Obama, Where were you born?
Right Side News ^ | 10/22/2008 | Joan Swirsky

Four years ago, when I had just about completed the lengthy legal and financial vetting process required by the U.S. government to place my then-92-year-old-mother in a nursing home, I was asked to produce her birth certificate as “proof” of her citizenship. While she was born in America, had voted in every election for untold decades, and paid her taxes religiously, that wasn’t good enough to qualify my elderly mother –deaf, legally blind, and confined to a wheelchair – to be admitted to the facility I had chosen for her near....

Phillip Berg was interviewed by FOX the other day but says they didn’t give any indication when they would run the interview.

The media is aware of it.

hi hiram,
I never had an ulcer before; but, this election is giving me one! BHO MUST lose! G-d save our country.

As to your question about the O’s birthplace, it stuns me that the media refuses to deal with this question! As well as many, many, many unanswered questions about him.

Jim Lehrer (disgraced PBS, Democrat operative):
"Obama's country of birth, ACORN, Rezko, Odinga, treason in Iraq, Ayers, Wright, are of no interest to us.
Get on your knees before me and our little messiah, look into my eyes, and tell me
how many dozens of Gwen Ifill's book on Obama's 2009 Coronation your family would like to order?"

Will we ever learn the truth?

I still don’t know who or what organization is responsible to determine if a candidate is eligible to hold the office of president. If there a commission or something that makes the certification and if so who does the actual checking?

Good morning Mrs. Roberts...

Last week my doctor informed me my B.P. was up to 177/110 from 125/70 6 months ago. Coincidence? I think not. He increased my dose of Norvasc to 10mg which is more expensive than 5mg so Obama’s already costing me more money.

I think he came from another galaxy like those creatures on Men in Black.

Our kids have to show birth certificates to get into pre-kindergarten and to play Little League sports, yet someone can run for President without having to produce a birth certificate. That is just crazy.

Last night, FOX news had a list of 10 most wanted documents from the candidates. When they got down to Number #1, I was holding my breath that they would say "Obama's Birthcertificate"

But, instead they said something I can not even remember. silly excuse for news this election

Probably, but the excitement and ratings ahead of country media likely wants the constitutional crisis of electing an illegitimate president. It will make good TV for 2 to 4 years.

I am starting to hate all these news shows. If they get away with this stunt, then I will refuse to watch the 24hour coverage. I might go ahead and get rid of my last tv and cable.

What I wonder most about is:

1) Who is responsible for checking credentials. (I have made at least 20 phone calls, and cannot find an answer.) Who is NOT responsible is the Secretary of State, the Governor, the Senate, the DNC or RNC, the FEC, the National Archives (run the electoral college). I don’t even know who else to call.

2) Why do “we” (the people) have to prove he is NOT eligible. Why does Senator Obama not have to prove he IS eligible.

3) Why don’t all presidential and vice presidential candidates, as a matter of course and record, release their documentation proving their eligibility.

4) Why are we forced, by default, to make a decision on the absence of information, rather than an abundance of information.

If there are any constitutianal authorities available, I would appreciate a common sense answer to the things I am wondering about.

Does anyone know if Greta came to any conclusion? If so, where do I find it.

Thanks

You could add to #1 on your list, we the people can’t sue to find out. After the suit by Berg was thrown out for lack of standing it begs the question, just who can demand proof of eligibility? As the court has ruled that citizens can’t guess we are now reduced to the status of “subjects.” This whole thing stinks. At first I thought no way he has to be a citizen as defined by law and constitution but now I really want to know.

Good post and good to see you're still knocking about.

This reiterates a question I've been asking for some time.
I need to produce an original birth certificate in order to get a replacement SS card or a US Passport.
Why doesn't Barack Obama have to do the same in order to run for POTUS?
Has he? Has someone seen it? If so, why aren't they speaking up?

P!$$es me off it does.

Way too many unaddressed issues. This is the most lopsided campaign I can ever remember. Why McCain isn’t hitting these unanswered questions hard is beyond my comprehension. Times running out and I’m very afraid for my kid’s future. God help us all if he gets in.

Indeed. May He help us all.

I haven't given up hope just yet. I'm counting on a huge backlash of sorts and a big bounce for McCain due to The Bradley Effect.

We gotta start planning our next get-together. Haven't seen you guys in an age. It's getting to be Wintertime ya know.
