FactCheck Website Admits Obama was Kenyan Citizen

Following the controversy over the authenticity of Barack Obama's birth certificate can be a bit confusing with all its detailed analysis. Your humble correspondent will leave that up to the experts. However, in response to the charge that Barack Obama is not an American citizen, Obama's Fight the Smears website, quoting FactCheck.Org, has made a bombshell admission...Barack Obama was once a citizen of Kenya. You read that right, Obama had Kenyan citizenship until 1982. Here is the startling admission published in Fight the Smears (emphasis mine):

“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.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4, 1982.”

I thought under the constitution any person BORN in the US was automatically a US citizen.

I believe the phrase is "born or naturalized in the United States". The language is in the 14th Amendment, so if that's the case at worst, Obama is a duel citizen until 1982. I don't think you could say he's a Kenyan for just that reason. He is American.

OK. So, where does the ORIGINAL VAULT COPY of Obama's birth certificate SAY he was born??

I think that Obama was probably born in Hawaii but cannot prove it because he would have to show the original COLB, which he cannot do because the copy shown on Fight the Smears was a forgery. He probably tried to hide either his real name, Barry Soetoro or maybe Bary Dunham or the fact that his parents were never married, very probable because the father was already married.

Correct.

The ORIGINAL VAULT COPY of Obama's birth certificate is UNAVAILABLE.

Kind of like Hillary Clinton's Rose Law Firm billing records, John Kerry's military service records, Sandy Berger's National Archives presidential memos, and Bill Clinton's medical records.

Amazing how people who claim to have the integrity and competence to run the United States just keep losing sensitive documents, the loss of which just seems to benefit their careers.

Why don't you pull it out of your ass and take a look?

I'm sure it's in there, right next to all of the arguments you remove to grace us with on these boards.

Because it's not in my ass. That's why.

Only an ignorant doofuss like you would think that Obama's birth certificate would be in my ass.

Sounds like you are out of ideas, and you want to engage in a battle of insults.

Arnold Schwartzeneger is American, regardless of his heavy accent. When born, the spirit of America was already in his blood. Watch his movie Red Sonja with that other 6 foot tall blond statuesqe American Beauty what's her name.

Who was that famous American Army General Secheskavilli. Is he the one who soon after retiring did his patriotic American duty and became General of the army in Estonia? You can't get any more American than that.

Yes. I do have a lot of great ideas.

The main one is called Freedom.

There's no point in wasting it on Obama's Cult-of-Personality zombies like you.

And while you're rolling on the floor laughing, how about slurping up a few cockroaches with your tongue and help keep the place clean.

Nope. Not an issue.

It was resolved many, many years ago by Congress.

You're grasping for straws, but there's nothing there. No comparison with O-blah-blah.

So if the Alaskan Secessionist group that Sarah Palin's husband belonged to is successful, would he lose his US citizenship? Or would he have dual citizenship because he's married to Sarah, who I assume would remain a US citizen because she, you know, loves this darn country so much (wink).
