Comments on: McCain and Obama’s To-Do List for the Debate http://pjmedia.com/blog/mccain-and-obamas-to-do-list-for-the-debate/ Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:56:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Itumpi (Brit) http://pjmedia.com/blog/mccain-and-obamas-to-do-list-for-the-debate/#comment-130651 Itumpi (Brit) Sun, 19 Oct 2008 12:01:17 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/mccain-and-obamas-to-do-list-for-the-debate/#comment-130651 In 1961 Obama was born a British citizen through his father who was a British citizen. In 1963 Kenyan citizenship was created when Kenya became an independent country. People who became Kenyan did not renounce their British citizenship because British citizens may be of dual nationality. It also does not matter what nationality was adopted by Obama's father in 1963 because Obama became a British citizen at birth in 1961. It would not be legally possible for his father to take away his son's citizenship without his consent and there is no evidence that Obama himself has ever renounced his British citizenship. He may have shrugged off his Kenyan citizenship at age 21 but this does not apply to his British citizenship. There is documentary evidence that his stepfather adopted him and registered him as Indonesian to enable him to attend school in Indonesia. This again would not negate his British citizenship because as British he would be able to hold dual citizenship. The only nationality he has a dubious claim on (until he releases his birth certificate to the courts) is American citizenship. This needs to be sorted before November or you are in a terrible tangle! In 1961 Obama was born a British citizen through his father who was a British citizen.

The liberals denouncing it out of hand and not responding to it point by point could be a major constitutional crisis. It's easy - just release his real birth certificate.... That shouldn't be too difficult. Then this whole "nonsense" goes away. Why is it being avoided?

Kenya recognizes dual citizenship for children, but Kenya's Constitution specifies that at age 21, Kenyan citizens who possesses citizenship in more than one country automatically lose their Kenyan citizenship unless they formally renounce any non-Kenyan citizenship and swear an oath of allegiance to Kenya. Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, <b>his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982</b>.</i> He didn't lie because for the past 26 years, any hypothesis of dual citizenship was not in play. And I didn't realize you were so racist against Obama for being Kenyan. Sh*t, at least he was born in Hawaii whereas JohnnyPOWMac was born in Panama (yeah, I know, US Territory, but still, not even born on American soil). ----- At least, finally, JohnnyPOWMac, fresh from a nap, will join Obama on the stage to face questions by Jim Lehrer.

Not to mention a ban on oil shale drilling hidden in there.

I will conceed that he did come back and take the nomination, but really was there anyone else that could have won it this year? The smart ones stayed out and the rest were weak at best on the national stage. The Republicans as a whole are on the ropes because they allowed themselves to become greedy and corrupt. They have spent the time up to 2006 lining their pockets just like the Democrats they pretend to hate but emulated at every turn. There are some who are today standing up for the American people, but they are being villified by the everyone for wanting to protect the taxpayers they work for. The debates will change very few minds and in the end when the vast majority of the public step behind the curtain they are going to vote for something different. People won't vote because of a position put forth in a debate, they will vote like its a high school class president. They will vote for the one that promises the most regardless if he can deliver and who is part of the popular group (that isn't Republicans by the way). Spout all the wishful thinking you want, but it will come down to how many people can't stomach the Republicans and how many people think the Democrats will do a better job. The real answer is that neither McCain or Obama is a good choice, but at least McCain won't have the backing of the worst Congress in history.

Do you have any links from factcheck.org or fight-the-smears where it is admitted that he is a citizen of Kenya? No because you're a lying troll. The man was born in Hawaii, which means he's a natural born citizen. End of story. Back on topic, here's my short list for McCain at tonight's debate: #1: show up.
