Is McCain technically still 100% alive ?

JUDGE ORDERS OBAMA TO PRODUCE BIRTH CERTIFICATE
By Jon Christian Dryer
October 3, 2008

On September 29, 2008 US District Court Judge R. Barclay Surrick, the
federal magistrate for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled in the
matter of Philip J. Berg vs Barack Hussein Obama, et al as the world was
distracted by the $700 billion subprime mortgage crisis. Obama sighed a
breath of relief as the mainstream media chose to ignore the question: "Can
Senator Barack Hussein Obama legally seek the office of President of the
United States?"
The flap began in June when National Review's Jim Geraghty raised the
question and asked the Obama Campaign to release a copy of his birth
certificate in order to prove that he actually was born in the United
States. (Reports had previously surfaced claiming that Obama's Kenyan
grandmother, Sarah Hussein Obama, told reporters that Obama was not born in
Hawaii, but in Kenya. She reportedly told reporters that when her son,
Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. returned to Kenya he was accompanied by a pregnant
white wife who was close to term.)
Obama's family did not take to Stanley Ann Dunham Obama well according to
Sarah Obama because she was white. Shortly after she arrived in Kenya
Stanley Ann decided to return to Hawaii because she did not like how Muslim
men treated their wives in Kenya. However, because she was near term the
airline would not let her fly until after the birth of her baby. Obama's
grandmother said the baby was born in Kenya and that shortly after Barack
Hussein Obama, Jr. was born, Stanley Ann returned to Hawaii.
Purportedly, when she arrived back in Hawaii, Stanley Anne registered her
son's live birth as an event which had just happened-in Hawaii. This
supposition is based on the appearance, shortly after Nov. 6, 2007, of a
Hawaiian birth certificate that was issued, as a duplicate birth
certificate, by the State of Hawaii to a US Senator who requested it.
While the Internet screamed that the birth certificate, which appeared on
the Obama Campaign's "Fight The Smears" website and was also downloaded and
used by far left blogger Markos Zuniga on his website, Daily Kos, it was not
an electronic image concocted by Daily KOs as was hypothesized by a
self-described cyvbersleuth who uses the cyber pseudonym Techdude. It was
the real McCoy-even if it was issued as a political favor to a prospective
Democratic presidential candidate by a Democrat official in Hawaii. The
county clerk who issued the document, which purports to be a copy of an
original document, was date stamped "Nov. 6, 2007" on the reverse side of
the birth certificate in blue ink which bled through and is visible on the
front of the electronic image.
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, wanted to learn the
truth from the myriad of rumors that also suggested that Sen. Obama may also
have been a citizen of Indonesia. The only consistent part of the story was
Stanley Ann returning to Hawaii to claim he had been in the United States
and was a US citizen.
In his ruling, Judge Surrick noted that the "...cause came before the United
States District Court Judge, Honorable R. Barclay Surrick on defendant
Barack Hussein Obama and the Democratic National Committee's motion to
dismiss." The order continued, "Having reviewed the motion and plaintiff's
opposition to said motion and for good cause shown, it is hereby ordered
that the motion to dismiss pursuant to F.R.C.P. 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) is
denied. It is further order of this court that the following discovery is to
be turned over to plaintiff within three (3) days.
1. Obama's "vault" version (certified copy of his "original" long version)
birth certificate; and
2. a certified copy of Obama's Certificate of Citizenship;
3. a certified copy of Obama's oath of allegiance."
Berg argued that he felt it was the role of the Federal Election Commission
to ensure that presidential and congressional candidates are eligible to
hold the positions for which they were seeking, and that those candidates
run a fair and legitimate campaign. "In vetting the presidential candidate,"
Berg argued, "the DNC and the FEC are required to ensure the eligibility
requirements pursuant to our Constitution are met and the Presidential
nominee, if elected, is qualified and eligible to serve pursuant to our
United States Constitution. In order to be eligible to run for the Office of
President of the United States, you must be a "natural born" citizen.
"There appears to be no question that Defendant Obama's mother, Stanley Ann
Dunham, was a US citizen. It is also undisputed, however, that his father,
Barack Obama, Sr., was a citizen of Kenya. Obama's parents, according to
divorce recorded, were married on or about February 2, 1961."
"Defendant Obama claims he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. on August 4, 1961
and it is uncertain in which hospital he claims to have been born. Obama's
