Questions About Barack Obama's status as a "natural born citizen"
Summary of the eRumor: A variety of articles and lawsuits that
question whether Barack Obama is eligible to be President of the United
States based on his citizenship.
The Truth:
Update May 23, 2012: The State of Arizona sent investigators
to Honolulu, Hawaii to verify the birth certificate of Barack
Obama before the Grand Canyon State would allow his name on the
ballot for the November 2012 election. Special assistant to
Hawaii Attorney General David Louie, Joshua Wisch, told the
Associated Press that Hawaii has provided the verification
that Arizona was looking for and "that the matter was resolved."
This according to a
May 23, 2012 article on the Fox News web site.
Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett
said today that, "he received information from Hawaii that
proves President Obama's American birth and satisfies Arizona's
requirements for having the president on the upcoming election
ballot," according to a
May 23, 2012 Fox News article.
Update April 27, 2011: The White House released
what it says is the long-form birth certificate of President
Barack Hussein Obama and said it proves that the president was
born in the state of Hawaii.
Long Form Birth Certificate of Barack Hussein Obama II posted
on White House web site
This development came after a series of television appearances
of Donald Trump who is considering a run for the Oval Office and
has repeatedly questioned the origins of Obama.
During a press conference at the White House the President said
he provided additional information about the site of his birth
and added, "I know that there’s going to be a segment of people
for which, no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put
to rest. But I’m speaking to the vast majority of the American
people, as well as to the press. We do not have time for this
kind of silliness. We’ve got better stuff to do. I’ve got better
stuff to do. We’ve got big problems to solve. And I’m confident
we can solve them, but we’re going to have to focus on them --
not on this"
The White House also released the correspondence between Obama's
lawyers and the Department of Health for the State of Hawaii:

Tim Adam and the World Net Daily
Exclusive
Update June 10, 2010: In a
World Net Daily Exclusive today, Tim Adams, a former
Honolulu senior elections clerk, claimed that Barack Obama was
not born in Hawaii and “that a long-form, hospital-generated
birth certificate for Obama does not even exist in the Aloha
State.” Adams was employed by the State of Hawaii in 2008 as
absentee ballot box manager and his job was to verify voter
eligibility. He told World Net Daily, "There is no birth
certificate.” He added, "It's like an open secret. There isn't
one. Everyone in the government there knows this."
Adams said that during the 2008 campaign there were questions
of Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to run for
President that the elections office was overwhelmed with
requests to verify his birthplace. Adams made some inquiries and
was informed by his boss that there was no record of the birth
for candidate Obama.
During the 2008 Presidential Campaign there were conflicting
reports as to the Honolulu hospital where Obama had been born,
Queen's Medical Center or Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women
and Children. Adams said that his office made inquiries
with both facilities and was told, “We don't have a birth
certificate for him." Adams also said that "they told my
supervisor, either by phone or by e-mail, neither one has a
document that a doctor signed off on saying they were present at
this man's birth."
Case Filed By Dr. Orly Taitz
Update December 21, 2009: Dr. Orly Taitz is an
attorney who filed a lawsuit in Southern California questioning the authenticity of the birth certificate of
President Barack Obama. The lawsuit was filed on the
day Obama was sworn into the office of the President. Dr.
Taitz told TruthOr Fiction.Com that the latest version eRumor
involving Supreme Court Justice Scalia is a fabrication.
Taitz filed a case with the US Supreme Court but was told by
clerks that the case would have to be heard at a lower levels of
our justice system. Dr. Taitz has a blog posted
for those interested in following this case which was originally scheduled
to be heard
in January 2010. There have been numerous
attempts to hack Taitz's blog site and in October 2009, the
Search Engine Google posted a warning about the possibility of
spy-ware infection from the site before directing web-surfers to
the link at their own risk.
Update October 29, 2009: The Associated press reported on October 29, 2009 that U.S.
District Court Judge David O. Carter dismissed the case in Santa
Ana, California. In a written statement, Carter said that
the court cannot "sweep away the votes of over 68 million
Americans with the stroke of a pen, " and "that the U.S.
