ALIEN PRESIDENT

(The following was sent as an e-mail response to YET ANOTHER idiot rant about Obama's birth circumstances being not "natural born" as required under the US Constitution. A blurb about the DONOFRIO v. WELLS case was circulated this 6/26/09 and a question was raised about a scholarship application at Occidental College. It was asserted that Associate Justice Antonin Scalia had recently announced that the US Supreme Court would hear the DONOFRIO case, and that Obama had used the name "Barry Soetero" to apply for a foreign-born scholarship at Occidental College.)


Be advised as to the following:

1--Individual Supreme Court justices do not officially announce the docket. That is handled by the office of public information or the Clerk. If Scalia was saying it OUGHT to be heard, then that is just wishful bleating on his part.

2--The Supremes dismissed the Donofrio case back in December (12/8/08).

3--The information about the filing and deliberation of the Donofrio case is from last year.

FURTHER:
4--the burden of proof CLEARLY has been on those asserting that Obama was born in another country. Despite repeated challenges to do so, no one ever raising this issue of Obama's suspect birth circumstances has ever produced ANY documentation to contradict the Hawaiian birth certificate (see above) published on the Web about a year ago.

I do agree that the issue of a candidate's birth circumstances is legally relevant if there is ANY reasonable question about it. I do find it interesting that no one challenging Obama's constitutional qualifications has ever raised or acknowledged the same issue (to my knowledge) with regard to the FACT that John McCain was born in the vicinity of the Panama Canal Zone when his parents were living there. Somehow, somewhere, that was "deemed" (I know not by whom) to be a "natural born" place, though it is CLEARLY outside of the contiguous boundaries of the US. Foreign-born children of US service personnel and diplomats are USUALLY considered NOT "natural born," even though they are US citizens. The Panama Canal Zone did not exist when Article II (Section 1) of the Constitution was written! I don't believe there was even a standing army then! I don't believe the US Supreme Court has ever ruled on the "natural born" validity of births in the Panama Canal Zone because I think McCain is the first candidate young enough to have been born there.

Why did John McCain REPEATEDLY get a "pass" on this issue all last year but Obama did not? Might it have had something to do with SKIN COLOR???? I certainly think so, based upon the people who were raising the issue in my presence.

I'd be interested in seeing the arguments that Panama Canal Zone births are "natural born."

5--There will also have to be affirmative proof of some sort that Obama was the person who applied for financial aid under the name "Barry Soetero." I have heard of this issue, but I have never seen any such proof. If someone else by that name surfaces, then all of those who have raised this issue will have to eat a big bowl of shit, and I am going to feed it to them! If Obama is guilty of scholarship fraud, then let the chips fall where they may. Seems to me that examination of the Occidental College yearbook for the year in question ought to disclose either a student by that name or none at all. Have the desperate whiners tried to FIND a "Barry Soetero"? Not that I have heard about. What do the folks running Occidental College have to say about this? I have not heard any confirmation. All you report is the circumstances of a transcript in the name of "Barry Soetero." BFD.

THIS NONSENSE ABOUT OBAMA'S BIRTH CIRCUMSTANCES IS UTTER RACIST TRIPE. YOU AND ALL THE DESPERATE TWITS NEED TO PROVE IT OR QUIT CIRCULATING THIS CHICKENSHIT. Find something meaningful AND SUBSTANTIVE to criticize, like Obama's refusal to release the tortured detainee photos, or his ridiculous continuation of "faith-based" taxpayer fundings. Only the American people have been blissfully ignorant of the multiple crimes committed by, and the rancid incompetence of the Bush Admin. There is plenty real stuff out there.
