    Hey Omarr, you are way behind. The question is not about Obama's birth certificate, but about his adoption by his step-father in Indonesia, making him a citizen of Indonesia, and whether he used an Indonesian passport when he traveled to Pakistan after he graduated, thereby claiming Indonesian citizenship for himself.

    Obama needs to cough up his passport, the one stamped with his visa to Pakistan and entry and exit stamps. Was it an Indonesian passport? US citizens were not given visas to enter Pakistan at the time, so I doubt he was using a US passport, but then I could be wrong.

      Being adopted by someone does not make you automatically a citizen of another country.

    Barak is the man. He's kicked ass all through life against all odds, and he's going to kick ass in the White house against all odds.
    The mess that he is inheriting from the right wing conservative government is not going to be any easy task. The right wing conservatives have f*cked this great country over so bad, by being the screw over the middle class and poor and making the rich richer party.
    I'm already looking forward to all the ignorant bullsh*t that you right wing conservatives are going to try and blame Obama for, even though it was your right wing policies, legislation and president that got is in the mess we are in nowadays and Barak is going to have to clean up.
    No doubt he'll get blamed for out national debt day one that the right wing conservatives have built up to what is it nowadays 10-12 trillion.

    Senior Dems Concerned Over McCain Gains
    The Hill by Alexander Bolton Aug. 25, 2008

    DENVER ??? Senior Democratic politicians are signaling concern about Sen. Barack Obama???s (Ill.) slip in the polls and are urging him to regain his edge against GOP rival Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).

    Rep. John Dingell (Mich.), the longest-serving House Democrat, said Obama must realize the primary season is behind him and Republicans will ???run a very rough campaign against him.???

    Dingell???s critique comes in the wake of polls showing that McCain has gained ground on Obama since the Democratic senator left the campaign trail for a family vacation in Hawaii. A CNN poll released Monday showed McCain and Obama in a dead heat.

    ???The campaign has not yet taken off,??? said Dingell in a telephone interview. ???He???s got to address things that go into a presidential campaign as opposed to a primary campaign. They???re very different campaigns.???

    Even Obama???s allies, including Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the co-chairman of Obama???s campaign, acknowledge McCain has gained ground. Durbin said Obama???s absence from the news cycle during his Hawaii vacation, combined with Russia???s invasion of Georgia, gave McCain a chance to dominate the race over the last 10 days.

    ???We realize over the last week or 10 days that John McCain has had a 12-0 run in this basketball game,??? said Durbin, who hastened to add: ???We know the momentum can shift.

    ???My observation is, and I talked a little bit about it with Barack after [his] tour overseas with dramatic positive results, that we expected an evening of the playing field,??? he said.

    Dingell said Obama can regain momentum if he addresses substantive issues such as a withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, rebuilding of the nation???s roads and infrastructure, and the lack of health insurance for an estimated 47 million Americans, including 1 million in Michigan.

    Dingell???s words carry weight because of his seniority in the House and his knowledge of Michigan politics. The AFL-CIO, an important ally of the Democratic Party, has identified Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania as the three most important battleground states of the campaign.

    Durbin said Obama???s family vacation was ???well-deserved,??? but blamed Russia???s invasion of Georgia for focused media attention on McCain???s national security credentials. McCain is a former prisoner of war and senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

    ???All those things came together in a moment giving McCain the field ??? I mean, a stronger position than he might have otherwise have had,??? Durbin said.

    How do you know that I don't enjoy doing both?
    For your info., I do donate to organizations that work in Africa.

    Better yet, what has Barry done?

      I get so tired of hearing disparagement of Democratic voters and others as "delicate" or "sissies" or

      I can guarantee you that I could beat the living spit out of 90-95% of the right-wing protesters I see on the streets. I've had three 200lb+ people trying to tackle me to the ground before and subdue me, and they weren't successful. If I'd actually been fighting back instead of just defending myself someone might have really gotten hurt.

      The problem is, the second anyone does that, you switch around and claim that they're "violent" and "criminal" and need to be locked up. So if someone doesn't stand up for him/herself and throw a punch, he/she is a "sissy", if he/she does, it's "terrorist" instead.

      What you really are trying to say, I think, is that people who don't agree with you are inferior. It would be nice to see some of the more extreme right-wing folks these days own up to it.

        Nins, if this is you, I am glad to have you back.

          I'm not Nins (and I wish he/she'd come back too) but I do appreciate the comment.

          There's nothing new under the sun. At the beginning of this year, I was utterly terrified about the ferocity of all these right-wing voices, and the inhumanity of a lot of them...but truthfully it's gone on forever. There were condescending, bitterly unhappy voices screaming baseless insults in the 1960s, there were the same in 1906, and it's the same now.

          But the truth is that we're living in a time of tremendous progress. A black man could never have gotten a Presidential nomination in the 1960s - also, everyone is so upset about people "stifling" dissent against the Iraq war and whatnot, but the truth is that it hasn't been stifled, at least not anywhere in the realm that it was in the past. In WWI under Woodrow Wilson, under the Sedition Act of 1918, it was actually completely illegal to use "disloyal" language about the government or flag or armed forces.

