From birthers to plain old Americans who still believe in the Constitution of The United States of America that says that a president must be a natural born citizen, it sure would be nice to know the truth about President Obama’s birth certificate records.

Now comes the emergence of a Kenyan birth certificate from Orly Taitz. 

HuffPost has disputes its authenticity as does Karl Rove, saying:

• Kenya was a Dominion the date this certificate was allegedly issued and would not become a republic for 8 months.
• Mombasa belonged to Zanzibar when Obama was born, not Kenya.
• Obama’s father’s village would be nearer to Nairobi, not Mombasa.
• The number 47O44– 47 is Obama’s age when he became president, followed by the letter O (not a zero) followed by 44–he is the 44th president.

Hawaii issued another statement last week claiming that they have President Obama’s authenticated copy- alas no original as they made the switch to electronic documents years ago.

Where’s the birth certificate?  Locked away like his health records and college transcripts, President Obama’s birth certificate remains as elusive as knowing the winning Power Ball Lottery winning Numbers in advance.  In fact we have a better chance at getting struck by lightening, but the issue of his citizenship will not go away- nor should it.

Last week  House press secretary Robert Gibbs said that he was incredulous.”I am incredulous that the issue just won’t go away. This question, in many ways, continues to astound me. The state of Hawaii provided a copy, with a seal, of the president’s birth… I certainly hope, by the fourth year of our administration, that we’ll have dealt with this burgeoning birth controversy.”  The administration has dealt with it by paying huge legal fees to keep his records private.

Gibbs is astounded?  Hey jackass, it is millions of American’s who are astounded that our Constitution remains in jeopardy with the possibility that we are being led by a foreigner that may be ineligible.  Required by Article II Section 1 of the Constitution states, “No person except a natural-born citizen…shall be eligible to the Office of the President.”

Incredulously, Obama himself could have put an end to the lawsuits that began with Berg vs Obama, but the court proceedings linger on.  Why spend the money to defend your right to keep your sealed, certified birth certificate a secret unless there is something to hide?

Interestingly, there is a bill pending to require that all future  presidential candidates be required to show proof of eligibility before being placed on the ballot. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., filed H.R. 1503, an amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. Virginia Republican Bob Goodlatte has signed on as a co-sponsor. 

“H.R.1503 Title: To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee’s statement of organization a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution.
Sponsor: Rep Posey, Bill [FL-15] (introduced 3/12/2009)      Cosponsors (1) Status: Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.  ”

It appears the bill has been stalled with no action taken in more than two months.   http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/thomas.  Funny how our government under Obama can authorize the spending of billions for bailouts and buy General Motors and turn in into Government Motors- negating capitalism and open market principles in the process, but can not seem to pass a little bill that reinforces a candidates eligibility.   No matter who Obama’s grandparents are, I sincerely doubt that Obama would be grandfathered in- requiring him to prove unequivocally that he is qualified. 

Family Security Matters hasn’t gone away either.  In a letter to Rupert Murdoch of Fox News, “Revelation of this massive collapse of the fundamentals of the electoral process (ensuring candidate eligibility) at this point would make some very important people look hopelessly incompetent and inept.” http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.3320/pub_detail.asp   Say nothing of the 53% of voters who elected him.

Andy Martin said, “Secrecy laws were intended to protect the privacy of private citizens, not presidents.”  Martin filed an appeal May 27, 2009  to the court against Linda Lingle, in her official Capacity as Governor filing in Hawaii Courts again asking to see Obama’s birth certificate and citing numerous errors in the proceedings. http://www.pr-inside.com/obama-birth-certificate-brief-filed-in-r1278274.htm. The state said they “have the original document” on file.

The http://www.800poundgorillamedia.com/The_Evidence.html has a nice roundup on current happenings from Orly Taitz to Alan Keyes with some interesting videos. 

