More from Alan Keyes on his Barack Obama citizenship lawsuit

November 28th, 2008 · No Comments

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, “There’s nothing to this. It’s 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 it’s 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. It’s 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 don’t 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 let’s get it over with. Let’s 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?

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.

She is being stuffed like Lenin for display in the White House East Room.

We can't even be sure about the date! Obama is the The Nowhere Man.

Not sure but according to the link below, Obama is going to Hawaii next month for a memorial service. Interesting that Linda Lingle is refusing to go to the governor's powwow next week to meet with Obama:

There were some State Department contractors who may have been attempting to determine that very thing when they were caught and fired for snooping in Barry Mohammed's passport and "other records" last March.

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.

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.

I met Dr. Alan Keyes in person a few years ago and have a picture of myself and him. I need to dig that out. He is a courageous man.

VITAL INFORMATION:

Dr. Polarik’s Extensive Research with scientific evidence that the Obama’s birth certificate as shown on Factcheck is a Forgery

High Quality Digital images included.
If you are unsure about the TRUTH, please read this.

If you have not already done so, PLEASE sign these two online-petitions:

Petition on World Net Daily

AND:

Petition from Concerned American Voter

PLEASE pass them on!!

It is not too late to write your Senators, Representatives, and the Supreme Court Justices. This is too important to be silent or uninvolved.

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 didn’t 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?
