Plaintiff Philip J. Berg alleged that Defendant Barack Obama is not eligible for the Office of the President because Obama lost his U.S. citizenship when his mother married an Indonesian citizen and naturalized in Indonesia. Plaintiff further alleged that Obama followed her naturalization and failed to take an oath of allegiance when he turned 18 years old to regain his U.S. citizenship status. The case was dismissed on October 24, 2008. http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-paedce/case_no-2:2008cv04083/case_id-281573/ Surrick dismissed the case, finding that Berg lacked standing to bring the suit because he did not face direct harm even if the allegations were true. http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/paperchase/2008/10/federal-judge-dismisses-obama.php I find this interesting the Obama would not just provide proof that he qualifies to be president.   I feel we all have the right to know.  What does he have to hide. So again who is this guy?  If he is going to be my president I have a right to know!! You say "His history is well documented.".  Please provide proof. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides concede is "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism." Obama only left the church after he was exposed. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=4443788 William Ayers and his connections to Barack Obama http://www.usnews.com/blogs/barone/2008/8/22/obama-needs-to-explain-his-ties-to-william-ayers.html G. Gordon Liddy is no William Ayers.  I do not agree with what Liddy did either. You say "And? He didn't even know that she was illegal." Might be true, might not be. We will never know. His wife said "....this is the first time I have been happy with America...". Yes it is quoted. Maybe she had just come from church and one of those "let's rebuild America" sermons that Reverend Wright was good a preaching. One thing I have learned in my life when there is so many questions something has to be going on. Why would someone that wants to pull America together sit in a church that spews hate??   I'm against the war also. Let me say it again. I voted for McCain because Obama scares me. I've provided many things that should cause you to take pause. I found this and you have to admit it does make you think A privileged African-American, who has not shared the black American experience By birth, blood and training, a Muslim, who has been a member of a Black-African church for 20 years A socialist whose politics are rooted in Marx and whose tactics were conceived by Alinsky A master at shaping his own mythology and completely unqualified to be Commander in Chief http://www.theobamafile.com/ ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Wed, 11/5/08, Thomas Cameron wrote: From: Thomas Cameron Subject: Re: We are screwed.

Do you honestly think that if he were not eligible it would take some quack out of Pennsylvania to uncover it? Do you *really* think that neither the DNC nor the RNC would have vetted this?

What records are you talking about? The Univeristy of Chicago records on his nonprofit educational work? Those records that he doesn't own or control? Again, I call complete bullshit on this crap. > I voted for McCain because I am afraid of Obama! Who is Obama? Were > did he come from? This is GOP misdirection and fearmongering and you should be ashamed of yourself for falling for it! He was born in Hawaii. His history is well documented. > What about that church were the pastor who preached > hate not reconstruction. The church that he resigned from? The statements that Obama disavowed? Try again, sparky. > Obama suposedly has terrorist ties. Show me anything other than that ridiculous stretch about Ayers (who has never actually been charged with a crime), which has been shown to be nothing other than them moving in the same circles, not "palling around" as Palin said. Fearmongering and deception again. In this vein, I guess McCain is a suspect because G. Gordon Liddy - a *convicted felon* - raised funds for him and invited McCain into his home! Bah! > He has an > illegal alien aunt. And? He didn't even know that she was illegal. Apparently she is a relative which he didn't even meet until he was an adult, and he was unaware that she was illegal. > What else do we not know about? Probably tons of stuff that, taken out of context like the rest of this Republican hate, could be misconstrued as scary. Anything substantive? Incredibly doubtful, especially after the Republican hate machine has had almost two years to assassinate his character and failed. > What about his wife saying "....this is the first time I have been happy > with America..." Obviously an unfortunate quote, but again horribly over-sensationalized. > I've always been proud of this country that I have > served on active duty, reserve duty, and within local government. What > has he done? Did he serve? Has he sacrificed? Um, he's done community advocacy work, taught Constitutional law (unlike Bush who has done much to erode Constitutional protections), practiced civil rights law, served in the Illinois senate, served in the US senate and is now the President-elect of the United States. Yeah, he's served. > What little we know about him scares me. What you *should* know but instead choose to ignore scares me. > I do not like what is going on in America. I did not support the > bailout nor do I think it will work. I just think McCain is much less > scary. I disagree. McCain is Bush's lapdog, and would have led more of the same pandering to and lining the pockets of the biggest bribers ^H^H^H^H^H campaign contributors. He'd have continued the assault on civil liberties. He wants to continue to kill off American boys prosecuting a war we waged on a sovereign nation based on lies. That scares me far worse than having a Constitutional scholar in office.
