Associated Press: Arizona Senate Approves 'Birther' Bill

Really? We've had a ton of foriegn presidents have we? Seriously, Obama proved his birth, met the critieria, did all that should be required by anyone. The question is why what all have provided is not good enough for Obama? It begs a few real and honest questions.

The legislation isn't about President Obama. It's about all presidents. It's about time.
 
Gee, another stupid bill from Arizona. What will President Obama need to do that he hasn't already done? Stupid Republicans.

Of all people how can you call republicans stupid, is there a basis or just hatred. I have seen little in your posts that suggests substantive comments, just name calling. Don't you ever get bored writing insults, I am sort of getting used to your "style" of writing. To bad this is on the internet so you can't use crayons.

Just so we are clear I am not saying you are stupid, just that your posting seem so similar as to not add as much as I am sure you can.

:lamo This is OBVIOUSLY about President Obama. Let's not insult one another's intelligence by pretending otherwise.

Hey I've got a great idea for a law! If any ex-governors of Massachusetts want to run for president, they have to prove that they've never been polygamous. Of course, I'm not referring to any SPECIFIC person, this is about all presidents. :roll:

Again, how many non-American presidents have we had? When was it ever an issue before? Seriously, an issue?
 
FYI, for everyone. The AZ legislature's fundamental allegiance is to large businesses in the state, just as it is any other right wing state.

The silly "birther" bill, along w/the other so-called anti-immigration bills, is nothing more than political posturing--legislation aimed at merely creating the impression in the minds of of the massively dumbed-down right wing electorate in AZ that the pols are actually interested in their moronic racist agenda, while being virtually ineffectual in practice.

The birther bill obviously is not going to be enforced, and neither will any of the anti-immigration laws (which the cops know are detriment to their job in a state where so many Latinos live).

I'm sure many Arizonans would find your use of the words anti-immigration laws offensive. Don't you think latinos would like to see immigration laws enforced too? They are being harmed by illegal immigration too. Granted, the way the media lied about what the laws actually were would give them pause, but the truth is, the bill would be to their benefit too.
Why wouldn't the birther bill be enforced? It sure ought to be. To not be, would seem to be unconstitutional.

You just can't help yourself, can you?

The point is!! It makes perfect sense that any candidate for President of the United States should be formally vetted. What's so damned odd about that? Shouldn't candidates have to prove their eligibility?? Come on, make a case for why it doesn't make sense they should have to do so in a formal manner. I'll wait.

I didn't realize that foreign born people trying to sneak into the presidency was such a huge issue.

President Obama has proven to the proper people that he was born in Hawaii, the United States of America. How smart is it to pass legislation that obviously usurps the authority of the Federal Government? It's stupid and politically motivated just like SB 1070, which would do nothing to control the borders.
 
Since Kenya itself does not recognize dual citizenship, it would never have conferred Kenyan citizenship on someone born in Hawaii who is already an American citizen, even though the father had Kenyan citizenship. Therefore, Obama has only one citizenship - American.

Hardly. There was no legitmate reason for it to have ever been an issue this time. You can't legislate away stupid. Stupid will always find a way. :coffeepap

That's fine, but I expect whoever wins the Republican nomination to make the biggest freaking deal ever about unveiling their birth certificate. I think it's the least they could do now.
 
Here's a thought, don't like it, don't move to Az.
 
Obama will not only go down in history as the first black president, but as the first president with no address for his place of birth.

Have you noticed how many of them were born in their "birthplace." And James K. Polk was born in a box, apparently.
 
Obama will not only go down in history as the first black president, but as the first president with no address for his place of birth.

Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children
1319 Punahou Street, Honolulu, HI 96826

Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at Kapiʻolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital (now called Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women and Children) in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I hope they all do before they are nominated.
 
Newspaper articles give the address of his parents:

Well then Trump need to stop saying we don't know what hospital.

He can't. He needs to keep being outrageous, so he can compete with Sarah Palin for the nomination. :mrgreen:
 
Obama will not only go down in history as the first black president, but as the first president with no address for his place of birth.

This made me laugh. Can you please provide a link for that crap?
 
OF COURSE this isn't about Obama.

OF COURSE this is just a state trying to make sure that the Federal Government is fulfilling its constitutional duties.

AND OF COURSE every president after this one (as long as they're white, and have a good english sounding name) will be subjected to the exact same scrutiny about their birthplace as this president.

Or not.

That's the word I stick to it.
