Poll: Many doubt Obama born in U.S.

Among other points I could make about this report is the lunacy that 54 percent of ALL N.C. voters believe this nonsense. The Washington Post and CBS at least reported this poll was done by robocall, not even reliable in an election year when polling interest is higher. Since this week's hit-and-run smear job on N.C. (a blue state last year) by Public Policy Polling, few of those who have reported have done so.

This being a non-election year, you have to think a minute about who answers the phone when a pollster calls. It's not 46 percent of all N.C. voters. It's those who 1) don't screen calls, 2) had so little to do they stayed on the line when a robot called at a time most people consider inconvenient, 3) didn't even hang up when said robot went on at length with such intros as "Next, I'm going to ask you about seven issues."

With all the liberal commentators who jumped at the chance to ridicule a Southern Obama state, this fratricide is a more dangerous waste of a critical August is a worse diversion than the craziest of the birther town halls.

Don't believe me? Call him yourself.

Isn't that like admitting everyone that voted for him is stupid too?

How can Burr effectively represent so many dumb North Carolinians when he thinks their concerns are bucknuts? Maybe he needs a primary? Huh?

I'm sorry... YOU live off of government programs. Read: The Color of Wealth, you will find out who REALLY has benefitted from government largess.

ROFLMAO!

Burns and Gigglebox...STRIVE to be SMARTER than the EVIL controlling ORIGINAL party of SLAVERY WANTS you to be!

BitterExDemocrat is a racist whose opinions on this site have been proven to be based on ignorance and pure idiocy. Proven. End of debate.

"as a Democrat"= code for I live off of government programs

Anyone that believes Obama isn't a US citizen should also believe that Israel attacked the US on 9/11 and framed the Arabs or that a missile hit the Pentagon instead of a plane. That astronauts never landed on the moon. That aliens landed in Roswell in 1947 and the bodies smuggled to an Air Force Base in Ohio. That FDR wanted Pearl harbor to be attacked. The world's going to end in 2012 etc And every other ridiculous conspiracy theory ever concocted. I never knew that Republicans could be such sheep, I mean wow. John McCain wasn't even born in the U.S. but in the Panama Canal Zone but due to a technicality with military bases and parents is a US citizen, Obama has an American mother and was born in Hawaii a U.S. state which automatically makes him a US citizen end of story. As a Democrat I hope Republicans keep it up because they're only proving to Americans how crazy they really are. It's blatant RACISM and XENOPHOBIA on the part of Republicans, if he were white and from Hawaii it wouldn't be an issue. The talk about African and Kenya is code for "black man" and designed to incite racial fear amongst white bigot conservatives. It's like at the town halls shouting "we want our country back", they're saying we want our President to be white again because a black man in charge scares them.

McCain was born to two U.S. citizens--that makes him a U.S. citizen.

On the other hand, Obama was born to ONE U.S. citizen and one African--UNLESS he was born on U.S. soil, HE cannot be a U.S. citizen by birth.

Magical thinking does not change one's citizenship.

I don't support any democrat or republican. I require more than a good speech before supporting an elected official. You might want to be more skeptical and require more from your side. You should expect more from those that claim to be public servants.

Hey CharlesEB, what amazes me is that you or any other poster could have stopped this thread in its tracks by providing the factcheck post early on. Better yet any Obama supporter could have done so.You have me painted as some conspiracy theorist first instead of doing what I have asked all along, simply provide proof. See how easy it is to jump to conclusions about people? Perhaps you can go back and find where I said he was not an american citizen. Don't bother, you won't find it.

You complain fiercely about the stupidity of birthers and how embarrassed you are to be associated with them. You just proved you're just as bad as they are.

In addition to the suspicions concerning his birth, I read on one of my favorite blogs that Obama has been conspiring with muslim terrorists to manufacture chemtrails to subdue the American population and make it easier for a communist-sharia law takeover. My cursory investigations on the internet showed absolutely NO EVIDENCE of this. So I ask you this, why is Obama covering this up? Veeery suspicious....