Constitution does not give the court jurisdiction to decide the
matter." Dr. Taitz is
currently in the process of filing appeals.

The AP Story About Occidental College Transcripts
Release
Update May 5 2009: A new Obama citizenship story story claiming to be from
the Associated Press
saying that a group called "Americans for Freedom of
Information" released copies of Occidental College transcripts
showing that the "Fulbright Foundation" had awarded Barack Obama,
under the name of Barry Soetoro, financial aid to attend
Occidental College. This claims to be the "Smoking Gun" to
the rumor about his natural born citizen status. The eRumor began circulating
in April 2009 and by the end of the month reached critical
mass. There is no such story by the Associated press and
looking at the dateline this appears to be an April Fools joke.
An Occidental College spokesperson told TruthorFiction.com that
President Obama's records are still sealed and no such
transcripts have been released. When asked if the
future President used the Obama or Soetoro name at the college,
the spokesperson said that although he had not seen the sealed
transcripts he had seen a 1981 photo book that was handed out to
students and faculty at the beginning of the college year with
student photos, names and hometown information. The 1981
photo book had "Barack Obama" under the student's photo and
indicated a home state as Hawaii.
There is no "Fulbright Foundation" but there is a Fulbright program
that is sponsored by the US Department of State
and does award scholarship grants to students working towards
higher degrees who already have a Bachelor of Arts degree. The
program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by
late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas and each year
awards approximately 7,500 grants.
The grants are for both American students who want to study abroad
and foreign students who want to study in the US. To be
eligible certain criteria must be met.

eRumor History:
The Obama citizenship
story began circulating during the 2008 presidential
campaign and
attracted a lot of interest, but on October 24, 2008, the judge
in the case dismissed the lawsuit saying that the man who filed
it lack standing and that
any harm from an allegedly ineligible candidate was "too
vague and its effects too attenuated to confer standing on any
and all voters." Attorney Phillip Berg has announced
that he will be appealing the dismissal of
his case to the United States Supreme Court.
The
WorldNetDaily web site has reported that "More than a
half-dozen legal challenges have been filed in federal and state
courts demanding President-elect Barack Obama's decertification
from ballots or seeking to halt elector meetings, claiming he
has failed to prove his U.S. citizenship status."
An online petition has been set up by "Rally Congress",
a non profit group "dedicated to helping people and groups
communicate more effectively with elected officials", they
say that they have collected over 108,000 signatures and
letters. These numbers have grown considerably since the
election.

On November 18, 2008, the America's Independent Party (AIP)
announced that Presidential candidate Alan Keyes
and the party have filed a law suit with the California Superior
court to keep Secretary of the State of CA, Debra Brown, from
certifying the names of the electors to Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger, until proof of Barack Obama's U.S. Citizenship
is verified.
Click
for AIP release.
On November 1, 2008
the Associated Press released a report saying that state
officials in Hawaii "have personally verified that the health
department holds Obama's original birth certificate."
Hawaiian Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino and Alvin
Onaka, who is the registrar of vital statistics both reviewed
the original document.
The
suit had been filed by Philip Berg ,
a Pennsylvania attorney who describe
d
himself as a lifelong Democrat, the former Democratic Chairman
of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, an 8-year member of the
state democratic committee, a former Deputy Attorney General of
Pennsylvania, and a past candidate for both governor of
Pennsylvania and United States Senator.
Berg filed the suit in
federal court on August 21, 2008 claiming that Barack Obama was
not eligible to be president of the United States because he was
not a “natural born” citizen of the United States, which is
required by the Constitution. He asked that the court demand
Obama and the Democratic National Committee to provide
documentation proving he was eligible to be president.. He also
asked for a temporary restraining order asking that Obama’s
campaign be halted.
At issue was whether Barack Obama was ever an American citizen
by birth, even if he is an American citizen whether he was a
“natural born” citizen as the constitution requires for the
president, and whether he ever lost his U.S. citizenship and, if
so, whether he ever got it back.
