When I first heard all the talk several months ago about Barack Obama not being an American citizen, I checked it out on Snopes.com and then dismissed it. But now I'm questioning again.
I heard Phil Berg on a talk radio show, then I looked up the youtube video (link below). Phil Berg is not a nut -- he is a former Deputy Pennsylvania Attorney General and candidate for Pennsylvania Governor with impeccable credentials. And here's the kicker -- he's a Democrat.
He has filed suit demanding that Barack Obama prove his citizenship. To date, Obama has failed to comply. Here are the particulars:
1) Obama has put a birth certificate showing he was born in Hawaii on his website. In fact, two birth certificates have shown up -- one with a seal and one without.
2) Barack says he was born in one hospital in Hawaii, his sister says he was born in another.
3) Barack's paternal grandmother says she was present at his birth in Kenya. If he was born in Kenya, he is not a U.S. citizen under the law, because his father was not a U.S. citizen and his mother had not spent the requisite time residing in the U.S.
4) Even if Barack was born a legal citizen in Hawaii, there is the matter of his Indonesian school records. They record his citizenship as "Indonesian." Indonesia did not offer dual citizenship. In order to be a citizen of Indonesia, Barack's U.S. citizenship would have had to have been renounced.
5) If Barack regained his U.S. citizenship, it would have been through the process of naturalization -- Under the U.S. Constitution, a naturalized citizen cannot serve as President.
6) If Barack did not regain his U.S. citizenship, he is an illegal alien.
This video is kind of long (more than 10 minutes), but I urge you to view it. It raises some very interesting questions.
