Despite the birthers' best efforts, Americans believe by 77 percent to 11 percent that President Obama was, in fact, born in the U.S., according to a Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll conducted July 27-30. Twelve percent were not sure.
The group of biggest doubters were Republicans who agreed that Obama was U.S.-born by a lesser 42 percent to 28 percent with 30 percent not sure. Independents acknowledged Obama's native birth by 83 percent and Democrats by 93 percent.
Regionally, the part of the country with the most doubts was the South where 47 percent said Obama was native-born while 23 percent said he was not and 30 percent were unsure. Americans in all other regions said Obama was native-born by 87 percent or more.

We know for a fact Obama is not a "natural born citizen" as required by the Constitution. Neither of his parents were citizens. His mother was too young, and had not spent enough years by her 18th birthday in the U.S. and his father was a foreign national. It is common knowledge he was also born in Kenya. His family says it, the hospital records show it and the airline his mother claims to have flown on, to Hawaii, when she was almost due had a "strict" policy of not allowing pregnant women to fly. Just being born in the U.S. does not make you a citizen no matter what you have read in the media. John McCain was born on a army base which, in foreign countries, is considered "sovereign" U.S. territory. Don't be a "sheeple" do your own homework. Forget Left vs. Right it is time to step up and save our country.

I believe that President Obama's policies and ideas are dangerous for the wellbeing of the U.S. Having said that the status of his citizenship is clear. It does not matter whether his mother had resided in U.S. or was a minor. That is only a requirement for being President. As far as he being born in Kenya his mother's citizenship makes him a citizen of the U.S. I think the energy wasted on this issue would be utilized fighting his statist agenda.