Fuzzy math: So, 26% of people don't think Obama was born in the U.S. Let's deduct the margin of error, because one quarter of the population can't be that unbelievably stupid (please God), and bring that number down to 22%. Of that number, 8% of them also don't believe or are not sure that Hawaii is part of the U.S., which means they are functioning without a brain. So my tally brings us to 14% of the brain-wielding population who don't think Obama was born in the U.S. I am willing to concede that approximately 15% of the population, certainly within this state but in the South in particular, are bigoted Hannity/Limbaugh-listening twits who cannot form a coherent, objective thought about anything pertaining to politics. So, yes, I'm afraid I can see that the figure (adjusted by my math) might be correct.

And since it would seem that some of the sad, sparrow-witted freaks that make up the 15% are also posting here, please, get help. And if all else fails, trust in Sarah Palin, and try to enjoy the first of President Obama's two terms.

BitterExDemocrat makes an excellent point as usual.

Why isn't his party running the country is all I ask?

Forget the birth certificate, just explain what passport was used in 1982 when he went to Pakistan. In 1981 Pakistan was on the US no travel list so you would not have been able to use a US passport. That means he used a British passport(Kenya) or a Indonesian passport. Either of these would have meant he relinquished his US citizenship which would make him ineligible to be President today. I would love to see his school records or medical records because both of those would answer that question and another improtant one Religion.

I don't even know why this is news or the slightest bit surprising since the Republican Party in North Carolina has such a large contingent of rednecks, Jesus freaks and morons.

See the birthers are picking the wrong battles in my humble opinion and since MIA asked if the factoids are relevant to National Security, then I will pose a few questions to MIA.

Please explain what Obama did during the summer that he spent "vacationing" in Pakistan?

That does have national security implications - and I think the fact that bothers the Birthers are the inability to know the definate truths concerning so many aspects of President Obama childhood, schooling, higher education, known associates, etc...true intentions for our great country!

Oh really? Cremated? Is that a factoid relevant to national security, healthcare reform or immigration? Or the recession? Or are you just tooling around for Obamatrivia in the endless quest to make something of him that only exists in the minds of people who don't have enough of a life?

That ought to be interesting.

His maternal grandparents were cremated. :)

Never under estimate the ignorance of some people.
They will believe anything if they hear it enough.
These same people think that Iraq was involved in 911, wrestling is real and Jesus hated poor people! oh yeah, Sarah Palin is brilliant.
God Bless the mentally challenged among us.
BTW, how much did Jesus charge for healing the sick??????

WHY does it matter so much to you? Do you mean never in your life has there been a mistake on a document of yours? WHY don't you just call the White House and ask? Sorry to be rude, but you need a dope slap. Where did you get this perfectly irrelevant trivia? Are YOU a conspiracy theorist? or just a conspirator? What's YOUR name and where do YOU live?

Tragic.

The true question is why has Obama spent over a million dollars to hide his real birth certificate? Not the 'Certificate of Live Birth' (which you can't use to apply for a passport, and therefore doesn't PROVE citizenship.) I actually believe Obama was born in Hawaii. However, I also want to know what he is hiding on his birth certificate.

Birthers, Grow Up

Wrong. The Constitution does not define "natural born."

Nobody knows what it meant or means outside of statutory interpretations, wghich have varied over the years.

McCain certainly should be eligible to serve as President. For that matter, so should Gov. Schwarzenegger and Gov. Granholm, despite being immigrants.

John McCain is white. Both is parents are white. By default that makes him white, it didn't matter where he was born, he is American! President Obama's parents are white and black. So by default he is black in America. By default he must be African, even if his mother is white, she gave birth not his father. She gave birth on USA soil! Like John McCains mother! You can't reason with fools! These folks actually believe this stupid lie! Still in this country today a great deal of Black Americans born and raised in this country can't get a CEO job in most business! SO, IT'S ASTONISHING TO ME HOW A STORY LIKE THIS CAN EVEN MAKE THE NEWS MEDIA! If his "birth certificate" weren't perfect! Jesus Christ couldn't have gotten him into the job of President of The United States! In spit of the fact that his father came from a long line of KINGS! Far more royal than the folks who first came he from Europe!
