Giving "Crazy" a bad name

I just happened upon a website that was reporting in detail why president Obama does not qualify to be president since he is not a "natural born citizen" as required by the Constitution. These people give crazy a bad name. With so many things to be concerned about, they should be focusing on something that is important and realistic. Instead, they are spending time and effort on a completely ridiculous subject.

The simple truth is that Obama clearly meets the Constitutional test for president; he is a natural born citizen. Over a hundred years ago, it was determined that a natural born citizen is one who, at birth, was a citizen of the USA. That means anyone who was born within the USA; anyone whose parents were both US citizens when born; or anyone one of whose parents was a US citizen who had lived in the USA for more than five years of the previous ten. It would not matter if Obama had been born in Kenya as many of these fools contend; his mother was a US citizen and she had certainly lived in the USA for five of the previous ten years.

The sad fact is that so many of these nuts take something which is clear and try to distort it into a cause. The left does this all the time. Unfortunately, conservatives have their own lunatic fringe with which to contend.