Our neighbors to the North at Canada Free Press said, “ Once again, I find myself forced to ask, “Now have we seen enough?”  On several occasions I have asked, what is it going to take for average Americans to wake up and stand up? And once again, I must point out that whatever it is, it hasn’t happened yet! Maybe Government Motors is the last straw. Maybe putting Republican leaning Chrysler dealerships out of business will do the trick. Maybe sicking FBI and Secret Service agents on decent concerned citizens who happen to disagree with Obama’s version of Marxism will get people fired up…Whatever it is, it had better happen soon, because Obamanation is fast turning the beacon of freedom around the world into just another broken banana republic. ” http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/11456

Innocent until proven guilty, eligible until proven not. 

A sign of the times, indeed.

President Obama has admitted, “I screwed up,” in his reference to selecting Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer,  and Bill Richardson, to key government positions.  How Tim Geithner squeaked by is beyond me.

“It’s important for this administration to send a message that there aren’t two sets of rules — you know, one for prominent people and one for ordinary folks who have to pay their taxes,” Obama said. Earlier in the day, Obama had proclaimed he was “absolutely” sticking with Daschle for Health and Human Services Secretary.-CNN

Only days on the job, and already he admits he screwed up?  Maybe the voters screwed up.  Certainly from someone with an advanced degree from Harvard, he could have chose to say I made a mistake instead of saying screwed. 

In another fine example of failure to vett potential nominees, we are again witness to people whose backgrounds reveal that they are deceitful, not unintentional oversights.   A person selected to oversee the implementation of policy should have impeccable credentials, just like Obama who has explained and dismissed any questionable relationship he has ever had with Ayers, Rezko, Kahlidi, Odinga, Rev. Wright Wrong, ACORN, etc. http://www.fightthesmears.com/

Obama has come out smelling like a rose en route the The Presidency even though his own vetting left a lot to be desired.  No one still has seen his official birth certificate even after numerous lawsuits by Berg, Donofrio and others.  Obama’s selective service documents are out of alignment with the truth. Where is his report card and transcripts?  Really, why would the American voters expect the vetting of his selections to be any different than Obama’s own vetting?

President Obama warned Republicans recently on Capitol Hill that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.   “You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he said to the GOP leaders whom he himself had invited to the White House to discuss his trillion dollar stimulus.  The funny thing is, I know more about Rush Limbaugh’s success and failures than Obama’s.  Too bad for Joe the Plumber who got a full vetting in public. 

Are we supposed to believe in all those government agencies working together to prevent terrorism when we have a leader who’s team can’t even vett or nominate someone without tax problems?  If the Obama government is trying to adjust the market’s allocation of wealth and opportunity it should start by selecting acceptable candidates and properly vetting them.  Perhaps he should take his own advice to heart and ask his wife when he said in an interview for of all places, The Ladies Home Journal, “I would never make a big decision without asking her opinion.”

The millions of Obama trolls must be saddened to know he owned up to a mistake.  Obama’s political e-mail list tops 13 million names, a digital force that he can rely on to push for his legislations, hinder critics, or seek support.  ” That power gives Obama’s on line advisers a potentially bigger role than many of his Cabinet picks and major hires in pushing through an agenda.   A Cabinet secretary stumping for a new bill has been rendered less powerful than a million e-mails crashing the Capitol; a visit to the Hill from top aides is unmatched to on line petitions that clog legislative offices.” http://sweetness-light.com/archive/obamas-online-trolls-to-keep-at-it.  The good thing for Obama is he doesn’t have to vett 13 million names.

The little thorns on the stem of the rose that smelled like sweet victory got him elected in the first place will keep pricking and poking away at his selections and his plans-those little thorns are called Republicans. As Obama so eloquently pointed out when people disagree with his policy, he said arrogantly, “I Won,” when challenged by republican Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona over the contents of the stimulus package. 

You sure did win President Obama, now stop screwing up our land of hope and change.

