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.

Along the campaign trail, when introducing Senator Joe Biden as his new running mate, Barack Obama slipped and almost declared the Senator from Delaware as the next Commander-in-Chief:

“Let me introduce to you the next President — the next Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden.”  http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2008/08/23/barack-america-and-president-biden-ooops/

When Senator Biden got on stage he upped the ante declaring Barack Obama to be, not just the next President, but the next Super Hero.”A man I’m proud to call my friend.  A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!”

Mr. Barack Hussein Obama had it right after all, as Joe Biden was the 44th President of the United States of America at noon on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009 and through January 21, 2009 until 7:35 pm, when Obama re-took the Oath of Office.

Article 2 of  The Constitution-if the President-elect shall have failed to qualify, or alternatively  if the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term, being 12:00 Noon which ability and/or qualification includes that he take the Article 2 Oath “before he enter on the execution of his office,” then either the Presidency shall devolve on the Vice President under Article 2 or the Vice President shall act as President under the 20th Amendment.  http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm 

Vice President Joe Biden already took his Oath of Office before Obama completed his oath at approximately 12:05 PM.  To top it all off , we are well aware of the flub in reciting the Oath by Justice Roberts.  The misspeak was a huge flub which led some to question the authority of Obama’s Presidency from the first moments. 

As commentator Ted has pointed out, “This is significant because at such time that the Supreme Court finally rules on the merits on Obama’s disqualification as not being an Article 2 “natural born citizen” (clearly he is NOT), [emphasis is Ted's] Biden’s automatic status (without needing to take a separate Presidential Oath) of being President would be predicated upon four different bases: First, having been Vice President under Article 2; second, having been Vice President-elect under the 20th Amendment; third, having been actual President in the hiatus before Obama took the ‘oath(s)’; and fourth, retroactively deemed President during the full period of the Obama usurpation so that the acts of the Federal Government under the usurpation can be deemed authorized and/or ratified by Biden’s legitimacy.”

Holy Batman, would Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi fill in as Vice President?  By law, I think Nancy Pelosi, but it would be a good cat fight.  Poor Joe Biden. 

All for naught.  Obama re-swore The Presidential Oath given by Justice Roberts a day later, and this time correctly- putting away any constitutional doubters.  They did this out of “ an abundance of caution.”

The only doubt remaining,  is Obama qualified under the the natural born citizen clause of The Constitution?  If Obama is not, Biden could be, on a technicality the 44th, 45th and 46th President, without even running a campaign. 

Hail to the Chiefs.

In an apparent attempt to actually enforce The Constitution, The Drudge Report is reporting that Justice Roberts re-administered the Oath of Office AGAIN to Obama in the map room of the White House.   http://www.drudgereport.com/flashoaa.htm

The original text of the swearing in of Senator- errr, president Obama can be found here at http://blogs.abcnews.com/theworldnewser/2009/01/the-inuagural-o.html

They did this out of “ an abundance of caution.”

Well golly gee, and thanks a million for upholding The Constitution.  Now- in our transparent government phase, Mr. President Obama, Sir-would you kindly provide proof that you are a natural born citizen and meet those qualifications of  The Constitution as well?

Mr. Berg may be able to assist you, as well as Justice Roberts with whom you have litigation pending in front of him at The Supreme Court.

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

“So how many Americans does it take to verify the birth status of POTUS-Elect Barrack Obama?

The world may never know! “

(Sorry Tootsie Pop but I have always loved that commercial with the little owl) 
http://readmylipstickprint.blogspot.com/2008/11/asleep-at-wheel.html 

Is it Constitutional Law or Common Law that dictates the qualification of a natural born citizen and eligibility to hold the office of President?  I don’t think the Supreme Court is certain who has standing in seeking out the true citizenship and authentic birth certificate of President Elect Obama.  SCOTUS will be gathering in conference this Friday, December 5, 2008 to find out.  The Supreme Court judges will hopefully not deviate from their responsibility, which is the strict interpretation of written law.  I hope they will allow both the Berg and Donofrio cases to proceed against the grain of popularity, and with the scale of justice.

