Has their ever been any proof to the contrary that President Obama was not born as a U.S. citizen?

I am asking this question because I am trying to understand the mentality of Sarah Palin and the comment she made about President Obama's background check. I believe it is called insanity when a person does the same thing over and over with the same result in desperation of getting a different result. Shouldn't she try something different?

    There has never been any proof that President Obama was not born in this country.

    And Palin was just being petty to the nth degree. That's who she is. That's what she does.

  • I am not an Obama supporter, however, the answer is No. His Birth Certificate is clearly authentic, albeit rushed, but on an island as busy as Hawaii it is not exactly Beverly Hills or Cedars Sinai. In any case, The President was born a United States Citizen. The only issue that has ever really been up for debate was his Student Loan Application in which he changed his status to receive Financial Aid. That, however does not mean he surrendered his U.S. Birth Citizenship, he simply changed his name to Barry Soetero and applied as an Indonesian Citizen. That, however, does not prove he was not born in the United States, simply that he claimed a different citizenry for college.

    I do not agree with that, however, college is not exactly the Real World anyway.

    Source(s): The site I found useful was the Military.com, during the 2010 elections in which this was still being heavily debated.

    No, and no investigation was ever done.

    By the way, which do you find persuasive:?

    > The original internet picture of a B.C. that the Obama campaign admitted was a forgery; or

    > The 2nd (most famous) one that Hawaiian Officials said looked like a picture of a real BC of the type they used to give to kids born OUTSIDE OF HAWAII; or

    > The photos of someone holding an official-looking document - that can't be read in any of the shots; or

    > The PDF that Obama's lawyer told a Judge is a poor forgery designed to embarrass the Obama administration; or

    > No. Never-mind - there aren't any more.

    So, which convinced you? Which of those 4 options would YOU use to show your place of birth?

    Of course there has been proof, but the left and their tag team partners, the national media, choose to focus their hatred on the messenger, and not the message itself.

    Az Sheriff Joe Arpaio has proven that Hussein's birth certificate is indeed a forgery, now he is working on his SSA number.

    When Hussein was a Senator, he bragged about being a non-American citizen! In fact, the publisher of his Harvard law Review journal, wrote that Hussein was born in Kenya. I noticed no objections from Hussein!

    The fact of the matter is the guy is a foreigner, usurping the highest office in the land. Hussein is masterminding the biggest, most incredibly devised scam in the history of the country!

    The really sad thing is that we have a national media that instead of doing it's job, is the mouthpiece of the Hussein White House, and instead of keeping Americans informed of what's really happening, they sweep Hussein's fuckups under the rug, and viciously attack those who shine a light on them.

    If not for the media, Hussein would still be a senator.

    I think Sarah Palin was talking about the population at large not having looked at Obonzo's connection to Bill Ayers, the Rev. Wright, etc. Obonzo ran as a centrist (both times) and then swerved hard left. I agree with her--had the population not bought hook line and sinker the smear campaign Obonzo ran, and done a check on his background, policies, accomplishments etc-perhaps this country wouldn't be in the hole he and his cronies have put us in.

    The most definitive proof to the contrary that Obama was not born a US citizen is that they released his birth certificate.

  • Well, the Republican Governor of Hawaii at that time certified that his birth certificate was real. This is proof enough for me since the Governor stood to gain for the Republicans if he had just waffled or said it was not real and valid.

    He was born in Hawaii but since his mother was an American citizen I don't think it makes a difference of where he was born

    John McCain

    Mitt Romney

    Marco Rubio.

    NONE of these folks have shown their Birth Certificate.

    His Kenyan Grandmother says she was present at his birth, even helped deliver him.....in KENYA...but Obama calls his G-mother a LIAR...runs in the family I guess.
