Officials at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif., have been served with a demand to produce records concerning Barack Obama's attendance there during the 1980s because they could document whether he was attending as a foreign national – in one of three fronts now established by those contesting the president-elect's constitutional eligibility for the Oval Office.

The Supreme Court and Congress also both are being challenged to address the worries that Obama doesn't meet the requirements of the U.S. Constitution that the president be a "natural born" citizen.

WND has reported on a long list of legal cases raising questions over the issue, and several of those have reached the U.S. Supreme Court already. Justices have so far declined to give any of the cases full hearings on their merits, but another conference remains on the Supreme Court docket for Jan. 23 on the issue.

"If Obama is sworn in as president, we will file a Petition for Writ of 'Quo Warranto,' a case that will challenge Obama as being ineligible to serve as president because he is 'not qualified,'" said Philip J. Berg, a lawyer who has brought several cases to court. Berg, whose information is on his ObamaCrimes.com website, indicated the issue isn't going away.

Orly Taitz, a California lawyer whose dispute remains pending before the high court, agreed, noting that one of the hearings already is scheduled for the days following Obama's inaugural on Tuesday.

Taitz said her arguments rest on precedents from both the California Supreme Court, which years ago removed a candidate for president from the ballot because he was only 34, and the U.S. Supreme Court's affirmation of that ruling. The Constitution requires a president to be 35.

In one of the latest developments, Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation petitioned Occidental College with a demand for its records concerning Obama.

"The gravamen of the petition is the question as to whether United States Senator Barack Hussein Obama, of Illinois, is eligible to serve as president of the United States pursuant to the requirements for that office in the Untied States Constitution," he wrote. "The records sought may provide documentary evidence, and/or admissions by said defendant, as to said eligibility or lack thereof."

Where's the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the "natural-born American" clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 200,000 others and sign the petition demanding proof of eligibility now!

College officials confirmed they had gotten the notice, but had not decided how to respond, a decision that may be removed from their hands because of the team of lawyers Obama has engaged to prevent such inquiries into his past.

"Senator Obama has filed responsive pleadings in this matter and is represented by counsel, and has the opportunity to object to this production, should he so desire," the affidavit from Kreep said.

"Good cause exists for this production under Subpoena Duces Tecum, in that testimony will be elicited from the original records obtained through the witness named herein, and there is no other process available to secure said testimony," he wrote.

The lawsuits allege in various ways Obama does not meet the "natural born citizen" clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which reads, "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."

Some allege his birth took place in Kenya, and his mother was a minor at the time of his birth – too young to confer American citizenship. They argue Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., was a Kenyan citizen subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time and would have handed down British citizenship.

There also are questions raised about Obama's move to Indonesia when he was a child and his attendance at school there when only Indonesian citizens were allowed and his travel to Pakistan in the '80s when such travel was forbidden to American citizens.

The lawsuit on which USJF is working was filed on behalf of presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others, and describes the potential damage an ineligible president could create.

"Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void," argues a case brought on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes, also a presidential candidate. "Americans will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal."

On his ObamaCrimes.com website, Berg sent his message directly to the U.S. Congress.

He's asking in an open letter to members of Congress for congressional hearings "to determine the truth regarding qualifications of Barry Soetoro, otherwise known as Barack Hussein Obama…"

"As you must be aware, there are many unresolved questions concerning Soetoro/Obama's status or lack thereof, as a 'natural born' American citizen, as required by 'our' U.S. Constitution," he wrote.

He noted the failure by Congress to challenge Obama's eligibility during the process through which the Electoral College vote was adopted.

"Because of your failure to 'question' the eligibility of Soetoro/Obama, we are headed for a 'Constitutional Crisis.' Yes, a 'Constitutional Crisis' because Soetoro/Obama who appears not to be a 'natural born' U.S. citizen is 'ineligible' under 'our' U.S. Constitution to serve as president," he said.

He cited the document published on the Internet by Obama's campaign, the "Certification of Live Birth," as no more than an effort to "quash" questions. Other critics have noted the state of Hawaii granted such certifications to parents of children not born in the state at the time.

"Without truthful information concerning Soetoro/Obama's eligibility to serve as President, 'We the People' have been injured," he wrote.

