November 1, 200817 yr Why bother. Eventually this will get sorted out. Wait till he's president. Can he be impeached IF this were true? What happens next if that happens? I don't know what happens, but I would think if Obama were impeached, then Biden would become President. I think that scares many more than Obama being president. :lol:
November 1, 200817 yr Author Why bother. Eventually this will get sorted out. Wait till he's president. Can he be impeached IF this were true? What happens next if that happens?Sure, the heavily Democratic Congress will hold Obama accountable by impeaching him - not. The courts are the only possible way that Obama will ever be forced to prove his eligibility to hold the office.
November 1, 200817 yr How did Berg become the attorney for all of this, isn't he the one that wanted Bush arrested after 9/11? Didn't he call for the disbarment of supreme court justices after the 2000 election? He's seems to have a history of trying to make a name for himself and it never goes anywhere.

He's seems to have a history of trying to make a name for himself and it never goes anywhere.The guy does seem to crave attention but he is a former assistant AG of Pennsylvania and a strong Hillary Clinton supporter. None of that means that he is wrong about Obama's citizenship status. I don't believe that Berg has taken the position that Obama is not a natural born citizen. His position is that given the apparently bogus birth certificate posted by Daily Kos and then re-posted on Obama's web site and Obama's paternal grandmother's claim that she attended Obama's birth in Nairobi that Obama should be compelled to prove that he is eligible to become president before the election.

I understand what you're saying. It just seems that if this were as big of a deal as it's being made out to be that there would be an attorney working it who is a little less eccentric and over the top. His presence seems a little fishy to me but I could be wrong. I really don't have an opinion on the matter, I just don't understand why Obama won't prove his citizenship so we can all move on to more important matters.
November 1, 200817 yr Isn't that very juvenile? Why won't you tell me? B/c I don't have to. Seriously??? This is big boy stuff here, not kids games. Produce the document and put it to rest if you are not a Kenyan. Not juvenile at all. It's called not wasting your time with silly ridiculous suits. If this is really what the GOP is banking on...they deserve to lose.
November 1, 200817 yr Author Not juvenile at all. It's called not wasting your time with silly ridiculous suits. If this is really what the GOP is banking on...they deserve to lose.Berg is a Democrat.
November 1, 200817 yr Berg is a Democrat.I know. I meant the GOP members who seem to hold dearly to the notion that he is either, a) a Muslim, b) not a natural born citizen, or c) both.
November 1, 200817 yr Author I know. I meant the GOP members who seem to hold dearly to the notion that he is either, a) a Muslim, b) not a natural born citizen, or c) both.There is no religious litmus test for the presidency - if people want to vote for a man who immersed himself in the brand of marxism known as black liberation theology for 20 years, then that is their right as American citizens. However, there is constitutional requirement that people serving as president meet the definition of a natural born citizen. Voters have a right to know that the candidates running for the presidency meet the basic constitutional requirements of the presidency. There is nothing unreasonable about demanding that Obama prove that he is qualified to serve before tens of millions of Americans cast their ballots. This is not a privacy issue. Obama's Kenyan grandmother says that he was born in Kenya. Obama needs to respond to the legitimate concerns about his citizenship.

Obama's Kenyan grandmother says that he was born in Kenya. Obama needs to respond to the legitimate concerns about his citizenship. No he does not. Only conspiracy nuts thinks he was born somewhere other than where he was. If Berg has facts and info., he should expose it. Even the courts say it was based on rumor. It is silly and 90% of the people know that it is silly. The burden of proof is on the accuser, and he has nothing.
November 1, 200817 yr From watching this play out, whose responsibility is it to make sure that candidate DOES meet all the requirements? Is it the party's? Is it each individual states responsibility? Is it Congress, Senate, House? National Attorney General? Who is responsible for making sure that they meet all the requirements? If it is the state level, did McCain and Obama supply a birth ceritificate to 50 different states?
November 1, 200817 yr Right to privacy is a right completely made up by our supreme court to further at the time a liberal agenda. It's no where in the Constitution and when you have to imply things from the constitution to me thats the same as saying they were made up. Sorry, can't let this one pass. There were two conservative justices that signed onto Griswold V. Connecticut. I doubt they had a "liberal agenda".
November 1, 200817 yr Sorry, can't let this one pass. There were two conservative justices that signed onto Griswold V. Connecticut. I doubt they had a "liberal agenda". Were they conservative or Republican? Not necessarily the same thing. Similar to Democrat and liberal. Not necessarily the same thing.
November 1, 200817 yr Were they conservative or Republican? Not necessarily the same thing. Similar to Democrat and liberal. Not necessarily the same thing. They were conservative justices. Most opinions they handed down were composed of conservative jurisprudence.
November 1, 200817 yr Author No he does not. Only conspiracy nuts thinks he was born somewhere other than where he was. If Berg has facts and info., he should expose it. Even the courts say it was based on rumor. It is silly and 90% of the people know that it is silly. The burden of proof is on the accuser, and he has nothing.The burden of proof in a civil case is on the plaintiff but the burden to obtain a trial on an issue of fact is not the same as winning such a trial. I do not know the specifics about the other trials but Berg has cast enough doubt on Obama's eligibility that the judge should have allowed discovery to proceed. What is nuts is Obamunists insisting that Obama should not prove that his grandmother is lying and that he is eligible to be president, as McCain has done voluntarily.