An Internet video began circulating based on an interview with
Berg. It was titled October Surprise and outlined Bergs
contentions about Obama’s birth.
Most of this is has yet to be proven but in his lawsuit, Berg
alleges:
·That Obama was not
born in Hawaii, as he claims, but was actually born in Kenya,
his father’s homeland.
·
That Obama’s mother was in Kenya in the late stages of her
pregnancy and airlines at the time would not let her fly back to
Hawaii at such an advanced time of pregnancy.
·
That Obama’s grandmother on his father’s side, a half brother,
and a half sister all say Obama was born in Kenya. In October,
2008, Berg announced that he had a recording of the grandmother
talking about the birth and that she was in the birth room when
it took place.
·That Obama was born
on August 4, 1961 but his birth was not registered in Hawaii
until August 8, 1961 and that the registration and a Honolulu
newspaper announcement of the birth were fabricated.
·That there is not
agreement in Obama’s family about what hospital in which he was
allegedly born in Hawaii.
·That according to
Wayne Madison, a journalist with Online Journal, a GOP research
team sent to Mombosa, Kenya, found a certificate registering the
birth of Barack Obama, Jr. at a maternity hospital indicating
his birth to a Kenyan father and a U.S. mother.
·That if he was born
in Kenya, he cannot be a U.S. citizen because the law stated
that his mother would have had to have lived 10-years in the
United States, 5 of which were after the age of 14. Since she
was 18 at the time of Obama’s birth, she did not meet the
residency requirements for passing U.S. citizenship to Obama.
·That when Obama’s
mother married an Indonesian man and took Obama to Indonesia
when he was 6-years old, he would have lost his U.S. citizenship
and become Indonesian. Indonesia at the time did not recognize
dual citizenship.
· That when Obama was
registered to attend school in Indonesia, the registration form
listed him as “Barry Soetoro” (his stepfather’s last name),
listed him as Indonesian, and listed is faith as Islam.
·That according to the
law at the time, Obama’s mother would have lost her U.S.
citizenship by marrying an Indonesian and living in Indonesia.
Four years later she returned to Hawaii and divorced her
Indonesian husband. Berg said that she could have regained her
U.S. citizenship by taking an oath of allegiance to the United
States but that there is no record that she did. Therefore,
Obama would not have been able to regain his own citizenship
until the age of 18 and himself take an oath of allegiance to
the U.S. Berg said there is no record of that ever happening.
Berg concludes that not only may Obama not be eligible to be
president, but that he may be an illegal alien.
·That Obama traveled
to Pakistan at the age of 20 and traveled using an Indonesian
passport. Had he regained his U.S. citizenship, according to
Berg, he would have traveled using a U.S. passport.
·In response to
questions about his birth, Obama posted a birth certificate on
his campaign website, but Berg contends that it is a forgery and
that forensic experts have determined that it is a altered
version of the birth certificate of Obama’s half sister, Maya
Kasandra Soetoro, who was born in Indonesia but whose birth
record was also forged to make it appear that she was born in
Hawaii.
·That when Obama
registered for the Illinois Bar he lied and said “none” when
asked about any former names.
Berg said that Obama’s lawyers were dragging their feet in
providing proof of Obama’s birth and citizenship and that means
“he’s a total fraud, he’s a phony, and that means he should be
arrested, tried, and deported.
An
eRumor got started at the beginning of October 2008, saying that
the judge in the Berg case, had issued an order for Obama to
produce his original birth certificate, but that was false. An
article by Jon Dryer was posted on NewsWithViews.com, which has
since been retracted. In it, Dryer claimed that Judge R. Barclay
Surrick had made a decision in the case and had ordered Obama to
present the court with evidence that he is an American citizen.
The Berg lawsuit was the latest in a series
of challenges about the birth of the Democratic nominee for
president, which he lists as having taken place in Hawaii on
August 4, 1961.
The first was an eRumor that said that Hawaii was not a state
when he was born so therefore he is not a “natural born”
citizen. That one was Fiction! Hawaii was a state in 1961 and it
would not have mattered because prior to that it was a U.S.
