1) his mother was a natural born citizen - True, but moot. She only needed to be a citizen. What about HIS FATHER?!?!?

2) Jus soli - And…… what about jus sanguinis? Helllooooooo!

3) birthright citizenship - That is for citizenship, not natural born citizenship, amigo. Don’t confuse the two, like Anderson Cooper.

4) Hawaiian birth certificate - Really? Where? Certainly you don’t mean the COLB again! That’s only a receipt indicating that a child was born…. somewhere. You did know that Hawaii used to issue those to out of state/country births, didn’t you? That’s why this damn this is soooo fishy! He needs to release a copy of his long-form birth certificate. Why hasn’t he done that?

5) Honolulu Advertiser - No proposed Manchurian conspiracy here. The paper issues a standard birth announcement whenever it receives data from the State Health Dept. In other words, once Hawaii put something on file accounting for little Barry, WHETHER HE WAS BORN IN HI OR NOT - the newspapers were notified by the state agency. Those damn ads don’t indicate where he was born, only that he WAS born!
