“If you are not on the Obama train, they will come and get you....”

The Federal Election Commission has joined Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee in asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a Montgomery County attorney seeking Obama's ouster from the November ballot.
Philip Berg, who claims the Illinois senator was born in Kenya and can't run for president because he isn't a natural-born U.S. citizen, has no standing to make the claim, according to the FEC.
The motion, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, echoes one filed last month by Obama and the DNC that states Berg hasn't demonstrated how he personally would suffer even if his ''ridiculous and patently false'' claims were true.

he has VOLUNTARILY AGREED to drop his suit if they just SHOW A VALID BIRTH CERTIFICATE
Why go through all this bother???????????????
Heck Obama is even in Hawaii right now- he can go pick one up!
The election’s commission?
Have they seen his birth certificate?
No?
Then they need to butt out.
As Bill O’Reilly said today on Fox and Friends.....
“If you are not on the Obama train, they will come and get you....”
So then rather than fight on the merits of Berg’s allegations, they prefer to fight on technical “standing” “no harm/no foul” strategy?
What does that tell you, folks?
U.S.Constitution be damned.

Not that I agree at all with the FEC, but standing is quite an important element of a lawsuit, according to the Rules of Civil Procedure.
“Berg hasn’t demonstrated how he personally would suffer”
We will all suffer.
That tells me the FEC would be humiliated if it was found out they had allowed a candidate to get this far who wasn’t vetted properly (i.e. in relationship to citizenship.)
Bingo! Every voter will suffer including this party, Berg.
“If you are not on the Obama train, they will come and get you....”
There are a few reasons why I can imagine Obama wouldn't:
1. Original name was Saddam.
2. Hawaii birth certificates back then had a religion and Islam is checked.
3. Kenya is not a Hawaii county.
4. A little rope-a-dope to keep the Republicans focused on this issue only to release a birth certificate right before the election.
SCOTUS, here we come........
Aren’t these people supposed to look out for us and make sure elections are legit?
What standing does the FEC have to intervene? I thought they are supposed to be neutral insofar as partisan politics is concerned and rule on whether a candidate follwed the rules in campagin finance.
Aha!
According to Andy Martin in his news conference yesterday....0bama actually had a different father (who to believe?)