The last political figure to admit, “I screwed up,” was John McCain telling David Letterman when he canceled a “Late Show” appearance. 

We all know what happened to McCain.

It seems it would be easier to find a needle in a hay stack than for Obama himself, to produce an authentic copy of his birth certificate.

Main Stream Media has all but dismissed coverage of any lingering questions regarding is eligibility to hold office under The U.S. Constitution-  Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and Article VI, Clause 2. of which should need no explanation.  Instead, suddenly Google has 729 news articles in it’s query and most dismiss the entire topic as being implausible. http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/12/09/birth_certificate/  has a review of all the “half baked legal theories,” and points to some on the fringe while ignoring the underlying facts that President Elect Obama has still refused to authenticate himself.

David Horowitz at Town Hall wrote, “It is not conservatism; it is sore loserism and quite radical in its intent. Respect for election results is one of the most durable bulwarks of our unity as a nation.”  http://townhall.com/Columnists/DavidHorowitz/2008/12/08/obama_derangement_syndrome_conservatives_need_to_shut_up_about_the_birth_certificate

I fail to define seeking the truth for the highest office in the land, radical.  How is it radical to want to see our laws upheld?   Like most folks I live within the law.  Except for my last speeding ticket some ten years ago, I have a clean record.  I vote, work, pay taxes, have a family, and have a mundane life.  I attend church regularly where my clergy does not claim to “God Damn America.”  I am not a radical.  

When it comes to my individual right to have standing  in the court of law, I fail to see how the media does not strongly object.  Specifically Justice Surrick in Berg v Obama, et al said that Berg has no standing to challenge Obama’s citizenship- again we must ask, if he has no standing then who does?  Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., Ph.D., J.D. writes…  “And, particularly in this situation, judges will desperately desire to escape having to take upon themselves the responsibility for the political consequences—let alone the odium whipped up by Obama’s touts in the big media—that will flow from the courts’ declaring Obama ineligible for the Office of President. Which responsibility and vilification wily judges can craftily evade by denying that voters, electors, candidates, and various other would-be litigants have “standing” to challenge his eligibility. For then the judges can claim both that, on the one hand, they have no authority to declare Obama ineligible because no litigant has “standing” to demand such relief, and that, on the other hand, by dismissing the cases solely on “standing” grounds they have not declared him eligible, either http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin186.htm

In the National Press Room after some long winded comments which can be reviewed with a degree of fairness at http://www.americasright.com/2008/12/challenging-obamas-eligibility-just.html Berg said,  “My case in district court was dismissed for one reason – standing,” Berg said. “According to the court, I don’t have standing, Bob doesn’t have standing, no one in this room has standing. We’re asking for one qualification out of three. We know he’s at least 35 years old. We’ll give him the 14 years in the country. We just want to know that he is natural born. It’s not that difficult.”  Apparently it is.

Horowitz’ article,  Obama Derangement Syndrome: Conservatives Need to Shut Up About the Birth Certificate asks “what difference does it make if Obama was born on U.S. Soil and that advocates will argue “Constitutional Principle”.  He is correct, I and others will argue rationally for my country and my Constitution every day, with every last breath, and not shut up.  There is no civil unrest, no riots, no nothing but freedom of speech.

Donofrio, Berg, Cort, and even Andy Martin have done much to uphold the laws of this land as the original signers of the Constitution intended.    It is not about disenfranchising or challenging the 65 million votes Obama garnered in the election that are being challenged, it’s the fact that Obama should provide proof that he was legally eligible in the first place.  We respect the outcome of elections as proof in Bush v Gore and even in those ballots still being counted for of all people, Al Franken.  From The NY Times “The missing votes favored Mr. Franken, who would fall 46 more votes behind Mr. Coleman if the recount numbers are used.” http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/09/us/politics/09minnesota.html?_r=1&ref=politics   I fail to see how more votes would not assist Mr. Franken and that goes to show the quality of MSM election reporting.

