A stone’s throw away from the White House, more than 50 members of the press and curious onlookers alike crowded the intimate Edward R. Murrow Room at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. this afternoon to hear arguments why Barack Obama is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president of the United States.
The press conference was sponsored by Robert Schulz and his We The People Foundation, both of which just this last week ran an open letter to the former Illinois senator in his hometown Chicago Tribune, appealing to Obama to present for review any and all documentation which will prove his qualification to serve as president pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. Also attending the press conference: Philip Berg, a Pennsylvania attorney who, in August, filed the first lawsuit questioning Obama’s constitutional eligibility; Orly Taitz, a Chechnyan immigrant turned southern California dentist and lawyer who has filed a pair of suits in the Golden State, one of which was on behalf of Ambassador and former GOP presidential candidate Alan Keyes, who ran as the Independent Party’s candidate for president in this past election.; and Rev. James David Manning, chief pastor at the Harlem-based ATLAH World Missionary Church....... Schulz stated that “as supreme law of the land, the Constitution is all that stands between freedom and tyranny.” He noted that “the Constitution is not a menu” and that we “do not get to pick and choose” which provisions and guidelines to follow, maintaining that the Natural Born Citizen clause was designed by our founders to “safeguard our nation from outside influence.”
“The Obama citizenship issue is so simple that a schoolchild could understand it, ..

I would like to watch a Manning-Wright homiletical smackdown.
Again, it has nothing to do with the 15 to 17 cases about presidential qualifications. You and others throw it out there to try and muddy the water. Debate the facts of the current cases.
“Debate the facts of the current cases.”
Exactly. The sign of a weak defense is the defendant ignoring the facts and law, and abusing the plaintiff or “poisoning the well.”
The larger questions is: why are some here defending Obama? If they think this is a waste of time, well, then go over to chat or just stay the hell off these threads.
Duh! Maybe the sheeple might take notice of PROOF published in foreign newspapers all over the world, something our compliant press could not pretend doesn't exist, if the President refused to be blackmailed by some foreign gov't like the Chinese or the Russians. (Although I seriously doubt that our President would need to be blackmailed to do their bidding since the past couple of Presidents don't seem to have needed anything more than a bribe!)
On one had the liberals claim that "the people" are responsible for vetting the candidates for president and on the other they point to Berg's case to say the he has no standing. Isn't Berg one of "the people" and doesn't HE have a right to see for himself if Obama is qualified?
I think some just like to argue. And some think the 9/11 statement is clever. And some are trolls.
Where did you get that? He's a practicing attorney in PA and formerly held a position in the Attorney General's office that required a law degree.
Hey! Duh!
Open your eyes. Pravda had the story a week ago. Few noticed.

Yeah but it was one article and most Americans didn’t see it. I think it’s a shame. Our press is not doing it’s job but then, it hasn’t for sometime now.
Did Pravda print a copy of his Kenyan B.C. or just print a rambling article that sounded like it was written by some AP writer? Sorry, it was an article that said - what if - and offered no proof.
Mods, can you please look into the keyword abuse again? Someone posted notthisshitagain as a keyword.
You know, if someone isn’t interested in the debate, why not just move on? This keyword spamming is childish. I also read that the Mods can see who posts a keyword. Too much abuse and they could have a vacation.

***Yup. The last troll to get the zot for this on Certifigate threads was Searchin. I wonder who’s next.

Makes me glad that I seldom read the keywords. That keyword list looks like an eighth grade boys list made during gym class.
My apologies and thanks to you for the correction and apologies to the readers here.
I confused Berg with Benjamin.
