Sen.Obama, Served on Behalf of Philip Berg, Esq. Re: Natural-born Citizen or Not
Lawsuit questions Obama's eligibility for office: citenship claim at issue
Pennsylvania's former deputy attorney general and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter Philip J. Berg has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Pennsylvania accusing presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of lying about his U.S. citizenship, which would make him ineligible to be president.
Mr. Berg is one of a faction of Clinton supporters who haven't heeded the party's call for unity, filing the suit just days before the opening of the Democratic National Convention, which will nominate Mr. Obama as the party's presidential candidate.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia last week, also names the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission and says Mr. Obama´s mother went to Kenya late in her pregnancy and ended up giving birth there. It also claims that later in life, Mr. Obama declared himself a citizen of Indonesia.
The Obama campaign has firmly said the Illinois Democrat is a natural-born citizen. Last month, the campaign posted on Mr. Obama's Web site a copy of his "certification of live birth." It says he was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, two years after Hawaii was named the 50th state.
Mr. Berg said he was contacted about filing the lawsuit by a member or associate of the group PUMA, which was formed to support Mrs. Clinton shortly after she withdrew from the race. Its mission includes denouncing the Democratic Party and Mr. Obama's nomination.
"I really do not believe he is a natural-born citizen," said Mr. Berg, adding that he is not connected with Mrs. Clinton or her campaign.

Wild Thing's comment........
There was a question as to McCain and Obama being citizens. McCain was cleared long ago but not Obama. Puma has been going after this like crazy ever since the votes were stolen from Hillary and it looks like it is starting to be taken seriously. Maybe , maybe not, this legal stuff is always confusing to me.
Nobody threw the suit out about Obama, the judge simply delayed it until Obama could be served. Well, now he is served, and whether it goes anywhere or not, it will shake up the game.
I wonder how the server got through the secret service? Maybe when Obama said he would do the interview with O'Reilly or was that taped and done awhile back , not sure.
Just out of curiousity, if the candidate had to remove himself from the race at this point, how would they choose another candidate?
OK I just checked with some research and found this:
Per the Rules of the DNC:“Filling a Vacancy on the National Ticket: In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies.”
I doubt though this is going anywhere other then to upset Obama and throw him off balance for awhile. My thinking is this particular suit could be thrown out since Berg ‘claims’ the RNC has the source documents proving the claim. Since Berg doesn’t have them he really doesn’t have any hard evidence.
BUT if the ‘claims’ are true and the RNC does have the hard evidence could be a different ballgame later.
Too much drama for me. I like things a lot cleaner. See the enemy, aim and shoot. Feel the recoil and clean the gun. hahaahahhaa Sorry could not resist only kidding , but all this drama is just too much. LOL
I haven't posted on this because it all seems like a soap opera and not real. His mom was a citizen so wouldn't that make him a citizen too. (?)
Also Obama is a guy who wants GIs to read foreign terrorists captured abroad their Miranda Rights. He doesn't want to monitor terrorist communications. He wants to end enhanced scrutiny of visa applicants from Muslim countries. He is a ZERO in the War on Terror. That to me ranks higher on the food chart. Besides I would rather run against Obama then Hillary. I want us to win and I think we can now going up against Obama. Also Hillary has too many dead associations in her life. Yikes ( eyes rolling here) haha

Obama is the love of the Democrats- why I don't know-- I really hope the RNP can hang his butt on something- and that the media - turns on him-- that would make my year!! Obama is a SNAKE- --If the DNC had to nominate some one else- Pelosi would probably put her stinky butt up - my god those people are nutty!!!! They probably would turn their backs on Hillary just to be true to Obama!! BIDEN WOULD BE RUNNING AS PRESIDENT!!! HA !!

I think his mother being a US citizen makes Obama an American citizen. However, if this lawsuit is a embarassing nuisance to him, that is good.
McCain was born of American citizens in US Territory, the Panama Canal Zone.

Thanks Chrissie, I've been waiting for this suit to surface. If it does nothing more it will bring pause and doubt to this reckless Marxist in more scrutiny and public exposure in the less than 60 days before the election. I'd rather he ride it out and lose than forfeit and we get Hillary or Biden as a replacement. The sting of that slap would last longer, no matter how Bill O'Reilly tries to dress him up as a human being.

I have a liberal friend who lived in Europe for about 17 years and that explains a lot. He to insisted that if Obama's mother was a US citizen, then her baby would also be a citizen and this was just a BS plot by Hillery die hards.
The problem noted in the law suit is that the mother must be 19 years old for this to apply. O's mother was 18 at the time. And if he had been naturalized, he probably lost his US citizen ship when he left the country for 10 or 12 years of his youth. In those days, you needed to return to the US and live here for a while after a 5-year out of country stay.
I agree that this may just become an unpleasant road bump for BO, but it may also get some real traction. TB

I heard today Hillary said, or her people said, she would NOT berate or attack Sarah Palin. I am assuming they are thinking it would be counterproductive to any Hillary campaigns.
As Rhod said, i can't believe anyone would go to the Clintons with hat in hand and begging them for this. If they did payback is a b#tch.

Cheryl, yes the democrats sure do love him and the media is still crazy about him. Crazy in the true sense of the word too. hahaa

Tom, I agree...."if this lawsuit is a embarassing nuisance to him, that is good.".
Your right about McCain too, that is why I was so surprised when they have to have documents submitted to the Presidential committee whatever it is called to make it legal to show proof. I guess they do that with everyone so there never are any questions.

Jack, thank you I am so glad. It gets confusing to me that is another reason I have not posted about it. There are so many tangents to the whole thing it makes it hard to post about it and have the post make sense.
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 5, 2008 08:07 PM
I read about the lawsuit on WND and they are saying something about being 18 and so many years in this country. They think they have a good case. But if not the embarrassment should be worth the hit as Tom says.
Posted by: Mark at September 5, 2008 08:09 PM
tango bravo, thanks for the information. It gets confusing when they change the laws or rules for this like you said the age of the mother was ok but only after a certain year then the laws changed.
It will be interesting to watch from the sidelines to see what happens.
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 5, 2008 08:12 PM
Mark, yes your right and that is they thing. Hillary can't really attack Palin or the women that voted for Hillary will get mad at Hillary since so many of them are switching to vote for McCain.....according to those websites they have.
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 5, 2008 08:15 PM
Mark, thank you so much for that information.
LOL at least we know it is keeping Obama upset and that is always a plus.
Thank you!!
