INTERNATIONAL NEWS AGENCY MAY SOON BE FOCUS OF ELIGIBILITY CRISIS
(Oct. 25, 2009) — Eleven days ago The Post & Email published its story about the East African Standard report in 2004 naming Obama “Kenyan-born” — AP declares Obama “Kenyan-Born”! —; while this story had been reported elsewhere on the net in the previous 12 hours or so, The Post & Email was one of the first to attribute it to the Associated Press, on the basis of the “AP” logo attached to the report by that paper. The story took off and ended up being discussed on the Imus Show. As the writing of this report, more than 27,000 individuals have viewed our coverage, making the single most read article of our site, all-time, and each day.
Since the report was published, no credible denials of it have been published anywhere.
For this reason it remains convincing, if but hearsay evidence, that the Obama Campaign was painting a different picture of their candidate during the last 5 years.

Is this a subsidiary of the African Press International?
I am trying to remember if there has been an issue like this with another president that just would not go away, that the president just had to keep paying lawyers to defend but still has not died, even a year or more later?
Perhaps something Bill Clinton might have done.....
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
Good grief - at this rate, we’ll have a ruling by the time Bambi has been thrown in a nursing home by his daughters that he was ineligible to be POTUS. Then he’ll be too demented to say, “Oops, my bad! Sorry for wrecking America.”
Not that he would ever apologize...
It’s true that Taitz has requested the court for discovery of AP - the US Associated Press based in New York City.
Ping.

Well, maybe at that point in future we can have the first public execution on C-SPAN.
While they’re at it they should investigate why the Honolulu advertizer recently changed a 4 year old story that said he was born in Indonesia.

1984. Wow.
Tagline to tagline bump.
First thought that crossed my mind! LOL!
Obumpa
A story from an English paper, about a story from an African paper, that has the letters “AP” on it.
I’m convinced!!!! It must be true!!! Chief wala wala ding dong said the documents will be released in 24 hours!!!!
Federal Court requested to investigate AP Story (Obama Kenyan Born)

I still can’t figure out why Orly doesn’t go after the British Father thing. That is the most relevant point. Obama is just hiding his Birth Docs to make it LOOK like he has something to hide I think! The obvious thing is the important one, his Dad is British, and Obama has the call of British Citizenship on him and his descendants!
Drives me nutz.
Oh stop quoting Sammy!
Yeah Clinton had a slew of shady stuff (Whitewater, Rose Law Firm, Tyson Foods drug-running, Vince Foster, etc.) that seemed to nag him for years. Then the Lewinsky scandal came about and all the rest seemed to disappear.
Of course, we know that The Slick One, even though impeached was able to complete his second term, so any attempts to remove The Kenyan is a longshot. But, we can't give up! Fight on, Birthers!
So Dr. Taitz, Esq. is yet again asking for discovery pre-MTD? If the Judge sets a hearing to hear arguments on whether this discovery should go forward, would he postpone the decision on the MTD and move back all the dates, including the trial date?
“Kenyan-born” may not have been in the original AP story afterall. I don’t have access to lexis/nexus but as I read through the comments on the other sites, it seems there is fair case to be made that the paragraph including the “Kenyan-born” pronouncement was a later addition.
Happy to be corrected on this.
Yes, that’s the story as it appeared after having been picked up from AP and relayed by the Standard. The comments on other sites are arguing that original story as placed on the newswire by AP lacked that opening paragraph. They are aguing that AP is not the source of “Kenyan-born” and that therefore the designation means less.
They've retrieved the original from LexisNexis and printed at their site. There's no reference in the original AP article to Barack Obama's being "Kenyan-born."
Any attorney with an ounce of common sense, or honesty, would have checked LexisNexis before filing this nonsense with the Court.
