Obama Sued In Philadelphia Federal Court On Grounds He Is Constitutionally Ineligible For The Presidency
Hold the phone …
But NOT by who you thought when you first read the story title. And note the UPDATE regarding the “judge” …
Thatisall … Oh yeah, heh!

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.
Phillip 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 senator’s background, and in today’s 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.
Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator’s 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, Obama’s 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. Obama’s own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham–Obama’s mother–gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama’s birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals–Kapiolani Hospital and 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. Obama’s 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.
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. Obama’s 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. Obama’s half-sister.
“Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama’s 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.”
UPDATE on Berg v. Obama Lawsuit
11:45pm
I just learned that a hearing has been scheduled on the matter for 2:00pm today. I have no further details at this time, though I know that the hearing is not open to the public.
It should be noted, though, that the judge assigned to the case–the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick–was appointed to the federal bench by President William Jefferson Clinton.

Eligibility Goes Beyond Citizenship
by Jeff Schreiber - (America’s Right.com)
I don’t know if the allegations found in Phillip Berg’s civil action are true. I did not sever Barack Obama’s umbilical cord, I do not know anyone who did, and therefore I cannot know for sure absent more than circumstantial evidence whether or not Stanley Ann Dunham opened wide and gave birth to the Illinois liberal in Kenya, in Hawaii, or elsewhere.
Perhaps we can look into the destination for mass shipments of gold, frankincense and myrrh in early August of 1961. Or perhaps we could just ask Keith Olbermann — I’m sure he has a framed photograph of the blessed event.
What I do know is that, when the United States Constitution was penned mere steps from where Berg’s lawsuit was filed yesterday afternoon, those imperfect but brilliant gentlemen who wrote the fifth clause of Article II, Section 1 established the trio of specific eligibility requirements–citizenship, age and residency–in hopes of increasing the probability that the elected officials who were to assume the presidency in years to come would be of sound mind, of good judgment, and in possession of a soul rooted in an undying love for America.
It was important to those courageous men that the future leaders of their fledgling nation understand what it means to be an American. Every clause in that document is there for a reason, each a lesson learned from fresh wounds of tyranny gone but not forgotten, and the framers made a point to require that, at the very least, a potential president must have been a citizen of the United States “at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution.” Unfettered, undivided devotion and loyalty to America was of the utmost concern; simply put, only those who fought and bled for Her independence, or at the very least understood the meaning behind, need for and potential of this great experiment could be trusted with its charge.
Regardless of whether Barack Obama was born in a hospital in Honolulu or a hut in Kenya, the real question brought forth by Phillip Berg’s civil action, to me, is not one of constitutional eligibility but rather of moral and intellectual and even ideological qualification.
Barack Obama’s actions show a penchant for blaming America first and placing Her needs second. His associations show that no unimaginably awful deed goes unrewarded, that the want for friendship, appeasement and superficial detente overshadows the need for a firm grasp on reality and unapologetic employment of common sense. His aspirations make us believe that we can live our lives blameless for societal and economic ills, and that centuries-old blood feuds can be solved with a handshake and conversation over coffee and a chilled plate of arugula.
John McCain, wrong on so many issues, was 100 percent right on Wednesday when he stated that he never questioned Obama’s patriotism, only his judgment. At a time when the United States faces unprecedented threats from every angle, within and without, at a time when Congressional malfeasance–or, in the case of Pelosi’s House and the energy crisis, nonfeasance–could have disastrous effects for decades to come, sound judgment is of the utmost importance.
For our founding fathers, unflinching patriotism, unassailable public virtue and unflappable judgment were inherent among those who helped to establish the United States of America, whether on the battlefield in Trenton or in Congress in Philadelphia, as those who were citizens “at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution” knew why they were there, what America was about, and why She was so desperately needed.
Regardless of whether he was born in Kenya or in Hawaii, regardless of whether his birth certificate is his half-sister’s or his own, or whether he went by the name of Barack Obama or Barry Soetoro, this self-proclaimed “Citizen of the World” has much to learn about what it truly means to be an American.

If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
I don’t know if I should be laughing or crying….major, MAJOR repercussions in the democrat party if this actually works.
