Obama's 2012 Eligibility Not Yet Vetted



Father & BHO


Obama's father was British citizen, Barack Hussein Obama,Sr., born in Kanyadhiang Village, Rachuonyo District, Kenya Colony, never a US citizen.  How does that affect Obama?







Obama’s step-father was Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo, born in Bandung, West Java, never a US citizen.  How does that affect Obama?






Step-father, mother, & BHO

Step-father, mother, & BHO
The office of President of the United States requires the person elected to be a natural-born United States citizen if the child was not born to two US citizen parents.



US Law very clearly stipulates: “If only one parent was a US citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.”

Barack Obama’s father was not a US citizen, and Obama’s mother was only 18 when he was born, which means although she had been a US citizen for 10 years, his mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years prior to Barack Obama’s birth.

In order for her child to have been a natural-born US citizen, his mother would have had to be 21 at the time of his birth.



We know every detail about other presidents and their families — especially their goofy relatives.  Jimmy Carter’s brother, Billy, actually worked for Moammar Gadhafi, when he wasn’t selling his Billy Beer.  Bill Clinton’s half brother, Roger, served time in prison for cocaine, and his impeachment for his sexual conduct while in office.  Sarah Palin only ran for vice president, but we know everything about her, her child Trig, with Down’s Syndrome — and her daughter Bristol’s ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston.  Michelle Bachmann and her 23 foster children, Bush’s partying as a teenager, etc, etc.

Obama has been much more reclusive.  Even though SECRETIVE may be a better description of Obama’s agenda?  Up until today’s date, Obama has spent $2+ MILLION dollars to prevent access to his birth and personal records, has publically presented two forged documents as his “official” record of birth, and refused to allow current immigration law to prosecute deportation against 2 of his relatives who were discovered to live here in the US as illegal aliens.  Obama directed Attorney general Eric Holder join with Mexico to actually SUE the State of Arizona to PREVENT them from enforcing existing federal immigration law!  That would be important if you wanted to create voters out of illegal aliens, and be sure to get their vote?  But how does it fit into Obama's OATH to "...uphold the Constitution of the United States of America", and how is that good stewardship of taxpayer monies during the economic crisis we now find ourselves suffering?
 
Obama’s Aunt Zeituni is living on public support (living in public housing on the taxpayer’s dime instead of her nephew’s millions), and she also is not being prosecuted as an illegal alien.






Uncle Onyango Obama, another of Obama’s relatives living here in the US as an illegal alien, recently was arrested for DUI, posting a 0.14 - nearly TWICE the legal limit for LEGAL CITIZENS of 0.08, after nearly ramming his SUV into a police car.   Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement has warrant for Onyango’s arrest and ICE previously ordered him to be deported back to Kenya.  This court order “strangely” has not been carried out.  In the meantime, a judge has not set bail on the driving charges but ordered that he be held on the ICE warrant.

In essence, Obama’s mother WAS a US citizen, but WAS NOT OLD ENOUGH to qualify her son for automatic US citizenship.  As mentioned above US law REQUIRES “If only one parent was a US citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.”  So Obama is INELIGIBLE to hold the office as POTUS since neither his father nor step-father was EVER a US citizen, and Obama’s mother was only 18 when he was born, which means although she had been a US citizen for 10 years, his mother fails the test for being a US citizen for a minimum of 5 years prior to Barack Obama’s birth (who was born when she was only 18 years old.
 

Obama will be on hand at the Kalamazoo Central High School commencement ceremony next month. The school won a national competition to bring the president to the school. All seniors are being asked to provide social security numbers, birthdates, and citizen status so the Secret Service can perform background checks.

I find it interesting these kids have to provide more paperwork to go to their graduation than Obama does to be president.  Well, at least we know where these kids actually went to school.


“SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG HAPPENED IN 2008″
Jim Black letter sent September 2, 2011, posted on The Post & Email

The following letter was sent to the Florida Director of Elections today:
Roseanne Catalano
Director- Division of Elections
107 West Gaines St.
Collins Building – Suite 224
Tallahassee, Fl 32399-1050


Dear Editor:

Dear Ms. Catalano,
If it was a Republican President, I would still write this letter.  Something terribly wrong happened in 2008 and I’m sure the American people don’t want a repeat for 2012.  I don’t believe that Barack Obama should have been placed on the 2008 ballot, nor be placed on the 2012 ballot.  Assuming that the meaning we have for “natural born citizen” is the historically and legally accepted one, then he is not eligible for the Presidency because he does not meet that definition and in accordance with Art. 2, Sect. 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.

1Barack Obama’s father was born a British subject.

2Barack Obama, Jr. inherited his father’s citizenship.


3All the evidence shows that Obama was born in Kenya.


4Both parents must be U.S. citizens to confer natural born citizenship on their children.

5Barack Obama, Sr. was never a U.S. citizen.

6Barack Obama, Jr., for that reason alone, is ineligible for the Presidency.





