A Pennsylvania lawsuit alleging that Barack Obama is not a “natural-born citizen” of the United States took an unusual twist this week, after a federally mandated deadline requiring Obama’s lawyers to produce a “vault” copy of his birth certificate expired with no response from Obama or his lawyers. The lawsuit, filed by former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General Philip J. Berg — a self-avowed supporter of Hillary Clinton — alleges that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and is thus “ineligible” to run for president of the United States. It demands that Obama’s lawyers produce a copy of his original birth certificate to prove that he is a natural-born U.S. citizen. Berg's suit and allegations have set off a wave of Internet buzz and rumors, though Obama could easily have put the matter to rest by providing the federal court with the basic documentation proving he is eligible to take the oath of a president. But Obama has apparently decided to deny the court and the public that documentation. The Constitution provides that any U.S. citizen is eligible to become president if the person is 35 years of age or older and is a
natural-born citizen; that is, born in the territorial United States. By failing to respond to the Request for Admissions and Request for the Production of Documents within 30 days, Obama has “admitted” that he was born in Kenya, Berg stated this week in new court filings. Berg released a long list of “admissions” he submitted to Obama’s lawyers on Sept. 15, and asked that they produce documents relating to Obama’s place of birth and citizenship. Instead of responding, lawyers for Obama and the DNC asked the court to dismiss the case. But Judge R. Barclay Surrick of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has issued no ruling in the case that would have given Obama’s lawyers more time. “There are lots of legal ways to stonewall,” a well-placed Republican attorney told Newsmax, who was not authorized to comment officially on the case. “But failing to respond is not one of them.” “The first thing they teach you in law school,” he added,"is don’t put a complaint like this in a drawer. That’s how a nuisance case can become a problem.” The 30-day deadline for defendants to comply with a discovery request is set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures. “It all comes down to the fact that there's nothing from the other side,” Berg said after he filed a motion on Thursday for summary judgment. “The admissions are there. By not filing the answers or objections, the defense has admitted everything. [Obama] admits he was born in Kenya. He admits he was adopted in Indonesia. He admits that the documentation posted online is a phony. And he admits that he is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president of the United States.” In a contentious case, lawyers on both sides will haggle over the production of documents, and will frequently go beyond the deadlines, several lawyers told Newsmax. “The rules are more often complied with in the breech rather than the observance,” a senior trial attorney who has close ties to the Democrat Party, but is not involved in the current case, told Newsmax. “Lawyers frequently do not return telephone calls or meet discovery deadlines because of sheer nadvertence. Therefore, we do not consider a failure to respond as a ‘violation,’” he said. Allegations surrounding Obama’s place of birth have been swirling for months. Earlier this year, the Obama campaign sought to put down the rumors by making available a computer-generated Certification of Live Birth, issued in 2007 by the State of Hawaii. Respected conservative blogger Ed Morrissey called the Berg lawsuit a “conspiracy theory” that had been put to rest by the Obama campaign over the summer but ”has arisen like a zombie yet again to suck the credibility out of the conservative blogosphere.” However, the 2007 document produced by the Obama campaign omits key information that normally appears on birth certificates in the United States, including the name of the hospital where he was born, the size and weight of the baby, and sometimes the name of the doctor who delivered him. In addition, the critics of the 2007 document note that Obama's father is described as “African,” a term used today. The formal language in official documents at the time — 1961 — would have identified his race as “Negro” or “Colored.” The Web site snarkybytes.com has produced a vault copy of a Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth from 1963, issued by the Hawaii Department of Health. In addition to naming the hospital and more details about the baby, the 1963 vault copy also includes the “usual residence of the mother,” and the “usual occupation” of the father. None of this information appears on the 2007 Live Birth certificate produced by the Obama campaign. Berg has been a perennial political candidate in Pennsylvania, having run in Democrat primaries for attorney general, lieutenant
governor, governor, and other offices without success. He served as deputy attorney general of the State of Pennsylvania from 1972-1980. His credibility was tarnished by work he did for the far-left “9/11 for the Truth” campaign, which alleged in a federal lawsuit that the collapse of the twin towers in New York was caused by “controlled demolition” ordered by the president of the United States. Nevertheless, in recent weeks, lawsuits have been filed in seven additional states demanding that Barack Obama produce an original vault copy of his birth certificate, to dispel the rumors that he is not a natural-born United States citizen. The latest suits have been filed in state and federal courts in Hawaii, Washington, California, Florida, Georgia, New York, and Connecticut to compel Obama to release his birth records. Lawsuits in Washington and Georgia are seeking state superior courts to force the states’ secretary of state, as the chief state
elections officer, to require Obama to produce original birth records from Hawaii, or else decertify him as a candidate for the presidency. Ironically, Obama mentions his birth certificate in passing on Page 26 of his 1995 memoir, “Dreams of My Father.” “I discovered this article, folded away among my birth certificate and old vaccination forms, when I was in high school,” he wrote. Lawyers for Obama and the DNC did not return calls for comment on the current status of the case, or explain why the Obama campaign did not simply put to rest the whole controversy by releasing the birth certificate that Obama apparently cherished as a teenager. In the past, questions about Sen. John McCain's legal status have arisen. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone at a U.S. Army hospital. McCain had legal experts vet his constitutional qualifications, and he also disclosed a copy of his birth certificate.

