From The Desk Of Gary G. Kreep
Dear Friend the Constitution,
Barack Hussein Obama is not happy! When his taxpayer paid U. S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") attorneys walked into court on October 5, 2009, expecting United States Federal District Court Judge David Carter to immediately dismiss the birth certificate case, he did not get his way! Their legal arguments were hollow and unconvincing. And after hearing hours of argument, Judge Carter “took the matter under submission.” He has still not issued a ruling, 17 days later!
According to the DOJ Attorneys: The President is above the Law and the Courts!
The DOJ attorneys told the Judge that no Court in the United States had the right to rule on whether Barack Hussein Obama was eligible to serve as President of the United States! In their view, he could only be impeached and/or disqualified from the Office of President under the 25th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution.
THIS IS NOT TRUE! As USJF pointed out to the Court, both in our pleadings and in our oral presentation at the hearing, both the impeachment statutes, and the 25th Amendment require a sitting President. However, if Mr. Obama is not eligible to serve as President, he could not be, and never was, a sitting President, so those options for removal could not apply. Therefore the courts would have jurisdiction.
Monday, October 5, 2009, at 8:30 a.m. in California, was a critical milestone for our entire legal and public relations effort to force Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate, as well as other documents, to prove whether he is eligible to serve as President of the United States. And with your support USJF was able to be there to argue the case.
This case has an excellent chance to survive the Department of Justice motion to dismiss, and it has proven to be the best chance for America to have a hearing on the merits on this critical Constitutional issue.
What happened that day in Court? It's very simple—the DOJ attorneys brought up every argument that they could to try to persuade the Court to dismiss this case
USJF provided sound legal arguments against all of the DOJ legal theories, and we were the only ones to do so; otherwise the whole case could have been over right then and there! The USJF oral arguments at the hearing may well be the difference between this case surviving or being dismissed.
The Judge raised issues critical to our case:
1. Did U.S. Senators question the eligibility of Mr. Obama? (Only USJF was able to tell the Court that Senators Coburn and Shelby and a number of House of Representative members had done so.)
2. Were objections made by Members of Congress when the vote of the Electoral College was certified? (Only USJF was able to tell the Court that NO, then Vice-President Cheney had not performed his required duty of asking for objections, so there could have been none raised.)
DOJ attorneys also argued that only Congress, and/or the Electoral College, could decide on the eligibility of Mr. Obama. Fortunately, the USJF legal team, and only the USJF legal team, filed pleadings pointing out that the DOJ legal arguments in this regard WERE WRONG! And, I was there to argue against those false claims.
People at the hearing and those who have found out what happened there since have been contacting USJF, thanking us for standing up for the truth!
But the fight is not over yet! We expect a ruling from the Court any day now. If we defeat the dismissal motion, then we're immediately filing pleadings ("discovery") seeking Mr. Obama's birth certificate, his college records, and much, much more. AND, we'll be seeking to depose Mr. Obama ASAP!
Judge Carter has set a trial date of January 26, 2010 in this case. To keep that date, we need to defeat the DOJ dismissal motion, and then, IMMEDIATELY, move right into the discovery phase discussed above.

Judge Carter is a Clintonista . Do you really think he is going to precide over this charade ?
The conspiracy deepens...
Carter hired Siddharth Velamoor to serve as one of his clerks this month .Velamoor worked at Perkins Coie, LLP's ,a firm where Robert F. Bauer, one of Obama's top lawyers is a partner(he's also huband of Anita Dung, the Maoist White House Communication's Director)
Because of this ;Judge Carter will either be recused ,or will step down from the case. Either way the case is going no where.
Now let's get back to real issues .

Actually, I think the quest for Obama's birth certificate and the impeachment effort will have the same result; nothing.
Having said that, I would like to see all this brought out into the open so that we can all hear what evidence each side has to offer.
There's been a ton of money spent already over the birth certificate issue, and I still have to wonder why the opposition to submitting the various records in question.
As far as providing ammunition to the left, it looks like ANY opposition to Obama will be used as ammo by crew Obama.

This is one of the few areas where excon and I are in agreement.
The Obama people have put forth Obama's birth cert. The birthers simply refuse to accept it.
As excon points out, when one refuses to accept the empirical evidence, that is an unreasonable position.
I just wish excon would take his own advice more often.
Bottom line: there are plenty of GOOD reasons to dislike Obama. We don't need made up ones.

I read about this too. What does he have to hide. Just come out and prove he didn't do this. Unless he did do it. Maybe that is why he can't deny it.

And I heard that Bush had planned to establish a Christian theocracy. Obama already invokes Jesus more often that Bush (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/06/09/politics/politico/main5074470.shtml) so the evidence says we need to stop this Obocracy before it's too late.

