A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit--just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver--for the health of the Democratic Party.
"I filed this action at this time," Berg stated, "to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.".
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator's background, and in today's lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls "dual loyalties" due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.
Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator's use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of "multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries" remains on the table.
In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, "apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight." As Sen. Obama's own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham--Obama's mother--gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama's birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals--Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple "registry of birth" records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.
Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama's mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a "natural born" citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed "natural born," that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama's registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name "Barry Soetoro" and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.
The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama's half-sister.
"Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama's lies and obfuscations," Berg stated. "If the DNC officers ... had performed one ounce of due diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws."
"It is unfair to the country," he continued, "for candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability to serve if elected."
I tried to sign up at DU and I started posting responses but one day I must have given myself away and I was cancelled.
He’ll slip out of it .
NO FRIGGING WAY!?!?!?!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
I LOVE it when they starting eating each other...I say, throw some more Chum in the water and let the frenzy begin.
Now...we all wake up tomorrow morning and say - “what can I do today to help the Dems wreck themselves?”
It’s hard to believe his team of pro handlers didn’t think about all of this way ahead of time.
Millions of microwaves will be humming during the big DimocRat Convention.
At the same time, I can't imagine watching days of whining Liberals complaining about being Americans and the unfairness of it all.
Had a lib at work today ask me what I'll be doing as President Obama is sworn into office. After I laughed a bit, I told him I, like the rest of my Conservative friends, will be hard at work so we can support the failed Socialist Policies the Rats will impose on America.
“Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Obamanation phrase book and Koran; one hundred dollars in Kenyan currency; one hundred dollars in Indonesian currency; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good week in Denver with all that stuff!”
“Oh boy! Is this fun!”

The true story of how Obama's people conspired with members of the Indonesian government to deceive the American people.
** Bribery, Corruption, Deceit and Treason **
From corrupt Congressmen and State Department employees to crazed American NFL players, all who were willing to do anything to see Obama elected.

I have a thrill going up my leg :)
Excellent. This needs to be settled once and for all.
Yes she will FRiend and Thank You very much for posting :) Today will be remembered as the day everything took a sharp turn right. And isn’t there a big announcement this weekend? I can’t tell bc the Dem candidate talks about Paris and Britney more than People Magazine. I watched the ad tonight and their names aren’t even mentioned and this big-eared, emasculated girlyman is whining like my 4yo twins put together! What the hell happened to the “Change” and “Hope” Barry?
Well, Mr. ThinSkin Soetoro is going to be whining again quite loudly since McCain took the gloves off with the Housing/Rezko(McCain page)and Bill Ayers/Pentagon Ads(WABC Radio-Dallas).
Then I log on and read that a Philly Dem. Lawyer who supports Hillary filed a lawsuit challenging Barack’s eligibility for POTUS based upon his citizenship!
Oh Dear Lord, you really do exist! I knew my Messiah was the Real One and never thought of giving him up for Barry Hussein-THE BIG LIB TRAITOR.
Slowly the trickle of info about bad associations everywhere and the coordinated attack by McCain/Clinton has arrived right when Obama is making his VP choice.
The Lamestream will be slow but Rush and Sean will lead the pack and get it out there. If the aforementioned Drive-by DNC water carriers do as I predict, it will be at their peril since they are nominating him with doubt in the back of their minds.
If the Lib Media continues to cover up and CNN and MSLSD are first talking about(and trying to debunk)this in 30 days, the Dems are left with no options.
If they ditch him at ANY TIME and pick Hillary the AA voters are pissed and stay home.
It’s WIN-WIN in my opinion for Johnny Mac and I think he learned a thing or two since he lost the Primary in 2000. This is a horse race and the “Old Patriot” is going to kick “The One”’s scrawny lil ass back to his Muslim country to live with his brother in the shack.
100-1 that there are more of these lawsuits to come in different States. The later...the better!
He won’t know what the hell hit him and by the time that big wuss responds, Obama-Soetoro is going to be a household name.
I close with questions that leave me truly perplexed since one can never underestimate the Hubris of a Lefty but has to assume they actually do have a brain. Perhaps I am still naive but...
Does this Indonesian fellow have an American Birth Certificate or Not???
-If so, why would he have released a doctored one to the public via the Daily Kooks and then pull it???
Did Obama and the Media REALLY think they could cover this up forever?????
-REALLY???? No, I mean it....REALLY?!?!?!?
A rose is a rose is a rose.
A goon is a goon is a goon.
A Shrillery robot is a robot is a robot.
1st time he gets the same questions as his opponent and he comes across as naive, whiny, illiterate, anti American, and having a frightening disregard for the sanctity of life.
You too? There’s alot of that going around lately. :~)