Open Letter To Colin Powell
Sir,
I want to make it clear to you that after reading your endorsement for Obama to be president, I no longer can muster up any respect you or your accomplishments. No, I don't hate you, but I would never in my lifetime offer you my endorsement or respect, let alone give you the time of day. Yesterday, had you been the man running for President, I would have voted for you hands down. But as you have proven to me, you are nothing more than just another pawn in the field of color looking for ways to promote your cause and get paid on top of it. Yes, I am sure you will be getting an offer from Obama, have you already not gotten it, there is always money involved when a man is willing to compromise their morals. Your supposed intelligence should have notified your tiny little pea brain that Obama, a man with no more than 143 days of experience, who we are not even sure yet if he is an actual citizen of the United States, who has been involved in the Chicago corruption machine, is willing to sell his soul to the devil to further his career and who offers nothing more to the citizens of this country than that of higher taxes and continued slavery to the Government, is a wrong choice for someone who has claimed to be on the side of conservatism and having a set of principals all these years. You say that Palin is not ready to be president, well sir, I thought it was McCain who was running for president, and even if it was Palin, she has got one heck of allot more experience than 143 days, and a heck of allot more class than your man Obama, which certainly proves to me that this is actually just an issue of color and money. I would have thought that a man of your caliber would have studied your history and realized that those who you have now turned your back on were the same that helped set your people free. Yes Mr. Powell, it was the Republicans under the guidance of the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln that fought two civil wars, yes there were two, and who died in battle and were murdered in the streets along side your people to bring about changes, one of them being the freedom of the slaves. Changes, yes those were real changes, not just an empty promise of "Change" from a man who has yet to even tell us what changes he is going to make, other than to say, "This is the greatest country in the world, I hope you will join me in changing it." Yet you choose to stand with all those who have been stupid enough to allow the Democrats of this country to convince them that what they do for those of color is in their best interest. So making them dependent upon the government and keeping them as poor as possible is in their best interest?? The people of color are enslaved more now than they ever were during the days of slavery, and you can thank the Democrats for that 100%, and that is pure fact! You obviously carry the same chip on your shoulder as Obama and his radical wife, and are in pursuit of what I call a get even mission with those whom you think have wronged you. Well guess what Sparky, the Democrats have played you all for fools, and sadly you have taken the bait along with the rest of those who have been duped by the liberal machine. I say, it's about time you all got over it, come to your senses and realize that you making it easy for the liberals to enslave you and take advantage of you and make you a group of second class citizens. I come from a Religious background where our ancestors were persecuted, murdered, tared and feathered, imprisoned, driven from their homes, their possessions stolen and burned, livestock killed and have continued to be mocked, made fun of, looked upon as fools and treated like second rate citizens up until the current day. Only a few years back was a law in one of our illustrious states in this country taken from the books, that allowed to that present day the legality of killing a member of my religion! Do you see these Religious people acting like total fools, accusing, criticizing, crying about injustice and wanting compensation for the things that happened to their ancestors? No, you don't! And why? Because they are people of class, of all creeds and colors, and they understand that there is something allot bigger than dealing with the petty forgone issues of the past. It's called brotherhood, it's called love of your neighbor, it's called love of your enemies, it's called GOD! You endorse abortion sir, yet it is wrong, and God has said so in the Bible, yet you feel that is is something that people should have a right to. God gave people the right to choose, yes, but the children you are agreeing to have murdered have the same rights as you and I, but unfortunately, it seems that you only believe that your rights are important, not those of an unborn child. The organizations of Socialism, Communism, Marxism, Hitlerism, Fascism are abominations to the Lord, and he declares them to be the anti-Christs of the world, yet you are in agreement with a party and a