Why Being a Natural Born Citizen Matters

Being a natural born citizen is crucial because our leader needs to be one of us so that he or she understands what makes Americans uniquely American—how can Obama possibly understand this when he did a lot of his growing up in a foreign land. The formative years are crucial for laying the foundation for what you believe about your country. To compound the issue, he had a mother, father, stepfather, mentor, and grandparents who were socialist/Marxists who didn't care for our system of government and were only using it to transform it into something altogether different.
 
So he was indoctrinated from an early age and never really understood what the root of what American exceptionalism really is. He tends to blame America for every ill that the world suffers from. Just exactly who is Obama leading anyway? It should be no shock to any observer that he was giddy about an apology tour designed to downplay the role of America in the world and to try to shame Americans into submitting to some new World Government. 

It is no surprise either that Obama went to the UN before he attacked Libya but never consulted with the legislative branch which constitutionally has that power. It is easy to see why Obama would want to redistribute the wealth of America to the rest of the world through Cap ‘n Tax and through bail outs of foreign banks when he thinks of himself more as the president of the world than he does of merely an American president. 

Our founding fathers were wise to include the requirement of natural born citizenship for people who wish to hold the office of president. Whether or not Obama was natural born is almost beside the point because of the way in which he was raised, it sort of gives us a glimpse into what the founders were trying to avoid when they put that clause in the constitution. They merely wanted an American who has our best interests at heart to hold the highest office in the land and I tend to agree with them.
