POTUS Obama Halts Bush Rules and Regs

All I'm saying is if he wasn't eligible to be president he wouldn't be...PERIOD...END OF STORY

I bet you guys think he's an Arab too? And his great mission is to destroy this country...yesssssssss

My comment to sit back and relax doesn't mean you do it forever. But at least give the guy a couple of weeks before you start bashing. If you naysayers are so informed, so intelligent, so perfect in your assessment, why aren't you doing more to fix things? And don't give me bunk about how you don't have the right backing or clout to get things done. Neither did Malcom X, Martin Luther King, but look at what they accomplished simply by inspiring others. I could name others who made a difference that don't have "clout", like the people who in NY got "Megans Law" put into place, and the people who worked to have the "Amber Alert" process happen. If you complain but don't do anything constructive to change the system other than whine in a blog, then you are STILL a part of the problem! I volunteer in the community A Lot. What do YOU do other than whine? The blame game, pointing fingers and jumping the guys bones before he has much of a chance to do anything is petty and small minded! Be a part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Being from Illinois, a state full of crooked politicans, Obama got elected because of the Chicago Political Machine.
If Obama has his liberal way...America might as well move next door to France.
Government needs to get smaller, like 25% the size it is now.
The Founding Fathers meant for it to be protecting our borders, post office, standard money and few other things. Leaving the rest to the states.
Washington DC is broken and does not look like it will be fixed any time soon.
How much more in taxes are you willing to give up?

I gave up on 'Natural Born Citizen' long ago ... everything that's known and continues to surface, points to the fact that the Abomination is an illegal alien!

Don't like the word usurper ... how about charlatan, fraud, imposter!

And my favorite word of all for the Abomination is: DEPORTATION!

Hey Alissa,
The question isn't whether or not he's a citizen, but whether or not he's a Natural Born citizen. And rather than just accepting heresay and being "pretty sure" about all this, why don't you do some independent research on the Constitution and on what the framers meant by "Natural Born"?
You'll learn that there's a significant difference between being a natural born citizen and just being a citizen. Look up Emmerich de Vattel's "The Law of Nations", a book heavily relied upon by the Founding Fathers - the definition is very clearly stated. You'll see that if the father is not a citizen (a fact Obama admits freely about his father) the child is not a natural born citizen.
Look up the other writings of the Founding Fathers, and other laws and acts, such as the Naturalization Act of 1790, which stated, in part,
"the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens". Interesting, but what is more telling is that the Naturalization Act of 1795 repealed the 1790 act, replacing the "natural born citizen" phrase with just "citizen".
There is ample proof that the framers saw a real distinction between one who was born a citizen and one who was a "natural born" citizen, and they thought enough of this distinction, and of the presidency, to insist that the president possess this quality.
Our magnificent Constitution, and the brilliant people who crafted it, deserve our undying appreciation and respect. Without it/them, this country would not have endured, and would not be that place to which so many people from all over the globe want to come. We have the enjoyment of our freedoms because of the Constitution - if we want to continue to enjoy them, we must defend and preserve it, from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. It is, and must be, the supreme law of the land, regardless of what anyone says.
Please, consider carefully what you dismiss by just being "pretty sure" - many thousands of Americans have given their lives so that you and I can have this debate. Please respect their sacrifice enough actually to look into this issue seriously. I believe your eyes will be opened!

Hey Joan! What constituation are you reading? I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter who your parents are or where they're from...if you are born on American soil you are a United States citizen...and as far as John McCain goes (don't like the guy but I'll stick up for him here) he was born on a Naval Airforce Base in Panama which is considered United States territory which means he is a Untied States citizen...

Everyone can get off of this whole naturally born BS because it's over and done with...do you really think someone in their right mind would let someone go on to actually campaign and then WIN the presidency if those facts were actually true?

Get real

"Ill-informed?" Priceless. Just answer one question,, why would anyone fight so hard to conceal something if he doesn't want it kept a secret? And no, his "original" has not been "seen," "touched," or otherwise examined. It is sealed. And you call us "Ill-informed?" HA!

Good lord almighty! When will you ill-informed nay-sayers going to SHUT UP? I am SO sure the vetting people would not do a thorough background check on a presidential candidate because we were so desperate for an intelligent candidate. You people are so bitter about being led by an intelligent man, who happens to be black, because he wants to help everyone, not just the people in the higher income bracket. Give the man a chance to lead this wonderful country back to a place of pride and compassion and admiration. Jeez.

And thank goodness the administration wants to go into this knowing what the former president has done so they will be prepared for it. That says something all on its own.

I can't believe people are still trying to play the "natural born citizen" card again.... jeez, let it go already.

I bet he doesn't take a vacation within a few weeks like GW did after his ingauration.

Lynnl you do not search good enough, you just spill your hate around.

FactCheck staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.

