How would such a "distraction" matter? If there is any validity to this
claim then Obama will have to be replaced on the ballot. Come back when
that happens. Word of advice...don't bet your double wide that will happen.

Obama's Kenyan Citizenship Expired

Now this is an interesting tidbit, given the longstanding questions and
controversy over Barack Obama's citizenship.

While Barack Obama was born in 1961 in Hawaii in 1961, given that his
father was Kenyan, and that Kenya was part of the British Empire at that
time, and Obama also spent a lot of time in various overseas countries
during his youth, there have been a lot of questions about Obama's real
citizenship.

It hasn't helped that the Obama campaign has been very tight-lipped over
the while thing, and even when a copy of Obama's birth certificate was
finally released a few months ago, there were many questions about it's
authenticity because it doesn't look like the typical birth certificate
of that period, and lacks some of the features one might expect on an
official document.

Still, it has come to be accepted by most as genuine.

Now Newsbusters points out an interesting admission on Obama's
question-fighting website called "Fight the Smears."

Along with a picture of the aforementioned birth certificate, this
particular web page on Fight the Smears lists a couple of "mainstream"
media sources (as if they had any special credibility anymore) which
make definitive pronouncements that Barack Obama is indeed an American
citizen.

What is interesting is that the citation from FactCheck.org says Obama
once also had Kenyan citizenship:


�When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a
British colony, still part of the United Kingdom�s dwindling empire. As
a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose
citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948.
That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.�s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an
oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically
expired on Aug. 4,1982.�

Here is a screen print of the citation on Fight the Smears (in case it
mysteriously "disappears"):

Now, there's nothing particularly shocking in this, in and of itself.
After all, the main issue is the American citizenship required by the
U.S. Constitution for a U.S. president, and there remains no significant
questioning that Obama does indeed meet this qualification.

Also, there are many Americans who have and have had dual citizenship; I
knew quite a few when I was in the military. So again, there is nothing
remarkable about that.

What is remarkable in this case is the tremendous amout of reticence and
hostility the Obama camp has shown toward this entire issue, when
questions about Obama's citizenship--given his father's foreign origin
and his overseas travels as a youth--have been valid concerns.

Also, while not an obstacle to service as president, the fact that we
could have a U.S. president who has held dual citizenship with another
country is, at the very least, interesting and noteworthy.

Obama hasn't done himself any favors playing the bunker mentality for
the past year or two, and this revelation may throw more kindling back
on the fires of those who have doubts about him.

One also has to wonder, given that the "mainstream" media has totally
thrown any pretense of objectivity out the window long ago during this
election, what the reaction might be if such a fact came out about John
McCain or Sarah Palin.

Would we hear the same crickets we now hear about Barack Obama, or would
it be a chorus of howling timber wolves, as we have heard over
earth-shattering revelations such as a 20+-year old DUI by Todd Palin or
a pregnant daughter?

I think the answer is pretty obvious.

The first link does not work. The second simply says a motion was

So far we have:

A poster who thinks a magistrate and a federal judge are the same
posting a link claiming that a court had ordered Obama to produce a
birth certificate when,in fact, a judge had denied the request.

Another poster with a link to newsbusters that says his citizenship
had "expired" and saying "most" people think the claim is genuine. The
same poster then wonders if I understand English and as "proof"posts a
link to the court the only shows that suit had been filed. Asked to
explain this the poster can only reply with the newsbusters story over
and over.

Okay, that's the way I read it as I was about to go check. So that
effectively would amount to an order to produce not just the birth
certificate but the other two things:

So they're saying, based on FactCheck.org, that the "best" case scenario
for Obama is that he had dual Kenyan citizenship until he let it expire at
age 21. Since everyone knows his father was Kenyan, I don't see that
as having any impact. He had no control at all over any of that.

So this argument really doesn't have anything to do with the birth
certificate per se, and whether or not the copy released has legitimate
questions that surround it. Even assuming the birth certificate is entirely
legit and not something generated after his mother gave birth to him in
Kenya, Berg still argues there's a problem because...

