QUEENSBURY — A local man’s challenge of President-elect Barack Obama’s citizenship has been garnering national attention, if not credibility.
Robert Schulz of Queensbury is the founder and chairman of We The People, a group dedicated to upholding strict adherence to the state and U.S. constitutions.
He says there’s compelling evidence that Obama was born in Kenya, not on U.S. soil, which he contends would make him ineligible to become president. On Thursday, Schulz mailed letters to all members of the Electoral College, asking them to delay the Dec. 15 official balloting until the citizenship questions are cleared up.
"We really like this guy," he said of Obama, "but we like the Constitution a bit more. For someone who’s dedicated the past 30 years trying to uphold the Constitution, how could I let this go by and maintain any kind of credibility? It’s up to Mr. Obama to set the facts straight and he refuses to do so."
Facts seem to line up against Schulz’s argument. Hawaii Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino and the state’s registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have said they checked health department records and determined there is no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.
In addition, the nonpartisan Web site www.factcheck.org examined the original document and said it does have a raised seal and the usual evidence of a genuine document. The site also reproduced an announcement of Obama’s birth, including his parents’ address in Honolulu, that was published in the "Honolulu Advertiser" on Aug. 13, 1961.
None of that fazes Schulz, who placed two full-page ads in The Chicago Tribune and on Monday held a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Listen troll. people travel illegally. Pakistan was not a vacation spot for Americans in 1981. There was a hijacking in March of 81. A travel ban was issued. Popes and film makers aren’t 20 year old students.
You compared Obama travelling to Pakistan on par with the Pope. Now he's on par with the "Marco Polo Foundation". He was a 20 yr old kid. With questionable associations. At least you aren't like other Obamabots that try to claim he was never in Pakistan.
Then Ass-ociated Press lets see the quote? We don't see the quotes because these two never said what you say Ass. Press. Paul Post you ass.
Paul Post, the author f this piece of trash has lied to you. Hawaii never said where Obama was born.
After 9/11 a lot of people didn't fly.Your premise is wrong.
Airlines are still struggling long after impact of 9/11
Which doesn't change Obama refusing to release a valid Birth Certificate and hiding his college records. What's he hiding?
Obamabot, look at the title of this thread.
Get a clue and go back to Kos or DU or your fake astroturf coach and tell them we ain't buying it.
What useless POS! When is that old bag gonna keel over? I’d like to take that bib around her neck and put over her face.
Do you have a source for that story? All I could find in Google was that two State Department employees were fired.
I went to Pakistan in 1982 on a US passport, without any restrictions on entering or leaving Pakistan. There was a state department warning in effect for US travelers, saying that there was danger in the country and they could not guarantee airport security. That is it.
You are repeating a story made up by someone to support this idea that BO wasn’t a citizen. There are no facts to back it up, because it isn’t true. You can search the internet and find this claim made hundreds of times. However, I guarantee you that you cannot find any objective evidence to support the claim.