To all you hypocritical Bush bashers with the Obama blinders on. You are a waste of time to argue with. You never provide factual information or support your position. Always resorting to name calling, blaming, and typical talking points. You say we care about the unborn, but not the soldiers being killed...very hypocritical...you care about a soldier who volunteers knowing the risk of death is there. However, you kill an innocent unborn child who is incapable of volunteering. Like I said, blinders. Picking and choosing what matters to you with you basic principals. The hypocrisies are endless. You support the poor and middle class ha...then why do you support 4 and 5 dollar gas prices all in the name of the hoax you call Global Warming. How naive to think we are the cause! There again...provide some evidence(rather than name calling).

BO is not my president bc he is ineligible to be POTUS. WHY has he spent millions to hide all his information and hired three law firms to do so? Not one of the law suits has stuck so far DUE to TECHNICAL issues.

Apparently no one in our government cares about the constitution any longer.

Get ready for your rights to soon be gone.

BTW: McCain did not raise the issue bc he was ineligible also. He was not born on American soil even though both his parents were US citizens.

Barack may have been born in HI, but his dad was not a US citizen. That ALONE makes him ineligible by our constitution.

A president and VP need to be Natural born citizens. BO may just be an American citizen.... there is that Indonesian problem that may be preventing him from being a true American citizen.

LOL you republicans are so funny, John McCain and Palin would have run with the Place of Birth for Obama if it was an issue. In case you did not know it they comb though Obama's past big time, and no issue. Birth certificate was posted for all to see, and the only place we see it used again is by the couch quarterbacks (YOU)

lynnl it has been proven he was born in the USA, it is haters that think other wise. My God if you want a goverment job, they comb through your past with a fine tooth comb and your birth place is one. Anyone that has had a job and needed a security clearance knows this.

Oh, and Tom, as for your comment, "sit back and relax", that is why this country is in the mess it is in today! Because we, as American's, have sat on our butts and trusted that our government would do its job! The longer we sit back and relax the more our government will be taken advantage of! Our forefathers were geniuses! They thought everything through but they did not intend for "We the People" to just allow our government to function. We were to be part of the functioning of our government! But, we got busy with family, making a living, and we trusted those idiots that we sent to Washington to look out for our best interest! But now we are learning that they only look out for themselves and what their positions can do for them and their families. Our Constitution is being amended and revised so much so that our freedoms are dying! Now, you can sit back and relax if you want too, but I'm going to make sure that the guys I “hired” to do a job are damn well going to do their JOB!

Lynnl

Impeach Obama is not eligable and now we do in fact have a usurper in the whitehouse, yesterday is maybe the worst day in history for americia.

I agree with Malakie and Darwin. I feel people need to let go and think outside their comfort zone. Don't judge Obama for awhile. Just relax, sit back and watch for a while. You'll learn more, and if you'd stop jumping to conclusions, maybe you'll be surprised. In the workplace, being a supervisor gives you a view that you don't get as a regular worker. Why would the presidency be any different. He worked as a Senator. It's a whole lot different to be the President. He needs to understand why Bush made the decisions he did. He may agree. He may not. But adjusting to his job will not be instantaneous no matter what anyone thinks. Remember too, he can't MAKE the legislature agree. And there are some pretty stubborn "my way or the highway" attitude in both houses. The "new guy" needs time to create a new working relationship with the legislature and all things are not cleared through the legislature, so there will be rules, regs and other types of info that he needs time to review and learn. Being we're all human, I'm sure information slipped through the cracks that maybe Obama should have gotten and didn't get.
In any case, be a real American. He's our President by our voting system, whether you voted for him or not. It's time to move beyond Political party preferences and go to work to help America and Americans recover from all the crap that's going on. The blame game helps no one but the idiot trying to get out of being a part of the solution. Do you want to be the stumbling block to healing and recovery or a part of the solution?

Usurper is a derogatory term used to describe either an illegitimate or controversial claimant to the throne in a monarchy, or a person who succeeds in establishing himself as a monarch without inheriting the throne, or any other person exercising authority unconstitutionally. It may also be applied to an official... Tell us where this applies, or is it just your hate shinning through again?

Steven Ertelt get it straight Controversial late rules by the outgoing Bush administration include allowing the carrying of concealed weapons in some national parks and prohibiting medical facilities from receiving federal money for discriminating against doctors and nurses who refuse to assist with abortions or dispense contraceptives based on religious grounds. But you people will choose and pick anything. We real American want America to succeed not to fail, but hell you can not let someone do thier job crap not even in office 1 day and look at you haters.. It is funny that pro lifers mind if a fetus is killed but have no problem with our American Soldiers being killed. You know they are someones child, sister/Brother, Husband or wife.

A previous poster has said that this memo does not relate to Bush's Executive Order. I'm not so sure about that. Do you think Obama will let this order go through when it opens the way for citizens to file suits as to his own eligibility to hold the high office of POTUS?

Americans, wake up. You have a usurper in the White House, who has not proven his right to even be candidate for that position. Excuses are already being made for what Obama is doing, but imo, he is showing immediately what he is made of. He is not going to allow any person to file a valid lawsuit against him as to his eligibility, he is not going to be open and honest and he is definitely not going to respect the rights of concerned citizens to ask the question.

When the Civilian Defence Force that Obama is proposing is out there quelling unrest, you may find it too late to wonder what kind of creature has been elected.