The bailout has gone from billions to trillions in just days.  Were Obama’s eligibility falter, the outcome would be tragic.  It would be a bigger tragedy to have allowed a subversion of  America’s core document, The Constitution.

The first Chief Justice of the United States, John Jay, to George Washington in 1787 in a letter wrote:

Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of foreigners into the administration of our 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.

Perhaps the Supremes have read, ““Let it be remembered that civil liberty consists, not in a right to every man to do just what he pleases, but it consists in an equal right to all citizens to have, enjoy, and do, in peace, security and without molestation, whatever the equal and constitutional laws of the country admit to be consistent with the public good.”

 Time will tell if denial and disenfranchisement of Obama’s citizenship is consistent with the public good.

God Bless America

After waiting the weekend, Donofrio v Wells application to The Supreme Court has been denied.  The Court did not give a reason. 

Was the dismissal procedural or contextual?  The Supremes had more than two weeks to review and read the issues that Donofrio brought to the Court regarding  NJ Secretary of State certification of candidates as being eligible under law. 

Donofrio urges us that, “All eyes should now be closely watching US Supreme Court Docket No. 08A469, Wrotnowski v. Bysiewicz,”  regarding similar issues on eligibility.  The docket is at http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08a469.htm  and scheduled for conference on December 12, 2008.  The case also seems to argue that Obama is not a natural born citizen since he was a British citizen at birth via his father.

“Just like James Bond, Donofrio is not one to never say never again even if tomorrow never comes.  There are two other cases at the Supreme Court.  No word on when the other cases might get attention.  But so far, so good for Barack Obama.  Although some conspiracists may find it interesting that Joe Biden hasn’t resigned from his Senate seat yet…” http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2008/12/08/whew-obama-can-still-be-president-supreme-court-declines-case/

Today’s orders from The Supreme Court can be found here at http://www.supremecourtus.gov/orders/courtorders/120808zor.pdf

Donofrio offers a gentlemanly description of his journey to The Court and assistance to the Cort case here  http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/ and here http://citizenwells.wordpress.com/

Today Philip Berg also filed an injunction seeking to stop the Electoral College until Obama’s eligibility is proved.  http://www.obamacrimes.com/attachments/072_ObamaPressRelease12082008.pdf his site is at http://www.obamacrimes.com/ but neither lists a document number to follow yet. 

The whole chain of events outlined is being outlined by a man name Joe Thunder who was there [sic-at the Supreme Ct] in flesh and blood.  He is going to be on Overnight AM Radio  at 10:20p.m. tonight and promises a video on the site tomorrow.  http://www.lanlamphere.com/public/

Overnight AM Radio also has a video of  Texas state representative, Suzanna Gratia-Hupp, whose parents were killed by an insane gunman while her gun was out in the car, gives very moving and bold testimony about the REAL reason that the second amendment was designed to protect our God-given right to keep and bear arms.  Link direct at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4069761537893819675

Funny how the MSM didn’t care much to write about or feature Obama’s pending litigation at SCOTUS, until the Donofrio case was denied.  Fair and balanced my a $ $. 

President-elect Barack Obama, returning to his home state of Hawaii for the holidays, plans a beach side vacation at one of Oahu’s most exclusive properties, according to an islander involved in the planning. …The property is located across the island from metropolitan Honolulu.” http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081205/D94SQ3MG0.html

In late October, less than two weeks before the election, Obama spent about 22 hours in Honolulu visiting his dying grandmother, Madelyn Dunham. http://www.starbulletin.com/news/20081206_Christmastime_in_Kailua_is_on_Obamas_agenda.html

Obama raised more than $745 million during his campaign and has a $30 million surplus that other democrats in campaign debt would love to get there hands on.  ” Legally, Obama can donate the extra money to charity, transfer it to another political campaign, or dole it out in  $2,000 increments to local candidates,”  Gross said.  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081206/ap_on_el_pr/obama_democrats

Our economy is in the tank, job losses are the highest since the 70’s, home foreclosures are increasing and That One is taking his family on an incredible beach vacation with a few other families.  Who is footing this bill?  The secret service will be thrilled to get out of DC and Chicago for warmer breezes. 

