Obama's eligibility doubted by surging congressional candidate
WND ^ | August 06, 2010 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 08/07/2010 8:12:58 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Just one day after a new poll by CNN included the startling revelation that six of 10 Americans doubt President Obama's birth story, a new report says a surging congressional candidate confirms he has the same doubts – and he'll tell people if they call him.

The comments are from Andrew "Rocky" Raczkowski, who recently won a Michigan GOP primary for Congress over establishment candidate Paul Welday.

He now will challenge freshman Rep. Gary Peters in November.

According to a report in Politico, he is on tape telling a meeting of supporters in Novi, Mich., "You have a president that seems to be, um ... well ... I don't know if he even has been born in the United States, but ... until I see a birth certificate."

Raczkowski doesn't care that his words are on tape, reportedly being circulated by Democrats in an attempt to damage his campaign.

"They don't need an HD recorder – they can call me. I'm very open, they can call me; we can have an open discussion, perhaps even a debate," he told the publication.

You gotta hand it to World Net Daily, they ain’t giving up. I just hope that whatever it is that Bambi is hiding, refusing to let the world see about his past comes to light soon. Before it’s too late

“I just hope that whatever it is that Bambi is hiding, refusing to let the world see about his past comes to light soon. Before it’s too late”

If you google Lt.Col. Terrence Lakin and then watch some of the youtube videos (of him and many, many more very credible people) on the subject, enough evidence HAS already come to light. But the media and powers that be (oops, I forgot that BHO runs those!) refuse to discuss, or do anything about, it.

Maybe we can find a judge somewhere who will rule that we have a constitutional right to see the birth certificate.

IMHO, one’s refusal to prove he or she is eligible makes them ineligible. Simple enough.

The linked WND page has a short Steve King video in which he gives a nice little dig at Obama for the missing certificate.

As usual, King is articulate, amusing, and compelling.

I hope he runs for president.

Unfortunately, Podnuh, that’s a pipe dream.

The numerous people mentioned in that article simply can't be as stupid as they're appearing.
Once again the real issue is whether or not the man is a natural born citizen, a child born of two citizen parents! If his father is who he is then how does that qualify him as a natural born citizen? The man had British citizenship!
All of this BS of his being, or not being, born in Hawaii is nothing more than distraction and deflection from what is really important.

Has anyone ever went down the road that Mubarak Hussein Obama might actually be the deceased brother to the Man we know as the same? Frank Marshall Davis likely was intimate with Stanley Ann Dunham as a teen according to some. Is Obama OLDER than we think he is?

His grandmother VOLUNTEERED at the clerks office for years, for nefarious reasons no doubt. SOMETHING is fishy with this guy’s documentation/history.

Perhaps it is as simple as his teen mom had a black baby by an older black married communist man, more or less with the approval of Obama’s Grandfather, his mother’s dad. Dad Dunham encouraged little boy Obama’s relationship with sex perv Frank Marshall Davis; that much IS known.

Obama is not hiding anything. He is depending upon the continued ignorance of the public (and I count myself as one of the ignorant until the end of 2008) and the willful misdirection (lying) by our legislators, who know the truth, every senator having signed Senate Res. 511, likely because they are legally implicated if the public ever understands what they have done. Obama told us all he was born a British subject (dual citizenship is irrelevant, and recognized only reluctantly by our State Department) and is a “native born citizen of the U.S.” It takes only a little reading of the words of our framers to push aside the propagandists and trust the not-so-obvious truth. Only a natural born citizen can be president. Four Chief Justices of the Supreme Court repeated the definition, along with the author of the 14th Amendment, John Bingham. A natural born citizen is born on our soil of citizen parents. Only an amendment to the Constitution can change that definition, found in the law common to our framers and founders.

It was the intention of the authors of the Constitution that it be a document of principles, not a legal dictionary, and that it must be interpreted in the language familiar to our framers to have meaning. It is a document of principles. Being born on our soil meant your family was invested in our economic growth stability. Beng born of citizen parents, the most important component of natural born or birthright citizenship,is to insure that a child is born into natural primacy of our nation's birthright, freedom of the individual based upon ideas guranteed by our Constitution. It isn't hard to see from whom the Obama obtained his natural allegiance, because he told us about the “Dreams from my Father.” Obama's now obvious allegiance shows that our framers were correct. The principle called natural born citizenship was expressed in the writings of both Aristotle and Cicero.

