Rep. Cantor Won‘t Call Birthers ’Crazy’ But Believes Obama Is a Citizen

WASHINGTON (AP) — The new Republican House majority leader says he doesn‘t think questions about President Barack Obama’s citizenship should play a role in the discussion of policy matters.

Two years into the Obama administration, so-called birthers continue to argue that Obama isn’t a natural-born citizen and that he hasn‘t proved he’s constitutionally qualified to be president. Birth records in Hawaii haven’t dissuaded them.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says he believes Obama is a citizen and that most Americans are beyond that question.

Appearing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Cantor refused to call people who question Obama’s citizenship “crazy,” saying it’s not nice to call anyone crazy.

Cantor says he believes that Obama wants what’s best for the country and that there are honest disagreements over how to achieve that.

      No I don‘t appreciate him siding with Israel but I also don’t believe everything that is written in an opinion colulmn or everything thats on the net. It was a closed meeting so how do I know what was actually said?? Anyways, Israel hasn’t been a good friend to the US for a very long time.
      A bit of history look up what happened to the USS Liberty when they (Israelis’) invaded to claim Israel. I am aware of dual loyalities. I have a few of my own especially with Ireland and Poland but I also know this is my home and will always side with America.

    The whole birth certifcate issue is a diversion to keep as many people as possible worked up over an issue that can and will be used to marginalize any that disagree with the slide towards Big Government. Has anyone but me noticed that when the LSM interviews the left the issue of the birth certficate is always used as a stepping stone to marginalize/demonize the right?
    Having said that, please understand that if information comes out that would substantiate any claims about citizenship or lack thereof I want to know it, but I am not going to spend any time or energy trying to convince someone or myself of something that amounts to pure speculation at this point. What is not speculative is the power grab that is going on and will continue until January 2013 when a new President can be sworn in. We have much bigger fish to fry than this right now. Our Republic is in danger and our energies should be expended on efforts that will rescue the Republic.

    I have believed all along that Obama was not qualified to be president once I heard his father was a foreigner and that Obama inherited citizenship with Britain at birth. Whether he was born in Hawaii or not is moot since you dont have to be a birther to realize that he had a conflict there to being a natural born citizen of the USA.

    After reading more on it. I now realize that our founders had used Vattel’s stance on what constitutes a natural born citizen and it has confirmed my gut feelings about his constitutionality to being POTUS. He IS NOT and NEVER has been eligible even with a Hawaiian BC.

      Since the Hawaii SOS cannot expose his BC because of state law, then we can assume he won’t be running for POTUS in 2012, right? I don’t think this little scheme will work the 2nd time around and miss puluseeee will NOT be able to sign the false docs declaring him POTUS, and I don’t think Speaker Boehner will sign his name illegally to that doc. Be WATCHFUL AND READY TO FORCE from bo THE Birth Certificate, we the citizens of the US won’t tolerate this kind of corruption again HOPEFULLY!

    You can tell the Progressives are in full attack. Can I say “attack” anymore? Mr. Gregory was trying his hardest for a “got you” moment. This is not the first time he has pursued this line of questioning either. Remember Rep. Clayburn? Also, I have a question?? I watched the entire episode this morning and during the roundtable discussion I thought I heard something?? One of the guests was commenting on the effect President Bush had on the economy. It was an obvious partisian derogatory slap at Bush and I thought I heard Mr. Gregory gleefully agreeing in the background. Was it him?? If so should the host be taking sides???

    Cantor was just striking a civil tone about things that are only a distraction from important issues at this point. Trying to rid ourselves of Obama at this point will only take time away from stopping him from sinking our economy any further.

    Eric Cantor handles himself in an encouraging manner during this ‘interrogation”. He’s a thoughtful, intelligent man and would make a good running mate for Jim De Mint in 2012.

    The republican party needs to wake up at look at what they have to offer to run against Obama. They need new faces at the forefront. They would have two good solid conservative without baggage with a De Mint/Cantor ticket. Look at their voting record and the way they present themselves in front of the press. No no showmanship with “Hoax and Chains”, just good solid conservative thinking and actions.

