The Pennsylvania Democrat who has sued Sen. Barack Obama demanding he prove his American citizenship – and therefore qualification to run for president – has confirmed he has a recording of a telephone call from the senator's paternal grandmother confirming his birth in Kenya.
The issue of Obama's birthplace, which he states is Honolulu in 1961, has been raised enough times that his campaign website has posted an image purporting to be of his "Certification of Live Birth" from Hawaii.
But Philip J. Berg, a former deputy attorney general for Pennsylvania, told the Michael Savage talk radio program tonight that the document is forged and that he has a tape recording he will soon release.
"This has been a real sham he's pulled off for the last 20 months," Berg told Savage. "I'll release it [the tape] in a day or two, affidavits from her talking to a certain person. I heard the tape. She was speaking [to someone] here in the United States."
He said the telephone call was from Obama's paternal grandmother affirming she "was in the delivery room in Kenya when he was born Aug. 4, 1961."

Three, be a natural-born citizen. He is not."
Obama campaign officials acknowledged the dispute by posting the image purporting to be a copy of his certification of live birth earlier this year. But they've declined to return WND requests for comment...
WND reported earlier this week Berg's claim that Obama has legally "admitted" the accusations included in his lawsuit, including that he was born in Mombosa, Kenya, by not responding to the allegations.
Berg has cited Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which states that unless the accused party provides written answer or objection to charges within 30 days, the accused legally admits the matter.

FactCheck????? ROTFLOL!!!
The fact is, the ANNENBERG Public Policy Center (APPC), the sponsoring agency behind FastCheck.org,
is itself supported by the same foundation, the ANNENBERG FOUNDATION, that Bill Ayers secured the 49.2 million dollars from to create the Chicago ANNENBERG Challenge “philanthropic” organization in which Barack Obama was the founding Chairman of the Board for and Ayers served as the grant writer of and co-Chair of for its two operating arms.
I wouldn't trust FactCheck.org to tell me there was a beautiful blue sky in NYC on 9-11-01.
Welcome to FR.
If your mother is married to your father and your father is a Kenyan muslim, and you are born in Kenya, you are a Kenyan muslim.
One parent does not suffice for US citizenship. Else every Thirdworldistani mother would claim that a US serviceman (or tourist) was the daddy.
If my(American citizen)daughter's child is born in Forres, Scotland while she is there on an extended vacation does that mean my grandchild will not be a naturalized American citizen even though my daughter was born in Florida to a family that came here in 1830?
They may not care a “rat’s arse”, but even if Obama manages a narrow win now, the courts will care. If Biden, then, becomes POTUS, he will be holding on for dear life for his four year term. At two years, the dems will lose control of the House and a conservative President will waltz into the White House two years later with substantial loses to dems in the Senate. Socialist will never maintain power in the freedom loving USA.
What do you call what we've been living under the past couple of decades?
That's the problem.
We've been like the proverbial frogs in the frying pan.
Obama would just turn up the heat a little more.
Don't believe me?
What exactly was the bailout all about?
Someone else might know better, but I think it depends on whether the father is an American citizen whether your grandchild will be considered a natural born citizen. I believe Mitt Romney was born in Mexico, but both his parents were US citizens, therefore, he is considered a natural born US citizen.
All Obama has to do is present genuine evidence, and this issue will go away. It’s very simple.
We’re still waiting.
Well, Klepto, I see you’ve only been a Freeper for 6 days. Isn’t the DU missing you about now.
Go home troll.
Whether your grandkid would be eligible to be President and CIC some day is not clearly defined at this point. Not all citizens are, only 'natural born citizens' qualify.
What exactly that turn of phrase means is the topic of a rather lively debate at the moment...
Not true in 1961.
to be president you must be a NATURAL BORN citizen. Unless they were born in military territories, they can’t be president. That’s the constitution and the law.
You see the big picture. :-)
All attorney Berg has to do is present some real evidence.
We're stil waiting.
Oh yeah.
It's a "recorded phonecall."
Illegal, unless the grandmother gave explicit consent.
Assuming such a recording actually exists.
BTW: Remember "Baghdad Jim" McDermott?
And who would be Veep???
Biden will leave office one way or another on 21 Jan 2010. Hillary!™ will finish his term and still be eligible for two more full terms of her very own...
You miss the point: If proven that he does not meet the Constitutional criteria BEFORE the Election, all votes cast for him means Biden becomes President if the ticket wins. Same applies if they win and it is proven AFTER the election. NOW, HERE’S THE RUB....
If this is proven BEFORE the election, and his supporters know that he will not sit in the Oval Office but Biden will, they will be so demoralized and depressed they will not show up to vote just to put another old, white guy in office. Can you say “President McCain”?
Thanks for expressing my feelings!
Could you be thinking of his father Governor George Romney ?
Not a chance.
The onus is on Obama. The issue will not go away for Obama.
His father was NOT a U.S. citizen serving in another country in the military. Same rules do NOT apply.
