That's what the Berg lawsuit is looking for — the evidence.
Obama is spending tens of thousands of dollars on lawyer bills — for what?
Don't get me wrong. I don't think Obama will be denied the White House because of the Berg lawsuit. But something about his hostile response to a very simple request just doesn't compute.
I have never seen anyone show that Obama gives a damn about this or is spending big bucks.
There is evidence....
Honolulu Advertiser, Nov. 1, 2008 (””This has gotten ridiculous,” state health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said yesterday. “There are plenty of other, important things to focus on, like the economy, taxes, energy.” So, in what likely will be a vain attempt to halt the inquiries, Fukino yesterday issued a statement saying that she and the registrar of vital statistics personally inspected Obama’s birth certificate and found it to be valid. Will this be enough to quiet the doubters? “I hope so,” Fukino said. “We need to get some work done.” Fukino issued her statement to try to stomp out persistent rumors that Obama was not born in Honolulu — and is therefore not a U.S. citizen and thus ineligible to run for president.)
All this time, I thought and assumed that the U.S. Constitution clearly said that the burden of proof was on the president-elect to prove that he was eligible to be President of the United States.
1. But, to my surprise, when it comes to this Obama eligibility mess, the courts now say that the burden of proof is no longer the president-elect's responsibility.
2. Instead,the courts now say that the burden of proof lies with the American people to try to prove that Obama is or is not eligible to be President of the United States.
Again, silly me.
