Being a natural born citizen in most instances means you share in the culture and values of the citizens here, and have loyalty to the nation. Not always the case of course. A foreigner who moves here and becomes a citizen probably also shares that to less of an extent, otherwise they wouldn't want to be a citizen of this country. Being president means you are commander in chief of the military also with a lot of responsibility. You wouldn't want someone with dual loyalty or even dual citizenship to be in that position.Why? We need a leader who has a better background then an American to be able to show us the way of others. What good does our ways do to the rest of world? Buying elections in other countries, forcing our greedy ways on to others, and a pleura of purely illegal actions done to people. Watch the film Drones and you will see that more innocent people get hurt and increases the growing number of terrorist's. You really want to send a message to the rest of world that we are growing up and we will not drop high explosives on you unless there is clear cut evidence of ill-harm to us.
I'll accept that Obama was born in Hawaii for lack of concrete evidence to the contrary, but his past is shady. I even downloaded his birth certificate from whitehouse.gov when they released it and put it into photoshop. They fools didn't even lock it, and you could see there was layers that if you removed, you saw it was created and constructed, and not a copy which couldn't be dismantled.
Supposedly Obama at one point was a citizen of Indonesia where he attended the Muslim madrasas when his mother moved to Jakarta and remarried He was accepted into Occidental college under scholarship for foreign aid as citizen of Indonesia, under the name Barry Soetero, which was his step dads last name.
Got a little off topic here...
What do you think of the idea of national sovereignty? Do you think the United States should rule itself, or should a world leader or world governing body rule all nations?
By the way I have seen drones, watched the other day on netflix, and agree, we have done a lot of harm in the world. Part of this was due to the project for the new American century, which believed it was better for the US to dominate the whole world, so no nation could rise up against it and threaten our dominance.
