Just to play deviI's advocate in order to move this conversation forward, let's hypothetically say that Obama had been born outside of the US, just like McCain (and I have no doubt that had McCain won, Obama's 'most ardent supporters' would be bullied and called 'birthers').
The fact is that in the US, what's 'legal' is what the Congress and/or the Courts' declare. Once it's pronounced, it's a done deal. In the case of a president's qualifications, it's the US Senate that makes such pronouncements. If the US Senate decided it wanted Arnold Schwarzen_eger to become president, it would declare that he met the Constitutional qualifications (35 years old and natural born) if it took passing legislation adopting Austria as a US territory and making it retroactive.
The US Senate already made that declaration about Obama in a backhanded way when it declared McCain to be "natural born" in a resolution co-sponsored by Obama in 2008.
With the 'New World Order', a one world economy which is beyond borders and installing corporate governance, we're moving in the direction of foreign-born presidents. There already is a move afoot within the establishment elites to change the legal definition for 'natural born' (it shall be interchangeable with 'a corporation chartered in the US'), so that, for example, a CEO of a transnational corporation headquartered or doing business in the US would be qualified for the presidency. Not that it matters anymore; with unlimited contributions, corporations are having no problems controlling the White House and US Congress.
This is a valuable opportunity for Americans to discuss an issue which should inform and empower citizens, but instead it's being met with exactly the kind of reaction that we on the left used to get from Bushies when we questioned everything from his TANG records to his law-breaking and devastating policies.