Taitz took a different route, submitting to the U.S. Supreme Court a motion "to declare that by default, the president elect respondent Barack Obama has failed to qualify under [the] U.S. Constitution."

"Does the burden of proof lie with the petitioner to prove standing and evidence lack of qualification by a candidate/president elect, where election officers rely on a candidate's declaration? OR does the [Constitution] place the burden of proof on the president-elect to provide objective government certified witnessed proofs, with election officers under oath to challenge, examine and declare that the president elect has or has not qualified, enforceable by petition for redress of grievances?"

Not only has the respondent, Obama, "failed to submit proofs … for any of the qualifications," she wrote. "Respondent has hindered discovery."

She argued that having Obama declared ineligible until he would provide documentation would "cause far less political trauma" than allowing his inauguration because it would uphold the constitution.

She also raised the issue of the concealment of Obama's records.

"Obama has refused to submit certified copies of any of his original long form 'vault' birth certificates in Hawaii to any public officer or to any Petitioner. Relevant records in Kenya have also been officially restricted," she said. "Obama has sealed all educational records which might reveal his stated citizenship. These include Punahou High School, Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard Law School."

Her letter included a warning, too.

"Thirty-three democracies descended into tyranny during the 20th century by failing to uphold constitutional protections," she said. "Petitioner humbly prays this Court evaluate the Petitioner's case in context of how best to enforce restrictive qualifications for president to preserve the Constitution and Republic from tyranny."

WND twice has organized opportunities for readers to send FedEx letters to the Supreme Court, asking for consideration of the issue on its merits.

The most recent campaign generated 12,096 messages, following the earlier effort that resulted in 60,128 letters.

Obama has claimed in his autobiography and elsewhere that he was born in Hawaii in 1961 to parents Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Kenyan national, and Stanley Ann Dunham, a minor. But details about which hospital handled the birth and other details provided on the complete birth certificate have been withheld by Obama despite lawsuits and public demands for release.

WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi went to both Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.

The biggest question was why, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists as his campaign has stated, Obama hasn't simply ordered it made available to settle the rumors.

The governor's office in Hawaii said there is a valid certificate but rejected requests for access and left ambiguous its origin: Does the certificate on file with the Department of Health indicate a Hawaii birth or was it generated after the Obama family registered a Kenyan birth in Hawaii?

Saturday, January 10, 2009 - By Evil Conservative Obama Superstar 2: Topps Releases Obama Trading Cards

Remember when you were a kid and you used to wait for the new Topps cards to come out every year? Remember begging Mom to buy you a pack of the cards with the stick of gum inside? Every year they had football player cards, and baseball cards, and basketball cards, and the politician cards. Oh wait, scratch that last one. Come to think of it, I don't recall any Carter or Reagan cards when I was a boy.

Now Topps is jumping on the Obama Superstar bandwagon and releasing fanboi photocards of the Obama pre-presidency. Obama's rookie season cards include inspiring sayings and his life story. One assume they don't include the part about having an Indonesian passport. Early reports that Obama's minor league batting average statistics would be supplied by Larry Sinclair have proven to be unfounded.

Is it even possible that all these people naming streets and schools and towns after Obama might be jumping the gun just a little bit? I mean is it even conceivable to them that he might just be a lousy president?

I still remember being the cool guy in my class when I had both the before-the-name-change and after-the-name-change cards of the former player now known as World B. Free. Presumably, if Biden's in the deck, kids can play the same before and after games with his botox treatments.

In the meantime I'll check and see if Topps is getting any bailout cash. That would at least make things make more sense.

 

Texans boot Planned Parenthood Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 12/30/2008 8:00:00 AM

Planned Parenthood has been shut down in the Texas panhandle.

 

American Life League's (ALL) Stop Planned Parenthood, or Stopp International, says it took a long time, but their campaign against Planned Parenthood finally got some results. "For 12 years in the Texas panhandle, there has been a fight against Planned Parenthood," he notes. "Planned Parenthood, in 1997, operated 19 clinics in the Texas panhandle."
 
Then the state reduced funding for the organization, and pro-life workers also continued in their efforts to shut Planned Parenthood's doors. "And as of December 31, there will no longer be any Planned Parenthood offices in the Texas panhandle," Sedlak explains. "They will all be gone."
 