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:47 amWell, this is an interesting turn of events. Wonder if it is just going to be thrown out of court for some obscure law somewhere that you cannot contest the nationality of the Obamessiah.
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:48 amUhhhh…should I hold my breath waiting for national coverage of this?
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:20 amAs my good friend ‘Flounder’ once said ” Oh Boy!! This is going to be so good!!”
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:26 amgood for the fact that obama would be booted out be this true.
bad for the fact that hillary would spank McCain all over the nation
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:35 amTime to make some more popcorn!
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:37 amTo Caligula: I don’t think so. If this turns out to be true and Hillary gets nominated in Obama’s place, the black voters (and die-hard obama supporters) are going to be so disenfranchised that they won’t even bother to show up at the polls.
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:39 amhot damn..its gonna get real ugly, and i’m smiling
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:40 amThe plot thickens!
Whom at all can take the nomination at such a late hour in the competition?
Why could Bill’s Husband save the Demoncrats?
You know I think if this happens and he is rendered illegitimate as a candidate until it can be sorted out, the Hildebeast won’t help. I think Americans will reject her too, that is why the “Maverick” should choose Palin!
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:42 amLike Rush says, “Hillary’s not dead until I see her feet curl up under Dorthy’s farm house.”
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:47 amThat would explain alot! My son is in Iraq and he joined the Air Force Not the O force. It will be a sad day if Obama ever wins this election.
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:49 amAlso a thought if Hiliary is back in I beleive would there be a backlash from Obama supporters. She may not have all the votes she held before.
McCain in 08!!!
GOOD! I think.
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:54 amThis does smell like the insatiable desire, unbridled ambition, criminal determination and overwhelmingly astounding arogance of the Clintons and their Clintonistas to do whatever it takes to get and keep power.
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:58 amLike Rush says, “Hillary’s not dead until I see her feet curl up under Dorthy’s farm house.”
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I missed that one!!!
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:00 pmWHAT HAVE I BEEN SAYING!!!!!!
The clintons have been supressing this until the convention when Hillary can swoop in and save the day! Even expeditited an appeal will never get through befor the DNC has to select their canadaite and even then it would be appealed all the way to the USSC which will not happen before November elections.
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:17 pmOne has to wonder how nasty this could become if the first ~black nominee is determined to be ineligible by a legal court. Any body remember Watts or the fiasco of Rodney King? This could certainly help those that wish to recreate 68.
I think I will go home and load some more ammunition.
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:31 pm
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:35 pm“…look into the destination for mass shipments of gold, frankincense and myrrh in early August of 1961.”
Karl Rove You Magni…. er, wait…Bill Clinto…. er….whoever….. YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!!!
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:42 pmSully! Sully! Sully!
….for that one, YOU´RE the magnificent bastard!
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:04 pmTom: Your absolutely right! The democrats would be so torn up by this move that there is no way either of those knuckleheads could win.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:07 pmHusseins citizenship has been in question for sometime now…i was wondering when someone would finally take advantage of it.
The SHIT is gonna hit the fan when this finally spreads across the country to all of the Hussein worshipers.
Riots anyone???
Just shows you how ruthless for power the CLITons are & the Dem. Party for that matter.
Get ready for Nobama to start stuttering faster than ‘63 Chevy going uphill with fouled plugs.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:12 pmSweet. Honestly, even though I hate Hillary, I would rather have it be between McCain and Clinton. Cause everyone knows that if Hillary gets elected at least America will survive and repair whatever damage she does, where as Obama would ruin this country and drive it into the ground to a point where we wouldn’t be able to get back up.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:29 pmSmoke in the cockpit!
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:30 pmthis suckers goin down!
Could this be the Democrat Party’s “Martin Luther (and I don’t mean MLK) Split” moment???
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:58 pmClinton’s judges are the most partisan people on the planet.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:06 pmCould this be the Democrat Party’s “Martin Luther (and I don’t mean MLK) Split” moment???