You know that freedom is in danger when no public pundit who depends upon the FCC or advertisers for his or her survival is willing to discuss the words of Chief Justices John Jay, John Marshall, both founders and framers, or Chief Justices Morrison Waite or Charles Evans Hughes. Glenn Beck and Mark Levin have both done wonderful presentations of Ben Franklin, George Washington, Samuel Adams, James Madison, for all of whom Vattel’s Law of Nations was the most important document when they framed the Declaration and our Constitution. It too is obvious, as you read the framers, that they assiduously avoid the most cited legal reference between 1789 and 1821, Vattel’s Law of Nations. They avoid it because Marshall cites Vattel as the most concise source for the definition of "native or indigene," the French terms for natural born citizen. It is too dangerous for Beck or Levin to discuss honestly, but we still can, for the time being!

Thomas Jefferson named the first law school curriculum in the new nation, still without a Constitution in 1779, "Law of Nature and of Nations" at William and Mary, and Vattel was the text until 1841. Beck and his guests show wonderful historical treatese, but avoid the most important. Amazon as an elegant edition by Liberty Fund. Washington famously failed to return his copy borrowed from the New York Lending Library in 1789 on his first day of office. It was the only book on his desk in New York, according to reporters. But our conservative communicators pretend it doesn't exist. They avoid mentioning our greatest Chief Justice, John Marshall who cited Vattel in The Venus, 12 U.S. 253 at paragraph 289 and repeated the definition of natural born citizen - “born on the soil of citizen parents.”

That can only mean they are afraid. Perhaps some day we will learn. It is true that Levin went through bankruptcy not long ago. He has children in college. Fox's largest stockholder is Whalid Bin Talal, whom Percy Sutton claimed was the financial support for Obama at Harvard. Whatever the reason, we must trust our own intellects. The original sources are wonderful reading, and for those like myself, new to history, reveal how careful and how brilliant our founders were. Believe what our founders said. Don't let others do the interpretation. Otherwise the Constitution cannot help us regain our freedoms. If the words of our framers, justices and chief justices aren't enough, there are the words of the esteemed chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy in April 2008, from his own web site (since scrubbed), agreeing with former judge and HSA Secretary, Michael Chertoff, as they collude to make McCain appear eligible:

“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied.
“That is mine, too,” said Leahy.

This is not easy to follow, but it is time for America to wake up. The executive and the legislature want you to remain ignorant. Clarence Thomas cleverly revealed that the court is evading its responsibility. We must make the Supreme Court protect the Constitution, because our freedom is being traded away without it.

One source which is relatively free of hyperbole, full of historical references, and hosted by the plaintiffs in a thorough case working its way to the Supreme Court is Commander Kerchner and Mario Apuzzo’s http://puzo1.blogspot.com. Commander Kerchner sent registered letters asking Congress in the Summer of 2008, to investigate Obama's eligibility as they had McCain's (five times). Protecting us from an ineligible chief executive is one of Congress's functions. They did not investigate Obama, nor did V.P. Cheney follow Congressional rules and ask for objections. That seems a clear equal protection violation, and is just part of the Kerchner case, which is also on the site.

There are hundreds of scholarly, legal, and historical tracts which explain why our framers, John Jay's note to Washington survives, decided to include natural born citizenship. Art. II Section I is even explained in the National Archives, as I have explained it here (they cite Minor v. Happersett), only adding the clause about the uncertainty about the children of citizens born to military and diplomatic personnel, which has never been decided (but would likely be amended in McCain's favor, just a little too late).

When Obamao travels to Arizona, he could be asked to produce proof of citizenship. I don’t think he will visit there any time soon.

No one in America believes Obama -—

The US Congress is caught in a lie of historic proportion.

The Founding Father’s intent is meaningless today.

If the libs cared one whit about ‘intent’ there would be no discussion concerning the 2nd amendment.
The Constitution is a ‘living document’ doncha know.

No, actually it was a joke (said with a sad look on my face and a sad tone in my voice).
