The Berg Vs Obama court case questioning Obama's eligibility to the highest position in the land(the U.S.) is being stonewalled by Obama's lawyers. Why can't he simply produce the vault copy of his birth certificate? Afraid the truth will come out?

    This is an issue of utmost importance to the U.S. electorate yet it is being downplayed by the media. Perhaps because the proponent who initiated the court case have questionable motives. But as of the latest update, two other groups of lawyers of impeccable reputation has joined in and became parties to the case. What is your stand on this?

    Obama's birth certificate has already been provided, and the myth that he is not a citizen was debunked months ago.

    Here's a better question: why do conservatives keep pushing stupid smears like this and pretending they're important, or truthful? Are they afraid the truth will come out that they have nothing to offer but more of the failed policies of George W. Bush?

    Well, obviously.

    Guess what, though...it's too late. The Republicans are tanking.

      THIS IS NOT A SMEAR MAN...THIS IS REALITY..PEOPLE DEBUNKED THE ISSUE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT BECAUSE OF ITS ORIGINS (BERG)...BUT MORE LAWYERS ARE PARTIES TO THE CASENOW AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO FIND THE TRUTH.
    3. melindaville
      You putting it in ALL CAPS certainly does lend credibility to an otherwise lame argument **dripping with sarcasm**

      OK, a drink warning is required for you two.

      Seriously! I have coffee everywhere, and up my nose!

    This topic again? You have got to be kidding me. Get a life already. Get a brain. Get a real issue. Get some information.

    Edited to add: And then bring them to the politics board here (www.blogcatalog.com/politics/discuss) or shut up.
    1. bigdaddyrichard
      YES AGAIN! BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL ISSUE THAT AFFECTS EVERY AMERICAN!I AM NOT A McCAIN PROPAGANDIST.AND YOUR BEING PRO-OBAMA OR HAVING A PRO-DEMOCRAT BIAS SHOULD NOT BECLOUD YOUR JUDGEMENT AND LIMIT YOUR VIEWS ONLY TO ISSUES FAVORING YOURSELF.(NO OFFENSE)
    2. clioandme
      I never said this was propaganda for McCain. He has brains.

    @markstoneman
    I'll second that.

    @bigdaddyrichard
    [sarcasm] Thanks so much for letting us all know that you are among the low functioning right wing neandrathals, who has his head so far up his nether region that he can do nothing but spout hatred, bigotry, racism and lies. I'll make it a point never to visit your blog.[/sarcasm]
    1. jan4insight
      Well said, TT!
    2. bigdaddyrichard
      THERE IS NO RACISM, NOR BIGOTRY, NOR LIES IN THIS DISCUSSION THREAD...IT'S MEANT TO GET THE TRUTH ON AN ISSUE WHICH POLITICAL BIASES SUCH AS YOURS HAVE RELEGATED TO THE SIDE LINES.

      Also (Bush) is a 4 time former financial failure.
  8. bradhart
    The McCain camp must be really desperate if they have the likes of you reposting stories that have already been debunked. Or are you just as far out of the loop as they are keeping sarah palin. I keep wondering if anyone will bother to tell her when he gives his concession speech or if she will still be campaigning on 11/5
    1. bigdaddyrichard
      WELL, I DON'T BELONG TO THE McCAIN CAMP! AND THIS IS NOT POLITICAL SMEAR...IT IS A REAL ISSUE THAT MAY REALLY CREATE A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS! IT'S NOT MEANT TO CHANGE YOUR POLITICAL INCLINATION...IT'S MEANT TO WAKE YOU GUYS UPTO THE TRUTH THAT WE MAY END UP WITH A PROBLEM AFTER NOVEMBER!
    2. bradhart
      you are so full of shite
  9. MarkPogue
    Is McCain's birth certificate a stone engraving or on a scroll???
    1. Anok
      Ouch
    2. bigdaddyrichard
      TRUE TRUE TRUE! ALL HE NEEDS TO DO TO GET THE ISSUE OUT OF THE WAY IS PRODUCE THE VAULT COPY AND ITS OVER!
    3. MarkPogue
      And the general public is waiting for your approval?? LOL!!!