The two remaining clinics in Amarillo have disaffiliated with the national organization. Sedlak says other cities can accomplish the same goal if they are determined, and information on that is available on the Stopp website.

Obama at present finds himself in a trilemma:

(1) Does he state publicly that he was born in Hawaii if he knows he was not and thereby "perjure" himself in the court of public opinion should the truth be eventually discovered?  If he so swore under oath before Congress or any court of law, it would be actual perjury.

(2) Will he produce his original birth certificate which may show and will he tell the public the truth that he was not born in Hawaii but rather Kenya and thereby betray his natural instinct of self-preservation and his life-long ambition to be President of the United States?

or (3) Does he remain silent as to where he was born and continue to refuse to release his original birth certificate and thereby earn the contempt of those in the public who believe that he has not convincingly proven that he is a "natural born Citizen" and eligible to be President?  I submit that Obama has made the third choice.

The consequences for Obama are the least drastic and he gains the most benefits under the choice involving remaining silent and not producing his original birth certificate which is exactly what he has done to date.  There are at least two reasons for this:

Charges that Barack Obama is not a natural bot citizen of the U.S. and, therefore, constitutionally ineligible to serve as president top the list of the 10 most "spiked" or underreported stories of the last year, according to an annual survey.

At the end of each year, news organizations typically present their retrospective replays of what they consider to have been the top news stories in the previous 12 months.

The authors have long considered it far more newsworthy to publicize the most important unreported or underreported news events of the year -- to highlight perhaps for one last time major news stories that were undeservedly "spiked" by the establishment press.

Joseph Farah has sponsored "Operation Spike" every year since 1988, and since founding WorldNetDaily in May 1997, he has continued the annual tradition.

Here are the picks for the 10 most underreported stories of 2008.

And guess what?  FOUR of them are about Obama!   Including numero uno!

And just for fun, maybe this story will make the list for 2009? 

'Use Global Warming To Redistribute Wealth'. 

On Monday, one of Gore's leading scientific resources, Goddard Institute for Space Studies chief James Hansen, sent a letter to Barack and Michelle Obama specifically urging the president-elect to enact a tax on carbon emissions that would take money from higher-income Americans and distribute the proceeds to the less fortunate.

The eco-socialism cat was let out of the bag on page five of a PDF Hansen published at Columbia University's website on December 29

Wednesday, December 31, 2008 Obama's Kenyan Birth Evidence to be Revealed Friday, Online - Update Permission to copy and post this article's text is granted, I.O., AW.
Article updated below, originally posted, 12:xx AM

A private investigator in Hawaii has uncovered the divorce decree for Barack Obama's father and mother, which indicates they had "one child under the age of eighteen, born in Kenya." That is the report of Ed Hale of PlainsRadio.com, an Internet radio site which has focused upon the natural born Citizen challenges to Obama's presidential eligibility.

Hale announced this during his evening Internet broadcast on PlainsRadio.com, Tuesday, 12/30 and confirmed it with I.O. in an online interview, later that night. He reported that certified copies of this documentation have been sent from Hawaii by the investigator to himself and four others. Hale is to receive his copy today, Wednesday, 12/31 and plans to post it graphically on the site, during the day. He will also discuss this on a special Internet broadcast, between 6pm and 10pm Central Time, tonight. [I.O., 12/31, 2:30pm CT: Ed Hale has sent an email stating that his delivery has been delayed until Friday, 1/2. We wait another day for what he has to show. We can be patient in light of how long we wait for Barack Obama to admit the truth of his ineligibility per Article II (and show us the whole truth of his actual Hawaiian birth certificate, besides).] The site streams audio as soon as it is accessed via Web browser.

The Texan Internet entrepreneur relates he got fed up with the lack of documentation on Obama and decided to discuss ideas with his radio audience. His offer to hire an investigator was met with piecemeal sums of money from listeners to his broadcasts. Hale said some of the information one would expect to find was not available. For example, documentation from Obama's mother, Stanley Ann's divorce to her second husband, Lolo Soetoro had vanished. Hale speculates, the reason this forthcoming 1964 divorce decree had not also been "scrubbed" could be that the divorce had been filed not by Obama's mother, but by Barack H. Obama, Sr. Thus, it may have been overlooked by any plumbers for Obama.

