VERY QUIETLY OBAMA'S CITIZENSHIP CASE REACHES THE 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 school indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate  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 speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit to the U.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.





LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS, THE MEDIA WON'T !**





Subject: RE: Issue of Passport?


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 New York 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. State Department's "no travel" 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.





Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a "natural born" American citizen between 1981 and 2008..





Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress,the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.
Hmmm...

Wow, not looking good for old Barry.

Anyone know if Indonesia is one of those countries you have to renounce your other citizenship to join?

ETA: This reminds me of another question I never got a good answer to: At what point in the campaign/inauguration process, and to whom, does the candidate have to prove he's a citizen?

Things just got interesting, if this is in fact true.

Eta:

Most already know he's been trying to hide something, but holy shiite, 1 million just to block disclosure! (no wonder excessive spending doesn't have any shock value to him.)

The article is predicated on the idea that his Hawaii birth certificate is false, which is rather unlikely; and that the second "Kenyan birth certificate" is true, just dated wrong instead of being a forgery like the first.
No travel lists don't magically keep people from flying or swapping passports between airports, nor does the US even recognize the concept of dual citizenship, require people to choose between citizenships, or force people to lose citizenship when gaining it in another country unless specifically done for that purpose.

It's just provincial reporters who don't understand how expat life works. One glance at the State Dept. page sinks half their argument.

The US recognizes dual citizenship.  I believe you can't have more than that, though.  Buddy of mine naturalized as a US citizen while retaining his Chinese citizenship.  My dad did the same thing while retaining his Iranian citizenship.

It recognizes it as a fact of life that it can't change, not as a part of US law. Use of a foreign passport doesn't endanger your US one.

Doesn't really matter to Obama though, because his birth certificate was available in 08.
While some folks don't like the "short-form" version, it does state it's prima facie, self-evident, right there on the form. For context, Hawaii became a state in 1959.

Ert - wrong. Just because the US puts a country on a no-travel list, doesn't mean one can't still get into that country.

Cuba is on that list as well. I have a friend who repeatedly has gone there for weeks at a time. Cuba doesn't care if you come in. You fly there from Mexico.

From there you can bribe someone to not stamp your passport, or come with two and 'lose' the one  Cuba stamped so the US is clueless where you have been.