Territory, which would have still qualified him as “natural
born.”

Jerome Corsi, the controversial conservative author of the book
The Obama Nation has said in TV interviews that he believes the
birth certificate is phony. He made a trip to Kenya in 2008 and
told WorldNetDaily that he, too, was told that Obama was born in
Kenya but when he tried to gain access to official documents
about Obama’s birth, he was told they had been sealed.
In
the latest chapter of this saga of Berg vs Obama, Philip Berg
has issued a press release that said "Obama & DNC Admit All
Allegations of Federal Court Lawsuit - Obama’s 'Not' Qualified
to be President Obama Should Immediately Withdraw his Candidacy
for President."
According to his website, "Berg stated that he filed Requests

answer or objection had to be served within thirty [30] days. No
response to the Requests for Admissions was served by way of
response or objection."

A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet::
Version #1
Obama Sued in Philadelphia Federal Court on Grounds he is
Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency
by Jeff Schreiber
America's Right.com
A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton
supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern
District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the
Democratic National Committee. The action seeks an injunction preventing
the
senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the
DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is
constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President
of the United States.
Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former
gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic
Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State
Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According
to Berg, he filed the suit--just days before the DNC is to hold its
nominating convention in Denver--for the health of the Democratic Party.
"I filed this action at this time," Berg stated, "to
avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party
raises these issues after
Obama is nominated.".
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding
the Illinois senator's background, and in today's lawsuit maintained
that Sen.
Obama is not a naturalized U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost
his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what
he
calls "dual loyalties" due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and
Indonesia.
Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship,
Berg stated, citing the senator's use of a birth certificate from the
state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document
forensic experts, the issue of "multi-citizenship with responsibilities
owed to and allegiance to other countries" remains on the table.
In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born
in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving
birth,
according to the l awsuit, Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his
father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late
stage of her pregnancy, "apparently a normal restriction to avoid births
during a flight." As Sen. Obama's own paternal grandmother, half-brother
and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann
Dunham--Obama's mother--gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and
subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama's
birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals--Kapiolani
Hospital and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of
birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple "registry of
birth" records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public
records office.
Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg
writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S.
citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen
parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of
age. Sen. Obama's mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because
U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not
be registered as a "natural born" citizen and would therefore be
ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of
the United States Constitution.
Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been
deemed "natural born," that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when
he and his
mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married
Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses
copies of Sen. Obama's registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In
Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was regi stered under the
name "Barry Soetoro" and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.
The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a
forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on
record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent
document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra
Soetoro, Sen. Obama's half-sister.
"Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a
nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama's lies and obfuscations,"
Berg stated. "If the DNC officers ... had performed one ounce of due
diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one
week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their
citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of
regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws."
"It is unfair to the country," he continued, "for
candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any
question of the ability to serve if
elected."
BORN IN THE COAST
PROVINCIAL GENERAL HOSPITAL AT MOMBASSA, KENYA at 7.24 PM on August
4th 1961
Reports quote
information that certified copies of a Kenyan Birth Certificate (BC)
for Obama were sent from Kenya, and have been received by three
separate individuals. And that these documents are certified, with
an embossed seal, and display the name of the hospital where Obama
was born, as well as witness signatures.
Reportedly this BC
reflects information filed Oct. 9 by Philip Berg. See item #18 on
this docket, page 10, the relevant language of which, underlined in
red, is captured here in a screen shot: Barack Hussein Obama II By
Judah Benjamin,
It has been
asserted by a number of sources, including Andy Martin, that Barack
Hussein Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya and not in Hawaii. Philip
Berg?s Latest Motion to the Court is more explicit since it gives an
exact Place of Birth. I must assume that Berg did not simply pluck
the Location out of thin air, Mombasa has more than one Hospital,
though Coast Provincial General was the best in 1961.
British Birth
Certificates have a Standard Format which has been more or less the
same since 1837 and they can only be challenged in a British Court.