Obama later became a naturalized Indonesian citizen through application
of his step father at the time, and that that means he had to have his U.S.
citizenship restored (when Obama was about 10 years old), through an
application from his mother that Berg says was never filed.

Assuming there's anything to that argument, might the worst case
scenario be that he could still formally file the application now, on the
basis that it was a technicality that he simply was never aware of? That
would still be pretty fatal to his candidacy I think, so I guess the key
issue here is whether Berg's argument has legal merit. The mention
of him as "Attorney Philip J. Berg, the former head of the Montgomery
County Pennsylvania Democratic Party and a former member of the


Democratic State Convention and, reportedly a Hillary Clinton

supporter" also removes the Republican Dirty Tricks argument, so
I'm wondering how the mainstream media gets away with not picking
up this story at this point. If his specific argument hasn't been ruled
on anywhere previously and it's reached the stage where discovery
has been ordered, then conceivably there will be rulings and appeals
on this all the way up the line to the Supreme Court perhaps, if
Obama can't produce that Certificate of Citizenship.

There was a similar issue surrounding McCain being born in the
Panama Canal Zone, but that one was settled by a Supreme Court
ruling years ago in another case that clearly applies. There would
have to be cases similar to Obama's that went up to the Supreme
Court, or perhaps an appellate court ruling upholding citizenship that
SCOTUS declined to hear an appeal on.

Nothing on that site but the Washington Times reports the origin
of the story at the end of August:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/aug/28/lawsuit-questions-obamas-eligibility-for-office/

So it's apparently the PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) Hillary
supporters who initiated this and hired Berg, who's described
as a former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania.

Since then it's basically been procedural delays, but if it's true the
discovery order was given requiring production of those three
documents, within three days, then that was yesterday or earlier
if the article dates in the posts upthread are correct.

The Washington Times article also refers to McCain's issue and
has a comment about there being no precedent for testing that
for any presidential candidate. But again I recall reading about
this and there is a Supreme Court case that establishes very
clearly that McCain is a U.S. citizen. It had to do with children
or American parents stationed overseas (military, diplomats, etc.)
That's not the case with these Obama allegations.

But now here's a site that says there has been no ruling as of
almost 48 hours ago:

http://www.obamacrimes.com/

So that may be a reason why FOX hasn't picked it up yet.

As of 48 hours ago. There is enough evidence to back up that Obama
made a motion for dismissal and Berg responded.

The thing about this one is that it immediately catches your eye, yet
it's the first I've heard of it and that's mystifying because I follow this
stuff a fair bit. I knew Obama had the Kenyan father who left, and
then the Indonesian stepfather and he lived there for a while using
his stepfather's surname. I knew there was some school or similar
document that listed him as Muslim (and that Indonesia has the
largest Muslim population in the world, so that's not unusual). I
knew, or at least thought it was not in dispute, that he was born
in Hawaii and then returned there as still a boy, and was raised
by his grandparents (or at least grandmother, who he'd talked
about and is still alive but not well enough to travel). I'd read
(or seen in a report) that he had a half brother in Kenya who was
supposedly living in poverty.

I haven't seen any of the Barack Obama biographies or read his
book, nor did I see the "Obama Chronicles" that O'Reilly did in
installments on FOX. I typically skipped over that or switched
channels during that, because I'd already picked up all the other
stuff mentioned in this paragraph and probably a lot more. I also
remember at least one and maybe a couple of mainstream media
articles on McCain's situation -- being born in the Panama Canal
Zone (his father and grandfather were Admirals).

But this issue of Obama's citizenship being questioned I find rather
astounding. One would think this would have been definitively
proven and forever not in dispute long before now. I know what
hospital I was born in, and it's the same one my sister was born
in. Surely Obama must know and there must be a record of that
that isn't just some re-issued attestation of some sort. Likewise
confirmation of whether there are Kenyan records suggesting he
was born there, and confirmation of the three(?) family members
there saying he was born in Kenya. Same with the sister giving
the two different hospital names. The press was sending their
legions up to Wasilla to dig up the most obscure dirt on Palin,
the New York Times running four front page stories a day. I
suspect Kenya is almost as close to their offices as Alaska is,
and this gets to his very eligibility to be President. It seems to
me it needs to be proven beyond any doubt, not stonewalled.

