Obama served with lawsuit challenging his citizenship and right to be candidate
This never seemed to make the press as part of the coverage at the DNC. Of course, afterwards the airwaves were thoroughly occupied by Gov. Palin’s scandalous “babygate” situation.
At any rate, not sure at this point if the campaign will ever comment on this or not. The blogosphere moves a few weeks faster than the mainstream media and for good reason, I fully admit, but if this story is circulating as it is now then Obama and people in the media are aware too. Jerome Corsi, author of Obama Nation, made similar accusations, last month, on national TV, which got people interested about the secrecy of Obama’s past and his reluctance to offer up personal documents as McCain did. Now Berg has made good on is threat to serve Obama and legally challenge his right to be a candidate. It’s got to be a matter of time before a big investigative story breaks or Obama puts this to rest.
This may be laughable and not worth addressing, I don’t know. However, it seems to me with a lawsuit now filed and the stories circulating; why not put it to rest by releasing these personal documents?
For Immediate Release: - 09/04/08

Great Blog post. I am going to bookmark and read more often. I love the Blog template
Comment by You had me at lawsuit on 7 September 2008:
So what does this mean in a nutshell? Does this mean they have a court date or what? Does it mean anything at this point?
This would truly be historic but it’s probably too sensational to be true.
Comment by oldsam on 7 September 2008:
Bwahahahaha. Obama’s citizienship is being challenged while it is McCain who is born in Panama?
Comment by Peter from Dover NH on 7 September 2008:
Both McCain’s parents were citizens so the Panama birth is not an issue.
Read the law.
Comment by Jane D on 7 September 2008:
What I’d like to hear about is the complaint the Obama campaign filed with the Department of Justice trying to stop the Ayers ads from being played on radio stations throughout the country. The campaign wrote threatening letters to the stations, and then filed a complaint with the DOJ asking for an investigation. Guess Obama doesn’t care about free speech. I guess it’s no surprise that the MSM has not commented on this since they’re all kissing Obama’s butt.
Comment by sam*i*am on 7 September 2008:
both of mccain’s parents were citizens and his father was serving in the active military. when one is active military one’s offspring are u.s. citizens regardless of the geographical location of their birth.
Comment by beth in chapel hill on 7 September 2008:
on what basis? this is the first i’ve heard of it. btw: my daughter was born overseas while my husband was serving with the foreign service. the birth certificate states: certificate of birth of an american citizen overseas. the libs need to learn to shut up because the keep offending large voting blocks.
Comment by James on 7 September 2008:
This is a civil action. I have seen civil actions go on so long the plaintiffs and defendants babies were going to college before it was settled.
Comment by Mary L on 7 September 2008:
I have been following this, the issue here is Obama’s qualification under the constitution, there is no doubt that he is a US citizen however, he was adopted by his stepfather an Indonesian and BO lived in Indonesia for a number of years. He attended school there but he won’t release the records, why ???? Did he have an Indonesian citizenship, dual citizenship disqualifies him under the constitution. The BO campaign has a problem with the birth certificate published in their website, there is no registration number, fatcheck came up with one but was never acknowledge by the BO campaign as authentic. I believe the DNC did not vet their candidate, and I am upset with the Hillary campaign because they did not do their homework, one would think if the Rev. Ayers issue would have been brought up before the Iowa nomination, will BO would have won that state? It is also very disappointing that the msm is not doing what they are supposed to do ask hard questions of BO. God bless America!
Comment by Mary L on 7 September 2008:
I mean Rev. Wright and Ayers.
Comment by ridiculous on 7 September 2008:
If it is true what does it matter? Obama is a U.S. citizen and married to an American woman. People are wanting to kick him out over a stupid obscure technicality!! Maybe we need to rethink our archaic rules. Obama is an American and its not fair that his mother moved him to india when he was a boy. Besides he went back to the U.S. with his grandparents.
Some people will do anything to deny history they don’t agree with.
Comment by Entwife on 7 September 2008:
Yeah, a really obscure technicality to some Americans, unfortunately. It’s called the Constitution.
