Are the investigations AND the court cases heating up? Obama has spent millions of dollars and a near brigade of lawyers to keep his true birth certificate, all school records of Occidental College, Columbia University, Harvard Law School or anything relating to his citizenship buried with motions and legal mubo-jumbo.
Hell, America knew about George W. Bush; who his parents are, his ins and outs with the National Guard and even knew he wasn’t the “best student” with mainly “C” grades in college.
WHAT is Obama hiding? AND WHY?

A judge hearing one of the cases challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president has taken the unusual step of describing the dispute as a serious constitutional issue and further has begun adding letters of comment from the public to the court record.
Word of the action by U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel Schneider in Camden, N.J., comes from attorney Mario Apuzzo, who is handling the Kerchner vs. Obama case, which Apuzzo filed in January on behalf of Charles F. Kerchner Jr., Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr.
Named as defendants are Barack Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The case focuses on the alleged failure in Congress to follow the Constitution. That document, the lawsuit states, “provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate ‘elected’ by the Electoral College Electors.”
The Constitution provides, the lawsuit said, “If the president-elect shall have failed to qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have qualified.”
“There existed significant public doubt and grievances from plaintiffs and other concerned Americans regarding Obama’s eligibility to be president and defendants had the sworn duty to protect and preserve the Constitution and specifically under the 20th Amendment, Section 3, a Constitutional obligation to confirm whether Obama, once the electors elected him, was qualified,” the case explained.
“Congress is the elected representative of the American people and the people speak and act through them,” the lawsuit said.
The defendants “violated” the 20th Amendment by failing to assure that Obama meets the eligibility requirements,” the lawsuit said.
Update from Mario Apuzzo: Activity in Kerchner et al v Obama & Congress et al Lawsuit
The defendants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit was filed today and is posted on the PACER system as Document 27. A copy of defendants’ motion and supporting brief are available in the right frame of this blog.
We all know that we have seen months of stalling from the defendants. We fully expected this dismissal motion which Obama has previously used when he was a mere candidate.
The difference now is that Obama is the putative President and not simply a candidate with a 1st Amendment right to run for political office.
As the putative President, Obama must show that he is qualified under Article II of our Constitution. We also know that Congress failed to exercise its Constitutional duty to properly vet Obama prior to confirming him as President at the Joint Session.
The motion return date is July 20, 2009. We, of course, will file opposition to their dismissal motion prior to that date.
I will comment more later after I have had a chance to fully study the motion and supporting brief in greater detail.

Okay America! There you have it. A horde of information at your disposal to peruse or ignore.
The choice is yours.
****UPDATE #1 !!****
Yesterday’s item, “Fight the Smears Disappears,” documented the changes that have recently been made to Obama’s high-profile Internet site, “Fight the Smears,” and also to the Internet Archive, also known as the “WayBackMachine.com” — Obama has removed his bogus Certification of Live Birth from the Internet — at the same time, the Internet Archive just happened to “lose” its archived copy.

Re: “A “natural born citizen” must be born in the mainland US and must have TWO US citizen parents.”
Baloney! A Natural Born Citizen is a synonym of a native born citizen, meaning someone who was born in the USA. If the writers of the Constitution had meant that a Natural Born Citizen had to have two US parents, they would have said it.
In fact, “Natural Born” was commonly used in the US colonies before the Revolution as a synonym for someone who was born in the colony. There was even a commonly used legal term, a “Natural Born Subject,” which again was someone who was born in the colony or in Britain.
Response by Romanticpoet:
Article II Section 1 Of the CONSTITUTION Re: President
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.

I also suggest you go here:
http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaNaturalBorn.htm
Obama’s father was a Kenyan citizen and at the time of his birth (1961) Kenyans were BRITISH citizens.
In order for Obama’s mother to convey American citizenship to Obama she would have to be “five years past the age of 14”. Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born. Therefore, she was too young to convey citizenship to Obama.
IF Obama was born in the U.S., he would classify as a “native citizen” which Obama ADMITS to . ANCHOR babies (A Child born to immigrants in U.S) are “native citizens” and WOULD NOT QUALIFY TO BE THE U.S. PRESIDENT.
Neither parent qualifies as a person to “convey” U.S. citizenship to Obama.
Your argument has no merit.
Obama was born in Hawaii. Natural Born Citizen means that if he is born in the USA, he is considered a US citizen. That is because at the time of the Constitution anyone who was born in the USA was considered a Natural Born Subject.
If you can prove that he was not born in the USA, that would be different, of course.
But since the evidence is there that he was born in the USA, and no evidence that he was born anywhere else, he is a Natural Born Citizen. The age of the mother is irrelevant. His father was a foreigner, but the children of foreigners (except for the children of diplomats)are natural born if they were born in the USA, because that is what Natural Born means.
The son or daughter of two Mexicans, even if the mother were 13 years old, would still be eligible, so long as the candidate was born in the USA, was 35 years old and had lived in the USA for 14 years.
And that is why such prominent conservative Senators who are also lawyers as Orren Hatch and Lindsay Graham say that a Natural Born Citizen is simply one who was born in the USA:
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), said:
“Every child born in the United States is a natural-born United States citizen except for the children of diplomats.” (December 11, 2008 letter to constituent)
Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT), said:
“What is a natural born citizen? Clearly, someone born within the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen.” (Senate Judiciary Committee hearing hearing on OCTOBER 5, 2004)
And:
Gov. Bobby Jindal, who delivered the Republican response to Obama’s speech, said: “Regardless of party, all Americans are moved by the President’s personal story – the son of an American mother and a Kenyan father, who grew up to become leader of the free world.”
Jindal, of course, would be even less of a citizen under Vattel’s concept because neither of his parents were citizens at the time of his birth. His mother was about three months pregnant when they came to the USA.
Consider the logic of the alleged requirement that two parents be citizens at the time of birth. Under this theory, if one of my parents gets naturalized one day after I was born, I’m not eligible. If both are naturalized a minute before I am born, I am eligible.
This may be useful as an arbitrary breakdown of who should and should not be president, but what is the REAL sense behind it? Does the fact that someone was naturalized before really make a difference to someone’s loyalty? What evidence is there that the framers though this, instead of the more commonly used rule of birth in the country, which was used by the Common Law? And that is the traditional meaning of “natural born,” which stems from Natural Born Subject.
And finally, does the allegiance of the parent really affect the loyalty of a child at all? If my father was a Baptist, does this mean that I have to stay a Baptist all my life? No, of course not. And, the same about my father being a Kenyan. If my father were a Kenyan, in later years I might have an allegiance to Kenya, or I might not—just like my allegiance to the Baptist religion. There is no evidence that the framers of the Constitution thought any differently.
So, would the Supreme Court rule that Obama was not a natural born citizen? I doubt that there is even four votes for taking up the case. At least two justices had fathers who were born in Italy (Alito and Scalia), and they are the ones who would be asking “If my father was naturalized after my birth instead of before my birth, would I be any less loyal?”