          A theme underlying all of this is that the more progress we make, the more panicked the extreme neocons will get, and the more shrill the commentary will become. Bigotry dies kicking and screaming and unwillingly, but it does die. You have to divide the amount of shrill screaming on here by about a factor of 10 to find the true impact - most of the people who don't share those kinds of views are out living, teaching their kids, recreating, and generally living their lives. It's a very very small collection of people screaming on here for a magazine that has a weekly circulation of a few million.

          Personally, I think we should all judge the amount of progress we're making by the volume of Roller's posts. The higher the volume, the better we're doing. After all, if we weren't making great strides in tolerance every day, he wouldn't have a damn thing to scream about. ;)

            Also, just as a final coda to this, I walked outside reflecting on how much I believed in what I'd just said, and looked up at the stars. I live in an area with very little light pollution and the sweep of the Milky Way - the band of millions of stars that make up our galaxy - is just about visible to the naked eye as a luminescent dusty cloud. Thinking about that vast expanse and beauty, most of the yelling seems suddenly pretty inconsequential. It's a beautiful universe.

    Congratulations Senator Biden!

    Being of Irish-Catholic heritage, Joe Biden is the right choice for VP.

    He has a wealth of experience, and he's a fighter by nature.

    It will be interesting to see if Bill O'Reilly is willing to supplant a fellow Irishman in his laudable undertaking.

    Congratulations Senator Biden!

    • Posted By: loriw @ 08/24/2008 9:53:54 PM

      how does Irish-Catholic Biden reconcile being a VP on a ticket with a candidate that not only supports abortion but also infanticide?

        This A.M....Tom Brokaw asked Pelosi....Madame Speaker...in your opinion, when does life begin??? The Witch-Queen gave an AMAZING answer.....(paraphrase) "As a Catholic I often struggle with this question...Just as the Church does. We have discussed this in the church, for centuries, and have yet to come to a conclusion."....Brokaw raised his eyebrows and said(paraphrasing) " I think the Catholic Church will quite quickly tell you, life begins at the moment of conception." Pelosi muttered something awkwardly and changed subject. As wierd as witchiepoo is this answer shocked me. She is a dunce.

      Biden was accused of plagiarism while in law school.

      Biden was accused of multiple plagiarisms when running for POYUS in '88. He withdrew.

      Biden is a racist.....GOOGLE...Joe Biden racist comments. Hussein was a target of it

      Biden is almost as arrogant as The False One

      Biden's son is a lobbyist in Washington...Do I hear CHANGE???

      Biden finished LAST in the DNC primary....He got less than10,000 votes. Clinton got 18,000,000.

    It looks like there is new life going into OBAMAs BIRTH ISSUE. A prominent attorney and Hillary supporter (also Former Chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Dem. State Committee and former Deputy Attorney General of PA) has FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST BARACK OBAMA, the DNC and the FEC. Looks like this story may in fact have legs. Guess we will see after the DNC:

    Obama Sued in Philadelphia Federal Court on Grounds he is Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency
    by Jeff Schreiber

    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, the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE and the FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION. 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.

    PHILIP 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.

    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.

    Berg cited a number of UNANSWERED QUESTIONS regarding the Illinois senators background, and in todays 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.

    ( CONTINUED FROM ANOTHER POST ABOVE - Obama sued in Philadelphia Federal Court on Grounds he is constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency)


    Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senators 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.

    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, Obamas 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. Obamas own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham, Obamas mother, GAVE BIRTH to little Barack in KENYA and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.

    Berg cites INCONSISTENT ACCOUNTS of Sen. Obamas birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals: 1. Kapiolani Hospital and 2. 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.

    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. Obamas 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.

    ( CONTINUED FROM ANOTHER POST ABOVE - Obama sued in Philadelphia Federal Court on Grounds he is constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency)


    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. Obamas 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.

    The HAWAIIAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE, Berg says, is a FORGERY. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obamas half-sister.

    Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obamas lies and obfuscations, Berg stated. IF the DNC officers HAD PERFORMED one
    ounce of DUE DILIGENCE we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has LOST THEIR CITIZENSHIP AS A CHILD and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws.

    It is unfair to the country, he continued, for candidates of either party to become the nominee WHEN THERE IS ANY QUESTION OF THE ABILITY TO SERVE if elected.

    Another newspaper reporting on Berg Federal lawsuit...Philadelphia Herald-Times......

