More from Alan Keyes on his Barack Obama citizenship lawsuit
From Essence Magazine, by way of The Western Standard Shotgun blog:
ESSENCE.COM: What exactly do you want to accomplish with this lawsuit?
ALAN KEYES: I had read a little bit about the issues that were being raised about Obama back during the primary season. At first I thought, like a lot of people, Theres nothing to this. Its just a matter of fact. You can establish what the facts are. The Constitution specifies that a citizen who is naturalized, rather than born into the status of being an American citizen, cannot be president. That was done in the beginning because people feared a foreign takeover of the United States government by the process of immigration. Staid as it is, we again are in a situation where a lot of foreign entities have influence or control over U.S. policy.
The reason an issue has been raised about Obama is because of the simple question, which can be answered with a birth certificate that shows he was born in the United States, or born to parents who had the capacity to transmit U.S. citizenship. When the question was asked, he danced around it. If the most important office of the federal government can be occupied by someone who is not qualified under the United States Constitution, that destroys the authority of the Constitution. I think its something that needs to be dealt with in a clear, straightforward way. Eventually the case will get to the Supreme Court, establish the facts, and clear the air. Its really all very simple. [...]
ESSENCE.COM: To a lot of people, your lawsuit looks like a case of sour grapes because you lost. Your response?
KEYES: I think politics is irrelevant to this, actually. I dont see how it is showing fondness for Barack Obama to let him enter into office with a question that could be raised. He should not have to operate under that burden. I think the officials need to clear the air for his sake. From my point of view, it is a bad idea to have a president of the United States enter office with a cloud hanging over his head, where every time he tries to do something, he would end up frittering away time because of that objection. So lets get it over with. Lets resolve it and move forward with a clear an undisturbed mandate for the new president.

Good thing Bruce Springsteen didn’t sing “Born in the USA” while campaigning for BHO.
BTW-Is there anyway we can determine the exact whereabouts of Stanley Ann Dunham on August 4,1961?
I think that might help settle this mystery.

Does anyone know if there has been a funeral yet for Nobama’s grandmother?

If the most important office of the federal government can be occupied by someone who is not qualified under the United States Constitution, that destroys the authority of the Constitution. He dances around EVERY question. It's probably habitual by now. Would you like a cup of coffee Mr. Obabma? Well...uh...uh...er...uh...coffee or tea would do...uh...er...or perhaps a glass of juice...uh...cocoa would do...uh...maybe just a glass of water...uh
Seriously, the next sentence sums it up beautifully. If he had any respect for the authority of the Constitution, he would produce the birth certificate without delay.

Toot must have taken many secrets to the grave when she died the day before the election.
Could BHO’s REAL birth certificate be found at the Coastal Hopspital in Mombassa, Kenya?
I would be interested in examining his father’s genealogical line as well.
There is SOOOOOOOOO much we don’t know about this guy. The LSM was more interested in investigating Bristol Palin then investigating BHO’s background and history.
To: Al B.
Someone like the FBI, CIA, maybe even a Metropolitan Police Dept. know the truth here and then, some higher-ups may know like Bush and others must have heard whispers about it.

What I really don’t understand is why there is no law in place that a person who runs for president must prove they are a natural born citizen. It just boggles my mind!

"Good thing Bruce Springsteen didnt sing Born in the USA while campaigning for BHO."
It's probably no accident that he DIDN'T play it...he was probably told in no uncertain terms, to NOT play that song. That in itself is strange, insofar as that is one of the songs that he is best known for....
"BTW-Is there anyway we can determine the exact whereabouts of Stanley Ann Dunham on August 4,1961?"
Yep...find the real birth certificate for BHO.
There must be other documentation, for instance: If he was born in Kenya, did they require a passport for him to come back to the states? Did he have to get immunizations? How about school registration - wouldn't he need a birth certificate for that?
I think everything about BHO is sealed, except his mouth.

How about an autopsy to make sure she died of natural causes?
