Really Pissed Off!

There is no doubt about two things in this world. One is that there is more disinformation on the Internet than you can deal with! The other is that Barack Obama is a citizen of the United States and is therefore qualified to be President! Recently, I was sent an email, supposedly written by a Senior Fellow from the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. I decided to try to track down some information in the email, and try to educate myself on what the United States Constitution’s requirements. What resulted was the information in that email was incorrect, but more importantly, the disinformation on the Internet is so prolific that it takes a detective to wade through all of the crap out there! However, let’s get back to the line of inquiry regarding Obama’s citizenship.

What was particularly interesting was that I found the exact report from this Senior Fellow from the Hoover Institute out on “breakingthechain.org. That seems to be a strange place for such a prestigious report. Furthermore, I found another website, which basically claimed that this exact report was bullshit! This was “truthorfiction.com” and I really have no clue as to the validity of either websites, but it was interesting that they both addressed this article sent to me. Although I’m not from Missouri, I decided to try to get some “real” information regarding the subject to see if it might hold some water. It sank! The article in question refers to The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, AKA The McCarren-Walter Act and the an Amendment to the Immigration and Nationally Act of 1986, which is the basis of this erroneous claim. It is based on the fact that Barack Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Durham gave birth to Obama when she was 18 years old and that she must have resided in the U.S. for 10 years, and at least five years after the age of 16 to qualify her son as a citizen. As Obama was born when she was 18, he is disqualified as a natural born citizen. It continues but we will not, as the 1952 Act they are using for this argument refers to those people born “outside the geographical limits of the United States of parents one of whom is an alien.” Click on the last line and you can read it for yourself. Both the 1952 and the 1986 Immigration and nationality Acts address those children born overseas, when one parent is an alien. The 1986 law reduces the time to five years, two of which after the age of fourteen. This, however, is totally irrelevant to Barack Obama, his mother, who was born in Kansas and his grandparents, both of whom were born in Kansas. The fact that his mother divorced is father, remarried and moved to Indonesia has no bearing in this case. What we’re dealing with, however, is bullshit and it should be delegated as such. If you wish to see Barack Obama’s complete ancestry, you can click on this line. Don’t be surprised if you find Dick Cheney listed in the family tree! They could be ‘kissing-cousins!”
