I can’t believe that I have to write about this again folks. Today I have to get back to the subject of Barack Obama’s right to be President again. This is not something that I personally care to discuss. However it continues to be a topic of conversation amongst my peers in the political blogosphere, and with some of my more politically motivated friends and associates.
The basic premise of all of their arguments is that Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen, and therefore cannot hold the office of the President of the Untied States. Now we have to reexamine this all one more time so let’s get it over with shall we?
The big argument I hear the most when it comes to Barack Obama’s eligibility or ineligibility is that he was not born in the United States and as a result of this fact he cannot hold the office of President of the United States. If he truly was not born in the US then he does not meet the qualifications required to be President.
Another argument that I have heard for Obama’s ineligibility is the fact that his father was a citizen of the United Kingdom. This would apply to his lack of qualifications because a natural born citizen’s parentage would both be born in the US. At one time on Obama’s own website it was stated that Barack Obama considered himself a citizen of the United Kingdom.
Yet another argument against Obama’s eligibility is the time he spent in Indonesia as a youth. At the time f Obama’s residency in that country which was roughly from 1967 to 1972 Indonesia did not recognize dual citizenships. To attend school in that country you had to be a citizen of Indonesia. Obama’s school records clearly indicate that he was a citizen of Indonesia as well as a Muslim. If what I have just said is true then the best that Barack Obama can hope for is to be a naturalized US citizen.
Now I will tell you that all of this could be cleared up simply by Barack Obama presenting his supposed original Hawaiian Birth Certificate for authentication. Obama himself even stated that he hoped all of this controversy could be cleared up by presenting the document, which Obama has said that he did, but some people say otherwise.
Now some will say that he presented a Certificate of Live Birth from the State of Hawaii and not a Birth Certificate. Obama says that it is his birth certificate. I even have friends in Hawaii who agree with Obama and they are conservative Republicans not liberal Democrats. According to sources under Hawaiian law if your parents reside in Hawaii for a period of one year they can apply for and receive a Certificate of Live Birth from the state. All this means is that you were born live but it does not mean that you were born in Hawaii or in the US.
According to the US Constitution Article two clause 5 (Qualifications for Office) reads as follows. “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.” Article two clause 5 states these further requirements also:
By the time of their inauguration, the President and Vice President must be:
• natural born citizens (or citizens at the time of the Constitution's adoption)
• at least thirty-five years old
• Inhabitants for at least fourteen years of the United States.
Now it appears that the Supreme Court of the United States is scheduled to hear the case Leo C, Donofrio v. Nina Mitchell Wells, Secretary of the State of New Jersey-US Supreme Court Docket No. 08A407. The date for this hearing is December 5th, 2008. The case was originally sought pre election to have the names of Barack Obama, John McCain, and Roger Calero New Jersey ballots, and for a stay of the national election pending a review by The US Supreme Court of the candidate’s eligibility as pertains to being Natural Born Citizens under Article Two of the constitution. Incidentally this case is being heard just ten days before the Electoral College meets.
I hope that when the US Supreme Court hears this case and rules on it that they get it right. If Obama can legally prove that he has the right to be on New Jerseys ballot, and the right to be our President then the sore losers need to shut up, let it go, and soldier on. If it is legally proven that Obama cannot be on New Jerseys ballots, or President of the United States then he needs to shut up, let it go, and soldier on out of the way. He should also face federal charges for attempting to defraud and deprive the nation and its people of a legitimate President.
I also hope that this is the last time I have to discuss this topic with you. It is a very business attempting to steal a presidency. I for one don’t think that this is the case; however it isn’t up to me to decide. It is up to those nine Supreme Court Justices sitting on the bench of the US Supreme Court to decide if there was any wrong doing. I hope you all have a good day and I will see you all soon, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
The topic for discussion today is the legitimacy or lack there of of an Obama Presidency should he be elected. I was not going to write about this subject today but I keep getting emails and information from certain political groups that I have an association with regarding this subject. the reason for this line of questioning from some political groups and private citizens revolves around his supposed lack of US citizenship. As you might already know you can't become President of the United States if you were not born in the US.
There is a serious question about Obama's birth certificate. Some say that it is not a birth certificate. The reason some people are challenging this document is the fact the it has no official seal stamp from the State of Hawaii upon it and that it says it is a certificate of live birth, which is not the same thing as a birth certificate. Add to this the fact that his maternal grandmother in Kenya says that she was at the hospital in Kenya the day that he was born there. If that is true then he would not be a natural born US citizen, unlike John McCain who was born in a military hospital in the Panama Canal Zone which was a US territory at the time, which makes him a natural born US citizen.
There is also the fact the due to the second marriage of his mother to an Indonesian national who took Obama to Indonesia where he attended school for four years. The reason this is important is because during the years that Obama was there Indonesia didn't allow for dual citizenship and to attend school there you had to be an Indonesian citizen. the only way for Obama to then become a US citizen would have been for him upon entering the US to become a naturalized citizen of the US. Naturalized citizen is not the same thing as natural born citizen.
I personally believe that Barack Hussein, Obama is in fact a US citizen. However I would like to have an answer to the question of his birth certificate to. But since Obama refuses to release any of his personal records such as his medical records, Harvard records, Columbia records or his Occidental college records i don't think he will answer the question, at least not right now.
There is currently a law suit brought by Phillip Berg the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania and a life long Democrat active in the party and a former candidate in many state senate an gubernatorial races. The law suit currently in Federal court challenging Obama's citizenship is asking for the release of all relevant documents and there is also currently a motion to dismiss from Obama's attorney's in the suit. The judge does not have to grant the motion to dismiss and can order discovery. That would force Obama to release all relevant documents. Obama's legal team is currently waiting on a decision to their requested motion and is hoping to stall everything till after the election.
That is all I have for you today. You will have to look at all the evidence and decide what you believe. I am including the photo of the certificate of live birth and a video emailed to me from a friend of mine that prompted this post i hope you watch it. Have an awesome day and CIAO4NOW!!!!!
P.S. I still don't know what you folks want me to write about on Friday so don't be shy and let me know.