    Born in the U.S.A.?
    By: KEITH PHUCAS, Times Herald Staff08/25/2008
    Email to a friendPost a CommentPrinter-friendly

    PHILADELPHIA - A Lafayette Hill attorney filed a lawsuit in federal court Thursday challenging Sen. Barack Obama's claim to United States citizenship. The action seeks to remove the Democratic candidate from the November ballot.
    To be eligible to serve as U.S. president, a person must be born in this country. According to Obama's birth certificate, which his campaign posted on its Internet site in June to quell rumors that he is foreign born, the Illinois senator was born in Hawaii on Aug. 6, 1961.
    On Thursday, Philip Berg filed a temporary restraining order in federal court to bar Obama from running for president, claiming the Democratic candidate was actually born in Africa.
    "We really don't believe he was born in Hawaii," Berg said. "We think he was born in Kenya."
    The presidential candidate's father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, according to Obama's campaign Web site.
    Berg's suit claims the senator's grandmother, brother and sister, who live in Kenya, believe they were present during Obama's birth in the African country.
    Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in Kansas, and his parents met at the University of Hawaii when Dunham was a student there, according to the Obama campaign.
    Eventually, Obama's father returned to Kenya, and his son grew up in Hawaii with his mother and for a few years in Indonesia after Dunham married an Indonesian man, Lolo Soetoro. Also, Obama lived with his maternal grandparents in Hawaii.
    "If he was born in Hawaii, and he was adopted in Indonesia by Lolo Soetoro, (Obama) would lose his citizenship," Berg said.
    The Obama campaign has a special section on its Web site, "Fight the Smears," that debunks the birth certificate story and other reports that have circulated about him during the campaign.
    "It's part of a smear campaign," said an Obama campaign volunteer who identified herself as Rachel. "There are just so many lies out there."
    The lawsuit claims three "independent" document forensic experts performed extensive tests on the digitally-scanned image of Obama's "Certificate of Live Birth" posted on the campaign's site and found the document to be "a forgery."
    Jerome Corsi, author of the book, "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," has also deemed the birth certificate phony, according to The Annenberg Political Fact Check, www.FactCheck.org.

    First, McCain signed up for a tour of duty in Vietnam, dropping Napalm on innocent third world children, basically, frying their skin off while they were alive. Then, he deserts his crippled wife, who helped get him out of the P.O.W. camp for a younger, richer woman. Next, he is a key participate, inlcuding the cover up, in the 1980's savings and loan scandal. Finally, he cheats on his second wife with a lobbyist. And Obama needs a shrink!!!

      Rwal, OBVIOUSLY you've NEVER served your country in COMBAT....For those of us who have, we find it terribly OFFENSIVE for you to speak for those who are unable to speak for themselves..THE POW/MIA...
      MY dad was a Ranger in Vietnam...and he's told me repeatedly how happy they were to hear the sound of those jets coming in to cover their butts...SO, as far as killing innocents, that's Kerry's BULLCRAP, which caused more pain and suffering for those still in Vietnam...Kerry is just another Jane Fonda...FULL OF BULLS&*((,,,,,

    In response to the piece, On His Own, I am hopeful that we will see additional pieces about how John McCain was on his own in Viet Nam, and see some balance.

      He wasn't alone! There are hundred's of other POW's that were there also and aren't getting anything for their sacrifice! John McCain was a POW because he was an idiot! If he would have been held to the same standard's as everyone else in flight school he would have flunked out. The only reason he made it through was because of daddy. He wrecked 4 out of the 5 aircraft he was assigned to and somehow recieved medals for a mere 20 hour's of flight time. Other pilot's with better flight record's and more time in the seat didn't receive squat! I respect his service to this great nation, but there are a lot of other POW's that sacrificed a hell of a lot more than he did and haven't got anything to show for it. He has never made smart quick decision's and this war in Iraq is a good example. We borrow 2 billion dollar's a month from China to finance the war in Iraq! How bad do you think it will be if he were to get into office? First he will reinstate the draft, then he will invade every country he was mad at from his time in Vietnam and when he does your kid's will go to war for him! This is no time for a President with a Cold War mentality. This country is changing and we need a new, younger perspective in the White House that can help this country adapt to that change. Unfortunately this something John McCain just can't do, just look at his policy's!

    Joe Biden argued on the first day of the announcement of his selection that John McCain is nothing more than a mere clone of George Bush. Joe Biden knows that John McCain ran against George Bush 43 for the Republican nomination in 2000 and millions of Republicans supported John McCain over George Bush during the 2000 primaries. John McCain also gave a ringing nominating speech for Bob Dole at the Republican Convention in 1996. For all of those who don???t remember Bob Dole also had run a spirited primary contest against George Bush???s father George H. W. Bush 41 in 1988.

    To say that John McCain is a clone of George Bush can not be any further from the truth and it is like saying Barack Obama is a clone of Hillary Clinton.

      mccain has been a clone of bush ever since he caved to the same "base' that bush calls his

      Ok, I think even most Republican's will admit that the John McCain of 2000 wouldn't vote for the current John McCain! Almost everyone one of John McCain's policy's are in line with George Bush Jr.! He has flip-flopped on every issue from campaign finance to taxes! I said it before and I will say it again, unless your already rich if you vote for McCain you better hope you have a lot of money in that saving's account and no children under 35. First he will tax the hell out of you and then when he goes to war with every country that he get's upset with, you can kiss your kid's goodbye because he has already made it clear that he is in favor of reinstating the draft! Sound's like a real winner to me! Moron's!