      That takes messin with sasquatch to a whole new level

      Lol! and here I was going to write about how we can change the world through serving the world! Sarah Palin bagging Harry is positive news isn't it? Hahahahahahaha!
    3. bigdaddyrichard
      PALIN IS NO ISSUE HERE!
  10. DrowseyMonkey
    I don't have the original copy of my birth certificate either ... I wonder if I'm a terrorist?
    1. drjay1966
      I have little doubt, foreigner.
      Otherwise you wouldn't be hiding behind that doll.
    2. Shiley
      you can do some real harm with that drowsey baby. DrowseyMonkey stop hitting me! Ouch! Well, I get you I have a baby that pees itself!
    3. DrowseyMonkey
      Well, I don't think I'm in a sleeper cell ... but I am pretty sleepy, no wait ... I'm drowsey. Whatever, I'm sure if I was a politician a connection could be made there.
    4. clioandme
      I don't have mine either, Drowsey. The only one my parents had was from the hospital, which was not valid for my passport. It's perfectly normal to request a copy from authorities. And it's completely abnormal to start threads like this one. Or should that be subnormal?
    5. DeadRooster
      I have my original vault copy right here. I'm looking at it right now and it...hey, this says Barack Obama!

      GOOH....GOOH! YOU'RE NOT RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF THE BIGGEST DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD! YOUR VAULT COPY DOESN'T MATTER! (LOL) SORRY FOR THE CAPS..MY KEYBOARD IS MESS AFTER ANSWERING ALL THE SNIDE REMARKS HERE. HAVE A NICE DAY!
  11. jan4insight
    Well gosh golly, I DO have the original copy of my birth certificate, but no one's asked me for it!

    (This is my way of saying to bdr and all other Repub tools out there - Get A Life!)
  12. MadameX
    Okay, I'm not POSITIVE, but I think it's because he was never actually born, but was cloned by Muslim terrorists acting outside the United States in an effort to create a perfect fake American that they could one day advance as a candidate for the Presidency as part of a concerted effort to impose Sharia law on the whole world. Pretty sure.
    1. DrowseyMonkey
      LOL...I think you've solved the mystery MadameX

      What's a "vault" copy anyway? Never heard that term before.
    2. bigdaddyrichard
      COOL...YOU GAVE ME AN IDEA FOR A NEW MOVIE...THANKS ..BUT DO TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT THE ISSUE...THIS MAY BE A REAL PROBLEM.
    3. DrowseyMonkey
      I really don't care ...I'm Canadian. Plus I think this is a load of poo.

    As a right-wing neandrathal I say stone him and send him back to Kenya.

      TOO EXTREME...TOO EXTREME! JUST WANT THE TRUTH MAN!
    2. xmarks
      Just stone the truth and send it back to Kenya. Oh, Hannity has already stoned the truth. Maybe we should just move on.

  14. cranelegs
    constitutional crisis my butt!
    ya sound like sean insanity!
    the friggin world economy is collapsing and all you can worry about is obama's birth certificate, a vaulted one at that, whatever that is!
    ya want a crisis my friend?
    let palin run the show for a few hours while president mccain is having skull surgery!
    now that'll be crisis for crisis sakes!

    i'm tellin ya, i can't take it much more!
    we're doomed.

      You tell him, cranelegs!

      Oh, wait - you can always tell a Republican, but you can't tell him much:P

  15. kdawg68
    There's no vault opening without Geraldo present. That's the problem.
  16. gmoney
    What truth do you want. I think that the truth you are looking for is Obama is not a citizen and will cannot be president. Just like everyone on the right..... they want Obama to admit he is a Muslim and he is best friends with Ayers
    1. bigdaddyrichard
      nope..we simply want to see the vault copy of the birth certificate..once he shows this..my lips will be sealed..my keyboards silent...even if h turns out to be a socialist president...at least he's an American...lol!
    2. gmoney
      you and your Vault copy and where would this vault copy come from......
  17. csiunatc
    No i don't want him to admit something that isn't true. But "just a guy in the neighborhood" was a stretch and a half.