Kenyan Law is explicit and can only be challenged in a Kenyan Court.
Indonesian Law is explicit and can only be challenged in an
Indonesian Court. Be clear, if Obama was born in Kenya this is not
simply a matter for the US Courts, or US Law. If he was born in
Kenya, and his parents were Legally Married [which on the
Preponderance of Evidence they were, his father's first "Marriage"
being a Tribal, or Village, Marriage, which was not Legally
Recognized] due to the age of his mother he would NOT have been a US
Citizen. The Immigration and Nationality Act 1952, 8 U.S.C. 1401.
Sec. 301 (g) [Effective November 14, 1986] does not apply, nor does
Title III, Immigration and Nationality Act Section 309. [8 U.S.C.
1409]. Unless he has taken the Oath of Allegiance as a Naturalized
Citizen since he was 18 years old, and if he was born in Mombasa,
Kenya, Barack Hussein Obama II would not be a US Citizen, period.
The issue of whether or not he was Natural Born under Article II of
the Constitution of the United States would cease to matter and he
would need to be Deported as an Illegal Alien. Impeachment as a
Senator would seem not to be necessary since he would never Legally
have been one, but Diane Feinstein and the members of the Senate
Ethics and Rules Committee would be liable to Impeachment. So would
their opposite numbers in the Illinois Senate and the appropriate
officials of the Illinois State Supreme Court and Bar, so far as I
can see. If Senator Barack Hussein Obama II was born in The Coast
Provincial General Hospital at Mombasa in Kenya at 7.24 PM on August
4th 1961, or at any other time, he is not a Natural Born Citizen of
these United States and he never was. Philip J Berg, Esq, is
correct, under the Nationality Act of 1940, as Revised June 1952 and
in accord with United States of America vs Cervantes-Nava 281 F 3d
501 (2002) and Drozd vs INS, 155 F 3d 81, 85-88 (2d Circuit 1998)
Senator Barack Hussein Obama II would not ever have been a Legal US
Citizen at all, unless he was Naturalized. If he was born in The
Coast Provincial General Hospital at Mombasa in Kenya any
Certificate, or Certification of Live Birth, issued for him by the
State of Hawaii is a Fraudulent and Illegal Document. At Birth he
would have been a UK and Colonies Citizen and in accord with the
Kenyan Constitution he would have become a Kenyan Citizen in
December 1963. He would not have been a US Citizen. Alternatively,
his UK and Colonies Birth Certificate issued in Mombasa in August
1961 could be a Fraudulent and Illegal Document. The two BCs would
need to be compared. By this I mean the Original Vault Copy of the
Hawaiian Birth Certificate and not the Amended, Post Adoption, Copy,
Legally available to the Senator, assuming he was, as indicated by
the Preponderance of Evidence, Adopted by Lolo Soetoro. This case
might also need to go through the UK and Kenyan Courts and becomes a
Matter of International Law and Controversy.
Here is some breaking news that the
MSM oddly enough is NOT reporting!

National Committee Chairman, Alan Keyes for President 2008

Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, AIP leaders sue in CA court to
obtain Obama citizenship proof, stop Secretary of State from
certifying Electors
Fenton, MI – November 14, 2008
Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, vice-presidential candidate
Wiley S. Drake, and the Chairman of the American Independent Party,
Markham Robinson, have filed suit in California Superior Court in
Sacramento seeking to bar Secretary of State Debra Bowen from
certifying to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the names of Electors,
and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of
Election, until documentary proof is produced and verified showing
that Senator Obama is a "natural born" citizen of the United States,
and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.
In addition, they have asked that the court issue a peremptory
writ barring Senator Obama's California Electors from signing the
Certificate of Vote until such documentary proof is produced and
verified.
In response to questions about why the suit was being filed,
Ambassador Keyes commented, "I and others are concerned that this
issue be properly investigated and decided before Senator Obama
takes office. Otherwise there will be a serious doubt as to the
legitimacy of his tenure. This doubt would also affect the respect
people have for the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. I
hope the issue can be quickly clarified so that the new President
can take office under no shadow of doubt. This will be good for him
and for the nation."