While the Obama’s dream of glistening sand much of America will have glistening snow. 

Under the duress of an Alberta Clipper, sometime this week the Supremes should post notice if they are going to hear Donofrio v Wells. The Supreme Court met in a full conference on, Judge Thomas Clarence’s recommendation,  December 5, 2008  Docket http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08a407.htm.   The case challenges Obama’s eligibility under the natural born clause of the U.S. Constitution. 

This case does not center on Obama’s birth certificate rather, it cites the fact that even on Obama’s own web where he claims to have been born in Hawaii, his father was a Kenyan and he had dual citizenship.  The problem is that our Constitution does not allow for dual citizenship in the office of President.  ooops.

The other hanging chad at SCOTUS is Berg v Obama.  A easy to follow listing of court action is here can be found here- http://www.sectalk.com/boards/showthread.php?t=62655&referrerid=1579.  Berg’s case centers around his birth certificate and believes that the COLB posted for us to see is fraudulent.

Obama has never produced an original birth certificate, ever.  Placing a document on the Internet doesn’t make if factual. Neither the DNC, RNC, FEC, any SOS have authenticated Obama’s eligibility. 

No Court to date has requested anything either.  Maybe today.

 “The 10^th Amendment to the Constitution states that the powers not delegated to the federal government, nor prohibited to the states, remain with the states or the people.  Therefore it seems that any state or any person has standing to sue to enforce not just the Natural Born Citizen Clause, but other constitutional requirements and rights, absent some expressly written bar within the Constitution itself.” http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/10/who_enforces_the_constitutions.html

Barack Obama’s vaulted birth certificate is under lock and key in Hawaii and maybe while he is in Hawaii he might pick up it up and put this matter to rest with or without the Court’s mandate.

Today is the day that all the Barack Obama birth certificate conspiracy theorists–or “birthers,” as they’re known in some circles*–have been waiting for. Yes, at long last, it’s Birth Certificate Day at the Supreme Court! Time for the highest court in the land to settle this dispute once and all.

Or so the “birthers” would like to believe.

They’re a tad mistaken, though. That’s because the authenticity question over of Obama’s birthplace document has all ready been put to rest innumerable times.

No, the question before the court today is not whether Obama was born in the U.S., it’s whether that birth makes him a natural born citizen. The argument brought by Leo Donofrio goes like this:

“Don’t be distracted by the birth certificate and Indonesia issues. They are irrelevant to Senator Obama’s ineligibility to be President. Since Barack Obama’s father was a Citizen of Kenya and therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of Senator Obama’s birth, then Senator Obama was a British Citizen ‘at birth’, just like the Framers of the Constitution, and therefore, even if he were to produce an original birth certificate proving he were born on US soil, he still wouldn’t be eligible to be President.

The Framers of the Constitution, at the time of their birth, were also British Citizens and that’s why the Framers declared that, while they were Citizens of the United States, they themselves were not “natural born Citizens”.

Got it? The argument is that even if he was born in the U.S., his daddy was an immigrant, so he can’t be president. Donofrio in fact “concedes Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.”

Also, the Supreme Court isn’t hearing the case, they are deciding whether to hear the case.”

Since when does the AOLNEWS, or any of the news services interject BLATANTLY an opinion into a news article?  At least MSM is coy.  Shame, shame, as millions rely on AOL to speak the gospel in reporting the news and the facts.  This was not a blog or even an editorial piece, this was presented as fact that the tin foil hat, birthers are mired in conspiracy and not fact. 

The Supremes should have something to say next week.  Whatever AOLNEWS chooses to write about, let us be reminded of its obvious slant toward defying the Constitution if Obama proves to not be eligible. 