man who would push this country over the socialist line in a heartbeat. The more I see and hear Obama, the more he shows all the character makeup of such historical figures as Hitler, Mussolini and Lenin just to name a few. But here is something for you to chew on..... Adolf Hitler murdered millions upon millions of Jews, and he himself was part Jewish. Karl Marx was also a Jew and a Jew hater. Those facts were always kept hidden away from those they commanded and controlled. The ability of these types of men to suck up to people and make them believe that they would be their savior was their ability to get elected and conquer. There is only one Savior of this world, and his name is Jesus Christ, and I think it is about time you and the rest of the people in this country started to realize what you are endorsing, and find your way back to where you belong. I have heard Obama speak, and the blasphemous words that have come out of his mouth against God and the Bible. Well sir, your payoff might be that of a few pieces of gold or silver, but just remember, we are all in this together, and you sir, should find a new role model in your life, someone like Clarence Thomas comes to mind. Remember, you will not be exempt from the tyranny of a madman who's only desire is to divide and conquer. Just because you are the same color doesn't mean he is going to give priority to you over me or someone else! You will suffer the same fate that you are willing to subject your fellow man to, you can bank on that! I have long said that one day there would be another civil war in this country and that it would be perpetrated by hate, greed and an intense desire to get even. This is a man who could initiate that war Mr. Powell. Personally, I object to most all of the politicians who are out there, and those in government positions who are willing to sell our birthright down the drain, and it is time for America to wake up and dismantle this corrupt system and rebuild it. But know this, Mr. Powell, I for one will not wear a suit of stripes and live in a wire cage, not for you, not for Obama, not for anyone!

Well, he's back! He has a new book, and here are someexcerpts.Lee Iacocca writes:'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening?Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder.We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state rightover a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and wecan't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car.But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their headswhen the politicians say, 'Stay the course'Stay the course?

We Need All Politicians Of This Caliber!
This is a story that was released by the Associated Press this year. Isn't it about time that we are electing people into office that have the principals of this man? My hats off to this man! Those on the city council that say the raise must be initiated, should be recalled from office and ousted from politics forever!
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — A West Virginia city council is hoping to overcome opposition to giving the mayor a raise from the proposal's biggest foe: the mayor.
Huntington Mayor David Felinton has vowed to veto a proposal to raise his pay by nearly $28,000 to $90,000. He currently earns about $62,000.
Felinton says it sends the wrong message to the city's employees, and that the town of 49,000 has other priorities.
But City Council members say the raise is needed to attract top candidates for the next mayoral election in 2012. The council is to vote on the proposal Monday night.
The Huntington mayor hasn't had a raise since 1996.
If Felinton vetoes the raise, eight council members would need to vote to override his veto.

Vote YES on Propoition 8
This is something that 4 million voters in California have already voted on and we said NO to gay marriage. The judges from the 9th circus court who have gone against the voters and allowed gay marriage to become a reality within the state of California have violated the vote of the people, and our Constitution. The mayor of San Francisco, The Dishonorable Gavin Newsom says "The door is wide open now, and it's going to happen whether you like it or not". What you need to understand is that this makes it mandatory that you accept gay marriage. It will create a whole new string of lawsuits against your personal beliefs, Church's can loose their tax exemption and gay marriage will be taught in public schools. This mayor needs to be immediately removed from office, as well as the judges who voted to make this legal, mocking the California Voters, and it is time we stand against those who are making a mockery of the Constitution of the United States Of America. Remove them from office and replace them with people who will uphold the laws and ordinances of this great country. Please take the time to watch this video, it is something that will affect you and your family, and especially your children and their children for decades to come.