Hale does admit to incomplete certainty of his investigator's work until he receives it, partially due to the PI's accent, the telephone connection, and his slight hearing impediment. However, he is very confident of what he will receive during the day. Mark S. McGrew, who writes about Obama's natural born Citizen problems for Pravda.ru, accompanied Hale in his broadcast and also expressed confidence. McGrew had sought publication in numerous American news outlets, but they turned down his articles referring to Obama's apparent ineligibility. Russia's Pravda however, decided his effort to find and report the truth was not to be redlined.

As often related, Barack Obama, due simply to his U.K. citizenship at birth via his Kenyan father, is not a natural born Citizen of America, by definition and the original intent for that term in the Constitution. The Supreme Court has turned down cases which make this point, but according to a September decision in a lower federal court (regarding John McCain's eligibility problem) this would be due to a question of jurisdiction, until Congress is to certify the Electoral College vote on January 8. Further action is to occur, after this date. You may read about this in previous I.O. articles and the sites linked in its sidebar.

Meanwhile, on the question of Obama's place of birth, professionals dealing with documents and forensic evidence have testified that the online "certificate of live birth" provided by Obama is not identifiable evidence of American birth. Now, if Obama's parents' divorce decree states that he was born in Kenya (as his Kenyan grandmother has repeatedly stated) the second epistemological wheel is coming off his vehicle to the White House.

Will Congress pay attention and do its Constitutional duty?

 

December 16, 2008 Rezko’s Lawyer Owns Obama’s House

By DemocracyRules

This is another scandal that just keeps growing.  When it first became known that Rezko helped Obama buy his house, Obama himself called the deal “boneheaded”.

Now things look much worse, because Rezko ‘s lawyer owns the house.  His name is William Miceli, and Obama formerly worked for him.

 

Documents here  Download 5046_Greenwood_AV_Lexus

Why would Rezko’s lawyer own Obama’s house?

There are several explanations, and none look good.   Obama tried to buy the house because Michelle wanted it.  “According to My DD: Direct Democracy, in 2004, Barack’s wife, Michelle, was on the board of the Commission of Chicago Landmarks and in this capacity, learned of a designated historical home in Kenwood that was for sale — the home and the adjacent land at 5046 South Greenwood.”

But the sellers were asking more than the market value.  They also insisted on selling the adjacent empty lot at the same time.  The house and the two lots together made an attractive package, because it became a corner property with a big yard.

House picture here

The price was too high for Obama, so he went to Rezko for help.   Rezko’s plan was to buy the adjacent property on the same day Obama bought the house.  Obama would still have to overpay, even for just the house.  But once the whole deal was finished, the package would become a reasonably good deal.

Obama (or William Miceli) bought the house, and Rezko’s wife bought the adjoining lot.  Then Obama got a strip of the lot from Rezko’s wife for about $100,000.  This did two things.  It expanded the house lot, which increased the house value. The picture shows a new fence that Obama had built along the new property line.  It also made the adjacent lot so narrow, it’s unlikely anyone who bought it could make money building something on it.  They might not even be able to get a building permit.  So essentially the deal gave Obama a house and the use of two lots.

Michelle had the house she wanted, and the Obama’s had a house that looked “Senatorial”.

But the deal was unethical because Rezko had conferred a benefit by helping Obama obtain something he couldn’t otherwise afford.

And since Rezko’s lawyer actually owns the property, a benefit is still being conferred to Obama all the time he lives there.

But wait, there’s more!  The mortgaged amount is very high.   It’s so high it violates the ordinary lending rules for Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, which carries the mortgage.  This is probably legal, because the owners set up a complicated land trust arrangement to bypass those rules.  But why? And who pays this mortgage?  Why would Obama pay a mortgage on a house he doesn’t own?  Does he just pay rent, while Rezko’s lawyer pays the mortgage?

But wait, there’s even more! It’s now clear the adjacent lot was overvalued by Rezko’s bank.  At the time, an appraiser said it was worth $500,000.  But Rezko’s bank unilaterally upped the value to about $650,000.  This enabled Rezko’s wife to get a bigger mortgage on the lot.  Bank employee Kenneth J. Conner found out, and complained this was mortgage fraud.  Overvaluing a property to get a bigger mortgage is against the law.  Conner blew the whistle, but he was fired.  Now he’s suing the bank.