The only thing that makes me think this is wishful thinking is that a liberal is a liberal first. And the democrat party is the home of liberals. While something of this magnitude could send a large portion of the party home this election, I do not see an alternate rally point. If Obama is truly not constitutionally qualified to run for president there will be no split off party. However, if he is qualified (which I don’t think he is) and the supers throw him out in favor of Hilary I can see a one time split in the party that leads to and landslide for McCain.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:21 pmGonna be riots no matter what… Bama wins (god forbid) riots of celebration, where they burn thier own shit and demand the government rebuild it better than it was…. Bama loses riots because the election was rigged by da man, in this instance they burn thier own shit and demand the government rebuild it better than it was……The forecast for Nov 3 & 4 is warm with scattered looting and shooting followed by haziness of pepper spray and fire hoses
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:29 pmDo we have enough tear gas and rubber bullets for this one?
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:39 pmI heard Rush Limbaugh today saying something about a lawyer get sued in Philadelphia, but I thought he was talking about Edwards. Nothing on his website.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:46 pmDo you know if this is going up before Clinton appointed judges?
I have not felt this good in months.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:01 pm“Do we have enough tear gas and rubber bullets for this one?”
I dunno but we have enough FMJ and Hollow Point.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:41 pmHow ironic considering how BO ran unopposed in his first election by questioning the nominating petitions of his opponents — who were subsequently disqualified. What goes around comes around.
Oh yeah .. this is definitely a Clinton “October Surprise” … just a couple months early. I can hear the phone calls to the super delegates now … we need to have a floor fight.
Ah yes .. 1968 Déjà vu all over again … Too bad the convention is in Denver … It should be in Chicago
August 22nd, 2008 at 5:57 pmIf Obama was to be disqualified, McCain will win in a landslide. Obamabots know Hillery is behind this, she would not get one vote from the black community, or any of Obama’s supporters.
August 22nd, 2008 at 6:13 pmThis has far reaching negative consequences to so many liberal institutions and individuals that I can feel a thrill going up my leg! Of course, that’s assuming that Obama really thought he could get away with this, and not just attempted political assassination by the Clintons. Obama is so arrogant, ignorant of reality, and has such a pandering media following, ready to volunteer their small shred of remaining credibility to cover his ass, that I truly believe he thought he could get away with perpetrating one of the biggest political lies in the history of this country on the American public. Even though this was brought to light by Clinton operatives, the initial information offers reasonable doubt to this man’s origins, at least for those who didn’t already question it because of the vitriol spewed from Obama’s mouth. This could even be the straw that breaks the camel’s back as far as the media’s credibility. These obvious questions should have been asked and answered before the first state primary election. This is going to be fun to watch play-out.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:05 pmWe know that Obama wants to change the U.S. Constitution– this may be one of his reasons! (The presidential seal he created deleted the breastplate which is symbolic of the Constitution.)
Obama has an intriguing reference in Dreams From My Father regarding his parents’ marriage. I don’t have the exact quote but he said he was a little afraid to investigate the relationship any closer than he had. So, if it’s proven without a doubt that he was born in Kenya to a mother under the age of 19, he’ll probably reference that quote and (lie) say he didn’t know.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:11 pmForgive me for being a broken record, but everyone needs to read the Introduction to “Dreams From My Father.” Obama stated that some of the people in his memoirs were fake (he called them “composite” characters).
He also stated that “some events appear out of precise chronology.” He changed the dates!
Why would someone do that in an autobiography? So his background couldn’t be thoroughly checked.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:38 pm
This is better than a blow job. 
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:58 pmI look at what its going to do to the Democrats financially.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:22 pmImagine having to trash all of those Obama signs and buy millions more of Hillary signs.
the judge through this out as a frivolous lawsuit
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:04 pmI honestly don’t know, I would love nothing more than for this to be true but there is probably no chance that it will go too far. But hell if it worked than hot dam I’d be a happy boy!
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:39 pmI dunno… I really don’t think I mind being a ‘The prick ain’t even a citizen’ troofer.
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:30 pm….now, I wouldn´t go THAT far!
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:48 pmscooter-the-illiterate;
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:07 amThe Temporary Restraining Order was denied, but the suit can proceed once the defendants have been served. I guess the subtleties threw you through and through, huh?
For Obama to get this far, it would have required major cover-ups from the Government levels down the line. Just were are Home Land Security, INS, and the IRS in all of this? Just how could a NON-American Citizen be elected to the Senate of the United States without close examination & investigation? I smell the sent of blood in the air and this is only the beginning!
