This audio is almost a year old, but maybe relevant today.

Obama has spent, to date, $800,000 in legal fees, to keep a $10 Birth Certificate from the public.

Latest tally is now over $1,000,000.

The newest forgery is disinformation. It’s a bait, and too many on the right have taken it. They want to believe that obama’s presidency is unconstitutional on the “natural born citizen” basis.

Let it go. There is enough about his administration that is unconstitutional on its face that it is unnecessary to perseverate about the location of his birth.

Let it go.

In the Republic there are those that want to carry the white flag and those that want to carry the American flag. You follow whatever flag you want to.

At the rate Michele runs through money (YOUR money) such as a $10,000 purse to wander around in a Russian park - money is not object for this fraud.

Inquiring minds want to know WHY he is hiding and spending so munch to keep his birth certificate away from curious eyes? Hmmmm?

I'll follow the American flag. Somewhere along the line here I took an oath to uphold the Constitution... obama seems to like to play things fast and loose with the law. Because of that, I am not willing to cut him any slack. I want, I demand as a citizen, irrefutable proof of his exact citizenship status and eligibility to be President.

0bama is hiding something. This has gone on far too long for anything else to make sense. Why not just release the damned thing already? McCain did. Something is rotten in the State of Hawaii.

The newest forgery is disinformation.

Excellent observation. Keep telling people, because the Left will do anything (and I really believe that) to get their way. We've already seen one election (Al Franken) outright stolen. 2012 will be a very scary year.

Article II of the US Constitution: “...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.” THAT IS THE LAW!

Supreme Court of the United States; United States v. Wong Kim Ark 1898. Justice Gray writing for the majority: “...The right of citizenship never descends in the legal sense, either by the common law or under the common naturalization acts. It is incident to birth in the country, or it is given personally by statute. The child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle.”

INTERPRITATION OF THE LAW

Once again, notice that Justice Gray DOES NOT SAY “...The child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a NATURAL BORN citizen as the natural born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle.”

The constitution plainly separates the requirements for holding office in the legislative branch (citizen) and the executive branch (natural born citizen). This separation continues with Justice Gray’s words “...child of AN ALIEN ...is as much a citizen as the natural born child..”. Clearly there is a difference between someone born of two citizens and someone born of one or more non-citizens.

These are not my words, my opinions, but rather the words of our laws and the rule of those laws. You can view these words in the constitution at http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Article2

and you can view the supreme court ruling at http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0169_0649_ZO.html

That’s the law. Now you tell me, is it being broken?

So on the YouTube there’s an anonymous person asserting without evidence that Obama is spending tons of money on these lawsuits, none of which has ever made it into court. Wow! Really convincing!

Actually there is documentation at the Federal Election Commission... and other sources (noted)

HOME / CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORTS AND DATA / PRESIDENTIAL REPORTS / 2009 APRIL QUARTERLY / REPORT FOR C00431445 / DISBURSEMENTS BY PAYEE DISBURSEMENTS BY PAYEE

http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2009/Q1/C00431445/B_PAYEE_C00431445.html

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090721110218AAtYVQB

It is indeed true. Check Lawyer Perkins and Coie.

The campaign also compensated Perkins Coie for legal services between Oct. 16, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2008 – to the tune of $378,375.52.

According to Federal Election Commission records, Obama For America paid $688,316.42 to international law firm Perkins Coie between January and March 2009.

Robert Bauer of Perkins Coie – top lawyer for Obama, Obama's presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and Obama's Organizing for America – is the same Washington, D.C., lawyer defending President Obama in lawsuits challenging his eligibility to be president.

Bauer's warning was dated April 3 and delivered via letter to the plaintiff's attorney, John D. Hemenway. It is not the first such warning issued. Lawyers trying to kill a similar California lawsuit filed on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes also said they would seek sanctions against the plaintiff's attorneys in that case unless they left the issue of the president's eligibility alone.

"For the reasons stated in Judge Robertson's ruling, the suit is frivolous and should not be pursued," Bauer's letter warned. "Should you decline to withdraw this frivolous appeal, please be informed that we intend to pursue sanctions, including costs, expenses and attorneys' fees, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 38 and D.C. Circuit Rule 38."

The FEC report also reveals Obama For America has spent nearly $9.5 million in the first three months of this year – of which $6,365 in legal fees paid by Obama For America also went to Oldaker, Biden & Belair, a firm founded by Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.