grandmother on his father's side, his half-brother and half-sister all claim
Obama was born not in Hawaii but in Kenya. Reports reflect that Obama's
mother traveled to Kenya during her pregnancy; however, she was prevented
from boarding a flight from Kenya to Hawaii. at her late stage of pregnancy
(which apparently are normal restrictions, to avoid births during flights).
By these reports, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama gave birth to Obama in Kenya,
after which she flew home and registered Obama's birth. There are records of
a "registry of birth" for Obama, on or about August 8, 1961 in the public
records office in Hawaii."
Berg's investigators revealed that Obama's own half-sister Maya Soetoro-with
whom he was raised-seemed not to know where her own brother was born. In the
Nov., 2004 interview by the Rainbow Newsletter Maya Soetoro said Obama was
born on Aug. 4, 1961 at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. In
February, 2008 Maya was interviewed by the Star Bulletin. This time she told
reporters that Obama was born on August 4, 1961 at the Kaliolani Medical
Center for Women and Children. On June 9, 2008 Wayne Madsen, a journalist
with Online Journal published an article in which he said a research team
went to Mombassa, Kenya and located a Certificate registering the live birth
of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. to his father, a Kenyan citizen and his mother,
a US citizen.
Berg's argument to the court was that under the US Nationality Act of 1940,
Section 317 (b), a minor child follows the naturalization and citizenship
status of his or her custodial parent. In Obama's case, Berg argued, a minor
child follows the naturalization and citizenship status of his or her
custodial father. Obama's Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetora signed a
statement acknowledging Obama as his son, giving Obama natural Indonesian
citizenship, which explains the name "Barry Soetoro" and his citizenship
listed as Indonesian. Loss of US citizenship, under US law in effect in 1967
required that foreign citizenship be achieved through "application." Which,
according to Berg, is precisely what happened to Obama when his mother
married Soetoro and the family moved to Indonesia.
When Obama and his mother moved to Indonesia, Obama had already been
enrolled in school-something that could not have happened under Indonesian
law if Soetoro had not signed an acknowledgment (the application) affirming
that Obama was his son, it deemed his son to be an Indonesian State citizen.
(Citizenship of Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 9 of 1992 dated 31 mar. 1992,
Indonesia Civil Code): "...State children of Indonesia include: (viii)
children who are born outside of legal marriage from foreign State citizen
mother who are acknowledged by father who is Indonesian State citizen as his
children and that acknowledgment is made prior to children reaching 18 years
of age or prior to marriage; Republic of Indonesia Constitution, 1945."
Furthermore, under Indonesian law, if a resident Indonesian citizen married
a foreigner-in this case, Lolo Soetoro marrying Stanley Ann Obama-she was
required to renounce her US citizenship .
In his lawsuit, Berg demanded a copy of Obama's Certificate of Citizenship,
a document Obama must have applied for to regain his citizenship-which was
lost in Indonesia. He will have that document only if the proper paperwork
was filed with the US State Department when Obama returned to Hawaii in 1971
since that is the only way Obama could regain his US "natural born" status.
Berg is convinced that Obama was never naturalized in the United States
after his return. Obama returned to his maternal grandparents in Hawaii
without his mother. Since she is the only one who could have filed for the
reinstatement of his citizenship, it is unlikely it ever happened. If it
did, his Certificate of Citizenship would affirm his right to seek the
office of President. Without it, Barack Obama is just another resident alien
who can't legally hold his seat in the US Senate.

Count the number of Hussein's in this, and realize it's an opinion peice.

It wouldnt matter if he was or wasnt, most americans do not have any idea about the US constitution anyway.

I am pretty sure if he wasnt that someone would have caught it in the democratic party.

It does matter because even if he won the election he'd be pulled out of office if the lawsuit proved it to be true.

It will never happen though. Republicans need to focus on the issues not stupidity.

Don't get me wrong, I dislike Obama.
If this is proven to be true I think he should be in jail for wasting his party's money and defrauding the American public. Obviously he knows where he was born. I just strongly doubt this lawsuit will go anywhere.

I can understand that and I agree that the lawsuit probably won't pan out. Just thought I would post it since it was an article that was highly relevant to the original posters question.