Okay, so the distance is more than double (3,360 vs 7,364 miles,
so almost 4,000 miles different :-)) The Times could have sent

Since Barack Obama has not been denied the right to campaign for the
Office of POTUS, however, it may fairly be reckoned that he has produced
his birth certificate, and has been found to be a legitimate US citizen.
Right now, it is past all deadlines, and he's still in the race. Sorry,
but the McCain campaign is doomed. Hell, isn't it?

There is no law stating that speed is a requirement.

Im sure Justice is "investigating" and as such, is not required to
seek an indictment or presentation before a grand jury, or a Finding.

doesnt really when anything
the court was asked to settle a question
it believes it has the authority to answer
it needs facts to decide its answer
so it is in the process of discovering relevant facts

there is no court of presidential qualifications
there are requirements but no explicit mechanism to verify them
if the matter was ever disputed
it would probably be left to congress
as part of its role as judge of elections in early january

> Right now, it is past all deadlines, and he's still in the race. Sorry,

they are actually campaigning for a slate of electors in each state
the electors vote in december or january (whatever)
and it is they who elect the president
they are pledged to a candidate but they can actually vote for anyone

then the new congress meets in early january to accept that result
or to elect the president themselves if necessary
all this is completed by 20 january and the inauguration

That site is apparently actually run by the Plaintiff Mr. Berg, the
former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, and seems to
be specifically dedicated to this case. The sub-title of the site is
"Is Obama a Natural Born Citizen?" and one part of the main
page from a few days ago says they've received more than 17
million hits.

I'll add that the dismissal motion goes back to September 15 and Berg
made the counter-filing to that on September 29. So my guess is it'll be
another week perhaps before the ruling comes back. All the documents
are linked to from the main page and I haven't read them beyond the
excerpts posted upthread, but apparently one of the bases of Obama's
motion for dismissal is that Berg doesn't have standing. Couple of things
about that, just conceptually. First, I'd be surprised if a judge said that
a U.S. Citizen wouldn't have standing in challenging the qualifications of
a Presidential nominee. I understand that it's technically electors from
each state who cast the vote, but still I think a judge would be inclined
to allow the case to proceed especially here. Second, it just looks bad,
once details like this get out into a wider sphere, that Obama is trying
to stonewall rather than just adopt a nothing at all to hide, 100%
complete disclosure policy that ought to be able to settle the matter.

As I mentioned in a followup, Kenya's actually more than twice as
far away from New York as Alaska is, 4,001 miles further away
according to one source. But I mentioned/joked that the Times
[or any of the liberal mainstream media] could send half the crew
they did to Wasilla to try to dig up dirt on a VP candidate. Here
it's the highest-stakes issue of literal qualifications to be president,
and the Plaintiff a former deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania
with a plausible case initiated by the PUMA Hillary supporters.

Consider as well that this was 1961, and that a few years later
Obama's mother moved Barack to Indonesia with the new man
she'd married (who was Obama's stepfather). So obviously she
at that time didn't consider U.S. residency for Barack as an
overriding consideration. Presumably, she had a good faith
intent at that point to spend the rest of her life in Indonesia and
Obama's life would have taken a completely different turn. So
it's entirely plausible that she may have also gone back to Kenya
with her first(?) husband and Barack's father before the birth.

Along with all the other allegations including the Kenya account
and documents, and doubts about the Hawaii evidence and the
sister's conflicting account about what hospital he was born at,
it's the kind of issue that cries out for intense investigation. It
doesn't necessarily require any believe that Obama himself is
covering anything up. Conceivably, he was indeed born in
Kenya but his mother registered the birth in Hawaii if for no
other reason than to better pave the way for Obama being an
American citizen. Then when the Kenyan father left for good
two years later, the Indonesian stepfather enters the picture
and she moves to Indonesia. That, according to Berg's case,
introduces the new wrinkle where even if the birth in Hawaii
(as opposed to Kenya) is genuine, Obama citizenship status
was effectively altered by that and his mother would have had
to apply for those other documents upon returning to Hawaii.
All this could have happened without Obama having had any
knowledge that his citizenship was uncertain.

