Senator Barack Obama wins a temporary delay in the court system but has yet to prove in a court of law that he is constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States

Until quite recently, Senators Obama and McCain both had civil suits brought against them alleging they were constitutionally ineligible to serve as President. McCain chose to cooperate with the courts, produced his documents, and was ruled constitutionally eligible. However, the question for Obama is still open. He has not produced documentation in a court of law proving that he is eligible. For a full background of the events so far, please read “THE SAGA CONTINUES – John McCain and Barack Obama – Can They Even BE President?“. This is also a helpful though biased blog page on the topic from an anti-Obama law student, you can see from the links on the right of the webpage he is following along closely.
On page 36 in this court ruling, Obama’s case was “dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction” by U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick on October 24. Converted into layman’s terms, the judge ruled that the plaintiff, Philip Berg (a constitutional Democrat), had no right to bring a lawsuit against Mr. Obama. This is the equivalent of telling all citizens in the United States that they have no right to challenge constitutional wrongs in the US District Court.
Berg will not be denied. He already planned for the eventuality long before the trial and will appeal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals first, and if failing, to the United States Supreme Court.
On the Michael Savage Show on October 23, Berg stated that he has in his possession a verified translation and recording of Obama’s Kenyan grandmother, who is still alive, stating she was present at little Barack’s birth in Kenya.
It is undisputed that Obama’s father was a Kenyan national, and it is undisputed that if Obama was actually born in Kenya he is not eligible to be POTUS. Obama maintains he was born in Hawaii. Berg also states that even if Obama was born in Hawaii, he has in his possession school records that Obama was registered as a schoolchild with Indonesian citizenship in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the 1960s after his American mother’s second marriage. If this allegation is true, a court would need to decide on Obama’s eligibility to be President or even a Senator.
The Associated Press with its often negligent style of journalism titled its short seven-sentence blip of an article “Judge tosses lawsuit challenging Obama citizenship” on October 25. However, in their last sentence they did state the truth. “Surrick ruled that Berg lacked standing to bring the case, saying any harm from an allegedly ineligible candidate was “too vague and its effects too attenuated to confer standing on any and all voters.”"
Although his motion to dismiss was perfectly legal, one now has to wonder. What does the man termed “the Messiah” or “The One” have to hide? For someone who supports physical searches performed on your person in public places on the strange supposition that everyone could be a terrorist, should We the People not have the right to search his person if he wants to take our highest office?
A lifetime liberal Democrat, Berg has said, “I am doing this for the Constitution.”
Well, so am I.

PS I am biased, but I would say the same about anyone who refuses to prove he is constitutionally eligible. For being a constitutional law professor, Obama seems determined to follow it his way – the Socialist way. Here is a 2001 radio recording of how Obama will redistribute the riches of the wealth to the poor, to each according to his/her needs.
PPS Remember the POTUS is not selected on November 4th. Congress will not count the votes of the Electoral College until January 6, 2009. “No Constitutional provision or Federal law requires electors to vote in accordance with the popular vote in their States.”
PPPS – One more and I will shut up. While the rest of America looks forward to November 4th, I will just “Remember, Remember the Fifth of November.” Read the whole Guy Fawkes Day poem here ” FDIC Gives Alpha Bank the Axe!”
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It is a tragedy. Not only that: It is the biggest tragedy in world history, even worse than wars. Yes, worse than wars. It made most people poor. It damaged America. It caused wars and then helped to finance them.”

Even if Barack Obama had been born in Kenya (indisputably to an American mother), he would be entitled to U.S. citizenship, BY BIRTH, by reason of his mother’s citizenship. Even if his mother and step-father registered him, while a minor, as an Indonesian citizen under Indonesian law, this act can not deprive him of his natural born U.S. citizenship. Children born outside of the U.S., one parent a U.S. citizen and the other a foreign national, are entitled, upon reaching 21 years of age, to choose their citizenship and national allegiance. This is not a naturalization process. There is no testing or oath required – only a renunciation of any foreign allegiance. They are U.S. citizens by birth.
As the official public records show Barack Obama to have been born on U.S. soil, he never had that choice put to him. But is there any doubt what his choice would be?