    And for the record, being a citizen isn’t enough. He has to have been born in the USA and at least one parent has to be a citizen. If he was born outside of the US he doesn’t qualify.

I have heard tales of people going to very rual county seats and within a few minutes, have in hand, an original, long form “Certificate of Live Birth” for their 89 year old grandmother who just died for, insurance purposes. I now belive , that he was not a natural born citizen. His mother was very smart . She made sure that her son would have all the benes of citizenship to a country that she hated. There are too many “things” that have not come out. One question I’ve had was ,,, He was born to a family of modest means…… OK who paid for him to go to Harvard? Other questions about his paying for schools. He never held a job. Most everyone that I know will tell of times in collage when they had to have a job just to eat.
      He was given a total pass as to any questions that might explain any of these ….. er problems,

Most people keep close tabs on important personal papers and there is no reason to believe that he lost or misplaced it since (supposedly) authoring the book. Why get an electronic COLB? If Obama had said at some point that he misplaced it, then that would be understandable for him acquiring the COLB.

      After reading “The Case Against Barack Obama” prior to the 2008 election, it raised questions of his schooling and of other claims Obama made about his education (this book was extensively footnoted and documented). I do have the right, as a citizen, to question these things and if there was nothing to hide they would be made public immediately. This does not mean I am crazy, nor does it mean I am a “birther”, it simply means it is my right as an American citizen to ask, and receive an answer, to unanswered questions about a public servant.

(after all, race baiting usually comes from the left) Or what if the father is listed as “unknown” or someone other than Barack, Sr.? A tad embarrassing!

Is the reason the long form BC not being released because (a.) it has embarassing information on it or (b.) its because he was born in Kenya and is a plant from some conspiracy cult of new world order marxists with the goal of destroying the country and ruling the world? >insert evil laugh<

      Which of those two options sounds the most logical and realistic? I'll give you a hint, if you say (b) you're the crazy one who will believe anything with no evidence.

      As to his University papers…I don't know. I could only speculate. I imagine they would also be embarassing in some way. I'd love to read them though.

      I’m so relieved he doesn’t think these are crazy questions: When Obama traveled to Kenya; did he have an American Passport? If he did, what proof of citizenship did he submit to the Passport office? If he had a diplomatic passport, what official business was he conducting? When he applied for employment, did he give a Social Security number? If not, why? If he did, what proof did he submit to the Social Security Administration that he was a citizen to receive a number? If a birth certificate can’t be found, answer the above questions and settle the issue forever and ever. Or, does someone want an issue on the table to try to make his critics look bad for as long as possible? What is the motive for not settling the issue, getting it off the table and moving on? Even if the birth certificate lists his race as white, how many that voted for him would care a twit about it? It is obvious he is of mixed race. What could his most ardent political opponents say: “Oh, since the certificate says he’s white, we must stop opposing his agenda.” Or, “Whoever filled out the certificate was wrong about his race, thus he’s not qualified to be president.” Get real. For them it has never been about the color of his skin, but the content of his agenda. Nevertheless, if he won’t prove his citizenship, release school records etc., many in the public ask why? They know they are not crazy for asking, and some wonder if those calling them so are all there mentally.

      MR BUTCHER, I guess my point is this: neither side has any evidence to the contrary so why is one crazy and the other isn’t. You stated very factually, “Obama’s birth certificate lists his race as white. It would be embarassing for the first black president to have that come out as fodder for all the race-baiters.” I guess I don’t see the relevance of the “white” part when it was evident that he had one black parent and one white parent by his own admission. That was moot point as far as I can see but yet you state so matter-of-factly that the certificate stated he was white. As for my choice of a) or b), if I were a “birther”, which I’m not, I would chose b) but that would still not make me crazy, it would just make me an American who is exercising her right to have an opinion. And it does not make those who believe Obama is an American citizen, even though they don’t have proof, crazy either – maybe gullible, but not crazy.

      You’re right. I should have stated that differently. With more of a tone of conjecture not a statement of fact. Apologies.

      But if his birth certificate does list his race as “white” (which was very common in those days when inter-racial babies were born) it would be a mild blow to his mystic. Just imagine how some folks around here would respond to that or, if you prefer, Al Sharpton.

