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.

I think actually his name was fairly common and therein lies the problem.
The fact that he changed his name to a Muslim name later in life, which would automatically be construed as him accepting the Muslim faith.
I saw it posited earlier that Obama (the father) may have had Zero’s religion listed as Muslim on the original birth certificate since Stanley Ann Dunham wasn’t particularly religious and the Muzzie males feel their religion is automatically passed from father to son.
May or may not be the case, but I’d like to know what the truth is. No more stonewalling, Barack! Cough up the “vault” version!
"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."
I KNEW IT!
Obama spent a week with the Homo Larry Sinclair and William Ayers at a Al Qaeda Jihadists convention at Club Med in Antigua! Funded by the State of Illinois!
Explains the ears and the stammering when off teleprompter.
He is a clown. He is not qualified to be dog catcher in Chicago.
President of the United States (POTUS) - A job for illegal aliens because no Americans will do it. Unreal.
From the beginning I have thought the secret is that Obama is illegitimate and his birth certificate states so. His parents were never legally married, because his father was already married and had a family in Kenya.
When he first made up the fictional account of his life, this would have mattered, now it doesn’t but he has told the lie so long and loud that he would find it embarrassing to admit the truth. No longer embarrassed by the facts, but that he lied.
I heard the person recording the birth became confused.
“The Father is Whole E. Spirit?”
Maybe it states his mother was a muslim. I’d like to see the census. That tells what religion a person claims.
That is pure BS we have a right to know and sealing the records make the whole rat party guilty of hiding the facts from the American people.
I also think when he fictionalized his parent’s marriage he Africanized his name, all in the quest for who he was. He’s really Barry Dunham, born out of wedlock, and abandoned by his father.
I don’t think he looks like either - at all.
You would think that there would be a organized effort to get filings in all states challenging his right to be on the ballet. You know that attornies would take the case.
OK my head is about ready to explode—questions regarding John McCain’s qualifications were ALL OVER because he was born in Panama to two US Citizens, the child of a US Navy Officer stationed in Panama, but yet no reporting on this important Constitutional issue?
Glenn Beck and others are worried about the loss of our 1st and 2nd Amendments and this further attack on the Constitution goes unnoticed?
Obama, you either are or aren’t a “natural born citizen” and if you’re not, YOU’RE NOT ELIGIBLE TO RUN FOR POTUS!!!
And even if he is, if he used an Indonesian passport to travel to Pakistan, that would piss plenty of voters off enough to not vote for him. I haven’t researched it, but I have heard others say that Americans were prohibited from traveling to Pakistan during the time he went there. Is that true?
It's such an open and such case to me. If he has proof that he meets the test then he would have produced it months ago. They've done everything in their power to avoid the situation, including providing an apparently false document.
I am alarmed, very alarmed, that we have reached the point in America that this man can come this close to being President. The fact that even 10 percent of the voters would consider voting for him tells me we have a lot more serious problems than bunches of bad loans to solve if we are to continue as the greatest nation in history.
I can't find the words or phrases to describe how I feel that he is backed so many, even at the highest levels of government.
Ya know, it only takes one person in a position of authority to find out the truth and release it anonymously to all the media outlets and post it to a few websites.
Isn’t there a Republican FBI agent in Hawaii that wants to know the truth? I don’t care if it’s improper or illegal to look into it. He can get the truth out there and get a “Sandy Burglar” punishment of a small fine and temporarily limited security clearances. It’ll potentially save the country.
We need to be posting this on every blog and Newspaper,Radio station and TV station asking questions as to why Obama and the DNC will not Openly and Honestly address this issue with the American voting public.
Yes we can win,Yes we can win,Yes we can win