The facts bear out investigation a long time ago. However, the DNC failed to do their homework, or could it be said that they were part of this criminal activity to place a NON-American into the White House and start the downfall of the United States and the stripping away of the Constitution and Bill of Rights from EVERY American? The downfall of America without a single shot fired from a gun, but from the voting box! Et tu, Brute?
August 23rd, 2008 at 4:50 amKentucky Jim, The suit was probably written by the judge. Clinton would not support this project and advance it unless the success was assured. In a Clinton appointed courtroom Obama will be replaced with great fanfare, Hillary to the rescue. That being said, McCain has and is offering vouchers (school) for all urban children. Just like in the Civil War the GOP comes to the rescue of Black families being held hostage by liberals.
The story continues………………. more to come.
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:38 am‘Riot’ from the Dead Kennedys 1982 ‘Plastic Surgery Diaasters’ album
Rioting-the unbeatable high
Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
And it’s all gonna blow right now:.
Now you can smash all the windows that you want
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass
Scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds
Watch them kicking peoples’ ass
But you get to the place
Where the real slavedrivers live
It’s walled off by the riot squad
Aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around
And play right into their hands
And set your own neighbourhood
Burning to the ground instead
Riot-the unbeatable high
Riot-shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot-playing into their hands
Tomorrow you’re homeless
Tonight it’s a blast
Get your kicks in quick
They’re callin’ the national guard
Now could be your only chance
To torch a police car
Climb the roof, kick the siren in
And jump and yelp for joy
Quickly-dive back in the crowd
Slip away, now don’t get caught
Let’s loot the spiffy hi-fi store
Grab as much as you can hold
Pray your full arms don’t fall off
Here comes the owner with a gun
The barricades spring up from nowhere
Cops in helmets line the lines
Shotguns prod into your bellies
The trigger fingers want an excuse
Now
The raging mob has lost its nerve
There’s more of us but who goes first
No one dares to cross the line
The cops know that they’ve won
It’s all over but not quite
The pigs have just begun to fight
They club your heads, kick your teeth
Police can riot all that they please
Tomorrow you’re homeless
Tonight it’s a blast
B-HO gets tanked and Denver will be a blaze….and Relive-1968 will have a whole new perspective.
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:09 am
Most definitely interesting times. Pass the popcorn please. 
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:53 amWhatever
there will be riots
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:53 amI knew this was coming. Now, will it dare be mentioned at the DNC by anyone in media, other than Lou Dobbs or Laura Ingraham? Savage? Rush? Hannity? Glenn? Rusty Humphries? O’Reilly? Dennis Miller? WILL YOU ALL PLEASE COME TO THE AID OF OUR COUNTRY BEFORE IT IS COMMANDEERED BY THIS FRAUD?
August 23rd, 2008 at 10:31 amIt made it to “Coast to Coast AM” last night, with Ian Punnet (a/k/a “Church Boy”) guest-hosting for George Noory. Four hours of interview and questions from the audience. I half-listened while trying to digest a late-night pizza.
The only factoid that I recall was that the lawyer, Philip J. Berg, actually cited Wikipedia as an “authoritative source.” That woke me up.
That and he was bringing this suit “for the health of the Democrat Party.”
Remember my prediction for this election vis-a-vis “Batman: The Dark Knight” vs. “Redacted?” This election won’t even be close — and that goes for all the Democrats in the Congress up for re-election.
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:03 pmHerr Dragon,I’m begining to agree with you. Good riddance Pelousi, Murtha and John Fuckin’ Kerry.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:11 pmHmm not sure what to think on this one. I would hate for McCain to have to face Hilliary because the outcome would be so ify. But if this proves to be true then Obama has no right to run and I don’t want that door opened to people like Soros. But if the birth certificate proves to be real.. and his own party is questioning him.. How golden is that?
Oh there are just so many possibilities both good and bad in this. This is one to really watch and see how it plays out .
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:58 pmLooks like the Democraps are going to self distruct if this goes through.
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:52 pmGee…who would a thunk it?
Thank God they still have Hillary still in the race.
She will be on the roll call for the nomination on Wednesday night….we may just see something strange happen…
The fix….is in.
Hang on Dorthy….Kansas is about to go bye bye.
