Hillary aint backing down without a fight...

---

A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed
suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the
Democratic National Committee. The action seeks an injunction
preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order
enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that
Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the
office of President of the United States.

Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and
senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in
Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State
Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania.
According to Berg, he filed the suit--just days before the DNC is to
hold its nominating convention in Denver--for the health of the
Democratic Party.

"I filed this action at this time," Berg stated, "to avoid the obvious
problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues
after Obama is nominated.".

Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois
senator's background, and in today's lawsuit maintained that Sen.
Obama is not a naturalized U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he
lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites
what he calls "dual loyalties" due to his citizenship and ties with
Kenya and Indonesia.

Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing
the senator's use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii
verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts,
the issue of "multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and
allegiance to other countries" remains on the table.

In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not
in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to
the lawsuit, Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was
prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her
pregnancy, "apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a
flight." As Sen. Obama's own paternal grandmother, half-brother and
half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham--
Obama's mother--gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently
flew to Hawaii to register the birth.

Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama's birth, including
reports that he was born at two separate hospitals--Kapiolani Hospital
and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing
records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple "registry of birth"
records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records
office.

Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws
on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may
only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-
citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen.
Obama's mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S.
citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be
registered as a "natural born" citizen and would therefore be
ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of
the United States Constitution.

Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed "natural
born," that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his
mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham
married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he
possesses copies of Sen. Obama's registration to Fransiskus Assisi
School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered
under the name "Barry Soetoro" and his citizenship listed as
Indonesian.

The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit,
the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery,
has been identified as such by three independent document forensic
experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama's
half-sister.

"Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were
defrauded by Sen. Obama's lies and obfuscations," Berg stated. "If the
DNC officers ... had performed one ounce of due diligence we would not
find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from
making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child
and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as
prescribed by constitutional laws."

"It is unfair to the country," he continued, "for candidates of either
party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability
to serve if elected."

Hey I've been munching on popcorn ever since the primaries started. It will
be interesting to see who the new puppet for the Military Industrial complex
will be.

So what will happen if Obama is found ineligible. Will the Democrats have to
have a revote?

He isn't ineligible.

But hypothetically, if he were, they would just nominate someone else (i.e.
Hillary). No revote.

I also never thought I would see the day when Hillary would actually be a
safer choice than Obama but she is.I had a feeling she wouldnt just give up
without a fight.

It's becoming a situation akin to when the Reps nominated Gerry Ford instead
of Ronald Reagan in '76.

The Dems are going to realize they made a mistake (if they haven't already).
Hillaryous will do everything she can to make sure they can correct it in
'12.

It is comical to watch all the office-holding Dems I see on TV trying to
defend SOdumba's "record". As though he even has one. The guy is a totally
empty suit, not ready for primetime and if he wins, it will reflect very
badly on the ability of "hype" to sway the American public.

Personally, I'm surprised that Obama thinks he'll get unity by having a
roll call vote with her name in nomination.
Wounds....rubbing....salt....even if he does get his "united hands in
the air" picture at the end.

Won't matter. The only real unity is if his choice for Veep is that
bitch Hillary, and then we all know who we'll be choosing between
then, because Obama will even be more a dead man walking than he is
now.

Not beinga Democrat or Republican I cant say who they should elect but I
still cant help thinking nominating Obama was a mistake. Not even Hillary
has so much dirty laundry.

While I don't (and haven't) credited this smear as likely, just let me
put in this caveat about official records. Do you really think all the
female Chinese gymnasts at the Olympics were over 16 years of age?
