Birth of a Controversy: Why Didn't Obama Disclose Info Sooner?

Friday, April 29, 2011


I have two adult children. We lived in Europe for more than ten years. My eldest is near Obama's age. When I took her to Europe as a small child, she had to have a passport. To get the U.S. Passport, birth certificat­e and my sworn statement attached to the applicatio­n. These items were checked, before a passport was issued. (that is vetting)

==========­==========­==========­=======

I can assure you that while you may have obtained separate passports for your children, it was legal and the practice up until the 1990s (when parental child abductions became commonplac­e) for children to travel under a parent's passport.  Mine did, and we both lived and traveled abroad in the years we're talking about.  And as you can see in the official applicatio­n forms at that time, there was a section printed on it to allow for it.

With regard to Obama's situation, the possibilit­y that he traveled under his mother's passport was raised because she entered his name on the form to renew her passport in 1968.  

There is no vetting system in place.  Getting a security clearance, being a citizen, isn't synonymous with "natural born" as required by the Constituti­on.  

As far as Schwarzene­gger goes, see here.  

We're in times where a president, the Congress, a governor, whomever is baIIsy enough to exceed the limits of his or their power, refuses to abide by the rule of law, does so and gets away with it.