Lolo Soetoro, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro,baby Maya Soetoro, and 9
year old Barry Soetoro?
This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the
Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the
registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro made by
his step-father, Lolo Soetoro.
Name: Barry Soetoro
Religion: Islam
Nationality: Indonesian
How did this little INDONESIAN Muslim child - Barry Soetoro, (A.K.A.
Barack Obama) get around the issue of nationality to become
President of the United States of America?
In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for
the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has
released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from
Occidental College . The transcript indicates that Obama,
under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign
student from Indonesia while an undergraduate at the school.
The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with
a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court
of California.
The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid
and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright
Foundation Scholarship program.
To qualify for this scholarship, a student must claim foreign
citizenship.
This document provides the smoking gun that many of Obama's
detractors have been seeking - that he is NOT a natural-born citizen
of the United States - necessary to be President of these United
States.
Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya, here we see
that there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the
results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending.
This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in
campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states
for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal
records.
Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still on-going but
that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general,
Eric Holder.
Mr. Holder has refused comment on this matter.
LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS - THE MEDIA WON'T !
HUGE NEWS!
FEDERAL JUDGE Carter sets Trial Date for Obama's Eligibility!!!
The expedited trial has been set for Jan. 26, 2010, just 4 1/2
months from now I and many other concerned veterans and citizens
attended the hearintoday in Federal Court in Santa Ana in the
lawsuit against Barack Obama to determine his eligibility to be
President and Commander in Chief.. About 150 people showed up,
almost all in support of the lawsuit to demand that Obama release
his birth certificate and other records that he has hidden from the
American people.
Judge David Carter refused to hear Obama's request for dismissal
today, instead setting a hearing date for Oct. 5, 2009 since Obama's
attorneys had just filed the motion on Friday. He indicated there
was almost no chance that this case would be dismissed.
Obama is arguing this lawsuit was filed in the wrong court if you
can believe that. I guess Obama would prefer a "kangaroo court"
instead of a Federal court! Assuming Judge Carter denies
Obama's motion for dismissal, he will likely then order expedited
discovery which force Obama to release his birth certificate in a
timely manner (if he has one).
The judge, WHO IS A FORMER U.S. MARINE, repeated several times
that this is A VERY SERIOUS CASE which must be resolved quickly so
that the troops know that their Commander in Chief is eligible to
hold that position and issue lawful orders to our military in this
time of war. He basically said OBAMA MUST PROVE HIS ELIGIBILITY to
the court! He said Americans deserve to know the truth about their
President!
The two U.S. Attorneys representing Barack Obama tried everything
they could to sway the judge that this case was frivolous, but
Carter would have none of it and cut them off several times..
Obama's attorneys left the courtroom after about the 90 minute
hearing looking defeated and nervous.
Great day in America for the U.S. Constitution!!! The truth about
Barack Obama's eligibility will be known fairly soon -
Judge Carter practically guaranteed it!

Congratulations to plaintiffs attorney Dr. Orly Taitz!
She did a great job and won some huge victories today. She was
fearless!
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel
the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group
“Americans for Freedom of Information” has released copies of
President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College.
Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name
Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from
Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was
released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a
suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The
transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and
was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright
Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a
student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to
provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been
seeking.
The news has created a firestorm at the White
House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy
and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in
London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister
Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue.
Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs scoffed at the
report stating that this was obviously another attempt by a
right-wing conservative group to discredit the president and
undermine the administration’s efforts to move the country in a new
direction.
Britain's Daily Mail has also carried the story in
a front-page article titled, “Obama Eligibility Questioned”, leading
some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on
Obama’s first official visit to the U.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from
several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme
Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal
eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio
of New Jersey. This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship
disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio’s case is just
one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s
citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation
has released the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign
spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of
$950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in
12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his
personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is
still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S.
attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on
the matter.

