Was young Obama Indonesian citizen?(Semi-Vanity)
WND ^ | 8/17/2008 | Aaron Klein

Was Sen. Barack Obama a citizen of Indonesia at any point in his life?

That question has been circulating on the blogosphere with increased fury the past few days, since a photograph emerged of Obama's school registration papers as a child in Indonesia – the world's most populous Muslim nation – showing the presidential candidate listed as a "Muslim" with "Indonesian" citizenship.

An investigation into Indonesian citizenship law and a review of Obama's biography and travels suggest the Illinois senator at one point may have been a citizen of Indonesia. That would not necessarily disqualify Obama to run for president, but it could raise loyalty concerns.

A 2007 Associated Press photograph taken by Tatan Syuflana, an Indonesian AP reporter and photographer, surfaced last week on the Daylife.com photographic website showing an image of Obama's registration card at Indonesia's Fransiskus Assisi school, a Catholic institution.

In the picture, Obama is registered under the name Barry Soetoro by his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. The school card lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His religion is listed as Muslim.

Jack Stokes, manager of media relations for the AP, confirmed to WND the picture is indeed an AP photo.

After attending the Assisi Primary School, Obama later was enrolled at SDN Menteng 1, an Indonesian public school.

Obama's campaign did not return repeated WND phone calls and e-mail queries the past week asking for a clarification regarding the school documentation listing the presidential candidate's citizenship as Indonesian.

Obama spokesmen have stated the candidate is a natural-born citizen amid rumors he may have been born in his father's home country of Kenya, but the campaign has not addressed whether Obama became a citizen of Indonesia at any point.

It seems as though even if Barry is found to be a U.S. citizen, he'll have to resign since he committed perjury if he's elected. Very sticky situation indeed.

Well we already know that perjury is no reason to lose the Presidency.

Thanks, Bill.

If Hussein is elected all investigations at a Federal of state level will be shut down, even before he officially takes office. The Republicans will see to that. Republicans cover up Democrat scandals with more determination than Democrats do. At the same time when Democrats investigate Republicans officeholders quit and there is much "mea culpa."

Then he would forget to show for swearing in and Pelosi would jump to head of the line.

After the election Biden would be the VP. If Barry was forced to resign Biden would be the next president.

Can someone please bring up the Constitutional issue of invalidation which I have read on the blogs before...

That the Presidential candidate can have had only one citizenship - that of the U.S.A. and none other. This does not include other governmental electoral offices such as Senatorial and Congressional - only the POTUS.

Also that the Indonysian citizen can have no other citizenship or loyalty to another nation.
