Actually it does matter. If he was not born in the US, he is not eligible to be President. A few months back there was a semi-debate over whether McCain, who was born on a US Military base oversees, was eligible. If Obama was born in Kenya, or anywhere else not in the US, he would not be eligible to run for office.

It really is a big deal.

The US Constitution requires a person who is elected President, like Barrack Obama wants to be, to be a natural born citizen of the United States. Barrack Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States because his mother, Ann Dunham, is a natural born US citizen. He did, however, spend many years outside of the United States as a child and his father, Barrack Obama Sr., was not a natural born citizen of the United States. In order to be on the Presidential ballot in some states they may require that his campaign produce a copy of his birth certificate or other documents that certify Barrack Obama’s US citizenship. I suppose there are some who would use this bureaucratic mess caused by the state of Hawaii against Obama but it is stupid of them to do so.

Arbys, you are an idiot. No…wait….pause….ok, yes you are.

He is NOT a natural born citizen because his mother is. Where do you get this crap? Thats the law in the Philippines, not the USA. Doesnt matter what his mom or pop are….was he or was he not born in the USA or its territories?

His mother? What? You seem to have your countries mixed up.

I recall a federal law requiring my birth certificate for Army service. If he says no, then not only is he barred, but also prosecute him for conspiracy to commit fraud.

Here is another thing no one seems to realize: Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama (his full name) is NOT BLACK ! He only has 6% Black in him - he is mostly Arab on his father’s side ! HIs fahter’s birth certificate lists him as born in Africa but Nationality is ARAB ! So Obama is ARAB-American, not ‘black’ American. He is hiding this fact so he can get the Black vote here and pass for black. There are so many secrets being kept for Obama, he makes Mr Secret King George look mild in all his secrets ! Secrets for sane people are suppose to raise a red flag of warning !
Are American’s so mind-controlled and programmed they can’t even think anymore or SEE what is right in front of them ? All I see and hear are excuses for everything. Since when do we carry out gov’t business with excuses and cover-ups and deep secrets all over the place ?!

Ithink its fantastic that hes not a white rich guy- finally multiculturlism comes to the Presidential race :about time

lissie, you are right, he is not a rich white guy, he is in fact, a rich Black guy.

watch out for his “change”, that’s what Castro and Hitler said to their countrymen, read about what happened to those two countries.

Sounds like you are one of the Koolaid drinkers, what a pity.

Ithink u take it for read that anyone running for office in the US is rich - the land of the free definitly is not an equal opportunity society! My drink of preferenace is gin -what’s that got to do with anything?

Does sound like Lissie has been hitting the koolaid quite a bit. If Obama is not natural born citizen, then he is NOT eligible to be running. You would think the “powers that be” would have checked this fact when Obama filed his intent to run for president.
