I’m with you.

I have asked that before, that Satire be labeled in the title.

This whole D ticket has been semi-satire, and I don’t blame some of our FRiends for not getting it. The line between the two can no longer be discerned.

“Any normal person who met the requirement would simply produce the document in question,” Berg said. “Hiring an army of lawyers to avoid taking this uncomplicated step suggests that Senator Obama is either an abnormal person or one who doesn’t meet the requirement.”

I agree with this. It is simple to produce a birth certificate and wrong to allow fellow citizens to worry that you are not following the law when you are asking for the presidency of this nation.

I agree, nothing seems too funny right now. We are all touchy.

“Berg’s suit is premature,” Lavelle claimed. “The requirement is that a president must be a ‘natural born citizen.’ Mr. Obama is a senator. Senators aren’t required to be ‘natural born citizens.’ If Senator Obama is elected president that would be the time for such a suit.”

That there, ladies and gentlemen, is flat out bull crap.

Article 2 section 1 of the Constitution of the United States reads thus:

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; "

Notice the word "eligible"?
That means BEFORE the election. Period. Hopefully, the judge in the case has read The Constitution a couple of times.

found that very interesting what a lwyer said on the behalf of obama

the timing is wrong, as a senator he does not need to be American born.
The suit should be brought forward when he is president as that is when he has to be American born

very strange why he would say this.

got me more interested in this now

why would Berg wait for him to be preseident as he would never get out of office

my first thoughts when reading it

very strange as to why his lawyer would say that the timing is wrong and that he does not need to be American born as a senator

problem with the timing theory is that it is too late when he becomes president as how would he step down from office when he has only got in and is in charge of the Govt protected by the Dem party

this gets more suspicious to me now

“Lavelle also contended that only persons of sufficient stature would have the proper standing to file such a suit.”

Where is the law that states this?

I don't think there is one.

I do know there's a law that states what would appear to be the opposite:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It's called the Constitution, and that language appears in that document's First Amendment.

so why is no decision to show it by now

surely and it sounds like it by his lawyers comments then we cannot let this man near the white house

the law is the law, surely even any judge no matter how far left they are can see that.

easy thing to do

SHOW IT, SHOW THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE

what if he did get in then do we just make an exception to the constitution because the media love him along with 98$ of blacks and many liberal loons

agreed

there’s far too much stuff going on and a far left radical trying to take over this country

the damage this man can do with his side kicks will be devastating for years and generations to come, so I’m not really in the full party swing have a laugh mood

feel the same way

I am out tomorrow to talk to more people and warn them of the danger of obama , his friends, Pelosi, and Reid.

Taxes .gun rights are the two big ones around here in north Florida but also the homosexual marriage amendment needs the word out so we’ll be out there doing that as well