Conner filed a civil complaint in October with the Illinois Circuit Court in Cook County alleging he was fired by Mutual Bank of Harvey, Ill., because he objected to land appraisals submitted on behalf of the Rezkos and the Obamas, with the complicity of the bank. 

After he was fired, Conner told World Net Daily that the bank and the Rezkos were engaged in "fraud, bribes or kickbacks, use whatever term you want," to benefit the Obamas. 

But wait there’s even more!  Rezko borrowed money for the deal from his friend and backer Nadhmi Auchi, a British billionaire from Iraq who was mixed up in the oil-for food scandal.  Auchi has a very complicated past, and he’s very litigous about any mention of his name.

Does Nadhmi Auchi effectively own or control the house Obama lives in?

Now there’s word that Patrick Fitzgerald is getting interested in these dealings.  I sure hope he does.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!   Please remember our brave soldiers who cannot be with their families today.  Bless them........

Peace On Earth

Time Magazine asked Obama, "When voters look at your Administration two years from now, in the off-year election, how will they know whether you’re succeeding?"

Obama responded, "I think there are a couple of benchmarks we’ve set for ourselves during the course of this campaign.  On [domestic] policy, have we helped this economy recover from what is the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression?  Have we instituted financial regulations and rules of the road that assure this kind of crisis doesn’t occur again?  Have we created jobs that pay well and allow families to support themselves?  Have we made significant progress on reducing the cost of health care and expanding coverage?  Have we begun what will probably be a decade-long project to shift America to a new energy economy?  Have we begun what may be an even longer project of revitalizing our public-school systems so we can compete in the 21st century?  That’s on the domestic front."

"On foreign policy, have we closed down Guantánamo in a responsible way, put a clear end to torture and restored a balance between the demands of our security and our Constitution?  Have we rebuilt alliances around the world effectively?  Have I drawn down U.S. troops out of Iraq, and have we strengthened our approach in Afghanistan -- not just militarily but also diplomatically and in terms of development?  And have we been able to reinvigorate international institutions to deal with transnational threats, like climate change, that we can’t solve on our own?"

Interesting?  We, we, we -- except when he speaks of Iraq, then it's "I."  Now that the War in Iraq is all over, except for the parades, Obama is getting ready to take all the credit.  Had we followed Obama's plan, we would have withdrawn in disgrace, and al Qaeda in Iraq and the Insurgents would be ruling Iraq.

And, what is this stuff? -- "...put a clear end to torture" -- torture is listening to this lying sack of excrement.

And, this? -- "the demands of...our Constitution" -- this guy doesn't give a damn about the demands of our Constitution, especially Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.

Obama's worldview is a frightening blend of "The Twilight Zone" and "The Amateur Hour."

Curt Wrotnowksi's case,  Wrotnowksi v. Connecticut Secretary of State, has been denied by the U. S. Supreme Court.

Docket #08A469 -- The application for stay and/or injunction addressed to Justice Scalia and referred to the Court is denied.

Update:  Judicial review is allowed only after the Electoral College vote and Congressional Certification.

The Justices denied the "stay' but have retained the "certori."  It isn’t dead.  They’re waiting for the Electoral College to actually elect him.  Obama is not President Elect until after the Electoral College "elects" him.  Then Congress must approve the Election.  Only one senator AND only one representative are needed to stop Obama’s election approval.

Mechanisms exist under the Twelfth Amendment and 3 U.S.C. 15 for any challenge to any candidate to be ventilated when electoral votes are counted, and the Twentieth Amendment provides guidance regarding how to proceed if a president elect shall have failed to qualify.

Issues regarding qualifications or lack thereof can be laid before the voting public before the election and, once the election is over, can be raised as objections as the electoral votes are counted in Congress. 

Therefore, this order holds that the challenge presented by plaintiff is committed under the Constitution to the electors and the legislative branch, at least in the first instance.  Judicial review, if any, should occur only after the electoral and Congressional processes have run their course.

The federal government does not take official notice of the presidential election until the current Vice President opens the ballots on January 8th; the court is simply acting on this legal fact.

Only one senator AND only one representative -- so start writing yours today!