At least  they reported ” the Supreme Court isn’t hearing the case, they are deciding whether to hear the case.”  Golly gee, thanks for the news scoop. 

  Be afraid, very afraid.

For a little more factual information on the Donofrio case http://citizenwells.wordpress.com/.

“If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog,” said, President Harry Truman.  The Bush’s are moving out to fancy dancy Preston Hallow, TX with their dogs while the Obama family will be getting a new puppy when they move into the White House.

“The breeds we’ve chosen for the Obama family represent a variety of sizes, energy levels and temperaments, yet all are well-established in their coat type, to ensure that they are a good match for any allergy sufferer,” says AKC spokesperson Lisa Peterson. “Dogs that are AKC registered have pedigrees reaching back often hundreds of years, and so the characteristics that make them better companions for allergy suffers are fixed through decades of breeding for consistent breed type and predictability.” http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/07/vetting-obamas.html

Obama, it seems has been bred with the same predictability as a lot of other political dogs.  His characteristics of  avoiding full disclosure remind me of a dog  you want to like and aren’t allergic to, but it just keeps lifting it’s leg to pee on the carpet while it’s looking at you- right in the eye.  Obama’s own lineage and pedigree have yielded him to offhandedly, call himself a mutt.  Language and politically correct driven terminology aside, some are saying that they were offended by his self-deprecating description of himself as a “mutt.”  Obama’s biracial heritage while it has not been verified by his birth certificate, seems to be the son of a white mother from Kansas and an African father from Kenya.  It is that lineage, and the laws of the land that might keep a him from taking office. 

It is a remarkable achievement to have a bi-racial, black in appearance, man as President Elect.  Putting the applause for America aside, it seems we know more about vetting his dog than him.  His associations with Ayers, Retzko, ACORN, etc.,  have been circumspect  and any improprieties, cast aside by his supporters.  Days before the Electoral College meets, still we have questions about his pedigree and breeding that could prohibit Obama and 12 million other immigrants from holding the highest office is the land, President- and a whole host of lawsuits are looking for answers.  Some of those cases are reviewed here in relative Main Stream Media- The Chicago Tribune Chronicle.  http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6145787.html.

The Supreme Court is going to be meeting in a full conference today, December 5, 2008 regarding Donofrio v Wells. Docket http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08a407.htm.   The case challenges Obama’s eligibility under the natural born clause of the U.S. Constitution.  The case was re-submitted to Justice Thomas of whom Obama said, “I don’t think that he [Thomas] was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time, for that elevation, setting aside the fact that I profoundly disagree with his interpretations of a lot of the constitution.”  Thomas is at the opposite end of Obama’s political spectrum including anti-affirmative action, anti-abortion, and anti-prisoner rights views.  Could Thomas be just getting even in referring this to a full conference?

Justice Souter had rejected the petition, known as an application for a stay of writ of certiorari that asked the court to prevent the meeting of the Electoral College on Dec. 15, which will certify Obama as the 44th president of the United States and its first African-American president.

Some have argued that the eligibility issue should be amended to render naturalized citizens and immigrants the right to serve as President.  As it stands now Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 provides:

TRANSPARENCY:
an open letter to Barack Hussein Obama

“The most important office in a democracy is the office of citizen.  That means you guys.”  Barack Obama. 

It is becoming painfully obvious that Obama promise of transparency in office, may have been a fib.  Obama continues to dance around the Court of Law to avoid producing his authentic, verifiable birth certificate that would indicate if he meets the qualifications of President under existing Constitutional and Common Law. 

“Barack Obama ran a campaign promising TRANSPARENCY. Yet his own records, the most basic records necessary to determine his eligibility for the highest office in the land, the Presidency, are vaulted away under lock and key, inaccessible to both the public and public authorities.” http://www.thebulletin.us/site/news.cfm?newsid=20210273
