I must admit that I have gotten caught up in the “Birth Certificate” issue since The One produced a doctored Certificate of Live Birth, (yet no real vaulted BC), and then sent his army of lawyers to stop all court cases dead in their tracks. It seemed like the issue of validity, and I know quite a few people focused on it, yet it is probably the very diversion The One is seeking to throw everybody else off the track of the real issue; The One’s British Citizenship at birth.
I must admit that I was wrong about chasing The One’s Birth Certificate, because, as Leo Donofrio so eloquently states, it does not matter. What does matter is these statements from Leo Donofrio; the facts so to speak:
I have REPEATEDLY stated that Obama can release a golden birth certificate signed by 100 gazzillion witnesses embossed in gold leaf that he was born on the mall in Washington DC and it still wouldn’t make him a “Natural Born Citizen” under the Constitution because he was, regardless of where he was born, a BRITISH citizen “at birth.” Since he was “born” as a British citizen/subject, his United States citizenship was not “natural”. …
There is no dispute about Obama’s parentage. His father was a British Citizen, and his mother was a United States citizen. Therefore, Obama was both a subject/citizen of the British monarchy as well as a United States citizen “at birth”. His place of birth won’t change that no matter where he was born.
MISTAKE 1: the headline is completely misleading on two fronts “Anti-Obama bloggers challenge birthplace”
If Mr. Montogmery had done the slightest bit of research, he might have found my application now before the SCOTUS. That application firmly argues that John McCain was not eligible to be President along with Roger Calero and Barack Obama. Anyone following this story knows I have handled McCain’s decision to run – and the Senate’s faux resolution saying he could run – with very harsh treatment. McCain is not a natural born citizen since he was born in Panama and, despite popular belief, (as per the Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual 1116.1-4(c)) the military base there was NOT US soil. Calero was born in Nicaragua and also is not a natural born citizen like Obama who was a British citizen at birth.
Montgomery’s report fails to point any of this out opting for the more salacious headline. The headline is bunk, but hopefully not intentional bunk. We shall see.
MISTAKE 2: My lawsuit before the United States Supreme Court is not focused on challenging Obama’s place of birth. I have repeatedly, in interview after interview, as well as in the actual application submitted to the Court, asserted my belief that Obama was probably born in Hawaii and that I expect to see him eventually produce a solid birth certificate which puts these other law suits to rest.
My original lower court suit mentions the BC issue as an ancillary matter in that the person I sued, the New Jersey Secretary of State, should have, at the very least, requested to see Obama’s BC. But that is not a core issue in my case. And I have publicly criticized those who brought law suits but failed to nail the main issue – that Obama can never be a natural “born” citizen – even if he was born on the mall in DC with two million witnesses, since, at the time of his birth, he was “born” as a British citizen/subject.
As anybody with even the slightest hint of awareness knows, my law suit is challenging Obama’s eligibility on the fact that he has admitted he was a British citizen “at birth”. His own web site told me so. And factcheck.org backed it up with their analysis of Britain’s Nationality Act of 1948. Montgomery cites factcheck.org as a “nonpartisan” source so he should have been aware that same source has confirmed that Obama was a British citizen “at birth” through his Father.
My law suit correctly points out that the framers would never have sanctioned somebody born as a British subject/citizen for President of the United States.
Is The One’s British citizenship at birth the reason for the following unavailability of standard paperwork? (From the AMAZING Uppity Woman on August 2, 2008)
Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean Senator Obama, sir. Um……I know you are busy and important and stuff. I mean running for president is very important and….
…..ah………I hate to bother you. I will only take a minute ok, sir?
See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
Hey, you have a nice place here! The wife sees houses like this on TV all the time and says boy she wishes she had digs like this you know? is that painting real? Really??? Wow. I saw something like that in a museum once!
Oh, sorry sir. I didn’t mean to get off the track. So if you could just help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island? No, I didn’t think so…….
Well, listen, anyways, I can’t seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be “locked” or “not available’. I’m sure it’s just some oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are….. I….I…. have them written down here somewhere….oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I’ll just read it to you.
Could you help me please find these things, sir?
Your Occidental College records Your Columbia College records Your Columbia Thesis paper Your Harvard College records Your Selective Service Registration Your medical records Your Illinois State Senate records Your Illinois State Senate schedule Your Law practice client list A Certified Copy of your original Birth certificate Your embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth Your Harvard Law Review articles that were published Your University of Chicago scholarly articles Your Record of baptism
Oh hey…listen! I know you are busy! Is this too much for you now? I mean tell you what. I will come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get these things together, you know? I mean, I know you are busy, so I will just let my self out. I will be back tomrorrow. And the day after……
And just to add one more thing to the list; may I please see which passport you used to travel to Pakistan at a time in America’s history when Americans were not allowed to GO TO PAKISTAN? Was it an Indonesian Passport because you became an Indonesian Citizen when your step-father adopted you? Hmmmm?
How many ways from Sunday can somebody NOT BE A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN and still become President?
As I wrote in my post today about Richard Nixon, there is no longer any interest in what Thomas Jefferson called the “educated voter.” The citizens of the United States have lost their say in what happens at every level of government and, in fact, the government has gone out of its way to block information from being released. Barack Obama is just another step in the wrong direction for this country. catsden,wordpress.com

That is why a 10 Million American March on DC would be such a good idea. It is OUR CAPITOL, they are just visiting.

Who is Obama’s father? Isn’t it interesting that if Obama could claim Frank Marshall Davis as his father, the natural birth issue would change dramatically. Maybe Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. drank himself to death (so to speak) because Junior looked so much like Frank. But I believe grandma when she says she was at Junior’s birth in Kenya, which is not U.S. Soil. Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive….

All born in the USA except for the children of diplomats are “natural born” citizens. Why do you think that so many Mexicans try to cross the border before giving birth? Argument one is completely absurd.
Argument number two, born in Kenya to a citizen mother who had not lived enough years in the USA after 16 might have some traction if someone could provide something to contradict the birth taking place in Hawai’i.

Eddie,
Is an eye witness account of BHO’s Kenyan birth from his grandmother enough to raise your eyebrows?
PS even Mexican natural born “citizenship” is un-constitutional.
