KEEP OBAMA – EVEN IF HE ISN’T AMERICAN
Why?
Because if the President-Elect turns out to have been born in Kenya, a British colony at that time, and the media and courts are too scared to confirm this, it opens the door for another Brit. And many more Americans might just approve of THIS one.
Today I told an online friend that I wouldn’t be referring to the ongoing saga - “Is Obama a natural-born citizen” (fascinating term if ever I saw one) – until the courts made mention of it.
But I’ve changed my mind.
I haven’t made any secret of the fact that I think America elected the wrong man, and for the wrong reasons, but … well … if they end up keeping an ILLEGAL president THIS time round, then presumably the constitution is being re-written on the fly.
That would mean, more or less, that Tony Blair could then stand as a US Presidential candidate. (Well? HE’S British too! And as naturally-born as most of us.)
After he’s sorted out the Middle East, of course.
About four years.
JUST ANOTHER ‘UNNATURALLY-BORN’ FOREIGN US PRESIDENT?

the American people …
and Congress …
One who kind of suits the background … and …
is proven at home and internationally…

And they will already have had as near a copy as possible by 2012.
Read this blog and interesting comments on the ongoing natural-born state of the Big O.
And this site – Natural Born Citizen – expands on the Britishness argument of Obama:
Excerpt:
At Barack Obama’s web site, the following admission:
“FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship
‘When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…’ “
Read that last line again.
“That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…”
That’s an admission that Great Britain “governed the status” of Barack Obama, Jr. Brack Obama has chosen to highlight this on his own volition.
And this leads to the relevant question:
HOW CAN A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN’S STATUS BE “GOVERNED” BY GREAT BRITAIN?
A natural born citizen’s status should only be governed by the United States. This is the core issue before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Alas, we cannot change our Constitution, not even for a well-liked and admired man like Tony Blair. He is a cut above the rest (and that includes Obama AND Schwarzeneggar).
Interesting that Obama would be considered British if his birth certificate (the real one) ever shows up. I’m still waiting.

I know you can’t, US Citizen, even if some would be content to ignore the constitution if it meant losing The Big O.
My tongue was firmly in my cheek in this post.
But it might make some people think of the can of worms they might be opening if, by any chance, Obama is, one day, proved NOT to be a “natural-born” American citizen and they insist on keeping him anyway.
Disregard Blair … I can think of a few other less savoury characters who’d love to work their way into the American presidency.
And the news tonight is that Venezuala’s President Chavez is going to start talking to America now because The Messiah is here.
Honestly, with friends like that …?
