Thread Name: BS: Obama's education
Subject: RE: BS: Obama's education
Oh yeah, and "Obama is apparently an Indonesian citizen, since he never fully complied with the naturalization process." Since he was born in the State of Hawaii, he is a natural-born citizen, regardless of his father's citizenship. And that birthplace and birth certificate stuff? Thoroughly debunked. FactCheck.org says that their "staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said."

And, while we are at it, anyone who thinks that Representative Pelosi and the lying "alternatives to the Republicans" (i.e. the Democrats, I assume) control Congress and can get anything done doesn't understand basic civics. There are 49 Republicans, 49 Democrats and 2 Independents in the Senate. Unless there are 60 votes to break a filibuster, the Republicans can prevent any legislation they don't like from being passed.