After all, that is Al’s mantra, no matter what the case is. I just want our country governed by people who love it and want to preserve its integrity and honor. Someone who has to hide behind his power to cover up his past is hardly honorable and puts his integrity in question no matter which side of the question you are on.

We need some one strong who knows whats going on and will put the Progressives and the media in their place. TRUMP!!! CAIN!!!

      The problem is that you have Progressives in both parties and the hide themselves fairly well. John McCain and others say just enough to get relected by the minority. If more of the population voted in elections between the Presidential years then maybe we could be farther down the road with replacing them. Since a lot of people only think that those elections are the only ones that matter, another progressive lie spun by our educational system. And we let these people become citizens at a faster rate than years gone past.

      What I want to know is from Cantor is he just saying that because he is respecting the Presidential Office or he really believes that. Remember there are times when you have a hard time wanting to believe that we voted for an avowed Communist.

      Obama has never wanted what is good for the country. At least I have no proof of it that I can see. Unless making the US into a Marxist, Communist State is considered good. Those are the facts that Obama has to his Marxist credit, and that is not good.

      As far as the birth certificate…. It is a little late in the game to chase that one down. One has to wonder why the left is the one fanning the flames of the birth argument. Seems we should be watching their other hand on the left at the moment. This birth issue is a dead ender without supporting evidence and it seems we will never get that from the most transparent POTUS in history. (That was sarcasm.)

      That being said, I think that the birth certificate is just a distraction from the real issue. Though it does bug something in the back of my mind as to why he is not just letting his long form certificate be seen.

      It is pointless for Cantor to get into a subjective argument about Obama’s intentions. That is not his role as House Majority Leader. Instead, he spoke about changing course, and deftly threw the ball back in Obama’s court:

      “Does the President now embrace what the electorate said, which is, ‘We reject your agenda, Mr. President… Let’s try it a different way?’”

      The point of having the rule that the office of President can only be held by a natural born citizen, is to ensure that foreign, and especially big-government, ideologies do not impose on our citizens.

      Since Obama is pushing Marxist ideals, rather than free market Capitalist ones, he is not qualified to hold the office of President, whether or not he is a natural born citizen. He is guilty of treason, both for falsely swearing an oath to the Constitution, and for his coordinated attack on our liberties.

      Come on, patriots. We know this is an attempt to distract from the repeal of Obamacare in the Senate and other major issues. Furthermore, if the Red Roach and his media can get us focused on his Birth Certificate, they know we will lose independents in 2012.

      This man has hid everything from We the People: his ideology, his agenda, his associations, his original birth certificate, his school transcripts, his medical records – everything. If he weren’t a commie, one would think he went through a witness protection program. However, the time for vetting is gone. If we try to uncover his past now that he is in control, he will destroy us. In case we have forgotten, Obama is tyrannical, and he has the FBI in his pocket.

      The Red Roach’s most recent propaganda is to claim that the first two years he kept America from falling off the cliff, and now he will focus on jobs. Bull. He has been focusing on those “three letters” (the Harvard hoax can’t even count) from day one. Right now conservatives need to laser-focus on how disastrous Obama’s economic agenda has been.

      This should really be a cause for great concern. To those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced shadow man. Reminds me of The Manchurian Candidate. Let’s face it. As insignificant as we all are… someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face… someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us.

      I heard George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. He questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. I also heard that Stephanopoulos was a classmate of Obama at Columbia — the class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him.

      While he is such a great orator, why doesn‘t anyone in Obama’s college class remember him? And, why won’t he allow Columbia to release his records?

      NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA !

      Looking for evidence of Obama’s past, I was told Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him. Anyone know if this is accurate? They say… Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983 In 2008, Root says of Obama, “I don’t know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don’t have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. EVER! Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, “Class of ‘83 political science, pre-law” and says, “You don’t get more exact or closer than that.” Never met him in my life, don’t know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was.

      The guy who writes the class notes, who’s kind of the, as we say in New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him.” Obama‘s photograph does not appear in the school’s yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia. NOTE: It is said that Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same class that Barack Hussein Obama was supposed to have been in.

