthplace either.

McCain is not natural born. He was born in Panama and people there are American citizens by a law and not naturally born. I think McCain was and is ineligible as a presidential candidate.

For example, my sister was born in Germany. She is an American citizen by law and renounced her dual citizenship in 1970. She is not natural born and therefore is not eligible to be president. McCain is the same as her as far as birth and eligibility.

The birther movement was started by Hillary and her people as a tool against McCain. Repubs just picked up on it for Obama. McCain never brought it up himself because he knew where it would lead.

I heard about 7 percent of all Repubs in the south don't even believe Hawaii is a state. Go figure and no wonder this birther thing will never die.

On the positive side, it is good for the economy because it sells books and speeches. It lets web hosting companies host websites about this, etc. It is a living for many and that's good. Just like the Kennedy assassination and UFOs.

As to the website. Interesting arguments but I have seen most of what he says on other websites. There has been an explosion of such sites since Obama was legally elected.

Thanks for the web link. I will bookmark it and go back occasionally see if there is more to read.

I sure wish there would be a Supreme Court ruling on this... not to settle things but to get things riled up. Birthers have got to get over the fact that a black man was elected. They really do, but again... if you can make money from this or if it helps get it out of your system to talk and read about it, then that's okay too.