Someone mentioned or speculated whether DOJ would have
to be involved and investigating this. The case only appeared
at the end of August, perhaps a few weeks after the document
or "birth certificate" was produced by the Obama camp but
the authenticity of which is being challenged. Now the new
angle about the Indonesian citizenship's effect apparently only
appearing with the Berg filing on September 29 only five days
ago. A few days ago, there was a cryptic "October Surprise"
comment made by one of the talking heads. It wasn't in the
context of capturing or killing Osama bin Laden, nor of that
Troopergate non-issue that Palin faces. But IIRC it was in
the context of McCain's poll numbers being down and what
are his chances of recovering.

After learning of this issue (again, first I've heard of it was just
yesterday seeing the original post; same with David Johnston
and others perhaps), I'm wondering if that talking head was
alluding to this with the October Surprise remark. It strikes
me as inherently the kind of thing that is difficult to completely
resolve, especially with the Indonesian angle. This is unlike
the issue of "Muslim" being on that Indonesian school or other
document, which no one except the far right loons much cared
about. It has nothing to do with religion or race. People get
it as the citizenship rule that prevents Arnie and many others
from ever being President. Just the fact that there's a plausible
case being set out by not a household name but still a fairly
prominent Democrat in Pennsylvania, at the behest of some
disaffected Hillary supporters, is a revelation. Everyone's
been told he was born in Hawaii as if that and his citizenship
was 100% fact and beyond question.

Feel free to post anything more current,especially any evidence of the
claim that started this thread, that a judge ordered Obama to produce
the document. So far all we have seen is:

A post confusing a federal judge with a magistrate.
A spurious web site.
A third party site.
The web site of the court which has no mention of this "order".

Just a rare (for me) top post to add a link dated today:

http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=76933

It provides some more info direct from the Plaintiff source, including
their intent to go the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court if necessary.
Looks like this isn't going away, and the Washington Post and Obama's
web sites attesting it ain't so won't be sufficient. The DNC also being
involved in trying to make it go away just makes it smell even worse.

The balance below is all from the last round.

Yes, they are. Just look at McCain...he was born in Panama. If Obama is
not a citizen, then neither is McCain.

McCain is in that latter situation because his father was an Admiral and
McCain was born at the Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone.
In fact the Panama Canal was even under American control at the time.

Obama is in a different situation. Neither of his parents were American
diplomats or military stationed overseas. His father was Kenyan, and
some time after he left Obama's mother married an Indonesian man and
went with him and her son to Indonesia. So there are actually two levels
of challenge to Obama's citizenship...

First, Berg is challenging the proof that he was born in Hawaii, citing
evidence that he was actually born in Kenya and then his mother
registered the birth in Hawaii.

Second, the move to Indonesia included what Berg says was Barack's
parents, specifically the stepfather, effectively applying for and receiving
on Barack's behalf Indonesian citizenship for him. The exact mechanism
for that happening I haven't seen described, but apparently it was a fait
accompli based on a document that indicated that. Under citizenship
laws in effect at the time, Berg says that effectively gave up Obama's
U.S. citizenship UNLESS his mother filed the appropriate application
and received a certificate of citizenship for Barack upon their return to
Hawaii.

At least that's the way it's being described based on what's out there.
I just learned about it yesterday, and on the face of it it seems to me
that there's a plausible case here that needs addressing.

No, again McCain's father was an Admiral and John was born at the Naval
Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone, which was then under U.S. control.
There was a U.S. Supreme Court case (I don't have the citation) that was
very clear in upholding citizenship of children born in such circumstances,
where the parents served abroad. The case did not relate specifically to a
Presidential candidate, but there's no reason a Presidential candidate would
be discriminated against on this issue. His citizenship would be upheld by
any lower court and the appeals courts would probably decline to hear it
because it's that crystal clear.

