If the lawsuit has been filed, why is Berg v. Obama being ignored?

It’s just too special and it needs to be allowed to find it own space and grow like a poisounous liana in this elctoral jungle. BTW is there also an apparent black out on the ‘white powder’ incident on McCain?

You have a point. This has been so under reported that I have the fogiest idea what you are talking about.

Anybody can file a lawsuit on someone for just about anything.
They are waiting to see if it has any legs or falls over to die a quiet death.

Really filing a lawsuit is not all that newsworthy. Give it time, news will get around and it will get some mention.

I haven't paid that much attention to this .. but part of this lawsuit claims that Obama was not born in Hawaii and think that the birth certificate he produced was not real.

That has been put to rest by FactCheck. The Birth Certificate is real.

I don't know about the rest of the claims .. they may or may not be true ??

Because they don't want to look like nutball conspiracy theorists.

The latest Birth Certificate is a real follow-up forgery. It is a new forgery made to match the first forgery. That is what is being reported by other bloggers.

Why do you accept the Annenberg FactChack organization, anyway? Not exactly a neutral party.

You realize that it's only like $20 (iirc) or something for an official certificate -- why doesn't Obama allow ANYONE to order their own copy, or at least present a copy to genuine neutral and trusted party?

It’s being ignored because nothing is going to happen.
Obama is going to be the nominee.
It’s going to be McCain vs Obama.

Plain and simple.

From KOA 5:30pm News: “Arapahoe County Sherriffs are handling the situation.”

From the Rocky Mountain news: The Secret Service says the letter had a return address from an inmate at the Arapahoe County Jail.

Berg is a bit of a crackpot. A Google search on him reveals that he has filed several frivolous lawsuits over the years, including one against several Supreme Court justices over the 2000 election and one against the Bush administration. Rush/Drudge would do well to keep their distance from this clown.

Not reported because it is a non-story. At a proprietous moment, the real facts of the immaculate birth of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro, shall be revealed. But we are still in the process of writing the revised new testament for the 21st Century.

It shall be ready when it is ready.

I found this by Googling. Like the chicom's faking the "baby-girl's" Olympic gymnastic birth certificates, you are NOT allowed to see HUSSEIN's either!!!

Is this what the clintoons have up in theirs sleeves for their convention???.............

« Obama Hussein: My birth certificate is off limits too. US Taxpayers financing more border security… for OTHER counties! »

Obama Hussein isn’t eligible to be President TOP del.icio.us

We already know that Jihadist Obama HUSSEIN is not QUALIFIED to be the President, we now know that he is not ELIGIBLE to be President under American law. This is a great comment to a post over at Michelle Malkin’s blog:

On June 10th, 2008 at 8:37 am, legendx3 said:

Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. Natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between “December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986? . Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. Citizen parents, which of course is what exempts John McCain though he was born in the Panama Canal. US Law very clearly stipulates: “…If only one parent was a U.S. Citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.” Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. Citizen and Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawai’i being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama’s birth, but *after* age 16. It doesn’t matter *after* . In essence, she was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Obama’s birth when she was 18 in Hawai’i. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5= 21 years old, at the time of Barack Obama’s birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen. As aformentioned, she was a young college student at the time and was not. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Cizen parent. Obama instead should have been naturalized, but even then, that would still disqualify him from holding the office.

*** Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. *** Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, all the other info does not matter because his mother is the one who needed to have been a U.S. Citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16. Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the country for some time to protect any citizenship he would have had, rather than living in Indonesia. Now you can see why Obama’s aides stopped his speech about how we technically have more than 50 states, because it would have led to this discovery. This is very clear cut and a blaring violation of U.S. Election law. I think the Gov. Of California would be very insterested in knowing this if Obama were elected President without being a natural-born U.S. Citizen, and it would set precedence. Stay tuned to your TV sets because I suspect some of this information will be leaking through over the next several days…

DAWG! This guy really is about flaunting his illegal behavior in all of our faces, isn’t he?

Philip J. Berg is a 911 thruther. He also demanded the disbarment of three Supreme Court justices regarding Bush v. Gore [PDF]. Read his bio.

Berg is a 911 "Truther" who filed a lawsuit against President Bush that was thrown out of court. He also stated the following:

"It is time for the nations of the world to come forth and take the leadership because of the failure of the United States Government and the States where crimes were committed on 09/11/01, where no thorough investigation and indictments occurred, to investigate, arrest and prosecute the people responsible for the murders on 9/11/01, specifically including George W. Bush and Richard Cheney."

I don't believe a thing this guy says unless he actually produces proof in court.

I saw that picture of the 'real' cert of birth at FactCheck. That one has a major crease along the top, through the State seal. There's no way that was on either of the two versions posted earlier, imo.

Also, the timing seems suspicious to me - right after Bambi returned from Hawaii?

The guy was willing to spend $800,000 for voter fraud (ACORN), how much does a little help with a cert of birth (which is not the same as an original birth certificate) cost?

It is not being reported because it is a WEAK suit at best.

The claim is HIS MOTHER waived his citizenship by moving out of the country.

There is an argument to be made that the mother can not waive the child’s citizenship.

IOW this suit is a BS set up so Obama can simply state his citizenship issue is settled. (actually surrogates because this BS is beneath him)

In the meantime the birth certificate question guest dumped into this idiotic claim as “settled’.

Yes, that seems to the applicable law at the time, in regard citizenship. It seems to me that Article II creates a stricter test than any citizenship law might have, in this case both Obama’s Dad’s non-citizenship creates an impairment to the “natural born” status (that can be removed ONLY by Constitutional Amendment) and his mom’s overseas travels creates a second impairment. That second impairment is due to citizenship — about which Congress CAN set law and regulation, and it may have been resolved if Obama was ever made a naturalized citizen.
