<![CDATA[Above link for previous article.<br />
Looks like the American people are so dim as to elect a President that is not a US citizen. Why has this not been broadcast in the liberal media? Because Barrack is the Messiah to the media and they are going to control the election of a Socialist in this country! <br />
This article is so correct in its observations. The taxpayers are going to fund all of Barrack's little program. <br />
Why doesn't the media report Obama's lack of a legitimate birth certificate? They would if this was an issue with a Republican candidate.<br />

<![CDATA[Update: Obama Sued on Grounds He is Constitutionally Ineligible. Obama Is a U.S. Citizen<br />
Posted on August 21, 2008<br />
<br />
Looks like all the blog speculation on fake birth certificates were in vain. Factcheck.Org:<br />
In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document’s authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is “fake.”<br />
We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as “supporting documents” to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.<br />
Of course this isn’t going to end anything. Check this out. It isn’t just about whether he was born here, but whether multiple citizenships, updated birth certificates, etc. threaten his validity to even run.<br />
A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.<br />
Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit–just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver–for the health of the Democratic Party.<br />
“I filed this action at this time,” Berg stated, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.”.<br />
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator’s background, and in today’s lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls “dual loyalties” due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.<br />
Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of “multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries” remains on the table.<br />
In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama’s mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, “apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight.” As Sen. Obama’s own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham–Obama’s mother–gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.<br />
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama’s birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals–Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital–in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple “registry of birth” records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.<br />
Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama’s mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a “natural born” citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.<br />
Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed “natural born,” that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama’s registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name “Barry Soetoro” and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.<br />
Of course no media is reporting on this. This could get very interesting.<br />

<![CDATA[This week the Supreme Court of Hawaii will prove that Obama is not a US citizen and therefore cannot be President. He was born in Kenya and his birth was registered in Hawaii. His grandmother is not "gravely ill" either and he went to Hawaii this week to assemble a defense team. What a fake and how gullible and stupid you Americans are!<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FObama-The-Middle-Classs-Grand-Illusion.118981%23comment369341"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FObama-The-Middle-Classs-Grand-Illusion.118981%23comment369341" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[The comment by Angie was did not apply at all to this article. But the fact is that blacks in this country have many things much easier than whites. Equal opportunity is a myth. African-Americans and Hispanics have an edge in getting into colleges with a lower GPA. Minority groups also receive more financial aid. <br />
The illusion here is that the minorities are still complaining when the scales have been and will continue to be tipped in their favor for decades to come.<br />
92% of blacks are voting for Obama is this a RACE issue too? Are blacks racist against the white candidate? Quit throwing stones if you live in a glass house.<br />
How many convicts are black are we doing those percentages too? How about how many generations of welfare have been a minority? Are we counting those numbers too?<br />
Who is racist? Why must blacks always throw in the race card with every issue that does not go their way? <br />
If you truly want equality Angie then I suggest you open your eyes because you are living an illusion and so is your candidate.<br />
The press will elect Obama pure and simple in their quest to elect an African-American as president. If Obama does not win the election there will probably be a race riot and we all will be held hostage.<br />
Get your head out of your little hole and get a clue.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FObama-The-Middle-Classs-Grand-Illusion.118981%23comment367711"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FObama-The-Middle-Classs-Grand-Illusion.118981%23comment367711" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[You need to read the article. No bama is not because of race. Why make EVERYTHING a RACIST issue? If whites do not choose a black man why is it because of race? <a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FObama-The-Middle-Classs-Grand-Illusion.118981%23comment367283"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FObama-The-Middle-Classs-Grand-Illusion.118981%23comment367283" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Obama lost the debate last night. It was obvious that he had zero expertise in so many areas. He looked like a college freshman. I will cast my vote for experience and McCain is my choice. <a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FObama-The-Middle-Classs-Grand-Illusion.118981%23comment308253"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FObama-The-Middle-Classs-Grand-Illusion.118981%23comment308253" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[People say McCain and the Republicans are for the rich and the big corporations.  But does that automatically mean Obama and the Democrats are for the middle class and the working man?  Things are not always black and white.<br />
