Rick Perry Again Clarifies: ‘No Doubt’ Obama is a Citizen…but I Want to See His Transcripts

Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said Wednesday he is absolutely not a birther after making headlines over the weekend for saying he didn’t “have a definitive answer” as to whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States.
Instead, the Texas governor said he was “just having some fun” with Donald Trump, a longtime Obama birth certificate skeptic.
In an interview with the St. Petersburg Times on Wednesday, when asked if he was “comfortable” with the fact that Obama is a citizen, Perry replied he has “no doubt” about Obama’s citizenship.
“I don’t think I was expressing doubt, I was having some fun with Donald Trump,” he said. “Lighten up a little bit,” he added, and said he has “no doubt” that Obama is a citizen:
After the initial interview with Parade Magazine on Sunday, and after a follow-up interview with CNBC where he said it’s “a good issue to keep alive,” various media reports seemed to suggest Perry was “doubling down” on the birther issue.
But now instead of birth certificates, Perry said he wants to focus on something else: college transcripts.
“Let’s lay out our income taxes. Let’s lay our our college transcripts. Mine’s been on the front page of the paper. So if we’re going to lay out all these things, let’s lay them all out,” he said.
Obama’s college records have not been released, despite repeated calls for them. Perry’s college transcripts were leaked to the Huffington Post in August.

It is apparent that no one wants to tackle the birth certificate issue. Donald Trump looked like he meant business but for some reason, decided to drop the issue. They are afraid of this issue for fear of what they will find if the truth is discovered. They know that if it is found that Mr. Obama is not eligible to be President, there would be pandemonium in Washington and in Main St. USA. Congress would rather ignore the issue than upholding their constitutional duties.
Could Sheriff Joe be the answer? His office is allegedly looking into it.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 7:40pmSheriff Joe Arpaio and sheriffs like him, may truly be the only hope.
The candidates have yet to challenge Obama for not being a natural born citizen. Most talk show hosts only occasionally mention the birth certificate and when they do it‘s in the incomplete context of Obama’s citizenship. They don’t yet understand what a natural born citizen means.
Then there are one or two hosts (GB)who just refuse to even consider the issue. They are telling their audience to run away from it: to run from the truth and the Constitution! So sad. If they would just study the facts and make the connection to Obama being ineligible for failing to be a natural born citizen, irrespective of where he was born, they could change the course of history!
“Petition those responsible for enforcing the law to investigate Obama’s ineligibility and anomalies. It may prove futile to continue asking Congress to uphold the Constitution and intervene. Furthermore, federal law enforcement generally serves either directly or indirectly at the pleasure of the President. The best alternative is to petition your local Sheriff, just as local residents affiliated with the Tea Party petitioned Arizona’s famous Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Historically Sheriffs are empowered with a great deal of authority and serve independent of the federal government, thus avoiding any conflict of interest with the fox guarding the chicken coupe.” http://www.ObamaBirthCertificate.net

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 5:58pmWhy is it that people like Perry “have no doubt” about Obama’s citizenship with absolutely no proof what so ever? The darn Presidential candidate vetting committee didn’t even ask for proper credentials from him to validate his legitimacy as a candidate.
If he had been reading the World Net Daily coverage of what’s been going on with the birth certificates that were presented to the public as originals, he would have all kinds of doubts. Like the scrubbing of justia.com of 25 Supreme Court decision references regarding Presidential eligibility by birth. Following those references, neither Obama or McCain were eligible to run for office in the last election.
He’s just trying to avoid having the liberal/progressive media branding him a “birther”.
Whoever is elected as the next Prez needs to launch a full investigation into the fraud that’s been committed against the American People by these people…

The court thus implicitly adopted a meaning of the term “natural born Citizen” in the presidential eligibility clause which would include not only the narrow “common law” (based on apparent British common law) and the later United States constitutional designation for 14th Amendment purposes, that is, one born “in” the United States (jus soli), but also the statutory designation by Congress of one entitled to U.S. citizenship “at birth” or “by birth” transmitted from one’s parent or parents (jus sanguinis).

Please understand that the issue is not about whether or not Barack Hussien is a citizen. He very well may be, but he is still ineligible!
Supreme Court, Minor v. Happersett, 1874. “The Court held that Minor was a member of the “class” of persons who were natural born citizens. They defined this class as those born in the US to “parents” (plural) who were citizens.” This is “binding precedent as to the Constitutional definition of a natural born citizen.” — Leo Donofrio, JD., Esq.

