Obama's Birth Certificate a "serious embarrassment" Source?
All the News that Fits ^ | 10/22/08 | Nancy

Posted on 10/22/2008 2:11:53 PM PDT by pissant

Barack Obama claims “particularly serious embarrassment will result from turning over the requested documentation” in the Berg case and has filed a request for dismissal and a protective order. Berg’s filing asks for copies of his birth certificate, citizenship records, passport and travel records, and other documentation proving citizenship in the U.S. as well as other countries.

First, let’s establish that I am no lawyer so don’t depend on my interpretation of the Berg vs. Obama lawsuit as being accurate. I am depending on the interpretations of others who know much more than I, and assuming they have it right. With that out of the way, let’s proceed.

Philip Berg (a Democrat and former deputy attorney general of the state of Pennsylvania) filed his initial lawsuit against Barack Obama August 21, 2008 in Philadelphia Federal Court, claiming Obama is constitutionally ineligible to be President based on citizenship. The first counter filing was from Obama only, but the DNC has since joined in.

Barack Obama and the DNC failed to respond to Berg’s filing of Sep. 15 within the required 30 days, which means they ADMITTED to all the charges in the filing by default. When they did not respond in any manner to any of the requests for information or documention the judge extended their deadline, and they then filed a motion for DISMISSAL and for a PROTECTIVE ORDER.

Their reasoning for requesting a protective order is that revealing the information (birth certificate, passports, citizenship in other countries) would “cause a defined and serious injury” to Obama and/or the DNC. They say revealing these documents raises a “legitimate privacy concern” and the above mentioned risk that “particularly serious embarrassment will result from turning over the requested documentation.” (emphasis added) Then they claim Berg has no standing to ask for it.

* Is it just me, or does this sound like an admission of guilt? If his birth certificate and citizenship records, including passports and travel documentation, are going to cause “particularly serious embarrassment,” can we assume they do not prove he is a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution for eligibility for the presidency? How else could they be embarrassing? * Obama has already posted a copy of his birth certificate online (deemed by some experts to be a poor forgery), so wouldn’t this have nullified any expectation for privacy?

From the list of 83 charges filed and not rebutted, here are some they admitted to (remember, they technically “admitted” them because they didn’t refute them):

1. Barack Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen 2. Barack Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya 3. Barack Obama traveled to Pakistan with friends in 1981 on an Indonesian passport 4. Barack Obama has asked others to have his birth certificate in Hawaii altered 5. The DNC has knowledge of this and is complicit in hiding it

WHERE IS THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA? With speculation that he was born in Kenya, is still a citizen of Indonesia, traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport, and never re-claimed his American citizenship, does anyone doubt if this were the Republican candidate they would be spending at least as much time investigating it as they did Joe the Plumber’s background? It would be all over the news 24 hours a day! But Obama? They don’t investigate, they don’t report. Where is their journalistic integrity?

Berg now has filed:

A) A motion requesting an immediate order deeming his request for admissions served upon Barack Obama and the DNC on September 15 admitted by default, and

B) A motion requesting an expedited ruling and/or hearing on Berg’s motion deeming the request for admissions served upon Obama and the DNC admitted.

If Judge Surrick grants these motions, Barack Obama is, at least temporarily, ineligible to run for the office of President of the United States OR to be a citizen of the United States.

There are some rumblings from the courthouse that a ruling, one way or the other, may be forthcoming by the end of this week.

If I was a betting man, I would bet all of this isn’t to cover up some foreign birth, but probably that he changed his middle name to Hussein in college, it wasn’t a given name.

Barack Obama claims “particularly serious embarrassment

Maybe his middle name is really Herby and not Hussein.

I have suspected all along that Obama’s father is actually Frank Davis. There is an uncanny physical resemblance and a devout Communist as a father would be embarrassing.

Again there is no legal requirement to do so.
Up until now the “honor” system” has worked.

Sorry I didn't communicate well.

The big talkers are Berg, Martin, and API, who claim they are on the verge of something and then don't produce. I've got no problem with the discussions here or elsewhere - I just wish they amounted to something concrete.

Really?!
If this makes it through the court after he's sworn in, and it's determined that (do nothing) Obama isn't a natural born US Citizen, will Biden be President and Pelosi appointed Vice President?
The courts don't move fast enough to make a ruling before elections.

Forgive my ignorance, but why has this come to a lawsuit? Isn’t it an absolute, written-in-stone requirement of all candidates for president that they prove they’re eligible for the office according to the restrictions set out in the constitution? Somehow, it seems to me this should be a no-brainer, and the documents should have been on file throughout the past year and more.............

I’m glad you are seeing the light. If.... what we are talking about here is true, then this is the biggest case of fraud ever committed on the American People by a politician and in conjunction with the approval of a legitimate political party. No one can imagine it because the lie is so big.

I hope it means jail time for Dean and “O”

Is the above quote from the answer from Obama? Is this now part of the record? Did Obama's lawyers answer with this statement? I know- read first- ask questions later. I will go to the site and read up- then come back and see what others are saying...

Let's see.
Frank Marshall Davis.

Obama Sr.

IMHO, looks more like Obama Sr. than Davis.

I’ve been married twice, and never had to show a birth certificate.

When and where did he claim this? This, as a quote, demands a verifiable citation.
