Obama, understanding birther issue

I wouldn't say we're puzzled at all. Churchill was voted the top Briton of all time in a poll not so long back.
He was the main figure in the downfall of Hitler, so for our wartime allies to hold him in high regard, follows.

What is puzzling, is the American foldness for the slimeball Piers Morgan.

To what do u attribute the contrary allegation ?

George Wilcken Romney (July 8, 1907 – July 26, 1995) was an American businessman and Republican Party politician. He was chairman and CEO of American Motors Corporation from 1954 to 1962, the 43rd Governor of Michigan from 1963 to 1969, and the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 1969 to 1973. He is the father of former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney and the husband of former Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Lenore Romney.

Romney was born to American parents living in the Mormon colonies in Mexico; events during the Mexican Revolution forced his family to flee back to the United States when he was a child.

Romney's grandparents were polygamous Mormons who fled the United States with their children due to the federal government's opposition to polygamy.[1] His maternal grandfather was Helaman Pratt (1846–1909), who presided over the Mormon mission in Mexico City before moving to the Mexican state of Chihuahua and who was the son of original Mormon apostle Parley P. Pratt (1807–1857).[2][3] In the 1920s, Romney's uncle Rey L. Pratt (1878–1931) played a major role in the preservation and expansion of the Mormon presence in Mexico and in its introduction to South America.[4] A more distant kinsman was George Romney (1734–1802), a noted portrait painter in Britain during the last quarter of the 18th century.[5]


Romney's parents, Gaskell Romney (1871–1955) and Anna Amelia Pratt (1876–1926), were American citizens and natives of Utah. They married in 1895 in Mexico and lived in Colonia Dublán in Galeana in the state of Chihuahua (one of the Mormon colonies in Mexico) where George was born on July 8, 1907.[1][3][6] They practiced monogamy[1] (polygamy having gone into decline following the 1890 Manifesto). George had three older brothers, two younger brothers, and a younger sister.[7] Gaskell Romney was a successful carpenter, house builder, and farmer who headed the most prosperous family in the colony,[8][9] which was situated in an agricultural valley below the Sierra Madre Occidental.[10] The family did not speak Spanish and chose U.S. citizenship for their children, including George.[10]

You couldn't be more correct. But foreign born for 'President' is a step to far. The founders thought of this one office, that it be the very best for 'both' parents to be of natural born American's.

What's insanely hilarious about this comment is that the founders, every one of them, was born a citizen of another country and we probably didn't have a President with natural born US citizens as parents until the 1850's when all those "founders" were dead and gone.

If you mean born before the US came into being and they was British citizens therefore then you are doing game playing of little worth in my opinion.

Not at all. The OP feels that the intent of the "founders" was that the President should not only be a natural born US citizen, but his parents should be also. I think that is ridiculous since I doubt the first fifteen Presidents could claim their parents were of US citizenship.
