If I were the risk manager for the LA TIMES I would have pulled the article too. There is the chance that Obama is what he says he is (yeah, I know...) in which case the paper may be exposing itself to the risk of lawsuit with that particular article.

Risk of a lawsuit?
Obama is what he says he is?

Didn’t Obama admit that his father was a Kenyan and not an American citizen?
Where is the untruth?

“the paper may be exposing itself to the risk of lawsuit with that particular article”

The paper is at NO risk if they just make an editorial call for bHo to just show the VALID birth certificate. The MSM makes calls for politicians and regular citizens to show documents to back up claims of all sorts every day.

Barack Obama would NEVER sue the LA Times for defamation. Truth is an absolute defense to a defamation suit and all of the concealed birth certificate documents would have to be produced in the pre-trial discovery process.

Here is Gov (commerce secretary elect)Bill Richardson saying in Spanish that Obama is an "immigrant." (So he understands understands "immigrant" issues.)The context suggests that by "immigrant" bill richardson means "illegal immigrant"



Here in plain English is the Kenyan Ambassador saying that Obama is born in Kenya.

Law suit?????? Is this what is preventing all the news agencies from doing real investigative journalism? Fear and Intimidation? I thought public figures are fair game for speculative news. They sure don't mind going after republicans like Sarah Palin, Bush and Cheney.

This all smells of Chicago gangsta/mafia corrupt politics. Where is the RICO investigators? This is pure coercion and extortion.