America Is Facing A Grave Crisis
To My Fellow Americans:
Never before in the history of our nation have we faced such a grave crisis: one of the most radical political figures ever to be nominated by a major party is just minutes away from becoming President of the United States.
That man is Barack Obama.
He promises to change America forever. If elected, he will do just that — but in ways you may not like.
Remember Obama is the most liberal member of the United States Senate.
He received a 100 percent Liberal Rating from the National Journal, making him the most left-wing Senator in Washington — more liberal than even Democratic senators like Ted Kennedy.
If you look at Obama’s record, you will understand just how dangerous this man is.
He even has terrorist friends he won’t denounce. One such man is William Ayers, a leader in the radical terrorist group the Weatherman Underground. The group bombed several government buildings, including the Pentagon, killing civilians and police officers.
In 2001, Ayers said he had no regrets for his actions and wished he could have done more. The ties between Obama and Ayers are tight. Both served on two non profit boards and they worked closely together. Ayers even hosted a political event at his home for Obama. Obama has acknowledged he is a friend of Ayers and defends his association by saying he, Obama, was only 8 years old at the time of the Pentagon bombing. However, Obama has no explanation as to why he is still a friend of Ayers.
Obama has even been endorsed by radicals such as Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan. No one can deny hearing about Obama’s relationship with the America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright. There should be little doubt that William Ayers and Louis Farrakhan and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright are rooting for Obama — because he is one of them.
In keeping with such friends, Obama has promised to meet with radical leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without “preconditions” even though Ahmadinejad has promised to “wipe Israel off the map” and “destroy” America.
Even radical Hamas terrorists have praised him. “We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election,” Ahmed Yousef, senior Hamas leader was quoted by ABC radio as saying.
Dangerous Economic Plan
And then there are Obama’s dangerous economic plans for America.
He wants to almost double the capital gains tax. He wants to strip the FICA tax cap off every worker making more than $97,500. He wants to increase the dividend tax. He wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire — giving almost every American family an automatic tax increase.
He has called for more than $800 billion in new spending programs.
He is so radical he even backed driver’s licenses for illegal aliens — even though such a move would help future terrorists move freely in the United States.
He is the most pro-abortion candidate in the history of the country. In 2001, as a state legislator in Illinois, he opposed a bill to protect live born children — children actually born alive! He was the only Illinois senator to speak out against the bill.
He opposes gun rights. He has long history of trying to deny ordinary citizens access to guns.
He originally backed Washington D.C.’s total ban on private handguns — a ban that was overturned. The NRA rated him an “F” on gun positions and says he is one of the most dangerous anti-gun politicians in the nation.
Never forget that Obama is a Harvard educated elitist. To him we Americans are simply “bitter” and he has mocked us saying “[they] cling to their guns and their religion.”
Exposing the Truth
Hillary Clinton was late in recognizing the threat Obama posed to her campaign, but once she did, her strategy worked.
When Hillary exposed Obama publicly, her campaign saw a major turnaround.
Hillary won every major state primary in the nation with the sole exception of Obama’s home state of Illinois.
And even though Obama was “anointed” by the media and Democratic elites, Hillary went on to win eight of the last 10 Democratic primaries.
How did Obama beat Hillary for the nomination?
Well, using a loophole in Democratic rules, he was able to rack up large majorities in caucus states where he outspent and out organized her.
But in large, contested states she won almost every time. Why? Because when Democrats heard what Obama really stood for, they turned on him.
Make no mistake about it: If Americans know the real truth about Obama, John McCain will win this election! But we must employ Hillary Clinton’s strategy.
We must expose Obama for the dangerous radical he is.
Stop and think how much Obama may cost you and your family in new taxes over the next four years alone: $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 or even more, that alone is reason enough not to elect Obama as President. Beware of the enemy within!!