Obama's situation is different. In 1986 there was a change that allowed
any birth to one U.S. parent to qualify the child for citizenship:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_nationality_law#Through_birth_abroad_to_one_United_States_citizen

But again that was 1986 and even today there's mention of having to
register with a U.S. consulate or embassy to prove it.

The full wiki on U.S. Citizenship is here:

Palin raised taxes. It was in essence a windfall profit tax, although

That attempted "defense" becomes conspicuous in its own right,
because it gets to the procedural delays of Obama and the DNC.
Nobody who learns of this is interested in how successful Obama
and the DNC have been in their stonewalling, or arguing that Berg
has no standing. They're interested in Berg's, the Plaintiff and
former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania's case, and
the various evidence and issues that Obama hasn't addressed.

Again, I didn't know about this until yesterday and it sounded like
David Johnston and others in the thread hadn't either. One quote
from Berg estimates that 90% or so of the American people know
nothing about it yet, but they're finding out. A few hours ago I
took a look at the Obama site (Fight the Smears) that supposedly
refuted all this. It does NOTHING of the sort, not even close.
It has a scan of a document that's laughably ineffective at proving
anything. Anyone could concoct it and post it. It has a blacked
out serial number and no signature or date. Even if it did there'd
still be all kinds of questions surrounding it and steps that would
have to be taken to prove its authenticity. But it doesn't even
come close to being a sham proof.

Fortunately for the Obama site, there's also a factcheck.org page
that tries its best to offer further support, but in the process it only
admits some deficiencies and fails to address most of the evidence
and issues raised in Berg's case. (I'd also dismissed factcheck.org
more than two weeks ago as a reliable objective and independent
judge of anything, but that's another issue).

Factcheck.org says they reviewed the document at Obama's
campaign office of all places. It'd be funny if it wasn't a serious
issue. They have an August 2007 date and signature stamp.
They concede this isn't the "long form" birth certificate that the
hospital (which they don't name) is supposed to have. They
say they don't know why Hawaii doesn't offer that. They show
a Honolulu paper classified entry 9 days after the birth, that
doesn't mention the hospital or even say "in Honolulu". So it's
actually entirely consistent with the Berg allegation that Obama's
mother registered the birth in Hawaii after returning.

It's only a month to the election and who knows maybe Obama
can make it to the finish line stonewalling this. He has virtually
the entire mainstream media as his proxies (the biggest scandal
of this election campaign). But if Berg has or is about to get
the discovery order he's asked for, or failing that gets the
appeal court to let this go forward as it should, then I think
the floodgates will open and the 10-90 awareness will flip
to 90-10 within a week. Apart from the merit -- the various
evidence and issues raised by Berg -- the stonewalling to
date will itself be damning.

It'd probably also play into the character issue that I think
McCain-Palin are right to focus on over the next month. The
Obama campaign is obsessed with trying to connect McCain
to Bush, which is bogus but even if it wasn't it's a heck of a
lot better than the long list of associations Obama has. I
saw another one the other day that I hadn't been aware of,
and this citizenship issue also brings back the one about the
half-brother living in poverty in Kenya (and the half sister
giving two different hospital names). If it's true that there's
evidence of Kenyan relatives saying he was born there, it
again reinforces the serious character doubts because it's
less likely that Berg's allegations could be true and Obama
be totally surprised by it. Almost as a matter of fact at this
point, it seems his best credible position is "Well, as far as
I always knew I was an American citizen, and I just don't
want the questions and issues in Berg's case to surface
because I'm not sure I can answer those..."

It doesn't come close to addressing the evidence and issues raised in
Berg's case.

http://google.com/group/alt.fan.rush-limbaugh/msg/bd363ad5c9c6b584

It ought to be a simple matter, for starters, to establish what hospital
Obama was born at and check the actual record of birth. Any kind
of re-issued attestation is insufficient to refute Berg's case, which is
actually twofold but on this point he alleges that Obama's mother
gave birth to him in Kenya and she registered the birth in Hawaii.