WHY NATURAL BORN CITIZENSHIP?

John Jay’s letter to George Washington, July 25, 1787 – “Permit me to hint whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of foreigners into the administration of our national government; and to declare expressly that the command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on any but a natural born citizen.



DEFINERS OF NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
The U.S. Naturalization Act of 1790 – “And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens:  Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States.”  (Obama’s father was not a U.S. citizen; rather, a British subject).  The Act was repealed in 1795, but not because of any dispute over the meaning of “natural born citizen.”

Schneider v. Rusk, 377 U.S. 163 (1964):  “We start from the premise that the rights of citizenship of the native-born (natural born) and of the naturalized person are of the same dignity and are coextensive.  The only difference drawn by the Constitution is that only the “natural born” citizen is eligible to be President.

Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393, 476-77 (1857);  “The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country of parents who are citizens.”

Minor v. Happersett (88 US 162 – 1874);  “The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens.  Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that.  At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also.  These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.  Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents.  As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.

John Bingham, framer of the 14th amendment:  “Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.”  (to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (Mar. 9, 1866)

Emerich de Vattel’s “Law of Nations,” Book 1, Chap. 19, Sect. 212 – “The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”  (In 1814 the U.S. Supreme Court in THE VENUS relied upon and cited Vattel’s “Law of Nations” as the authority in determining the citizenship of a “domicil”.  See U.S. Supreme Court, THE VENUS, 12 U.S. 253 and The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253 (1814).  The Law of nations is mentioned in Art. 1, Sect. 8, Clause 10 of the Constitution.

Other References: Supreme Court and lower court decisions defining “natural born citizen.”  Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 242 (1830), Ex parte Reynolds, 20 F. Cas. 582 (C.C.W.D. Ark 1879), United States v. Ward, 42 F. 320 (1890); Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), Ludlam, Executrix, & c., v. Ludlam, 26 N.Y. 356 (1863).

RESOLUTION 511 AFFIRMS THAT DEMOCRATS KNEW
OBAMA WAS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
Resolution 511 was about vetting Sen. John McCain to make sure that he was a “natural born citizen.”  No attempts were made to vet then Senator Obama for the same thing.  Obviously, the vetting cleared McCain and Democrats were satisfied that he was eligible.  But the Sponsors of Res. 511 (Senators McCaskill, Coburn, Webb, Leahy, Clinton, Obama) affirmed that Obama is not a natural born citizen.  In the text of the Resolution, it says, “Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936:  Now, therefore, be it resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a ‘‘natural born Citizen’’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.”  “American citizens” is plural.  BOTH of Obama’s parents had to be U.S. citizens for their son to be eligible.  His father never was a U.S. citizen.  During one of the hearings, even Sen. Patrick Leahy affirmed this when he said, “Because he (McCain) was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen.”  By recognizing that both parents must be U.S. citizens for their child to be a natural born citizen, they acknowledged that Barack Obama was not eligible because his father was not a U.S. citizen.  Why wasn’t Sen. Obama vetted on the same issue?  Why did the DNC nominate a candidate who wasn’t eligible?

EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT OBAMA WAS NOT BORN IN THE U.S.

A.   Barack Obama’s wife Michelle, during her 8-28-08 speech before LGBT delegates at the Democratic Convention in Denver, remarked that Kenya is her husband’s "home country"  And in a Dec. 2007 fund raiser she made in Tampa, she referred to her husband as, “a Kenyan.”
B.   In Oct. 2008, Barack Obama’s Kenyan step-grandmother, Sarah Hussein, said twice in a telephone interview that she was present when her grandson was delivered in the Coast Province Hospital in Mombasa. Her story changed after she conferred with some families, but scroll down to paragraph 8 in BISHOP RON McRAE's AFFIDAVIT.
C.   During the Mar. 25, 2010 session of Parliament, Kenyan Minister of Lands, James Orengo, stated that Barack Obama was BORN IN KENYA, and during the Parliament Session of Nov. 5, 2008, ten members stood to recognize the victory of Obama.  Everyone of them noted that the President is a “son of the soil, born in Kenya, roots in Kenya, our brother of Kogelo.”
D.  Former Senior Hawaii elections clerk, Tim Adams, submitted a SWORN AFFIDAVIT stating that he was informed by his supervisors that no long-form birth certificate exists for Obama in Hawaii.
E.   No hospital has publicly announced that it is the birth hospital of Obama.  Kapi’olani Hospital, where Obama claims to have been born, will not confirm or deny Obama’s being born there, even with the knowledge that he has shown a document to the world saying that Kapi’olani was where he was born.  For a short period of time, Kapi’olani posted on their website a Jan. 24, 2009 letter written by Obama saying that he was born there.  But it was taken down shortly after and there is suspicion that it WASN'T WRITTEN BY OBAMA.
F.    Hawaiian Gov. Neil Abercrombie conducted his own search for Obama’s birth certificate and concluded it DOESN'T EXIST, just something “written down in the archives.”  Yet, Obama showed the world his Hawaiian long form birth certificate on Apr. 27, 2011 and of which former Director of the Hawaii Department of Health, Chiyome Fukino, said was, “half typed and half written.”
G.   On April 27, 2011, Obama showed the world a document stating that he was born in Hawaii.  This document has come under examination by several scanning and imaging experts, all who have concluded it is a FORGERY.  To date, no official challanges have been made.
H.  In July 2011, a subpoena for the release of Obama’s official Hawaiian birth certificate was issued to the Director of the Hawaii Department of Health, Loretta Fuddy.  She was ordered to present it at the HDOH offices to California Attorney Orly Taitz on Aug. 8, 2011.  She failed to produce it and the District Court of Hawaii has ordered Director Fuddy to appear in court on Sept. 14, 2011 to explain why she did not comply with the subpoena.  On Aug. 30, the Court RESCHEDULED it for Nov. 21, 2011.
 

