QUOTE(turnea @ Nov 4 2008, 03:54 AM)  QUOTE(GuardianAngel @ Nov 3 2008, 09:53 PM)  Barry Soetoro was the name his mothers second husband Lolo Soetoro used to enroll Barry into school in indonesia under. Can you prove that? which part ? that Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro? that Lolo Soetoro was indonesian? That Barack went to school in indonesia? that Indonesia only allowed indonesian children into their schools? that Lolo Soetoro registered his adopted son as Barry Soetoro? all of these things are common knowledge ... the original photo was from the Associated press.

What I've found to be most interesting about this particular story isn't actually the question of whether or not Obama is qualified (per the Constitution) to be President, but rather the reactions. First, the Obama campaign could easily have put the question to rest. Just release his birth certificate. That's how hard it is. No scrounging around in dusty college archives for long lost thesis papers, no gathering of records from doctors and hospitals scattered across the world. A simple stop by the appropriate registrar when he was vacationing there in Hawaii and voila! The second, and actually much more troubling response was that of the judge who dismissed that fellow's challenge. The judge did so on the grounds that the guy didn't have standing. An American citizen doesn't have standing to verify that his vote won't be going to a fraud? An American citizen doesn't have standing to insure that the holder of the most powerful job in the world, and essentially the employee of the self-same citizen, is legally eligible for the job? If an American citizen, treated equally under the law (theoretically), doesn't have standing, then who does?

QUOTE(turnea @ Nov 4 2008, 04:02 AM)  That this Lolo Soetoro is the same as Obama's stepfather.
That if so the Indonesian documents are the accurate one's and the America documents are fake.
The idea that Indonesian schools only accepted Indonesians. which american documents have to be fake? even if his BC is correct ... Lolo Soetoro http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obam...wotreegg09.stngand his life in indonesia is well documented.

Care to provide a link to support this? linkipoo http://contrariancommentary.blogspot.com/2...-martin-in.htmlHere is an excerpt from your reliable source: "Martin" is Andy Martin, the guy who writes the blog, and who also loves to refer to himself in the third person. I think he believes it makes him sound like a reporter or something... QUOTE Martin is expected to announce Saturday that he is suing Fox News as well as the New York Times, for defamation of character. The lawsuit will be released Monday morning. "For Fox News to treat me as they did is beneath contempt," says Martin. "I am respected around the world for accuracy, honesty and integrity. We know the New York Times is a corrupt media operation. But Fox News? Well, Ruppert Murdock may want to kow'tow to Barack Obama, but I will not kow'tow to Ruppert Murdock. The crass executives deserve to be sued for their malicious attacks on me. Someone ought to stand up for me: I helped expose Bill Ayers and Khalid Al-Mansour. A slimy 'vice president' that probably never worked a case or a story had the nerve to demean me. What a compete corporate moron. "How dare these media imposters and blowhards smear me with lies, when I have worked tirelessly to expose the truth about Barack Obama—and succeeded," Martin will charge. http://www.youtube.com/v/RgjQhnDEGSk"I'll be happy to face the Fox jerk, Vice President Bill Shine, in court and defend my good name against Obama's mud merchants, the New York Times and Ruppert Murdock. Ruppert Murdock's daughter is backing Obama, for Chrissake. Apparently, he is claiming that FOX news is in Obama's corner or something. The blog is truly a hoot, and I recommend reading it for entertainment's sake once the election is wrapped up, around 9 PM Tuesday.

If his birth certificate is correct he's an America by birth and therefore eligible. No, if he was adopted, he would have had to give up his us citizenship ( or better his fatherwould have done this for him... as the adult ... since he was 6 years old) to become an indonesian citzen....

According to whom? Not under the Nationality Act. Section 349: QUOTE Parents cannot renounce U.S. citizenship on behalf of their minor children. Before an oath of renunciation will be administered under Section 349(a)(5) of the INA, a person under the age of eighteen must convince a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer that he/she fully understands the nature and consequences of the oath of renunciation, is not subject to duress or undue influence, and is voluntarily seeking to renounce his/her U.S. citizenship. Even if the above weren't the case, if citizenship were to be revoked by adoption, Obama need only apply again for citizenship...as he would still be a 'naturally born citizen', having been born in Hawaii.

While you are looking for the links that Turnea asked for... Could you please provide a link to the pocess of relinquising US Citizenship. If I remember correctly, even Johnny Taliban still had his citizenship even after taking arms up against us. edited to add: Well it seems Mrs P did your homework for you... which sucks, you could have learned more doing it yourself. Side note: Do conservatives really wonder why liberals look at them cross eyed??

 Oh man, the longer this goes on the more DESPERATE you guys are getting! The funny thing is if McCain somehow wins this thing all this "Barack Obama is a strange visitor from another planet" crud will disappear like a fart in a tornado. Not ONE of you dudes--- Zack, quick, Bikerdad, Guardian Angel, Blackstone, Aquilla, Ted, Amlord or the rest of the  right-wing lunatic fringe will bring this up again. Of course, if Obama wins, then there will have to be a new forum created for all the mud you guys will throw at him for the next four years. Give it up.  Today is Election Day. Go out and vote for your candidate. Make a friend and tell them to vote for McCain too. That would be more productive that this latest load of utter crap you're shoveling on this board. It's the end of the campaign. NOBODY CARES about your spiteful and slimy rumors and lies.

If Obama loses there would be no reason to bring it back up, unless it was an 'I told you so moment'. As for that new forum, never fear, there will be plenty of space after all the Bush-bashing threads are removed. This wasn't a spiteful slimy rumor or lie. It was a legit question. I'll give you credit though nighttimer, you are showing signs of evolving from your 'everything said about Obama is racially motivated' cocoon. Fistbump to you, dude!
