Note that that is not what was said.
First, here's what the author wrote:
Berg has since challenged Obama publicly that if the candidate will simply produce authorized proof of citizenship, he'll drop the suit.
And here is what Berg is actually quoted saying:
"I've been on about 50 radio shows around the country," Berg said, "and on every one I've put out a challenge: Barack Obama, if I'm wrong, just come forth with certified copies of these documents and I'll close down the case."
First note that the author says "...authorized proof of citizenship..." A birth certificate is not necessarily proof of citizenship. Remember, Berg claims that Obama lost whatever US citizenship he had when his mother married Soetoro and they moved to Indonesia where Obama became an Indonesian citizen.
Second not that Berg says "...these documents..." A simple birth certificate is not a "these documents." If Berg were saying he'd drop the suit if Obama simply provided his birth certificate, he would have said "the document."
But he didn't say that because he's not asking just for Obama's birth certificate. The "these documents" he is referring to with regard to dropping the case are:
1. Obama's "vault" version (certified copy of his "original" long version) Birth Certificate; and
2. A certified copy of Obama's Certification of Citizenship;
3. A certified copy of Obama's Oath of Allegiance.
And the reason Berg is demanding these other documents is because he claims that Obama lost his US citizenship and became an Indonesian citizen when his mother married Soetoro and they moved to Indonesia.
Which means, as I have said, and even Berg himself has said, that a Hawaiian birth certificate is meaningless as it does nothing to change Berg's claim of Obama's Indonesian citizenship.
So the notion that Berg will drop this case if Obama produces his birth certificate is simply incorrect and not in keeping with what Berg is quoted as saying above or what he states in his lawsuit.
OK, I think maybe in your roundabout way, you’ve made an interesting case here. I don’t trust Berg so it matters little to me.
Here’s what I’ll do. Polarik is in touch with Berg, his analysis is on the website. We’ll ask Polarik to have Berg clarify this little minor teensy weensy point.
If what you say is correct, then Berg will lose all support from PUMA and us right wingers as well as a pissed off judge, so he would find it a very bumpy road should he be parsing his words on this item.
