I think the story was about Major Stefan Cook.

Mossad has the goods on the usurper and no telling who else.
Don’t forget Pelosi’s part in certifying Hussein!
Let the congresscritters know that if Obama falls, those who have supported him until now will share his fate.
I would love to see his records from Occidental College... if he was a foreign exchange student...Barry Soetoro from Indonesia. And there’s the trip to Pakistan when Americans couldn’t go there.
Progress.
I know all about the Major...I thought he/she was posting about some one else. My kids are military and over the phone they will not discuss anything like this.
Obama’s citizenship is NOT a sufficient condition for his eligibility for the Pressidency. 10,000 authentic Birth certificates showing that he was born in Hawaii to Barack Obama Sr. won’t make him a Natural Born Citizen, as the Constitution requires.
Hopefully, when a competent judge gets hold of this and makes a good ruling, about 200,000,000 folks in the US are going to get schooled on a matter they should have learned in 6th grade.
Go go go ! Obama must go !
You said — Blackmail has been a concern of mine since Obama was elected. It’s possible he is already being blackmailed.
—
Ummmm..., Obama is so far left, if someone blackmailed him, he would be a conservative... LOL...
Good point!
And Barry would have had to have been a Muslim to attend school in Indonesia.
Add this to your points and methinks Barry’s screwed. There’s a reason this despot has been trying to pass any and every Marxist act he can: he knows he’s done for, perhaps really, really soon.
YEP....read my tagline!
This is the way I remember it. An LDS member in good standing can “nominate” someone, usually a family member, to be baptised by name after their death. An actual baptism takes place with a standin person who may get baptised for many people that day with an elder of the church reading part of a scripture and naming each person and “dunking” in a pool for each nominee.
The thought is the person who has died “had they known” of the church and its teachings would have chosen to be LDS” and then all family members can be together in heaven. That is why it is usually a family member who nomnates.
I know ‘cause when I was a kid I was one of the “standins” for about 6 separate baptisms (took maybe 1/2 hour). It was considered quite an honor to do this.
“He needs to be impeached, and tried for high crimes & treason.”
Agreed Behind Bars for the rest of his life and everyone connected with him the same.
It really doesn’t matter WHERE he was born. That’s a bit of a red herring. The problem is that his father wasn’t a US citizen.
From Orly Taitz’s Pleadings in Keyes et al v. Obama et al:
21. Question 10: What sources should be used in support of authoritative construction of the language of the United States Constitution, aside from the statutory law of the United States as enacted by Congress pursuant to the Constitution and the opinions of the Supreme Court, especially when addressing questions of first impression such as those raised in this complaint?
22. Plaintiffs ask this Court to declare and adjudge that the framers of the constitution used, and that this Court must therefore apply in this case of first impression, the definition of the Natural Born Citizen contained in “The Law of Nations or, Principles of the Law of Nature, applied to the Conduct and Affairs of Nations and Sovereigns” by the Swiss philosopher and jurist Emmerich De Vattel:
“…natural born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owns to its own preservation: and it is presumed, as a matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see, whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for if he is born there of a foreigner, it will only be the place of his birth, and not his country”.
The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law (1758)
23. This Court should apply the De Vattel definition used by the framers of the constitution, defining “Natural Born Citizen” for following reasons:
24. De Vattel’s treatise existed at the time of the creation of the Constitution, as it was published in 1757 and was readily available to the framers
25. Emmerich de Vattel’s was widely quoted by the framers of the constitution, for example, by Hamilton, Jay, and Madison “Publius” in the Federalist Papers.
26. His book provides an exact and contemporaneous definition for the term used “Natural Born Citizen”
27. De Vattel fully corresponds to the well-known statements by the framers of the Constitution
28. The Vattel definition was used as a basis for the Senate resolution 511 of 2008, when Senator McCain was found to be a Natural Born Citizen, based on the fact that he was born in the zone of the Panama canal, US territory at a time and both of his parents were US citizens.
29. Apparently during the Constitutional Convention, John Jay wrote on July 25, 1787 to George Washington:
“Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise or reasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of foreigners into the administration of National government; and to declare expressly that the commander in chief of the American Army shall not be given to, nor devolve on any but a natural born citizen”
30. In explaining the meaning of Natural Born Citizen, a principal framer of the 14th amendment, which redefined citizenship under the Constitution, John Armor Bingham explained that the phrase referred to “every human being born in the jurisdiction of the United States to parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty”. (Emphasis added).
31. As Obama’s East African father owed (by reason of his birth and as a matter of international law) allegiance to British crown (whether or not he professed any), Obama was not a Natural born citizen and does not qualify for presidency. Dual Nationality is a rather new concept that did not exist at the time of creation of the Constitution and Plaintiffs submit that the definition used and the contemporaneous statements of the framers show a desire to exclude from the group of Natural Born Citizens anyone, with allegiance to other sovereignties at birth.
Case closed.
Why don’t we take out a whole page ad in the NYT and Washington Post to run on 9-12 the day of the tea party asking for Obama to produce his Birth Certificate!.
Let’s tke this to the Liberal Media on 9-12. I will give my share.