    So he should admit to lying on that point at least. But of course, that wont happen. For someone who claims to be "imperfect" he sure as sh_t can't admit to every doing anything wrong.
    1. gmoney
      he is a guy in his neighborhood and they were on a board together. Does not make them best friends.... what do you want him to say?
    2. Anok
      And everyone happily forgets about all of the other people - Democrat and Republican - sitting on that board with Ayers.

      Maybe they're all terrorists!

      Because, you know, sitting on a board for education reform of inner cities IS a terrorist activity, after all.

      This is insane - it's like saying that because someone sat in on a community effort, and an ex-con was there too, they must ALL be criminals!
  18. Shiley
    Too bad they did away with the X Files. I'm sure we'd all find out the truth lies within FEMA because the truth is out there.
  19. csiunatc
    We don't need the x-files, all we need is Obama, More papers Dissapear around him than all the x-files episodes combined.

    He is like a Black hole of information. Nothing gets out. Maybe Stephen Hawking can explain who he really is..
    1. timethief
      @csiuntac
      For cripes sake - this non-issue was debunked ages ago and you know that. Please, please stop hijacking this thread and go back and go back to your weeks of beaching about Obama here www.blogcatalog.com/politics/discuss
    2. bigdaddyrichard
      look up, time thief ...who's hijacking this thread? You must be in the wrong place. Can't stand the discussion? You were welcome to join..you are always welcome to get out!
    3. kat822
      Isn't the saying "for Christsake?"
  20. Shiley
    This is silly. Here is the deal. This is why Obama has my vote during the debates he mentioned education and volunteerism in one sentence, McCain danced around it like it didn't exist. He also mentioned how health care is a right, McCain did not. McCain's ad campaign is mostly one about negativity. The birth certificate thing has been debunked get over it! Geez!
  21. bigdaddyrichard
    I love you guys..how about a socialist for a president! We're only days away
    from it? If you don't care if a non-American runs the country, you probably don't care to have a socialist run the bastion of democracy in this part of the gob!
    1. polybore
      The sad fact is that a Native American has never been president. Seems like it is only the descendants of immigrants (invaders) get to be President of America.
    2. Anok
      This confusing time must be utterly terrifying to you, I understand. I mean - who can you believe? A man who has been on the senate floor for three + terms and has organized in communities to benefit minorities, reform education in poor urban areas - he's worked his way through all of these "elitist schools" and *gasp* he did all while being at least half black!

      You're right, he must not be an American. Maybe he's an alien. And sources that prove the smears to be false - well, there's a conspiracy here I tell you! They must be owned by someone who supports communism or some such other horrible thing!

      Who here believes that a US senator, managed to be in the Senate, successfully, for all of these years, managed to win the nomination for presidency, was endorsed by the DNC all while keeping it secret that he was not, in fact, a US citizen.

      Really? DO you really believe that his citizenship was not at the very least verified when deciding to run for at least one of the offices he holds? Specifically when he decided to run for president of the US?

      Or do you actually believe this is some conspiracy on behalf of the democratic party, trying to smuggle in terrorist loving, America hating aliens who will force us to surrender our democracy, and swear allegiance to a Socialist dictatorship?

      Are we really that paranoid as a country? I mean, I'm the Anarchist here, I'm the one who gets called paranoid an awful lot....and this all sounds a bit, well, out of touch with reality...
    3. MarkPogue
      Those are stupid and UNFOUNDED remarks! You are using false accusations to spread fear. This tactic may work in Evangelical circles, but not for the general populace.
      Obama was born Hawaii like millions of others.
      Many European countries are Social Democratic. Maybe that's why they don't immigrate to the US anymore.

