In this country, someone can sue anybody anytime. The case does not have to have merit. Really, before you post, a quick check at fact check or snopes would allay your concerns, Here, I did one for you: FactCheck.org: Born in the U.S.A. |

Any idiot can, in this great country of ours, sue for anything they want. The mere fact that a law suit is filed means absolutely ZILCH! If this had any merit at all it would have been heard of long long long ago.

I've found this: America's Right: Obama Sued in Philadelphia Federal Court on Grounds he is Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency I haven't had a chance to read through it all yet, but apparently this Berg brings up something about Obama's adoption in Indonesia. I really can't say if it is a bunch of hooey or not. In the end. . .I'm not sure if it has any real bearing in the race.

It should be OBVIOUS to anyone even contemplating reading this that it is a ridiculous lawsuit and if there were ANY merit whatsoever it would have come out over 1-1/2 years ago when Mr. Obama declared himself a candidate. People are becoming afraid that Obama just very well might be the next President, are running scared and grasping at straws. Of course it is NOT true. But, keep on hoping it is...will make his win even more of a joy.

They're ignoring it because there's nothing there. The Washingtom Times is owned by the Moonies and they are staunchly Republican. Phillip J. Berg is a Hillary supporter and is the same man who spread rumors that Obama is a Muslim. So, yes, the MSM is ignoring the lawsuit and with good reason. |

Also a lawsuit had been filed agaisnt McCain too, for the same thing. snopes.com: Is John McCain a natural-born citizen of the U.S.? |

Well, you may wonder why it is still being discussed.. but let me explain something to you. I had JUST saw this on another message board and came here to ask this question after reading the documents in the lawsuit. There are MANY people who are just now hearing about this, and WILL question that he is not a citizen unless people like YOU, who support him or have the knowledge, are willing to share the truth and NOT just dismiss it because you know it is not true. This could cost him many votes if it is NOT discussed and backed with proof that he is a US Citizen. I may be voting for Mc Cain, but I try to be very fair in dealing with both sides. |
| ||||

What is sad is that so many people are willing to believe untruths without checking them out about Obama and will not even question something about Palin that should be questioned. Since you are on another board where you saw this and you sound fair, maybe you could point people to the snopes.com site where lots of things that have been spread by e mail have been debunked and found to be untrue. There they can find out which things about both candidates and the VP that are true and which are things are not.

Uh, Oh do Devinmom and MTT know you are challenging me to post to you? The difference here, Kathy is it is the truth that John McCain CANT raise his arms to use the computer. The fact that OhhGodd was asking about was whether Obama was born a US citizen. He was so what she heard was a lie. And that is what I was saying. You have to read the entire thing before you comment.

usnamom, I want to, but the snopes link does not discuss the issue of him being born in Kenya, not Hawaii, which is what the documents filed state. I will keep searching other links.and if I find one that addresses it, I will surely post it on the other website. Thanks.. |

I do not see any evidence that McCain is very bright. There is his academic record to go by which is rather dismal. Although McCain has permanent injuries from his time as a POW, he can most certainly use a cell phone. He has the ability to use a computer. |

| Quote:
His academic record? Man that's reaching back isn't it? I thought I read that he didn't apply himself-like a lot of young people at that age. Judge not lest ye be judged! You know his physical and intellectual limitations? WOW!!! |

| Quote:
Scroll down and you can see nice pictures of McCain using a cell. Yes, McCain Can Use Electronics What evidence do you have of McCain's mental prowess? Was it not knowing the borders of Iraq? His thinking that Spain is in South America? Confusing Sunni and Shia? Telling us that the fundamentals of the economy are strong? His choice of Palin? His plan for healthcare where all Americans are put into the open market and can no longer get insurance through their employer? I know. Was it when he said, "We are all Georgians." ? |
| ||||

Here all along I thought that it was speaking to McCain not being able to use the computer because of his age. You know, like we don't let my mother near my computer because not only does she say she dont know how to use it but we are afraid of what she will do when she is at it. I didnt really give it much thought to McCain's disablility until I read it here the other day that it was because he couldn't raise his arms???? I don't raise my arms much to use the computer but then again I don't know alll the ways to use a computer.

