DS of the Week - David Gregory

I made the mistake of watching Meet the Press this week.  The show's host is David Gregory, an inferior replacement for the late Tim Russert.  I always respected Russert because I knew he was a liberal, but took great effort to be fair minded and usually was.  Gregory is also a liberal, but each week he says something stupid that prove his liberal colors.  This week he mentioned that Obama had released his birth certificate.  He asked David Axelrod if this was all about racism.  What?

The U.S. Constitution mandates that a president must be a "natural citizen" to be eligible to serve.  From Article 2, Section 1:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.


Obama brought the controversy on himself by not answering the questions immediately.  Since he did not, the question of his citizenship has followed him.  When Gregory asked if it was all about racism, he tipped his hand yet again.  He is a big liberal who cannot miss the chance to call conservatives racists, even though calling into question Obama's citizenship was justified.  To libs like Gregory, anyone who opposes Obama on any grounds does so because he is black.  Shame on you David Gregory.  You are the DS of the week.

Note: When he released his long form birth certificate, Obama proved that he did not meet the constitutional qualification to be president.  The Constitution clearly states "natural born citizen", which has a definition. 

Natural-born American citizens are those born of American citizen parents, within or without the American Republic, provided in the latter case that one of the parents had resided in the United States prior to the birth of the child.
Obama's father was not an American citizen, so by the strict interpretation of the Constitution, Obama is not eligible to be president.  Since the writing of the constitution, the language has been expanded to include those who did not have to do anything special to achieve citizenship,  I suspect Obama did not and he obviously bases his claim of eligibility on this.  Either way, he is president now and to remove him would do more harm to the nation than letting him finish the term.

But still, the question is a valid one and not based in racism.