Leo C Donofrio, SCOTUS Docket No. 08A407, Donofrio v. Wells, and recently Cort Wrotnowski, (SCOTUS Docket No. 08A469 lay in wait for review or dismissal at SCOTUS.  Berg hasn’t gone anywhere for the moment- from his SCOTUS appeal,

“Judge Surrick claimed
the DNC’s promises were not actually promises but
instead of statement of intentions. Judge Surrick
went on further claiming, “The ‘promises’ that
Petitioner identifies arc statements of principle and
intent in the political realm. They are not enforceable
promises under contract law. Indeed, our political
system could not function if every political message
articulated by a campaign could be characterized as
a legally binding contact enforceable by individual
voters. Of course, voters are free to vote out of office
those politicians seen to have breached campaign
promises and Federal courts, however, are not and
31
cannot be in the business of enforcing political
rhetoric.”

Ain’t that a kick in the pants?  It all goes back to the fact that if Philip J. Berg, American citizen, and former attorney general of Pennsylvania doesn’t have the “standing” to bring this type of lawsuit against Obama, then who in America does have standing? How is it that the lower court has decided that a citizen can not enforce there own Constitution in a court of law?

What the Judge missed is that Berg wasn’t challenging political rhetoric at all, he was and is, challenging Constitutional and Common Law that dictates who is eligible.  Berg’s filing to SCOTUS can be found here- http://www.sectalk.com/boards/showthread.php?t=62655&referrerid=1579

At the very least one hopes Berg’s case gets remanded back to the lower court who created this grave error in its ruling and at the very best scenario, The Supreme Court agrees to hear the case.

More filings are pouring in to lower and federal court to get to the bottom of Obama’s eligibility with Darrel Reese Hunter of Texas,  who ran as a Democratic Presidential nominee http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Darrel_Hunter.htm.   According to his financial records he didn’t have much success in fund raising, garnering merely $200 in support of himself.  http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/can_detail/P40003022/ . Daniel John Essek has also filed a demand that Obama provide a copy of his birth certificate.  http://www.essek4senate.org/ 

Essek and Hunter have put themselves out there for scrutiny, whatever there motives.  They as citizens, voters and wanna be elected officials, are pursuing fair competition for a fair election.  In all fairness to Obama, I haven’t seen their birth certificates either, but I’d bet they show you theirs if you showed them yours.  Don’t forget about Alan Keyes, former Reagan administration official, Ambassador and presidential candidate was among petitioners who filed an action last Thursday in the Superior Court of California seeking a court order enjoining Barack Obama’s California Electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until documentation showing the president-elect’s constitutional eligibility to serve as president is produced.  

 Keyes v Bowen, Superior Court, Sacramento, 34-2008-80000096-cu-wm-gds. Read it here. 

On other news from Hawaii http://www.earthfrisk.com/blog/?p=135#comment-7990  claims that none of HI hospitals have a record of birth for Obama.  In a most impressive compilation http://gto7.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/shocker-why-obama-will-not-be-president-in-january/ writes of the discrepancies in Hawaii law that may have allowed Obama and anyone else to obtain a Hawaiian birth certificate, even if he/she wasn’t born there. 

Shame, shame on Hawaii.  Is it still that easy to obtain a fraudulent birth certificate in Hawaii?  OMG- talk about a loophole in national security.   How can Governor Lingle in good conscious allow this to continue?  No wonder Andy Martin has been so persistent.  Here we have a government, capable of tracking our every move and it still issues documents to people born in foreign lands. 

“I’m a simple guy. Tell me what the rules are, apply those rules to everyone equally and I am a happy camper. However, if you tell me what the rules are, apply them to only some of us and throw them away when it suits you, I am not a happy camper.”

Humph, I am not happy and I don’t think another lick on my Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop is going to make a bit of difference.  Oh wait- isn’t Tootsie Roll HQ in Chicago?  Ah huh, another suspect in Obama’s circle of friends like Ayers and Rezko coming from Chicago.  I just bit into the tootsie roll part and lost a filling.  Go figure.