      Some other interesting questions… Why was Obama’s law license inactivated in 2002? Why was Michelle’s law license inactivated by Court Order? A rumor is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases.
      Hmm. Really! Rumor has it the Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is reported to never have lived. No wonder all his records are sealed!

      Somewhere, someone knew him in school…before he “reorganized” Chicago & burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention & made us all swoon with his charm, poise & speaking abilities.

      Does this make you wonder? Well it certainly Should! If anyone knew him in school, please speak up or reply.

      We’ll see if we get any responses.

      With Barack Obama’s ever-growing list of broken promises and ever-increasing lies to the American people, how can anyone “believe” anything he says?

      Just show us the long-form birth certificate, President Obama, and clear up this valid issue once and for all.

      Cantor is –like McCain– and other old guard Republicrats part of the problem. The Republicans were impotent when Clinton was IMPEACHED–and allowed their Democratic leaders retain the Liar.
      Politcs is just a game they play –and Cantor,and McCain and their ilk will defend even the devil himself if he is chosen by the Democrats.After all to the mere politician it’s all an us or them game.Government against the people they were originally intended to serve.I cannot agree that Obama is a Patriot who wants what is best for America– Two years have made manifest his hatred for the country that has given him so much.

      CANTOR MUST GET VOTED OUT HE IS SO STUPID HIS WIFE TAKES THEIR TRASH OUT.

      No one said Obama is not a citizen, what the question is, is Obama a native born citizen? There is a big difference. Swartzeniger is a US citizen but he was born in Austria. Colin Powell is a US Citizen too but he was born in Jamaica. Obama is a US Citizen but he was born in Kenya. None of the three are qualified to be US President.

      I hope this is considered Critical Speech because it’s intended to be.

      THERE IS NO DOCUMENT, THAT IS WHY IT CANNOT BE PRODUCED. JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN IN THE USA DOES NOT MAKE YOU A US CITIZEN.

      Many Americans were born in the USA but live overseas and have allowed their US passports lapse and are no longer US citizens. If they wanted to return they would have to do it with a foreign passport like Obama did. Obama went to college as a foreign student and traveled the world with an Indonesian passport. What Obama did is under the law High Treason.
      Kenya only gives out Kenyan Birth Certificates. You cannot get a Hawiian Birth Certificate from Kenya.

      Obama went to college as a foreign student.

      @Truthtalker: Exactly! But all I’ve seen is a partial certificate, not the full monty, which doesn’t give details on what hospital he was born in, etc. When you run for president, all your records become public…and I mean ALL! If Hawaii refuses to reveal those details, then they’re clearly hiding something! Probably because their governor is democrat! So how do we “really” know that even the partial certificate’s not a fake?

      Why the hell to idiots hang their hats on birth announcements? My parents had my birth announced in the paper in their home towns in Mississippi, their parents home towns in Texas, Tennessee, and Alabama as well as the papers in each states capitals, being printed in a news paper shows absolutely nothing.

      I was adotped. it was no secret. but they could not find my birth certificate.
      so they went to the county that we resided in and got a Certificate of Live
      Birth. They were listed as my birth parents and in a county other than where
      I was born. My point is that the Certifcate of Live birth does only proves that
      you are allive. This is the document that is used to prove that Obama is a citizen.

      Anybody that thinks Obama is NOT a US citizen is a fricken’ moron. Put it to rest, idiots – we all know the story and have seen the birth certificate. Focus on the important issues….like how Glenn Beck is trying to brainwash all of us and ruin this country.

      AZMama–I hate to say you are wrong, but you are. The current state of the law, as I’m sure you well know, is that mere birth withing our borders confers citizenship, as tens of thousands of happy Mexican mothers can tell you. It doesn’t matter where Papabama was born or what his politics were. If Juniorbama was born in Hawaii, he is a natural-born citizen.

      THEGREYPIPER:

      You’re making a very common mistake. Being born in the US allows you citizenship, not NATURAL BORN citizenship staus. You must be a NATURAL BORN citizen to be President of the United States.

      The law that was in effect at the time of Obama’s birth (1961) is the relevant law in this case regarding NATURAL BORN citizenship. Look it up. Obama is not a NATURAL BORN citizen. Period.