… a subset of those are here legally…

… a subset of those are natural born citizens.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in the case of Minor vs. Happersett, directly construed the Article II Section 1 phrase “natural born citizen” as persons born in the United States to parents who were citizens.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in the case of US v. Wong Kim Ark, directly construed the 14th Amendment and included those born on U.S. soil, to permanently-domiciled non-citizen parents, as born citizens, but it did not call them natural born citizens (in fact, it diferentiated between them and natural born citizens by saying that the first is every bit as much a CITIZEN as the second) and the Wong Kim Ark ruling did not alter the ruling in Minor.
A natural born citizen is a person born in the country to parents (plural) who are citizens.
Obama’s own campaign web site admitted that he was born a British subject, because his father was a British subject, and British subjecthood passed to him at birth. And, consequently, as a natural born British subject, Obama was born SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE BRITISH CROWN.
The Supreme Court case of Minor v. Happersett clearly stated that a natural born citizen does not need the 14th amendment. Yet Obama’s campaign web site initially claimed (and then scrubbed) that he was born a citizen u

These equally important vital “facts” are now beyond Obama’s ability to refute, alter or hide! Unless it’s a fake, the inescapable truth is that his Kenyan father absolutely precludes Obama from being an eligible natural born citizen!
Be an informed voter. Please don’t be dissuaded from seeking truth and justice by the media or uninformed talk radio or TV hosts. Let their credibility suffer by inaction, and not our lives! Don’t risk Obama being reelected by the misled masses.
Initiate a local Tea Party petition asking your county sheriff, sworn and empowered to enforce the law of the land, to investigate and subpoena the original HI records for forensic analysis and comparison to Obama’s fraudulent birth certificate and social security number, as alleged by experts.
Presidential candidates now have legal standing. Each must file a lawsuit against Obama for fraud and failure to qualify as a natural born citizen, meaning born in the US to TWO US citizen parents, as required of the President by the Constitution, or be dismissed as untrustworthy!

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 5:51pmOf course Birtherism is a litmus test for intelligence, and Tea Party you failed.
There is a difference between a naturalized citizen and a natural born citizen, Obama was born on US soil he is a natural born citizen. In the case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), the Supreme Court ruled that a person becomes a citizen of the United States at the time of birth, by virtue of the first clause of the 14th Amendment, regardless of who his parents are with the expection of diplomates. The 14th Amendment has provided the definition that was absent in the Constitution. Like a typical Birther you cherry pick history and law to fit your bigotry.

Report Post »The Constitution doesn’t include any definition of the term “natural born citizen.” After people had argued about it for over a hundred years, the Supreme Court ruled that you just have to be born here, it doesn’t matter who your parents were, and they made it clear in the decision that they based their ruling on arguments that this was the definition of natural born citizen at the time the US Constitution was written – that they were not changing the law but clarifying what it had always said. That’s been the law ever since 1898 and it will remain the law unless the Supreme Court reverses that decision. That’s never going to happen, and even if it did it wouldn’t affect Barack Obama. There aren’t three kinds of citizens, there are only two – naturalized and natural born. If Obama wasn’t a natural born citizen he wouldn’t be a citizen at all, and not just him, millions and millions of people who were born here and have lived here all their lives would suddenly be citizens of nowhere and would have to apply to be naturalized in the only country they’ve ever lived in. Unlike you, Supreme Court justices are not raving lunatics, so even if they were to reverse US v Wong Kim Ark, which will never happen, they would inevitably grandfather in everyone born before their new ruling, so the President, who you hate so much that you would plunge the country into chaos if it would get rid of him, would still have the status of a natural born citi

“Citizenship wasn’t acquired by birth on US soil prior to the 1965 Immigration Act, considered by many to be a misinterpretation of the 14th amendment and contrary to the original intent of providing emancipated slaves who, without a US citizen parent even if born on US soil, had no other means of acquiring citizenship. The 14th amendment affects only citizenship, not a natural born citizen: one born on US soil to US citizen parents (plural)”. [1]
Representative John Bingham, framer of the 14th Amendment, speaking before The US House of Representatives, clearly agreed.
“I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong.

