Rumors are flying about Obama not being a natural born American citizen, about how he was actually born a Kenyan and thus not eligible to be president.
We just went through this with McCain, who was actually born in Panama to American parents - his Dad was in the military and serving in Panama - so we are told he is legally a native born American citizen.
Wait a minute...
We have had hundreds of thousands of pregnant Mexican women(illegals all) sneak across our borders, just so their child could be a native born American citizen, and the government says, "Yes, those children are America citizens, they were born here", regardless of the status of the parents.
Well. If our laws state that a child born in this country is a citizen - regardless of the status of the parents, why the hell is John McCain not a Citizen of Panama? That's where he was born, on Panamanian soil, and by our own reasoning, he is a native born Panamanian, regardless of the status of his parents.
Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at the Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Obama, Sr., of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham, of Wichita, Kansas. His Mom and Dad sepeated when we was two, and his mother then married a native of Indonesia, Lolo Soetoro, and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia in 1967, where Obama attended local schools in Jakarta until he was ten years old.
So, Obama's Dad is not an American citizen, but a citizen of Kenya. His step dad was not an American citizen, but a citizen of Indonesia. Does that affect his status as a citizen in any way?
Explain to me me how either one - McCain or Obama - is a true American citizen, under the guidelines outlined in the Constitution of the United States, and its rigid requirements of citizenship for the presidency.

I think that there is some question about just where Obama was born. I have recently heard that he was born in Kenya and that his mother then flew with him to Hawaii very soon after. Also heard that there is a Kenyan birth certificate to prove this as well.
Seeing these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is everywhere in this day and age, and I am fairly confident when I say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further advances, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about almost every day.