Comment by Laurent on 7 September 2008:
If you read the text of Berg’s lawsuit (which he filed on the friday before the Democratic convention opened), he states that Obama is not now a citizen, unless Obama can produce an official document showing that he took an oath of allegiance to the United States on or shortly after his 18th birthday. If he cannot, then Obama never reclaimed his U.S. citizenship, and is not now a citizen.
Comment by Loozianajay on 7 September 2008:
Beth in chapel hill,
My son was born in Germany on a U.S. military installation but still technically was born on foreign soil. However, since my wife and I are both U.S. citizens he is also became an American citizen at birth with all the privileges and rights that comes with it. In other words, he could run for president or do anything else he wished to do as a naturalized U.S. citizen.
Obama on the other, if he was born in Kenya he would be disqualified as a natural born U.S. citizen. Because only one of his parents was actually a U.S. citizen under the age of 19 born on foreign soil.
Ridiculous, that name is so fitting as you never seem to amaze me with your comments. Yes, you are right he is an American citizen. And no he didn’t move to India when he was little. It was Indonesia.
Back to the point, if these accusations are true, he wouldn’t be a naturalized American citizen which is required by the constitution to be POTUS. Other than that, he is as free and as privileged as any other citizen of the U.S. But thanks for playing.
Comment by Loozianajay on 7 September 2008:
Right Laurent. I meant to add that. If Obama carried dual citizenship with Indonesia, which someone on here told me that Indonesia doesn’t allow dual citizenship, than he would have had to renounce his U.S. citizenship to become a Indonesian citizen. He later moved back to the U.S. where he has lived the rest of his life. At some point as I understand, he would have to reclaim or reaffirm his allegiance to the U.S.
I don’t know it all starts getting pretty fuzzy from here on out. Some people think that since he held dual citizenship or was once a citizen of another country, automatically disqualifies him to run for president.
Comment by Bret on 7 September 2008:
The Supreme Court ruled in 1967, Afroyim v Rusk, that US citizenship is not given up when a citizen acquires citizenship of another country, unless the person actually intended to give up their US citizenship by doing so. As long as Obama was born a US citizen it does not matter if he ever acquired any other citizenship as the Constitution does not prohibit a dual citizen or former dual citizen from becoming President. It only requires that a person be born a US citizen, which Obama was.
Comment by misanthropicus on 7 September 2008:
Glibama clearly isn’t forthcoming about a lot of things in his past - everything is so mysterious!
Comment by Bret on 7 September 2008:
One more comment regarding citizens born abroad. My son is a dual US and UK citizen. I am only a US citizen and my wife is only a UK citizen. At birth my son automatically acquired US citizenship because of my status as a citizen, and that entitles him to all rights of being a US citizen, including the possibility of one day becoming president. The only question that matters is whether or not the President is a natural-born US citizen, that person’s parents and their citizenship status are irrelevant.
Comment by PavingTheWayForArnie&Maria? on 7 September 2008:
Pesky Article II of the Constitution sure is getting in the way between The One and “Saving the World”, isn’t it? How did this Constitutional Law uh,’Professor’think he could beat the Constitution? Saudi billionaire buying his Harvard law degree calling in favors, thaT’s how. Being held to the law on the books in 1961 makes it much harder to implement the New World Order via guru Eckhart Tolle (German Marxist)”WE ARE THE SECOND COMING”…seriously, folks - this is the current New Age (Who’s Rev. Wright?) following of Oprah and Obama…
At the very MOST…he may be a naturalized citizen, not natural-born as REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE PRESIDENT…since his mother wasn’t 21 years old at the time…but, looks more and more like he MAY have been born in Kenya, and then there’s that problem with dual citizenship in Indonesia and allegiance to one country(Indonesian passport issued by which he travelled to Pakistan bears out legal name Barry Soetoro along with Indonesian citizenship)…so what’s a Democratic nominee to do? HOW ABOUT TELLING THE DAMN TRUTH…BOW OUT…AND LET HILLARY WIN THIS THING FOR AMERICA…OR JUST LET THE OTHER QUALIFIED WOMAN SARAH - AND MCCAIN TAKE THE HILL BY STORM……..tick tock…tick tock…tick tock…
Comment by Loozianajay on 7 September 2008:
Bret, as I understand it, your son is certainly a U.S. citizen but not a natural born citizen. Was he born in the U.K.?