It is up to Obama to PROVE he was born in the U.S.A.
ALL photoshopped/fake COLB’s posted on the web are PROVEN FAKES.
WHY has Obama spent MILLIONS of dollars to keep his Birth Certificate under lock and key?
AND why IS THIS HAPPENING?
Massive Internet Scrub In Progress
Yesterday’s item, “Fight the Smears Disappears,” documented the changes that have recently been made to Obama’s high-profile Internet site, “Fight the Smears,” and also to the Internet Archive, also known as the “WayBackMachine.com” — Obama has removed his bogus Certification of Live Birth from the Internet — at the same time, the Internet Archive just happened to “lose” its archived copy.
What’s really ironic is that FactCheck.org is so invested in their defense of Obama’s bogus bona fides, that they just can’t dig themselves out of the hole they dug themselves into. FactCheck now stands alone as a defender of the indefensible.
In the last 24 hours, further evidence of an, organized, massive scrubbing of the Internet has been discovered.
Evidence of this extraordinary campaign was posted on this site on June 18th. Sometime between June 8, 2009, and June 18, 2009, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) changed the requirements for identification that they maintained for over 100 years. All of a sudden, Hawaii will now accept Certifications of Live Birth (COLB) as proof of identification and residency, and will no longer require the certified “Certificates of Birth” — although Hawaii says that they will still take the traditional birth certificates.
On June 7th, this website reported that the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu posted on its website
a letter on White House stationery dated January 24th (since scrubbed), in which Obama wrote, “As a beneficiary of the excellence of Kapi’olani Medical Center — the place of my birth — I am pleased to add my voice to your chorus of supporters” — even though Obama himself has previously claimed to have been born at Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu, a claim backed up by his sister Maya.
Until June 7th, even United Press International (UPI) and Snopes.com contained statements that Obama was born at the Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu. Here is a screen capture from Snopes.com that says, “Barack Hussein Obama was born at the Queen’s Medical Center.” Today, Snopes.com claims that “Barack Hussein Obama, was born on 4 August 1961 at the Kapiolani Medical Center.” Snopes claims they made the change because Wikipedia made the change.
Here is the UPI screen capture that claims Obama was born at Queens — but now the UPI claims Kapiolani. Remember, Obama, himself, told UPI that he was born at Queens.
So, because someone at the White House sent a letter to Kapiolani, all the websites that have been covering for Obama are now scrambling to scrub content that they have claimed as accurate for the last couple of years.
Over one year ago, I wrote the following for the “Biography” page:
On the Internet, there is an organized, systematic cleansing of Obama-related content.
Every couple of days I get an email telling me this link, or that link, connects to a “Page not found — 404 error.” The extensive body of Obama web-knowledge, that has evolved over the last 20 years, is shrinking. Stuff that’s considered an Obama smear or unflattering is sent to the Obama ’08 cyber shredding machine. And the campaign is getting help from some really big web service providers.A good example is Kristof’s famous New York Times article, in which Kristof quotes Obama saying that the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth” and in which Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent” — that’s gone — from The New York Times — but it’s here though.
And, the Trinity UCC website has completely changed. Now, it’s all sweetness and light. Gone are all those great Rev. Wright “God damn America” videos and anti-Israeli Trumpet magazine excerpts.
There’s less on the web every day. In time, the entire Obama body of knowledge will consist of Obama’s 3 bogus novels — “Dreams From My Father” — “The Audacity of Hope” — and the latest — “Change We Can Believe In” — all written by Barack Hussein Obama or his “ghost-writers.”

Re: “ALL photoshopped/fake COLB’s posted on the web are PROVEN FAKES.”
Answer: Two guys, neither of whom will give his real name, have claimed that the image on the web was false. The third expert, a real expert, merely said that an image on the Web cannot be proven to be authentic either way.
However, it does not matter. The image is only a representation of the real physical document, which was shown to FactCheck and Polifact, and which was authenticated by the two officials in Hawaii who looked into the file and said that there was an original birth certificate in the file. At the time Hawaii did not allow foreign birth certificates to be entered into its files, so the original must be a Hawaiian birth certificate.
Oh, and by the way, if the image had been forged, then the Republicans would have been all over the situation during the campaign and some law-enforcement types too.
Re: “WHY has Obama spent MILLIONS of dollars to keep his Birth Certificate under lock and key?”
Answer. He hasn’t. All the lawsuits against him were either to stop the election or to stop the certification of the election.

This is what is known as “fixing your mistake.” Apparently all the Queens stories originated with UPI which also changed its site because it got the facts wrong.
