Palin: Obama birth certificate 'a fair question'

Palin: Obama birth certificate 'a fair question' - Ben Smith - POLITICO.com

"Would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?" she was asked (around 9 minutes into the video above).

"I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue. I don't have a problem with that. I don't know if I would have to bother to make it an issue, because I think that members of the electorate still want answers," she replied.

There you have it, Palin is a birther. I think most people knew she was not real bright, but this should pretty much cement that reputation with most people, outside that 10 % of the far far far right who are into conspiracy theories.

For those on the right who like to talk about how the left is afraid of Palin, this is a good example of why we are not. For her to run for office, she is going to have to do interviews and talk alot, and it's just not a strong suit for her. I did not start this thread out of fear of Palin, but because I think this is hilariously funny.

Sure it is a fair question, and her answer is a pretty fair example of a savvy political answer to a poorly baited hook. Like it or not. Fact is that the "birthers" are certified facacta in my book. This? This is hardly her proponency of the issue. Oh wait, I forgot I need not reply since I'm far far far far farpoint station right. :rock

Funny how she never asked McCain that question....

And if that made a modicum of sense, you would not be PeteEU. :blah:

McCain was not born in the US. You should know that.

 

[DarkWizard12]

McCain was not born in the US. You should know that.

He was born on US territory, that counts.

So yes, he was born in the US.

 

[Sir Loin]

McCain was not born in the US. You should know that.

Good lord, thank you Pete for that news flash! Now can you make even a modicum of sense here as it is related to the subject of the thread? Last I checked there is no "secrecy" about McCain's birth place. But hey, hip us all to your treasure trove of PeteEUfactoids.

This should be shallow and reek of hack. Let me guess, Petey, time for your knee jerk you're "attacking me" boo hoo?

 

[PeteEU]

He was born on US territory, that counts.

So yes, he was born in the US.

Again, no.

John McCain was born outside the Canal zone, hence outside the area under US control. According to his birth certificate, he was born at the Colon hospital in Colon, Panama, which is widely accepted as being outside the US administrated Panama Canal Zone.

So again, where was Palin and all the birthers when McCain was their champion for the US presidency?

No there is no secret of his birth place.. The Hospital of Colon in Panama... which was not part of the US controlled Canal Zone... .. it says so on his birth certificate.

And yes people born in the Canal Zone after 1904 have been retroactively been granted "natural born citizenship", but he was not born in the Canal Zone.. so who can he be a natural born citizen?

So again, Sir Lion, you were talking about facts.. let me guess you will dismiss these facts in your usual fashion of writing a load of drivel with no actual meaning and certainly no relevance of the subject, in order to derail the debate and discussion because the result is not to your liking?

Oh. My. Heck.


This is just perfect. The perfect icing for the really really sickly bad for you treat that is Sarah Palin.

Apologies to Chuckie and Jallman, in particular, but I really must excuse myself to guffaw loudly now!

wasn't old John born in Panama?:2razz:

 

[PeteEU]

wasn't old John born in Panama?:2razz:

That he was.

 

[UtahBill]

That he was.

What makes me wonder about birthers is why they disregard that Obama's MOTHER was and is a citizen of the USA, thus the location of his birth means nothing. He could have been born in Moscow, USSR and it wouldn't matter...

Because either they are idiots or racists. Dunno which are worse, but in both cases they are hypocrites.

Still makes him a US citizien since his parents were both AMERICANS... FAIL

Here Pete, have another one of these.

It most definitely would matter.
Sans the soil requirement... you apparently seem to think that all it takes is being born of one citizen parent for one to be a 'natural-born Citizen' as required for the Office of POTUS.
If so, you are mistaken.
Because in all actuality the requirement of 'natural-born Citizen' has never been defined.
There is more evidence that our founders meant two citizen parents than one citizen parent.

 

[Coolguy]

Still makes him a US citizien since his parents were both AMERICANS...

But it does not make him eligible for the Office of POTUS.

 

[Ockham]

This is less about the "birther" movement and more about meeting the constitutional requirements. Hypothetically - were there a valid question about the birth certificate of a nominee running for president, the Constitution requires that the certification of the birth certificate is verified before that nominee can take the oath of office for President. This goes back to the Constitutional requirements - as far as I know, those requirements were fulfilled. I think what the birthers (and I'm guessing here) are suggesting is either they have no confidence in the people who reviewed the certificate, or they believe there is a conspiracy to hide the lack of a birth certificate. Unfortunately, what fuels the fire here is the secrecy about Obama --- and while Hawaii has claimed all is well, what would verify this once and for all and what should have been done months ago, was to put together a panel of 5 Dems and 5 Republicans to validate the Election Committee's findings and sign off on it publically.

That would put a nail in this "birther" movement for good, or at least, a large part of it.

Through birth abroad to one United States citizen



For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true [6]:

1.One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person in question was born
2.The citizen parent lived at least ten years in the United States before the child's birth;
3.A minimum of 5 of these 10 years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday.

Through birth abroad to two United States citizens

See also: jus sanguinis
A child is automatically granted citizen ship in the following cases:

1.Both parents were U.S. citizens at the time of the child's birth
2.At least one parent lived in the United States prior to the child's birth.
INA 301(c) and INA 301(a)(3) state, "and one of whom has had a residence." The FAM (Foreign Affairs Manual) states "no amount of time specified."

A person's record of birth abroad, if registered with a U.S. consulate or embassy, is proof of citizenship. They may also apply for a passport or a Certificate of Citizenship to have their citizenship recognized.