In 1881, Chester Arthur usurped the Presidency because he too was not a natural born citizen.  He, like Obama, lied about the CITIZENSHIP of his parents.


The American people deserve a constitutionally qualified President, one who is a natural born citizen based on the definition as documented in the historical and legal record.  Please look into these matters and let me know if you find them to be true and, if so, what course of action the Division of Elections will take.  Thank you kindly.

Sincerely,
Jim Black

Charlie Reese's Final Column


Subject: Charley Reese's final column

Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel.  He has been a journalist for 49 years.  He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.

Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.

This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be.  The article below is completely neutral - neither anti-Republican nor anti-Democrat.  Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day.  It's a short but good read.  Worth the time.  Worth remembering!


545 Politicians vs. 300,000,000 People

- By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and higher taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget.  The President does.


You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.  The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
 
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress.  In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.  They have no legal authority.  They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing.  I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.  The politician has the power to accept or reject it.  No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault.  They cooperate in this common SCAM, regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall.  No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.  The President can only propose a budget.  He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.  Who is the speaker of the House?  John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party.  He and fellow House members, not the
President, can approve any budget they want.  If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted, by present facts, of incompetence and irresponsibility.  I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.  When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
 
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire
and whose jobs they can abolish;  to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject;  to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.  Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy", "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people and they alone, are responsible.

They and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.
 

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.



We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess.

What in the heck happened?  Can you spell 'politicians?'

I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times! YOU can help it get there!!!
 
If we have let the reins slip from our hands, it is now time to take back the reins.  Patriots must be willing to make the sacrifices and expend the effort to return our government to the control of we the people.

GO AHEAD. . . BE AN AMERICAN.

The Democrats Re-Define Their Re-Birth of Racism



The Democrats first created racism, and have been RE-DEFINING Racism for decades!



Democratic Party: Birth of Racism in America


Posted September 1, 2011 by Ann-Marie Murrell on The Patriot Update





With all the rhetoric from people like Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters - and even Nancy Pelosi - claiming everyone in the Tea Party is a racist, I think it’s time we examine the true beginnings of racism in America.


Like most people, I was raised to believe that all racist-type problems originated from the Republican Party.


WRONG - and I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t realize just how thoroughly wrong I was until last year when I watched a video by PJTV’s AlfonZo Rachel called “Examining Black Loyalty to Democrats”.

I watched it early one morning and after it was over I woke up my husband and made him watch it with me.  He was just as shocked as I was at the disinformation we’d been fed all our lives.

"Examining Black Loyalty to Democrats"B“EXAMINING BLACK LOYALTY TO DEMOCRATS”.  Please watch it and discuss it with your entire family and share it with your friends.
 

“The Democrat Party has been the pro-slavery party, the pro-segregation party, the anti-civil rights party but the majority of the black community vote democrat,” Alfonzo says.   “The Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist fraternity founded by the Democrat Party & their message was simple: vote or die.  And when you vote, make sure it’s Democrat.”

Maybe in 2011, after originally being threatened to “vote Democrat or die”, African-Americans are perpetuating their Democratic tradition more out of habit than logic.

I posted Zo’s video on my page (for at least the 3rd time) and one of my Facebook friends, Jeff Stebelton, filled up my entire page with facts about the Civil Rights movement.   AlfonZo even commented about Jeff’s post saying, “Thank you Jeff for posting the civil rights record of Republicans;  a record the Democrats can’t touch.  I hope every Republican who sees it and copies it for their records to remind Democrats what the real deal is.”

I agree with AlfonZo that every Republican and Democrat needs a reminder of who’s who in America - especially in light of the constant stream of racist accusations coming out of the White House. 


So below are the Civil Rights records of the Republican and Democratic Parties, starting with 1858 and ending with 1996.

I’m hearing chatter that this is going to be a very race card-driven election, so the best way we can combat their accusations is to arm ourselves with all the facts.   We all need to know who we really are - and who they really are as well.
