DNC steps in to silence lawsuit over Obama birth certificate

The man suing Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee for proof of Obama's American citizenship is outraged that his own party – rather than just providing the birth certificate he seeks – would step in to silence him by filing a motion to dismiss his lawsuit.

As WND reported, prominent Pennsylvania Democrat and attorney Philip J. Berg filed suit in U.S. District Court two months ago claiming Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen and therefore not eligible to be elected president. Berg has since challenged Obama publicly that if the candidate will simply produce authorized proof of citizenship, he'll drop the suit.

Berg told WND the longer the DNC tries to ignore his lawsuit or make it go away – instead of just providing the documents – the more convinced he is that his accusations are correct.

Actually, I believe it isn’t that simple. If he was born in a foreign country, he almost certainly would not be qualified to run for President.

[originalbuckeye]

Is that fact? It would be very reassuring.

Hey Moose, I can do you one better.

Let say there’s a tie in the electoral college (269-269) and Obama gets the Prez, but the senate (via tie breaker) taps SARAH for the Veep.

Obama loses his case in the courts, gets rejected, boards the executive helicopter, gives the “defiant fist” and SARAH takes over!!!

How deliciously ironic....would make a great novel at least.

YEs it does. You must be a natural born citizen to be a U.S. President. So stated in the constitution.

provide the documents You are correct, it is so easy to show documents. Just walk up to the judge and show the birth certificate. Why try and stop the law suit, just show the judge the damn birth certificate.

[Non-Sequitur]

No doubt about it now, Obama is not a US born citizen.

Prove it and this will all be over.

Well he did say he “has a funny name” and “doesn't look like the other guys on the money”. I don't think he has a real BC because he was not born in Hawaii IMO.

“Obama about to leave the stage”http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=+Obama+%22about+to+leave+the+stage%22

Slowbama fans will vote for him no matter what. But we still need to find out where he was born. And also he claims Barrack Hussain is Kenyan, it is NOT they are both Arabic/Muslim type names. I know it's a little thing, but his name has been changed from Barry Slobish (sic)?, and he seems to be fibbing about it,(the root of the names,e.g. Kenyon versus Arabic/Muslim. WHY?

[DannyTN]

Could a lawsuit be launched to force a federal agency to verify Obama's authenticy and provide the proof to the public?

Sue the FEC, the National Security Agency, the CIA, and the Justice department asking a judge to determine which of them have responsibility to enfoce that section of the constitution and to demand that they enforce it.

If Berg can back up his claims with hard facts, why not put a TV ad out,buy a full-page ad in the paper,scream it from the rooftops? Something’s not right here,no matter how you look at it.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Ping.

[okokie]

The truth is the truth

Since when did the Dems let a little thing like the TRUTH get in their way?

[Non-Sequitur]

Whose job is it to determine whether or not a candidate meets the constitutional test? FEC?

Nobody is tasked with that. There is no law requiring the candidates to show any documentation to any federal, state, or local agency.

> If Obama is elected and not a citizen then Biden would be President...
Somehow, I think I would prefer Biden to Obama. Some choice, an idiot or something that is pure evil.

[Aria]

and Rossi gave up as I recall...

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Not at all, i have heard rush, sean, laura & tgo all reference them as a source.

Barack (or even "Baraq") Hussein Mohammed Obama

You may well be right. Maybe that's the most likely explanation of this affair. However, that does not give him the right to fake documents, or withholding relevant documentation. Whatever would the leftist MSM have said if Nixon had erased his middle name? Oh...they even made a film about it, didn't they?
