With a scheduled hearing date looming Tuesday, Lucas Smith, the man who tried to sell an alleged Barack Obama Kenyan birth certificate on eBay, has filed court papers in a high-profile eligibility case insisting – under threat of perjury – that the Obama birth certificate in his possession is the genuine article.
Smith filed his affidavit through California attorney Orly Taitz, who has spearheaded several lawsuits challenging Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve as president, as part of a case that includes as plaintiff former presidential candidate Alan Keyes.
Taitz posted on her blog Smith's declaration, which claims he obtained the alleged birth certificate from Coast General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, and insists it's real.
"The true and correct photocopy of the birth certificate obtained is attached to this affidavit as Exhibit A," the declaration reads. "I declare, certify, verify, state and affirm under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing statements of fact and descriptions of circumstances and events are true and correct."
Smith's affidavit, which includes a copy of the certificate, has been filed with Judge David Carter of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Carter is scheduled to preside over a hearing on the case on Sept. 8.
Taitz told WND she believes the swiftly approaching court date prompted Smith into action:
"He has been in touch with me for quite a while, and he emailed me the document with his signature," Taitz said. "I think he was trying to figure out the most expedient way to bring his message public, and maybe he felt that because I have a hearing coming, that would be the most expedient way."
Taitz hopes the court will order expedited discovery, a ruling that would open

World Nut Daily needs to drop this foolishness. Think about it, there is a reason Cheney and Palin, who by the way can’t stand Obama, are not boarding this crazy train. They both know they’d lose all credibility and be lumped with fools who also believe Bush bombed the towers. Next I expect World Nut Daily and that crazy Taitz broad to charge Cheney, Bush, McCain and Palin as co-conspirators for not backing their birther lunacy.
Suicide?
This has become my view of the Obama Birth Certificate issue. It weakens him. It is one of many fronts - to borrow a Saul Alinksy rules for radicals strategy - to attack him and the democrats from. It shows them to be extremly dishonest, manipulative, arrogant and out of touch with the American people.
These people could all be accomplices to the greatest crime in our nations history. Shame be upon all their heads.
God forbid.....that would leave us with Pelosi.
Your Haiku is suspect, but your facts are not...
According to Orly Taitz, Biden would not become President. Instead, there would be a special election.
You wrote-
“I, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., do solemnly swear....”
Biden went to the barber shop during the August recess and his local barber of 62 years told him that he had headlice again after 44 years.
Aghast, Biden exclaimed “It can’t be so?”
“Afraid ‘tis.”
“How do you know?”
Smiling, the barber held up a minature croquet mallet and two little balls.
Hillary would NEVER allow it.
I disagree it weakens his detractors by allowing them to be disregarded as a fringe element aligned with fools who claim Bush took down the towers. Think about it--there is a reason Bush I and II, Rove, Cheney, Palin, Ken Lay, Kissinger and all of the right wing lawyers who argued Bush v Gore haven't joined this fight. It has no merit. Bush, a REPUBLICAN presided over the best intelligence agency on the planet prior to Obama's election and you seriously believe he wouldn't have provided proof of Obama's ineligibility prior to his election? Palin basically called the man a terrorist but she'd shy away from legitimate eligibility questions during a presidential campaign? Either she and McCain are part of the conspiracy or as I believe there is no legitimacy to the claims of the fools who also believe Bush bombed the towers. Just my 2 cents.
I totally agree. Death by 1000 cuts is fine with me. Render this commie a-hole so impotent that even Michelle O will laugh at his total emasculation.
Orly Tatiz is wrong. See Article II, Section 1 as well as the 20th and 25th Amendments to the Constitution as well as the Presidential Succession Act of 1947.
Biden is eligible to be president, even if Obama were found not to be.
“I think our best hope is to get the House back under Republican control in 2010”
Sounds like a plan, but so far the Republicans have done nothing but sell us out.....

.........”Obama’s top terrorism and intelligence adviser, John O. Brennan, heads a firm that was cited in March [2008] for breaching sensitive files in the State Department’s passport office, according to a State Department Inspector General’s report released this past July. The security breach, first reported by the Washington Times and later confirmed by State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, involved a contract employee of Brennan’s firm, The Analysis Corp., which has earned millions of dollars providing intelligence-related consulting services to federal agencies and private companies. During a State Department briefing on March 21, 2008, McCormack confirmed that the contractor had accessed the passport files of presidential candidates Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and John McCain, and that the inspector general had launched an investigation. Sources who tracked the investigation tell Newsmax that the main target of the breach was the Obama passport file, and that the contractor accessed the file in order to “cauterize” the records of potentially embarrassing information. In this video of Obama’s reaction to the break in...he says twice that his reason for being concerned about the matter is not that he is concerned about what the records may reveal about himself...but rather etc. One denial is ok. Two denials in short order is of a piece with the other anomolies in his record. Especially since it seems Obama’s people instigated the break in.
“It’s a document he got by bribing someone. I’m not sure a judge will consider that as a piece of ‘evidence.’”
Why not? Judges issue search warrants based upon information from paid informants all the time. I can’t see that a bribed foreign official is any less credible than a local paid informant that is most likely a convicted felon.
Did this guy really travel to Africa? The court can verify that easily. And if he did they will sell you a beautiful document of anything you ask for. Just ask any one of the idiots who sent money to one of those African email scams. They will send you beautful documents, certificates, cashiers checks...whatever. All phony. I am hignly dubious of all of these birth certificates. Obama may well be a phony, but so are all these scammers and poor Orly, bless her heart, is probably the worst mail order lawyer in history.
Let’s all post in Haiku from now on until Obama produces the birth certificate! Haiku birthers!
That’s pretty good. I think you should start an Obama haiku thread.
