Retired Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney has supplied an affidavit in support of Army Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin, who faces trial on October 13-15. The retired Air Force three-star is the highest ranking officer yet to lend public support to LTC Lakin. His affidavit acknowledges widespread concerns over the President's Constitutional eligibility and demands the President release his birth records or the court authorize discovery.
McInerneys sworn affidavit was filed in Court-Martial in support of Lakins motions for subpoenas for all of the presidents school records, and for a deposition of the custodian of Obamas birth records in the possession of the State of Hawaii. The Judge has set a hearing in the Court Martial on these motions for this coming Thursday, September 2nd at 11:00 at Ft. Meade, Maryland. All court proceedings are open to the public. The courthouse is located within Ft. Meade at 4432 Llewellyn Avenue, which is on the corner of Llewellyn and Ernie Pyle Road. At the first intersection after the Reece Road gate, you should turn left on to Ernie Pyle Road. The courthouse is approximately 1 mile south of the intersection of Reece Road and Ernie Pyle Road.
LTC Lakin is a physician, and is in his 18th year of service in the Army. He is Board Certified in Family Medicine and Occupational and Environmental Medicine. He has been recognized for his outstanding service as a flight surgeon for year-long tours in Honduras, Bosnia and Afghanistan. He was also awarded the Bronze Star for his service in Afghanistan and recognized in 2005 as one of the Army Medical Departments outstanding flight surgeons. In March of this year, he announced in a video posted on YouTube that he would refuse to obey orders until receiving proof of the Presidents eligibility.

But they do say what those founders, and historians, and statesmen, and Supreme Court Justices tell you they say.
Why do you leftists ignore history and keep trying to obfuscate it with your lies???
Regan did.
they all produced all kinds of documents when asked .. especially prior to the elections. Including military service, college records etc.
Obama above all with his promises of transparency and considering that there has been court cases and almost 6 out of 10 Americans polled have no clue where he was born should step up to the plate instead of dropping 2 million dollars to hide it.
No other president in history has been in doubt as much as Obama. He should produce all his documents for inspection. But he won’t because he is hiding *something* that would embarrass him. The man has no decency, no credibility and no honor.
Lakin deserves a medal for what he is doing. I hope he succeeds.
Just a matter of time. :)

A Good Get for the Birthers (More trouble for the Wee Wee alert)
Anyone happen to know what happened in court today. Also, will the judge's ruling be made public TODAY, or is this something the judge will sit on for a few months and then simply dismiss?
MARYLAND - Army birther refuses deployment, seeks Obama school records
Associated Press
FORT MEADE, Md. An Army doctor charged with disobeying a deployment order because he doubts President Barack Obama's credentials...
What does the IRS say to you when you say I didn’t owe any taxes? Is the onus on the IRS to prove it?
“Anyone happen to know what happened in court today.”
That’s what I’d like to know.
The Obama Administrations taxpayer-funded Islamic defense program has been quite busy this week, filing several discrimination lawsuits on behalf of Muslims in different parts of the country and holding Justice Department meetings to discuss prosecuting anti-Muslim hate speech.
The legal actions come on the same week that the White House and various federal agenciesincluding the Department of Homeland Securityhosted a special workshop to provide members of radical Islamic groups with direct access to U.S. government funding, assistance and resources. Read all about that here.
Now the administration is flexing its legal muscle in its ardent quest to befriend the enemy. A federal civil rights agency known as the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed discrimination lawsuits against companies in Nebraska, California and Colorado for discriminating against Muslims by not accommodating prayer breaks and forbidding a headscarf on the job.
The government sued meatpacking plants in Greeley Colorado and Grand Island Nebraska for religious and racial harassment because dozens of Muslim employees were denied prayer time during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The lawsuit seeks changes to policies and procedures to accommodate Muslim workers, payment for past and future damages and punitive damages.
In a third lawsuit filed this week the EEOC claims that an outdoor apparel store discriminated against a Muslim female job applicant in northern California because she wore a headscarf known as a hijab. The company has a longstanding employee dress code banning any sort of head covering but the government asserts that in this particular case its discriminating on the basis of religion.
Also this week, the Justice Department met with a coalition of Islamic groups that demand the administration criminally prosecute anti-Muslim rhetoric as hate speech. Besides investing more resources to combat discrimination against Muslims, coalition leaders want Attorney General Eric Holder to make a strong public statement condemning hate crimes, harassment and discrimination against Muslims.
You might ask Wesley Snipes. Of course when you are a politician the response is "So."
Judge Weighs Request For Obama School Records (Ltc Lakin hearing today)

Judge Weighs Request For Obama School Records (Ltc Lakin hearing today)
"Perhaps ? other than President Chester Arthur, that there where no suspicions that they were not natural born, besides ? how do you know for a fact that they didn't show their documents ?"
Either there's a documentation requirement or there isn't. What anyone suspected is beside the point.
Why not just acknowledge that the constitution has no such requirement and move on?
It's ridiculous to say there is a document requirement, when the text of Constitution is available to anyone and we can all see that it's just not there.
It's doubly ridiculous to insist that such a requirement exists when no other president has ever had to comply with one. You would have us believe that this requirement just magically popped into being, inside the hidden part of the Constitution, in 2008. Now that's absurd.
The common sense view is that the procedure laid out in the Constitution itself is exactly the process the founders had in mind for enforcing the provision. The electors are selected, they vote, and the Congress certifies. Those entities had the power and authority to enforce the requirements. No magically changing Constitution required.
The only skirting going on here is yours.
"...who ever is running for president of the USA should provide documents to prove that they are eligible to be president of the United States."
I don't object to that idea, but there is no such requirement currently in the law. That's all I'm trying to get through to you.
"So I guess ? you rather have your Obama boy get away with it ?"
He ain't my boy. I think he's a socialist idiot. But you birthers sure are working well for him.
"... ohhh wait, just because some think that President Arthur Chester got away with it means that Obama should get a free pass too ?"
He's not getting away with anything.
"The argument that the other presidents didn't have to provide documents is crazy, where you there when all the other presidents were made candidates for their party ? tell us all knowing, enlightened , magnificent one, where you there ? you don't know squat what happened in the past concerning those " other Presidents "
Why is it crazy? Come on, don't run from it. Show me where any other president had to comply with this rule you imagine.
"The Constitutional requirement that the President must be 35 years old, and a Natural Born Citizen is what it is.... and how else can we prove that they are 35 years old and a natural born citizen unless we take a look at their birth certificate and other documents."
Again with all the speculation. Just skip all this and give the proof. Show us where some previous president had to do it.
"What do you say when you go to the motor vehicle administration and they ask you for documents ? do you tell them that it's not required in the Constitution ? are you going to tell them that you don't need to show them any stinking documents ?"
There are rules requiring document production for a license. Why is this so hard for you to understand?
"Oh yeah ? how do we know where and when you where born unless you have a valid birth certificate ? do you want us to sit here and guess ? that is crazy."
More blah blah. If you were right that a president is required to cough up the documents then you could show us at least one example where any of the previous presidents did so. Speculating that they must have done so sometime just doesn't cut it.
"Stop supporting your Obama boy, he will trow you under the bus like the rest."
I support the facts and reason. You birthers are supporting Obama. He loves you guys.
"Stop playing coy , you know very well that Obama's documents need to be looked at to see whether he is eligible or not, stop this stinking revolving door argument that the liberals play."
One of the games liberals play is where they ignore the law and insert what they wish would happen instead. You're playing their game real well.