      Can we view your birth certificate?
    4. drjay1966
      Oh, he's a socialist now, huh bigdaddyrichard. Funny, I could have sworn you were non-partisan from all you were saying (in all caps)above.

      Let me ask you this, if you really believe there's any validity to this ridiculous birth certificate garbage: why isn't the McCain campaign on this? Are they part of the conspiracy to make the non-American Muslim socialist president? Or are you just full of crap?
    5. bigdaddyrichard
      Why isn't the McCain camp on this? Interesting question...I wish to know that myself.. but let's get the history of the issue...it was first brought up by the clinton camp prior to the Democratic National Convention...then as now...the issue was regarded a smear and no one took it seriously..until that guy Berg... questioned it in court but the news was eclipsed by the financial bail out package. Now, more people..lawyer groups wants an answer and became parties to the case...a simple issue that requires a simple answer..the vault copy...the McCain camp maybe not on this because they are probably afraid that if Obama is able to produce one the issue will smack right in their faces...the last nail in their presidential campaign coffin...ha ha ha! My questioning it...hey, we need to know the answer before Obama wins...which by all accounts is likely...and after that a bigger problem...a constitutional crisis if it turns out the bc was faked.
  22. MadameX
    What I find ironic about this issue is that it seems an awful lot of the people who were all too happy to dispense with the rest of the Constitution suddenly think this little provision is VERY important.
    1. whiteline
      That's simply amazing isn't it! I was going to post something along those lines earlier but thought it was better not to get banned (seems that, no matter how HARD I typed only nasty words showed up on the screen).
    2. bigdaddyrichard
      Thank you so much madamX for explaining what a vault copy is... this is probably why a lot of people are furiously reacting to the posting of this issue here...they don't know what a vault copy is
      What was presented and circulated in the net was not the vault copy. It was the short form... the one you usually get when you request for one. The vault copy is the long form and contains all the details of birth including the attending physician and the hospital where you were born... all containing collaborating circumstances that are verifiable. And like you said, everyone has a vault copy in the registry of the state where you come from...unless the one presented in the net by the
      dems was fabricated!
    3. whiteline
      ummm....sarcasm... check it out waaaaayyyyy to serious.
    4. SweetViolet
      Perhaps, BDR, you missed the fact that Hawaii doesn't issue "vault copies" of birth certificates. You would have had to click on a link provided by Anok very early in this discussion to have found that little fact: www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html

      You are creating a tempest in a teapot: he's a natural-born citizen...his mother is a citizen, so HE is a citizen, no matter where on the earth he was born. End of story.
  23. whiteline
    bdr, can you tell me what a "Vault Copy" is? Don't show me some link, tell me - what is it? After all of the kids I've fathered I might need to know some day... heck one of them might want to be president.
    1. MadameX
      It is the birth certificate that was filed with the Bureau of Vital Statistics (or whatever the appropriate division is in that jurisdiction) when you were born. Most birth records are computerized now, and if you request a certified copy of your birth certificate you do not get a copy of the actual certificate of live birth originally filed, but a computer-generated version that has been certified accurate by the appropriate government official.
  24. drjay1966
    Here's the two latest pieces of news I've seen: McCain now trying to tie Michelle Obama to Ayers, and Obama opens up a two digit lead. Clearly, the uglier the McCain campaign gets, the higher Obama rises in the polls and the lower McCain sinks.

    So, all I can say to the Republican smear-mongers is KEEP IT UP!
    1. bigdaddyrichard
      dude, I am not a Republican, just an ordinary citizen like you... who can see that personal biases and party affiliations (let me include the hardships and travails suffered under 8 years of Bush follies)...can not look at this issue other than a smear.
  25. zawadi
    blog-based skepticism
    1. MarkPogue
      In this case, the skepticism about Obama ts based on fear. Some folks in this nation are scared of having a black president.
    2. timethief
      Scared of what? Who cares if the President's skin color is purple, green or blue? This election ought to be about the issues and nothing but the issues.