Here is a partial listing and status update for some of the cases over Obama's eligibility:

* New Jersey attorney Mario Apuzzo has filed a case on behalf of Charles Kerchner and others alleging Congress didn't properly ascertain that Obama is qualified to hold the office of president.

* Philip J. Berg, a Pennsylvania Democrat, demanded that the courts verify Obama's original birth certificate and other documents proving his American citizenship. Berg's latest appeal, requesting an injunction to stop the Electoral College from selecting the 44th president, was denied.

* Leo Donofrio of New Jersey filed a lawsuit claiming Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court but denied a full hearing.

* Cort Wrotnowski filed suit against Connecticut's secretary of state, making a similar argument to Donofrio. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court, but was denied a full hearing.

* Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes headlines a list of people filing a suit in California, in a case handled by the United States Justice Foundation, that asks the secretary of state to refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office. The case is pending, and lawyers are seeking the public's support.

* Chicago attorney Andy Martin sought legal action requiring Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle to release Obama's vital statistics record. The case was dismissed by Hawaii Circuit Court Judge Bert Ayabe.

* Lt. Col. Donald Sullivan sought a temporary restraining order to stop the Electoral College vote in North Carolina until Barack Obama's eligibility could be confirmed, alleging doubt about Obama's citizenship. His case was denied.

* In Ohio, David M. Neal sued to force the secretary of state to request documents from the Federal Elections Commission, the Democratic National Committee, the Ohio Democratic Party and Obama to show the presidential candidate was born in Hawaii. The case was denied.

* In Washington state, Steven Marquis sued the secretary of state seeking a determination on Obama's citizenship. The case was denied.

* In Georgia, Rev. Tom Terry asked the state Supreme Court to authenticate Obama's birth certificate. His request for an injunction against Georgia's secretary of state was denied by Georgia Superior Court Judge Jerry W. Baxter.

* California attorney Orly Taitz has brought a case, Lightfoot vs. Bowen, on behalf of Gail Lightfoot, the vice presidential candidate on the ballot with Ron Paul, four electors and two registered voters. She also has been working on several other cases.

In addition, other cases are raising questions about Obama's eligibility include:

* In Texas, Darrel Hunter vs. Obama later was dismissed.

* In Ohio, Gordon Stamper vs. U.S. later was dismissed.

* In Texas, Brockhausen vs. Andrade.

* In Washington, L. Charles vs. Obama.

* In Hawaii, Keyes vs. Lingle, dismissed. Source(s): http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2009/Q1/C00431445/B_PAYEE_C00431445.html

Circuit Rule 38."

The campaign has another listing for $5,147.76 to "Hopefund Perkins Coie" during the January to March 2009 period. It also compensated Perkins Coie for legal services between Oct. 16, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2008 – to the tune of $378,375.52.

Where's the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the "natural-born American" clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 360,000 others and sign up now!

As WND reported earlier, Bauer sent a letter to plaintiff Gregory Hollister, a retired Air Force colonel, of Hollister v. Soetoro, threatening sanctions if he doesn't withdraw his appeal of the eligibility case that earlier was tossed by a district judge because the issue already had been "twittered."

Bauer also represented Obama and the DNC in Philip Berg's eligibility lawsuit and various other legal challenges. He and the White House have not responded to WND's request for comment.

Perkins Coie serves high-profile clients such as Microsoft, Amazon and Starbucks. In 2006, the firm also represented Salim Ahmed Hamdan, Osama bin Laden's alleged bodyguard and driver.

The FEC allows elected officials to use campaign funds to pay legal fees only if the action/investigations arise as a result of their tenure in office or campaigns, according to Politico.

The FEC report also reveals Obama For America has spent nearly $9.5 million in the first three months of this year – of which $6,365 in legal fees paid by Obama For America also went to Oldaker, Biden & Belair, a firm founded by Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.

I won’t say “I told you so”.

That wasn’t a white flag, it was a “heads-up” that a liberal blogger was trying to make fools of our movement.

There is one way for Barry to show he is a “natural born” citizen. Release his actual birth certificate that shows the citizenship of BOTH of his parents and shows the hospital he was born in. There is nothing that could possibly be in that birth document that would make any conservative feel “foolish” for demanding his release of it.

Conservatives can multitask by going after Obama’s socialist policies and demanding he follow the constitution.
