The facts behind allegations in Obama ad (Chicago Tribune - FRONT PAGE!)
The Chicago Tribune ^ | 12/3/2008 | Sara Olkon & James Janega

Posted on 12/03/2008 6:54:22 AM PST by Velveeta

An anti-tax activist from upstate New York who is questioning whether President-elect Barack Obama is a "natural born citizen" eligible for the nation's top job said Tuesday that his non-profit group spent "tens of thousands of dollars" to get his message across in ads in the Chicago Tribune this week.

Robert L. Schulz, 69, chairman of We The People Foundation, took out ads Monday and Wednesday to raise questions about whether Obama's Hawaii certificate of live birth is authentic.

The ads echo accusations circulated online by some Obama opponents before the election. Cases challenging Obama's citizenship have been tossed out of local courts in several states, and Hawaiian officials have vouched for the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate, which is locked in a state vault. The Obama campaign likewise has always dismissed the accusations.

Nevertheless, some critics remain dubious.

The C.O.L.B. the Trib is displaying is the one from fightthesmears/kos, notice the redacted number at the top? When people see it they will ask about father’s race being depicted as “African” so that is good.

This is very much like the Kerry Form 180 thing. Except this should actually be even bigger.

It’s generated much discussion on the Tribune site, that’s for sure.

I didn’t check today, but as of last night there were close to 2000 comments to the article.

Agreed. And then they blame everyone who points out the failure to disclose.

I’m curious if you’ve reviewed any of the other cases that are still in contention - mainly Donofrio’s before SCOTUS as well, and Keys’ lawsuit in California? Do you see problems with those cases like the ones in the Berg lawsuit?

One thing I’ve noticed is that when this issue is covered by the MSM they seem to only want to talk about Berg’s case. No mention is ever made of Keys’ lawsuit, or Donofrio’s (the latter of which is before SCOTUS, too - tomorrow I think?).

Anyway, it seems they are picking the least solid of all the cases still open, and when people hear (if) Berg’s case is scuttled, then they will assume the issue over and done with. I wish some of these reporters would look beyond those who they are receiving money from - the ones they are trying to protect themselves in reference to in this article, too.

I got a kick of how they quoted a spokesman for their paper in their own article without naming him - ROFL... What’s one to do when one becomes the news instead of just the medium? I know Obama has most likely threatened them now with his “Truth Squads” and all - or else there are a few die-hard Obamaniacs at the Tribune, too - or both! LOL

{Hope you’re doing well, Velveeta - LR)

All of them have various problems. The only bullet-proof case would be an Obama Elector demanding that a court determine whether he was obligated to vote as pledged and required under state law. Or, whether he was obligated not to vote that way, because the Constitution trumps state law.

With that said, if the Supreme Court wants to take the case and decide it, it will correct the apparent errors and decide the case. The Court has many ways to say yes, and many to say no. We'll probably know by late tomorrow. John / Billybob

I didn’t know about it for years Velveeta, and I make graphics!

There are many programs you can download for screencaps but this is already built in to our computers and you never need to miss getting something you want.

Cropping out the rest of your ‘screen’ is the only drawback.

“The Honolulu Advertiser” has a story but it is even worse on facts than some of the others. You can read it here:

Where oh where have the investigative journalists gone? Or is that an oxymoron?

LOL is that before or after my right arm decides it works better than it actually does? I did archive the article on the long thread. It is interesting to see yet another interpretation of Dr.Fukino’s words.

Awesome info velveeta. Please be aware, via my earlier posting, of the birth certificate and other foundational issues are twisted against the law and We the People:

America, meet your new, soon to be, masters. You've allowed your government and monied interests to transfer many trillions of dollars, to your enemies and _friends_ around the world. This wasn't reciprocal, those dollars, representing your wealth, are now theirs.

You've allowed those same dollars to return and influence your government, institutions, news services and corporations, to increase the outpouring of wealth. Those foreign dollars now own large, often controlling shares of said organizations. What used to be your institutions, now make decisions in the best interests of their new owners, not we the peoples.

The new owners refused to allow USA to use its own oil or keep its own manufacturing, preferring to move these essential and profitable items to their homelands. This was done under hundreds of different disguises and proxies agents.

The outpouring of wealth is so vast that now foreigners subtly fund the President and congressional campaigns and there isn't anything that can be done about it. As a matter of fact there nary a word of honest journalism regarding it; new owners hired new editors and journalists.

Now the US Treasury vault, has been thrown open to protect the financial losses of foreign capital invested in USA. Of course there is plenty of plunder for all of those who've been aiding and abetting the transfer of wealth.

Now, since a large portion of the new owners are Muslims, they will bring Sharia law or any other change, regardless of whether any one of we the people, likes it... Did I mention the new masters expect USA to make illegal immigration, legal and not create a big hassle about it? Essential for ending the dwindling patriotic majority.
