Difference between Natural-Born and Naturalized Citizens

This post was prompted by the fact that I have seen far too many silly comments on blogs that I have read regarding the eligibility issue. Although they naturally vary in the way they express themselves, I just picked the essense of what they were saying.

1) Some say that if Obama was born in Hawaii, to a mother who was an American, then why are we still making so much noise about the issue?

I wonder who among them has seen the birth certificate that shows that Obama was indeed born in Hawaii. Why is it that there are conflicting stories from the Obama camp as to which hospital in Hawaii he as born. He couldn't have been born in two different hospitals. Otherwise, Oprah's description of Obama as "The One" might have to be "The Two"(?)

2) A few have indirectly said that it doesn't matter whether he was naturalized or natural born. What matters is that Barack won the elections and he will restore America to what it originally was, as intended by the Founders.

Ah.. the most civilized reply I can give is .. Huh?

But for the benefit of those who can't understand the difference between naturalized and natural born, here is something that might help.
