Birther Poll 2: The Long Form

[Smash255]

Yes, but the real answer should be

I DON'T GIVE A FLYING F*#@

Seriously, can we have a constitutional amendment to change that part of the Constitution already?  If anything were to set off a nationwide movement for that, it would be this.

What about his having Indonesian citizenship as a child as evidenced by his attending one of the madrasas (Islamic schools) and his name at the time was Barry Sotero. Why was McCain's records gone through but Obama/Sotero's wasn't?

1.  He didn't have Indonesian citizenship.

2.  He never attended a Madrassa

3.  Barry is short for Barack

4.  Sotero was his step father's name

5.  How can it be possible to be this ignorant?

[Likely Voter]

Even if all that Indonesia nonsense was true (which it clearly isn't), how does that cast doubt on his Hawaiian birth? How can anyone say he was not born in Hawaii, please explain (same goes for the 'dont know' people).

Would you mind telling us, which madrassa did Obama attend? Or are you going to claim, that every US public school is either a Christian missionary school or a yeshiva? I guess, you attended school in the US. So, does that mean that you studied nothing but the Bible? You know, the burden of proof (that, say, you studied math), is on you ))

Obama attended 2 schools while in Indonesia. The first one was a Catholic school (St. Francis Assisi, no less). The second one was a public school (very elite public school, as it happens to be).

So, the question is. Is The St. Francis Assisi school a madrassa (I guess, it would come closest), or are all public schools in Indonesia madrassas?

The burden of proof is on you not me. This stuff (about him attending the madrasa)is mentioned in one of his books.

Please, provide a quote ) Or else, I have to conclude that you have no clue what a madrassa is, but use a fancy word because you like the sound.

Of course not. He was born in the Kingdom of Hawai'i, which is currently under Yankee Imperialist military occupation.

As with all 42 previous presidents, we'll never know for sure of course.

Therefore we're probably two centuries late to worry about such things.