      But instead the McCain smear practitioners have distracted the voters away form the real issues and why is obvious to see. The Republicans have sweet muck all to run on or with. The Bush administration ran America into the ground and all the loudmouthed dull wits have to offer is this kind of tripe that has been debunked ages ago.

      Yet Republicans seem to quietly agree that Bush was a "good old boy" despite his outrageous death causing lies, exaggerations, manipulations, abuse of power, and the fact that he is, in essence, a war criminal. That's not to mention his many other failures in office that have had a profoundly negative effect on his country, its economy, its citizens, and the country's image around the world.
    3. Theresa111
      MarkProgue ... A person is not a color. Obama is related to Brad Pitt, for gosh sake.

      Perhaps some people really admire Obama, but if their real friends found out, then they might not like them anymore. It's like this ... are they intelligent and savvy enough to run for office? Why don't they come clean and admit they just don't want to admit that Obama studied hard, applied himself and is highly educated. They don't want to admit that their ignorance is what their fear is based upon.
    4. MarkPogue
      @ timethief

      Didn't you know that many (US) Americans vote according to media and the church pulpit???
      We're a sad society that will believe ANYTHING.
    5. kat822
      Scared of what? Who cares if the President's skin color is purple, green or blue? This election ought to be about the issues and nothing but the issues.

      best quote I've heard all day
    6. MadameX
      Yet, TT, people do. I've heard people--both in person and being interviewed--say that they simply don't think they can bring themselves to vote for a black man. It always comes as a shock to me because I keep kind of forgetting that race is apparently an issue in this election, but evidently there are plenty of people who haven't forgotten for a moment. Just this week, a woman I know who has been faithfully voting Democratic for more than forty years mentioned her fear of what might happen if Obama were elected based on the changes that took place in the city of Chicago when Harold Washington (the city's first black mayor) was elected.
  26. Theresa111
    Probably the same reason that I cannot produce the vault copy of my birth certificate. There isn't a vault. Who sold you the bridge? Hmmm?
    1. whiteline
      I bought a bridge once... sigh... then they moved it to alaska, I don't remember who I... oh, wait! nope, that wasn't it... nevermind.
    2. Theresa111
      No, really, do tell ... I believe you're on to something.
    3. whiteline
      ..... well, they promised me it went to nowhere - I always wanted to go there... been to noplace, but never nowhere, so I bought it. Then all of a sudden, I mean it was just like that - poof! - I'm the owner of a bridge to nowhere! Can you believe it!.....
    4. whiteline
      @TT - busy working on it - was just sitting down to read the Branchflower report - afraid I need more coffee!
  27. SweetViolet
    Obama's mother is an American citizen. That is ALL that is required. It doesn't matter where on the earth he was born, if his mother was a US citizen at the time he was born, he is a natural-born citizen.

    End of story.
    1. MarkPogue
      Correct, but only if a "Certificate of Live Birth Abroad" was filed. That is...if he had been born in another country.
    2. SweetViolet
      Actually, Mark, there is even "wriggle room" regarding that requirement. Many US servicemen fathered children on Vietnamese women and many years later acknowledged paternity, which conferred US citizenship upon them. I remember reading a particularly poignant story of a boy whose mother died and his search for his American father ended up with that acknowledgment and his subsequent arrival in the US to live with his father. The boy was in his early teens, if I remember correctly. Certainly no "Certificate of Live Birth Abroad" had been filed at the time of that boy's birth!

      But, of course, that does not apply to Obama...he was born on US soil to a mother who was a US citizen, which makes him a natural born citizen no matter how you look at it. This "vault copy" flap is just a lot of nonsense unless those swirling around it have some evidence that he might have been born elsewhere...and then the fact of his mother's citizenship kicks in.