It would take a constitutional amendment or a Supreme Court decision reversing US v Wong Kim Ark. That’s really not likely to happen because all of the arguments you clowns keep rehashing are the exact same ones that the Court already examined and rejected back in 1898 when they first heard the case, and they’re never going to hear a case that isn’t based on a new argument.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 4:59pmThis is exactly how Obama is going to beat the rap. Allow the so-called “birthers” to be ridiculed by leftists and liberals until they lose credibility. The conspiracy to hide Obama’s real birth and student status is manifold. Many in high places are involved in this scam. It is very hard to unravel such a grand scheme to install the first black president to prove that there is no more racism in America today. But Obama proved to be a costly experiment. Besides being a not naturally born citizen because he was born in Kenya, his policies have taken this country to the brink of destruction. How is your hope and change now?

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 5:07pmIt’s a Constitutional issue, not a “birther” issue. His birth location is a mute point. A natural born citizen, meaning born in the US to TWO US citizen parents, as required of the President by the Constitution, is not the same thing as a citizen.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 4:43pmThis is the problem folks! Please read the Constitution of the United States of America and in particular Article 2 Section 1. CITIZENS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE A PRESIDENT AND YET THE MSM IS DELIBERATELY FALSELY AND INTENTIONALLY SAYING OTHERWISE AND THAT IS A LIE!
Article 2 Section 1 as made into the Supreme Law of the Land by America’s Founding Fathers establishes two classes of citizen. One class of citizen is eligible to be a president (the Natural Born Citizen) and the other is not (the citizen). At the time of the adoption of the Constitution, the Founding Fathers granted waiver to those “citizens” living in America at that time. Guess what folks? All those citizens living at the time the Constitution was adopted have all since passed away (unless some were immortal) and the “citizen” of today is not Constitutionally eligible to be a president!
But people who claim to be knowledgeable are not knowledgeable as it turns out but will call people names like birther if they try to bring this matter of fact to the attention of others!
The Constitution is what it is. If people don’t like the Constitution, then amend it! Until then Obama is an illegal usurper illegally occupying America’s White House imposing illegal anti America laws on America and people need to wake up and accept the truth!

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 4:39pmInsulting someone simply makes the insulter look uninformed. President Obama has kept his records in the dark. He has been on the national scene for over four years. I still don’t know who he is, or what he really believes. I feel that the citizens of this country have a right know who Barack Obama is.
I think Rick Perry makes some good points about why President Obama’s records should be released. At least, he had the courage mention those hidden records. Who else has?
I also feel that the msm will literally destroy anyone who questions Barack Obama’s citizenship. Many people feel the birthcertificate that the president released is a fake, but if I question it, I’m called a crazy birther. Well, call me crazy, but I think something’s wrong.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 4:29pmMr. Perry, you have no validation that he/it’s “obviously he’s a citizen”. There is more evidence that he’s not. You need to insure you have all of your facts before you get behind something like this.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 4:25pmC’mon Rick Perry–stick with the issues and quit trying to play the political game of diversion. I‘m not impressed and I sure hope others aren’t either.
Also if you are attempting to copy Herman Cain with your new economic plan you suddenly came up with as well as a sense of humor–personally, I don‘t think it’s working for you. If you’re going to do ANYTHING, Mr. Perry–at least be yourself–even if it’s not as polished, funny, or good as someone else. Otherwise you just come across as yet another phony politician. YAWN.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 6:25pmSince Sheriff Joe has no jurisdiction to investigate federal crimes committed in other states, I don’t think he will get very far – if there even was a crime, if the President ever actually used the number that we have been told he used, which of course none of us have ever seen any actual proof of.

Posted on October 27, 2011 at 11:47amObama’s purported birth certificate alleging “where” he was born, also indicates his parent’s citizenship “when” he was born. These equally important vital “facts” are now beyond Obama’s ability to refute, alter or hide! Unless it’s a fake, the inescapable truth is that his Kenyan father absolutely precludes Obama from being an eligible natural born citizen!
Be an informed voter. Please don’t be dissuaded from seeking truth and justice by media bias or uninformed talk radio or TV hosts. Let their credibility suffer by inaction, and not our lives! Don’t risk Obama being reelected by the misled masses.
Initiate a local Tea Party petition asking your county sheriff, sworn and empowered to enforce the law of the land, to investigate and subpoena the original HI records for forensic analysis and comparison to Obama’s fraudulent birth certificate and social security number, as alleged by experts.
Presidential candidates now have “legal standing” to challenge Obama in court. Each must file a lawsuit alleging fraud and failure to qualify as a natural born citizen, meaning born in the US to TWO US citizen parents, as required of the President by the Constitution, or be dismissed as untrustworthy!
It costs nothing to learn why a “natural born citizen” is not the same thing as a citizen, but it could cost you everything if you don’t.
