PHILADELPHIA — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging Barack Obama's qualifications to be president.
U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick on Friday night rejected the suit by attorney Philip J. Berg, who alleged that Obama was not a U.S. citizen and therefore ineligible for the presidency. Berg claimed that Obama is either a citizen of his father's native Kenya or became a citizen of Indonesia after he moved there as a boy.
Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father. His parents divorced, and his mother married an Indonesian man.
Internet-fueled conspiracy theories question whether Obama is a "natural-born citizen" as required by the Constitution for a presidential candidate and whether he lost his citizenship while living abroad.
Surrick ruled that Berg lacked standing to bring the case, saying any harm from an allegedly ineligible candidate was "too vague and its effects too attenuated to confer standing on any and all voters."
Assertion made but no evidence presented to support it.
As I expected, these suits are going to be dismissed because judges will claim that Berg has no standing, but no one will say who could have standing to demand that Obama must prove his citizenship. Maybe one of the electors chosen November 4 will have standing.
I am surprised at the judge’s ruling. It looks like he is ignoring the Constitution.
So if Obie is elected, and then at some point it turns out he is not a natural born US citizen, thus not being eligible per the US Constitution, what happens at that point? Does Plugs become Pres? Or like everything else involving Obie, is it just “overlooked”.
At least it is now in the msm.
I know that some Constitutional scholars are wary of Judicial intervention in elections. They expect the voters to inform each other if someone is not properly vetted.
You're right, Hitler had the Autobahn built and got the trains running on time. Obama has no such achievements to his credit.

You are correct, Obama and Hitler have little in commmon. The commie dictators group including Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Saddam, Hillary and even Mrs. Snodgrass (5th Grade) share more common traits with Obama. Traits such as precipitating the collapse of moral, financial, educational, judicial and civil liberty resulting in millions of deaths and decades of misery to name just one.
It does a great disservice to the ranks of WW1 Iron Cross winners to compare or associate cowards like Obama to them. On the other hand if the previous poster was speaking of the commie dictators in the “kill all the subhumans amongst us” group, then he or she does have a point.
Kids wearing UN blue T-shirts totally brainwashed sing a song of praise to the most UN-American POS ever to run for the highest office in this Country.
This is absolutely disgusting.
How can a judge toss out the suit so quickly? Did Obama produce a Birth certificate proving he is a natural born citizen of these untied states? If so, I want to see it posted. If he doesn’t show proof to the citizens of this country, then oust him.
The group of three featured in the horrid video — two white males flanking the Asian woman? Could the male on the right possibly be William Ayers. It sure looks a lot like him (he’s got the map of the Soviet Union all over his face!).
I believe your correct.
"(he’s got the map of the Soviet Union all over his face!)."
I wonder if (off camera)they all goosestepped out of the room?
When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side,' I say calmly, 'Your child belongs to us already...What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing but this new community'. ...Knowledge would spoil my young people. I prefer that they learn only what they pick up by following their own play instinct. But they must learn self-control. I will have them master the fear of death through the most difficult trials. That is the heroic stage of youth. Out of it will grow the stage of the free man, a human being who is the measure and center of the world." The German youth must be slender and supple, fast as a greyhound, tough as leather, and hard as Krupp steel. He must learn to do without, to endure criticism and injustice, to be reliable, discreet, decent, and loyal."

When all else fails and you want to fix something, then return to the original plans, the Constitution for the United States.
Constantly tinkering with a broken machine may work for awhile, but eventually that machine will brake down and leave you stranded.
Why be stranded? Stop tinkering. Time to get out the original plans and fix the damn thing once and for all! Vote for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party. He won’t continue tinkering with a broken government that’ll eventually leave us all stranded, no he’ll adhere to the original plan. The Constitution for the United States.
Lets see it?