Whether some people like it or not...it is true there is a lawsuit (Philip J. Berg, Esq vs Obama). The court has not dismissed the case yet. |
| ||||
| Quote:
The lawsuit has not been dismissed, in all probability, because it wasn't served on Obama until 9/4/08. Courts don't dismiss lawsuits until someone makes a motion to do so. No one would make a motion until they're served and answer the suit. Once served, Obama has 30 days to answer. With all due respect to the original poster, this is all a bunch of right wing obfuscation. The only candidate running for president that was NOT born in the US was John McCain. You'll notice, however, that none of the liberals on this born are throwing up lies and BS about his citizenship, even though his status as "natural born citizen" is far more in debate than Obama's.

In regards to OP's original post...I'm sure if Obama was not elegible to be president, the GOP would have done something a long time ago. With the lawyers they have on staff I'm sure his nationality was checked and re-checked. I don't think it's an issue. But it is interesting.

Nothing you have posted for me has dealt with the Kenyan birth issue..so what is your point? So unless you can give me some proof that debunks the Kenyan birth theory, how can I do anything on this other website to show that this is not true??? You can't even show me it isn't true and you are a Dem. Unless, did I miss something? NO I did not post this to be malicious, I had a genuine question to ask those that are supposedly "in the know" if they knew what was going on. I was trying to be fair. Others have been helpful, but you have not helped me find what I am looking for and yet are the first person to post saying I am not searching out my answers. I have also not found anything to debunck this on my internet searches that "I do not do". The website, that you directed me to, only dealt with the birth certificate, nothing was stated about the supposed "Kenyan birth" LIke I said, maybe I missed something. I went through every link that was posted and also did my own searches. I honestly am tired of wasting time on this issue. Time will tell, and I believe, as Truble stated, the lawsuit will be dismissed. But, in the meantime, how much damage could be done to Obama and how many votes could he possibly lose over this issue? Already, on this website, they are trashing him because of this. I have no right to jump in and try to defend because I do not know the answer, and do not know if it is true or not. If you truly support Obama, instead of accusing me of not doing internet searches, why don't you just get out there and show with respect and dignity what the truth really is, instead of dancing around the issues and lacing your diatribes with contempt and criticism? How will you ever get anyone to listen to you? oh well. Last edited by ohhgodd; 09-22-2008 at 03:53 PM. |

Obama was not born in Kenya. Had he been born in Kenya, he would not have had a birth certificate issued from the state of Hawaii. The whole issue is ludicrous and a pure fabrication. Since you have stated that you are voting for McCain, isn't it pointless for you to ask questions about his opponent since the answers don't matter? Your motivation for posting this, and other, garbage remains suspect. Your feigned innocence isn't working with me. |

| Quote:
Where is your proof that he was not born in Kenya? Should I believe just because you say it isn't so? There are other people here who are more reputable than you are, and whom I would chose to believe well over your "spin". So, no proof, again. What is your response to the allegations that he was a citizen of Indonesia? I have read that his passport shows he was a citizen of Indoniesia. Isn't it true that a candidate for the Presidency could have never held citizenship in another Country, to be eligible? Why is his birth registered in Kenya (as I have read)? Do you have any proof that it is not? If all you want to spout off about is the garbage you think I post, then you have no leg to stand on in this debate. Please save room for those who will respectfully help to answer this question that I had in my OP. Suspect or not, at least I am asking questions and searching for facts from those that I feel might be able to debunck these rumors. |

I would agree that this post was not made to find answers, but to stir up the pot. It should be obvious to anyone that it this had any merit whatsoever, this would have come out long, long ago, would have come up in primaries, and definitely the GOP would be pouncing on this. What suits like this do is just place known false facts out there so that those who do not do research when they see the bull (though I do believe you have/are done research ohhgodd) is leave it at that and say, "see, I told you so" just to put another nail in the coffin they have already built

Obama did have an Indonesian stepfather and did live there. He did not have to give up his US citizenship to live in Indonesia. For instance, I lived in Germany as a child for a couple of years on an RAF base. I was never not a citizen. Now, why don;t you try and prove to me that McCain is a US citizen? Can't do it, can you? What problem is it you have with Obama's birth certificate? |
