Now comes word that U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, a reservist who lives in Florida, is challenging his deployment based on that argument. Reports the Ledger-Enquirer out of Columbus, Georgia: "Cook’s lawyer, Orly Taitz, who has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in other courts, filed a request last week in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector for his client."

I would have never avoided a deployment based on this argument. This is a mission started under President Bush's watch and it's one that is vital to American security. He needs to go and do his duty or resign his commission.

Why would the liberal media wants to see BHO’s original birth certificate?

CBS just can’t help editorializing to try and help Obama, can they?

Why can’t they just shut their pieholes and report the news without added color commentary and propaganda?

I get so sick of that crap!

I think the major has every right and duty to challenge the legitimacy of the orders he’s received.

"Conspiracy theories about where Mr. Obama was born abound in some quarters despite the fact that the Obama campaign posted the then-candidate's Hawaiian birth certificate online last year. Skeptics call the certificate a forgery, though their claims have been repeatedly debunked."

Actually the person who forged that certificate came forward and said as much.

President Bush is no longer CIC. The major has every right to expect the CIC he takes commands from is legit.

Wake up - you lost your country. How is Afghanistan vital to our security when Muslims flood into the United States, the Saudis run the country and bought the last election with their Islamo puppet? I suggest you get out more and understand who the muslim Brotherhood, CAIR and other groups are and who funds them.

The corrupt in Washington DC is off the charts. The govt is totally corrupt and it comes down to aiding and abetting.

More than a few German soldiers finally woke up to realize Hitler was an Austrian usurper. Sadly not enough. Too many people are not paying attention and are too lazy to put down the clicker.

Sounds like this soldier understands what it means to uphold The Constitution.

The mission started under Bush; he’s no longer the president.

This Major takes his oath of office seriously.

Isn’t it amazing how routinely the state-run media lies these days?

I agree with you. But then again, if this soldier can get Obama booted, then he just saved this country from the enemy within.

Because a president scandal will bring in the much needed ratings. They got a taste of it with the M.Jackson fiasco! And between a failing station or Ozero you betcha they’re gonna be gunning down Ozero! It’s all in the green!

Isn’t the officer’s oath to protect America from all enemies foreign and domestic? If some gained power through fraud and a violation of The Constitution then i would think they may be an enemy. Just show us the BC.

And this has the potential to be the biggest presidential scandal ever.

TV execs: Think of the ratings we will get!! followed by an evil laugh....