Comment by Bret on 7 September 2008:
Loozianajay, yes he was born in the UK, and at birth according to the US state department and a certificate they issued to us, he was a US citizen. There was not considered any gap between the time he was born and the time I registered him as a citizen about two weeks later. He never had to acquire citizenship, he was born a US citizen, as a natural consequence of my own status, hence a natural born US citizen.
Comment by Bubby on 7 September 2008:
Sir, you are correct. He is a citizen because you lived in the united states within 5 years of his birth.
In the Obama question his mother did not. I hope this not true about Obama for it will really through everything into turmoil and question our election system. However if this is in fact the truth then laws have been broken and he is ineligible. The rules we need to be reading are the naturalized citizen laws by the us state department.

Comment by Jim on 13 September 2008:
Obama was born in Kenya and brought to America.. This law has no standing before it took place AFTER the birth date of Obama which was in 1961.. Obama was adopted by an Indonesia citizen.. Indonesia did not have dual citizenship..Obama’s mommy signed his rights away when she signed those adoption papers..By the way them papers are sitting in the government libary records.. All Government documents for that time frame world be recorded with the government for public record.. Indonesia would have had to contact the US in some manner.. Obama ’s mommy would have had to have a visa for him and her at the time. Those papers are also in the government records.. When the visa applications were filed, and the time frame that they stayed in Indonesia..Obamas US citizenship was VOID..
When his mother did was when she broke up with her husband she traveled back to the US.. She had kept her US passport which was actually voided and returned to the US with Barry Soetoro..AKA Barry Obama.. Obamas passport information will expose alot of the Obama lies..
We look forward to this case being vetted in front of the US voters and the circus of Obama be exposed once and foreall..

Comment by Ronald on 19 September 2008:
From what I understand the birth certificate posted on the Obama website is a forgery…no hospital records in Hawaii show his birth that would correspond with the certificate…but records of his bith in Kenya do. It seems the certificate is a poor attempt to use a relatives certificate that has been written over. If this is true then Obama owes a lot of people a lot of money that we put up for his campaign based on his story. It seems more and more to me that Obama is just an ongoing story that seems to be made up as he goes along…so dissapointing…changes his mind and his health and economy solutions are just awful…take from the rich and then no insurance for adults but insurance for children…who already have medicade available. So dissapointing…I just hope people take time to really look at what he is offering. Anyone other than McCain on the horizon? I sure hope so. Time is running out.
Comment by HelloKitty on 29 September 2008:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t one have to choose a country of citizenship when one reaches the age of 18? I work with a lady who was born in France (on French soil not a military base) to US citizens and she had a French birth certificate. She had to choose to be a US or French citizen at age 18. If Obama traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport at age 19 or 20, then he would have been past the age of declaring his allegiance to the US, and the US only.

Comment by Kerry on 23 October 2008:
Mccain was not born in the US, but his father was a legal citizen over 18 stationed away from the US by the US military. There is a big difference if this comes out to be true about Obama. If we let him become President, and he is not a legal citizen this will open doors that we will regret. I can’t imagine Obama would be that stupit.
Comment by John McCarthy on 26 October 2008:
Afroyim V. Rusk was a Supreme Court decision, not a law. How can you say it has no standing because the ruling was made after Obama was born. The ruling means that the Nationality Act of 1940 was never valid. It doesn’t merely mean that it is no longer valid after the Supreme Court ruled. It means that it was never valid. According to the ruling, nothing Obama’s mother did can affect Obama’s citizenship. He would have had to deliberately give it up, which he has never done.
