Raining on Barack's parade

Raining on Barack's parade

Barack Obama's presidential campaign has faced so many false rumors about his family history that it has put his birth certificate on the Internet: he was born in Honolulu, nearly two years after Hawaii became a state, making Obama a U.S. citizen by birth.

But that hasn't stopped Montgomery County lawyer Philip J. Berg from challenging Obama's qualifications to be president.

Berg, a Hillary Clinton supporter, announced he's filing a federal lawsuit today, claiming that Obama lost his citizenship when his mother relocated the family to Indonesia when Barack was a boy.

Under the law, however, moving to a foreign country does not negate an American's citizenship.

Berg said that he's acting on his own, not as an agent for the Clinton campaign. Republicans were prepared to file a similar lawsuit after the Democratic convention, he said.

It's about midway down the page, but the story did make the Philadelphia Daily News. Thought I would post here as it is the first really NEWS outlet that the story has appeared in.

(Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has faced so many false rumors about his family history )

Or if you are not a shill for the Obama then it would be facts about his family.

Ooopsie.

Now I'm wondering if Obambi was tipped off and decided to go to Hawaii to make sure there was a "real" Birth Certificate archived at the County Courthouse.

Don't think the Certificate of Live Birth is gonna cut it if the suit progresses to discovery.

And was it a coincidence that Fact Check just ‘happened’ to come up with “proof” that the certificate is legit on the same day that this story broke. Newsweek.com made sure to show the Fact Check story.

And it’s also a “Coincidence” is run by the Obama-connected Annenberg Foundation, right?

what a lame ground for the suit.

This could be a friendly loser so that way when the legit suit hits the courts it is more likely to be ignored and or dismissed.

His father and mother were communists that should be promoted a bit more.

Aw, man, you really ruined my day. I've been wondering too, ever since he went on 'vacation'....but look at the bottomless pit of Soros/Hamas/Hezbollah(via Moveon.org and A.N.S.W.E.R.) that he has to but an "original" one with. It's depressing. NOW all he needs to do it let his new, "original" one be examined for forgery. As I understand it, there were some minor changes to the crosshatching and border over the years. If it's original, the crosshatching and border will match exactly to one from the same time period.

I almost think this guy who's filing is not a Hillary supporter, but an Obama campaign employee hired to put the phone birth certificate thing to rest.

That COLB (Certificate of Live Birth) that FactCheck was waving around is the same forgery that’s on KOS (even down to having the identical creases!).

Obama went to Hawaii and evidently couldn’t get his original birth certificate. Since he was adopted by his stepfather Lolo Soetoro, the Senator’s current Hawaiian BC would be in the name of Barry Soetoro. The original BC would have been sealed upon adoption and can’t be released without a court order. He’s had to resort to using the forged COLB.

One he didn't put his birth certificate on the internet, he put a fake copy of A COLB on the internet, one that has been proven beyond all doubt to be fake. Also, he was made a citizen of Indonesia, this means, at the very least, he holds dual citizenship and is ineligible to hold the office of President. I am glad Hillary(her supporter)did this but wish the Republicans could have had their chance after the convention. Hopefully people in other states will file actions to stop his nomination although it only takes one. The more states that have motions filed for this action the better chance of exposing this total fraud and stopping him.

Yes. "Look" being the operative word. It's too slick all of a sudden. It smells.

Sure looks that way!

Here’s the really weird part - if he just told the truth, and he was really born in Honolulu, no one would care how mixed up his parents had been when he was a kid dragging him from place to place.

Hell, his mother moved him to Indonesia and made him study the Koran, but so what! If his folks had waived his U.S. citizenship and made him Indonesian, even that could be explained away, because he would have been a minor and was back in the U.S.A. by the time he was 11-years old. You are not responsible for the actions of your elders.

Instead he is hiding everything about himself. That is what is driving so many Democrats crazy. He hasn’t been vetted by the party and in Kenya his paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister, all insist Barack was born in Kenya. And the Senator can’t get them to shut-up!

At the same time, a freeper out of the blue started talking about McCain’s birth certificate, seeming to imply that McCain isn’t qualified. I find the timing odd in an unrelated thread. Could it be that someone wants us to retaliate against Obama’s B.C. today? Here’s the other thread I’m talking about. It came right out of the blue by Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer):

At the same time, Gatun is trying to get another freeper banned due to posts regarding McCain’s birth certificate:

Really stirring the pot.