VERY QUIETLY OBAMA'S CITIZENSHIP CASE REACHES THE
SUPREME COURT
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel

US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a

LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS, THE MEDIA WON'T !
Subject: RE: Issue of Passport?
While I've little interest in getting in the
middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul Hollrah over at FSM did so
yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama answering
one simple question: What passport did he use when he was shuttling
between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi?
So how did a young man who arrived in New York in
early June 1981, without the price of a hotel room in his pocket,
suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a
month later?
And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New
York, Jakarta, and Karachi, what passport was he offering when he
passed through Customs and Immigration?
The American people not only deserve to have
answers to these questions, they must have answers. It makes the
debate over Obama's citizenship a rather short and simple one.
Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A: Yes, by his own admission.
Q: What passport did he travel under?
A: There are only three possibilities.
1) He traveled with a U.S. Passport,
2) He traveled with a British passport, or
3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.
Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S.
Passport in 1981?
A: No.. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State
Department's "no travel" list in 1981.
Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he
was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian
passport.
If he were traveling with a British passport that
would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not
in Hawaii as he claims. If he were traveling with an Indonesian
passport that would tend to prove that he relinquished whatever
previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being
adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.
Whatever the truth of the matter, the American
people need to know how he managed to become a "natural born"
American citizen between 1981 and 2008..
Given the destructive nature of his plans for
America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the
disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we
learn the truth of all this, the better.
If you Don't care that Your President is not a
natural born Citizen and in Violation of the Constitution, then
Delete.
"There is no birth certificate [for Barack
Obama]. It's like an open secret. There isn't
one. Everyone in the government there [Hawaii]
knows this."
"It was openly admitted by everyone in the
office that was above me... that there is no
documentation... that Barack Obama was born in
Hawaii."
"I was told, at the time, that there was no long
form birth record, which would have been the
case if President Obama was born in hospital in
Honolulu... there is no such form in Hawaii. He
does have a Certificate of Live Birth which is
given to children of families who were residents
of Hawaii when children are born outside the
state. So I assert that he was born outside of
Hawaii."
Tim Adams,
a former-Senior Elections Clerk for the City
and County of Honolulu Hawaii, has been
releasing mega-bomb-shells, like the ones above,
for a month now... to anyone who will listen...
and yet, the Main Stream Media still refuses to
investigate his allegations.
Why not? If the allegations are true, then
it is entirely possible that Barack Hussein
Obama is INELIGIBLE to be President of
the United States and may have committed the
biggest political crime in American history
right before our very eyes?
It would stand to reason that the media
would investigate allegations of this
magnitude... especially allegations coming from
a man, such as Adams, who was in a position to
credibly make such claims. It would even stand
to reason that the Obama-Media would
investigate this story in an attempt to
discredit it... but no such luck... the
Obama-Media has been not-so-strangely
silent.
Of course, The Western Center for
Journalism has not been silent. We've covered
this story... boldly... without fear... and we
will continue to cover this stories and stories
like it, until the American people have the
truth... the whole truth... and nothing but the
truth when it comes to Barack Hussein Obama.
Of course, Barack Hussein Obama could put
the issue to rest and take the wind right out of
Adams' sails right now by simply releasing his
actual long form birth certificate.
But he won't. In fact he is still actively
refusing to release his actual long form birth
certificate.
He's dug in his heels and his underlings
look down their noses at the American people and
call legitimate questions
“garbage” ... no explanations...
no substantive reasons given.
And
the one pivotal question that those who
attempt to dismiss the controversy cannot answer
is still: If Barack Hussein Obama has nothing to
hide, what’s the problem? The more he resists,
the more you have to wonder.
Meanwhile the liberal press is trying to
drag this story (and Adams) into a dark
alley and bludgeon it to death.
Adams recently told WorldNetDaily
that he's been called
"a Nazi, a skinhead, a racist, and a host of
other epithets," even though his
detractors could not point to anything in his
"writing(s) or
statements that would give credence to their
claims."
And MSNBC's Keith Olbermann even
went so far as to call Adams a
"white supremacist."