With posts like this, you shouldn't accuse anyone of being off the wall.
Besides, Glen Beck is not the president of the USA.

What does it matter, he is a citizen isn't he? Not some foreign king! If the majority voted for him and it appears they did, as distinct from earlier elections, then you have to wait a while then you can vote him out.
As I understand it you have a leglisature and if anything becomes law the majority of those folks have agreed to it before Obama signs it. So why blame Obama when it is those faceless persons who have done the job. Where I come from we speak of a government having a mandate which comes from policies which the electorate has been informed of before election of the government. All of this debate would suggest that a mandate doesn't exist, but surely that isn't so. You knew what you were getting, a social reformer and the people wanted that

Our Constitution makes it clear the President must be a NATURAL BORN citizen. It keeps interlopers from Australia from becoming President.
That is why the "birthers " make the issue about his birth certificate. But it is a non-issue in the case of the President ,as been demonstrated countless times here .
You knew what you were getting, a social reformer and the people wanted that
As much as the leftys want to try to spin it ;a 52% majority does not give them a mandate to gut our system and make sweeping transformations .

I want this man back in Chicago where he can practice that brand of politics without endangering the whole nation.
The present situation illustrates that we should NEVER give everything to one party.
Any party!
If one party has both houses, then we should never give them the White House. Or vice-versa.
That is the ONLY way to assure bi-partisan government, and holds legislation to a minimum, which is a good thing.

Now it's up to two million that Obamie has spent defending his right to not show his original birth certificate the populace.
I also have to wonder about that comment Michelle Obama made about how Bammy's mother was not married at the time he was born. Her comment was back in July 2008. It was to show how much Bammy knows how living in semi poverty was like. Hilarious! What will she think of next to "help" out Bammy? Hard to tell as she's busy shopping at junk stores for her clothes and the kid's clothes.

Hey twinkie, I feel the same way about Glen Beck's rape and murder of a girl in 1990. He has already tried to suppress evidence. What has he got to hide? Just show the evidence that you didn't do it - but of course he can't do that. Disgusting!

I just read that Judge Carter in California has dismissed the latest case Barnett v. Obama. It seems that Judge Carter hired a brand new law clerk yesterday and you'll never guess where this guy worked prior to joining Judge Carter - at the law firm where Obama has pumped more than $1.5 million in defending his birth certificate! Nope. Not making this up. Just Google for it and you'll see I'm not kidding about this horrible travesty of justice.
I wonder just how much $$$$$$ Judge Carter was paid for this "decision"? Probably quite a lot, quite a lot.
It's downright nauseating to see just what lengths Obama will go to "silence" someone to keep them from uncovering the truth about him. Money can certainly buy quite a lot of "silence". Federal judges are not exempt from being bribed errrr handed a "new law clerk" who just happens to have a large sack of cash held in a sack behind his back just waiting to plop it on your desk when you're distracted on the phone.
Frankly, though, I am certainly NOT surprised at this new outcome. I'm surprised that it took this long to happen.

FYI update. (from an email)
VERY QUIETLY OBAMA'S CITIZENSHIP CASE REACHES SUPREME COURT
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans
for Freedom of Information" has released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College .
Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro,
Received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the
School. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit
Brought by the group in the Superior Court of California .
The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded
A fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student
Must claim foreign citizenship. This document
Would seem to
Provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking. Along with the
Evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty
Grim.
The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and
Qualification to serve as president.
When reached for comment in London , where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister
Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue.
Britain 's Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, "Obama
Eligibility Questioned," leading some to sepeculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit
To theU.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on
Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama's legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New
Jersey.
This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio's case is just one of 18 suits
Brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending.
This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12
States for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still
Ongoing
But that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the
Matter.
While I've little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul Hollrah
Over at FSM did so yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama answering one simple question:
What passport did he use when he was shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi?
So how did a young man who arrived in NewYork in early June 1981, without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come
Up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a month later? And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York, Jakarta,
And Karachi, what passport was he
Offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration?
The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions,
They must have answers. It makes the debate over Obama's citizenship a rather
Short and simple one.
Q: Did he travel
To Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A : Yes, by his own admission.
Q: What passport did he travel under?
A: There are only three possibilities.
1) He traveled with a U.S.Passport,
2) He traveled with a British passport, or
3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.
Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?
A: No.. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. StateDepartment's "notravel" list in
1981.
Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport.
If he were traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii
As he claims.
And if he were traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that he relinquished whatever previous citizenship
He held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his
Indonesian step-father in 1967.
