Former Senator Rick Santorum does not deserve to be President and should immediately withdraw from the Republican primary race.
He is either too dumb to serve or too dishonest.
In response to a question about Barack Obama’s eligibility to be President, Santorum said:
“My understanding is that issue was solved. If there’s evidence to the contrary [showing Obama is not eligible], they should bring it forth.”
Perhaps Santorum should indeed look at the mountain of evidence implicating Obama as a usurper and felon.
Santorum also has no understanding of the Constitution and the natural born citizen prerequisite found in Article II, Section I, Clause 5 and the Supreme Court binding precedent of Minor and Happersett (1874), which requires a US citizen of two U.S. citizen parents at the time of birth as eligibility for the presidency.
Obama was never eligible to be President because his father was Kenyan, which made Obama a British subject at birth with dual allegiance.
When that was pointed out to Santorum, he inexplicably responded,
“I don’t think that’s what the Constitution requires, and he (Obama) was born in the country, so it doesn’t matter.”
According to Santorum, Anwar al-Awlaki is eligible to be President because he was born in New Mexico.
Al-Awlaki is the “spiritual leader” of al-Qaida in the Arabian peninsula, whose sermons at the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia were attended by two hijackers who carried out the 9/11 attacks, Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour.
Likewise, Santorum believes that Fort Hood shooter and al-Awlaki disciple Nidal Malik Hasan is eligible to be President because he was born in Virginia.
Santorum doesn’t seem to grasp that the Founding Fathers put the natural born clause into the Constitution for a reason; to prevent those with dual allegiance like Anwar al-Awlaki, Nidal Malik Hasan and Barack Hussein Obama from becoming President.
Furthermore, Santorum appears to lack even the most rudimentary ingredients of common sense.
Rick, is it an accident that every President since the Revolutionary era has been a natural born citizen with the exception of Obama and Chester A. Arthur, who also hid his birth records?
I do not believe that Santorum is an idiot. He is simply following orders from the Republican leadership to lie to the American people.