Of course Olbermann, as usual, had no facts to
back-up such an accusation... it was nothing
more than an unprovoked attempt to assassinate
the character of a man who is making statements
that run counter to the party-line being
promoted by Barack Hussein Obama.
Here are some of the disturbing facts
surrounding Barack Hussein Obama’s actual long
form birth certificate – not rumors, not wild
theories – just the facts.
FACT #1: Article 2, Section 1, of
the Constitution of the United States states,
"No person except a
natural born citizen of the United States, at
the time of adoption of this Constitution, shall
be eligible to the office of President..."
It's NOT a technicality, or lunacy on the
part of our Founding Fathers. It is a specific
statement within a document that forms the basis
for ALL of our laws and not open to
interpretation (unless the entire
Constitution should be now open to
interpretation).
FACT #2: In order to be a
"natural born citizen,"
you must be born in the United States or, if you
are born abroad, you CAN (if specific
circumstances are met) inherit citizenship
status from your parents. If he was born abroad,
then that's a problem for Barack Hussein Obama
because his father was NOT a citizen of
the United States and his mother had not lived
in the United States the required amount of time
after attaining the age of majority when Obama
was born - meaning SHE COULD NOT pass
citizenship on to Obama.
FACT #3: If Barack Hussein Obama
WAS NOT born in the United States, he IS
NOT a "natural born
citizen" and if that is the case,
Obama is guilty of perpetuating the most massive
fraud in the history of the United States.
FACT #4: Barack Hussein Obama has
actively refused to produce his actual long form
birth certificate to the people who elected him.
Under Hawaiian law, only Obama can legally
release the document but he just won't do it.
Why not?
FACT #5: Instead of producing an
actual long form birth certificate, Team Obama
pulled some sleight-of-hand and produced
another document – a
“Certification of Live Birth” – and
said, in effect,
“Here’s his Birth Certificate! Now shut up.”
And, in light of Adams' allegations, FACT
#5 is of particular importance. To put it in
Adams' own words:
"I was told, at the
time, that there was no long form birth record,
which would have been the case if President
Obama was born in hospital in Honolulu... there
is no such form in Hawaii.
He does have a Certificate of Live Birth which
is given to children of families who were
residents of Hawaii when children are born
outside the state. So I assert that he was born
outside of Hawaii." [Emphasis
Ours]
Adams also said:
"Anyone can get that [Certification of Live
Birth]. They are normally given if you give
birth at home or while traveling overseas. ...
It's quite common for people to come back and
get that."
So why won't the Main Stream Obama-Media
investigate these allegations? Why won't the
Main Stream Media air the facts? Your guess
is as good as ours but don't hold your breathe
waiting for them to stop distorting and start
reporting.
Sign the Petition : 105,144 Letters and Emails Sent So Far
Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution
reads: "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."
There are numerous questions as to Obama's citizen
status raising suspicion and doubt about Obama
constitutional qualification to be president. To
settle these questions Mr. Obama must produce proof
of citizenship!
Documents that must be produced include;
(a) a certified copy of "vault" (original long
version) birth certificate;
(b) certified copies of all reissued and sealed
birth certificates in the names Barack Hussein
Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and
Barry Dunham;
(c) a certified copy Certification of Citizenship;
(d) a certified copy Oath of Allegiance taken upon
age of maturity;
(e) certified copies of admission forms for
Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard
Law School; and
(f) certified copies of any court orders or legal
documents changing his name from Barry Soetoro.
It is reasonable that these documents should be
produced considering that his father is Kenyan, his
adoptive father is Indonesian, and his grandmother
claims to have been present at his birth in Kenya.
If he is a natural born citizen then producing these
documents should not be any problem.
These allegations will not go away until Mr. Obama
produces proof to federal authorities and the
public. If he will not do so voluntarily he must be
compelled by every means available. You, as an
employee of The People, have sworn an oath to
support and defend the Constitution.
We The People are demanding you to make every
effort, both public and private, to resolve this
fundamental Constitutional question before 20
January.
