Barack Obama’s paternal grandmother has sworn she was present when Barack was born in Kenya. His backers provided a fake certificate of birth, which didn’t fool many people. He was born August 1961 and the certificate was printed on a form revised November 2001. The certificate’s number was also blocked out. A lawyer in PA., Philip Berg, sued Obama and the DNC to get the "proof" that Obama was a natural born U.S. citizen. U.S. District Court Judge R. Barclay Surrick dismissed the suit, saying the lawyer had no standing to challenge Obama’s citizenship. The judge did not explain what this meant. At present, there are eight other states ready to file lawsuit on this. The constitution was not created to have people "thumb their nose" at it, but as a rock solid rule to help our country live long and prosper. There is a lot of housecleaning to be done, but who is going to do it? Unless things change, don’t be surprised if our next president turns out to be "Arnold" or even Hugo Chavez.
You have perfectly summed up the position of The Birthers, but you've not answered my question. Please, allow me. The Constitution of the United States does not specifically state that you are entitled to see the vault copy (whatever that is -- I'm just using Birther terms here) Obama's birth certificate. See ... wasn't that easy?
It is also not the case that you are entitled to see Obama's birth certificate because he is a 'public figure'.
I'm curious as to whether or not you've contacted your state representatives about the rules that govern who has the ability to get on your state's ballot. If it is true that Obama does not meet the qualifications to to POTUS, wouldn't it be a good idea to see that he or any other unqualified candidate never again makes it on the ballot?
Hey, anybody can bring forth a lawsuit, even on thin, circular logic reasoning.
To me it's more of a flip side of BDS. Yeah, Obama may be a Kenyan, but there isn't a court in the land that will address that issue for a thousand good and bad reasons so it's a huge waste of time and resources
These petitioners are not “tin foil hatters”
Berg was one of the first to manipulate this issue, the man is a 9/11 truther, that ALONE gives him ZERO credibility.
But it does say that I am entitled to be governed by someone who is a "natural born citizen" and that right is being denied to me and others.
Repeating the same thing over and over again does not make it true. Get some proof and maybe y'all with gain some traction.
Guess you're not doing a dang thing about that ballot eligibility issue either. So much easier to sit around and made demands that will never have to be met.