The document factcheck.org looked at is dated 2007 and has other
questions surrounding it. Berg also cites evidence like Obama's half
sister giving at least two different hospitals as the one Obama was
born in, and Kenyan relatives saying Obama was born there, and
some documentation in Kenya indicating that.

Let's stipulate that all of Berg's case remains to be proven, including
his argument on Obama's Indonesian citizenship and what effect that
has on his U.S. Citizenship. But that's the whole point of having it
heard in a court. Instead of allowing that, Obama and the DNC are
attempting to stonewall and if they get the case dismissed it will be
on a technicality not on the merits. Then, according to Berg, it'll be
appealed. If Obama wins, the RNC or others will probably raise
the same challenges before electors vote. I wouldn't rule out this
issue being raised before that by McCain-Palin, on the campaign
trail or in the last debate where it would have the widest viewership.

Or a mainstream enough publication will pick it up and provide
cover for introducing it. By then a major part of the story will be
the ongoing stonewalling, and along with all the other character
questions surrounding Obama that will have been pounded away
at this month it'll add up.

The issue here is to refute the Berg allegation that Obama's birth
was simply registered by his mother after she returned to Hawaii.
Have a Democrat and Republican and an impartial person with
some document expertise attend at the hospital or wherever its
archived records have ended up at. Inspect the document(s) and
attest or certify that they clearly record the birth itself taking place
in that hospital in Hawaii. Obviously the record should look like
it was from 1961 and be similar to other birth records of the era.

There might still be challenges if Kenyan testimony and records
exist that he was born there, and the Indonesian citizenship issue
would remain to be dealt with. But at least the Obama side would
have more than a 2007 document that does nothing to address
Berg's case. It's the source records that are key.

Q: Who is eligible for a COOSN?

A: Kookologists with 10 or more verifiable UV points may exchange these
points for a Cabal Obsidian Order Sombrero Number.

Q: Who is *not* eligible for a COOSN?

A: Certified net.kooks; notorious net.cretins; terminally clueless
fuckwits; previous winners of kook-awards, unless an official pardon has
been granted by the FNVW.

Q: How do I apply for a COOSN?

A: Make a Usenet post to alt.usenet.kooks (crossposting to your favourite
newsgroups is acceptable); to ensure that the FNVW actually sees your
request, try to use either of the following formats for the subject line:

[COOSN Application] Your name (or best known handle) here
[COOSN Request] Your name (or best known handle) here

Please provide a list of 10 UV points - along with verifiable evidence for
each point wherever possible.

Q: Can one Kookologist nominate *another* Kookologist for a COOSN?

A: Yes, but the proposer should supply a verifiable list of 10 UV points
for the nominee at the time of the nomination. Also, the nominee must
accept the nomination before a COOSN is issued.

Q: What happens if my Sombrero Number application is refused by the FNVW?

A: The Office of Darth Bawl is always looking for new candidates. Nuff
said.

Q: What are "UV points"?
1. Threats of violence, especially death. (one point per kook)
2. Lists, i.e. *real* lists, not just mentions of two or three names in
the same post. One list per kook, unless the lists are clearly meant to
serve different purposes.
3. Fanboi sites (one point per kook, not one point per site. Minimum
qualification is a whole page about you; pages containing lists don't
score extra if the list also appears on Usenet).
4. Fanboi newsgroups (one point per kook, not one point per group)
5. Attempts at real-life contact (e.g. posting phone numbers)
6. Fake awards, revenge nominations etc. (one point per kook)
7. Mentions in a newsgroup FAQ (e.g. soc.men).
8. Being the target of a Kooksuit (one point per kook).

Oops for you again. The case was brought by a guy who's much more a
left winger like you, on behalf of the PUMA Hillary supporters. As with
your response though, the main issue is that Obama and the DNC are
stonewalling rather than addressing the substance of Berg's case. Not
only is this not foolishness, it becomes more and more conspicuous that
they aren't nuking this with proof that refutes it.
