Source: CNN wanted Lou out

An honest person would tell the nutcases would not give the nutcases the satisfaction of doing anything they wanted, which is what Obama is doing. The birthers are not worth even reacting to. If you want to be taken serious, you got to win some court cases, which you guys with all the facts are failing to do.

Remind me never to buy a car from you.
 
Your a dueler, eh?

Draw!

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

What qualification did he not meet?

A constitutional Natural Born Citizen... can't be one if you are also born a citizen of another country. :doh
 
The article is using semantics.

To me a natural born citizen would be anyone who has had citizenship from the moment of birth. One that did not have to be "naturalized" because he or she was naturally born a citizen

Obama was born in Hawaii, USA. This seems pretty well proven. Under the 14th amendment he is then a citizen of the U.S. Since this citizenship was given to him upon the moment of birth he was naturally born a citizen of the U.S.

The founder's may have thought differently. It does not matter. The 14th amendment is just as much a law as anything the founders wrote.

Dual Citizenship does not affect one's ability to be naturally born a citizen. In fact it is a technicallity.

Obama was naturally born a citizen of the U.S. under the 14th amendment. His dual citizenship in Britain is a strawmant arguement, since it cannot change this fact.
 
It looks like Dobbs is a birther, which is reason enough for CNN to find him embarrassing and wanting him gone.

It all started over the summer, when Lou Dobbs was hyping the crazy Birther conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's birth certificate. After this nonsense went on for a while, Klein sent around a memo to CNN employees declaring the story "dead," adding "anyone who still is not convinced doesn't really have a legitimate beef." But Lou Dobbs didn't consider it dead, and he kept on flogging it.
That's when things got interesting. CNN President Klein, who had previously declared the story "dead," flip-flopped, calling Dobbs' treatment of the topic "legitimate" and blasting Dobbs' critics as "people with a partisan point of view from one extreme or another."
One of the critics of Dobbs' relentless hyping of the Birther conspiracy theories had been Howard Kurtz. And Kurtz had mentioned Klein's memo on Reliable Sources. But, oddly, he never mentioned criticized CNN's president for endorsing Dobbs coverage -- in fact, he never even mentioned Klein's flip-flop
Boy, you had that nailed. :rofl:spin:

I have already won. Obama is president, and the birthers are losing every court case.
