Flight surgeon threatens to refuse deployment over Obama birth certificate flap

WASHINGTON — An Army flight surgeon could face reprimand or dismissal from the service after stating in an online video that he’ll refuse deployment to Afghanistan because of concerns he has about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, chief of primary care for the Pentagon’s health clinic, released a statement through the American Patriot Foundation saying his decision is based on “pursuit of the truth about the president’s eligibility under the constitution to hold office.” Army officials said Lakin has not yet violated any direct orders, but his statements have been brought to commanders’ attention for review.

Lakin, an 18-year soldier, last served overseas in 2005 during a tour with the 3rd Squadron, 4th Cavalry Squadron, 25th Infantry Division in Afghanistan……. Questions surrounding Obama’s birth certificate surfaced during the 2008 election, but were largely put to rest after Hawaii officials confirmed his American citizenship and the campaign released a copy of the document.

But over the last two years fringe groups have maintained public campaigns and court challenges in an attempt to prove Obama’s ineligibility to hold the presidency. Last summer, a Georgia court dismissed such arguments in a similar case by an Army major (Army Maj. Stefan Cook), refusing deployment...

Snip to Mideast edition, Thursday, July 30, 2009

Soon after Cook filed his lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of his deployment, the Army ruled that since he volunteered to go to Afghanistan, he was within his rights to change his mind. No lawsuit was needed. In fact, said Lt. Col. Maria Quon, a spokeswoman for Army Human Resources Command, “he just had to call or e-mail.”

On July 14, the commanding general of Special Operations Command Central formally revoked Cook’s orders. Two days later, a Georgia court dismissed the case.

CENTCOM spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Bill Speaks said, calling Cook’s claims “a bizarre conspiracy theory.” “Suffice to say [that revoking the orders] is certainly not an acknowledgement or validation in any way of his claims,” Speaks said.

One fellas victory is another ones challenge. The childish legal dodges and word smithing just encourage lovers of truth, and those that just like a good fight.

The only question is where was oBama born?

If in Kenya as Grandma Sarah said, then was his Mother actually married to her husband (he was still married to another woman). So......is oBama eligible for the Presidency under the Constitution?

I wonder when Obama is going to decide that it might be easier just to make a phone call to Hawaii and release the documents we all have a right to see.

Never, because he would be outing himself that he is ineligible to be squatting in the White House. Along with having the foreign national father that is already known.

Somewhere overseas. The Honolulu Advertiser thought he was born in Indonesia in 2006. *snicker*
