Legal Challenge To Obama Candidacy Likely

Investigative sleuthing by Internet bloggers has revealed that Sen. Barack Obama's campaign likely produced a fake certificate of live birth to conceal facts about his past which might bear on his eligibility to serve as president of the U.S. An investigative journalist at Texas Darlin blog has established that Sen. Obama went by the name "Barry Soetoro" while he lived in Indonesia with his birth mother and step father. Piecing together facts in the public domain, the investigative journalist was able to surmise that Sen. Obama's step father had adopted him and his name had been legally changed from Barack Hussein Obama to Barry Soetoro. When an adoption occurs, the child's birth certificate is re-issued with the name of the adoptive parent and the original birth certificate ceases to exist. Records of the adoption are sealed. The investigative reporting at Texas Darlin concludes this is the reason Obama's campaign is using a fake certificate of live birth to prove his natural born status. Indonesian records indicate that Barry Soetoro was an Indonesian citizen identified in his public school records as being a Muslim, the religion of his adopted father. It is unclear if and when Obama had his name legally changed back to Barack Hussein Obama, II.

As the Texas Darlin blog points out, these unanswered questions about Sen. Obama's past are going to haunt him throughout this campaign. Legal actions are likely to be initiated against him challenging his eligibility as a "natural born" person within the meaning of Article II of the U.S. Such a legal action has already been filed in U.S. federal district court in New Hampshire against Sen. John McCain, arguing that his birth in the Panama Canal Zone while his father was in the service of the U.S. Navy makes him ineligible to run for president. McCain produced his birth certificate to reporters to examine and the U.S. Senate took up the issue in a resolution, even though most legal scholars agree that McCain meets the constitutional requirement as a "natural born citizen". It is a disservice to the integrity of the Democratic Party's presidential nominating process that these issues have not been resolved prior to the party's nominating convention later this month in Denver. Unprecedented pressure on Sen. Hillary Clinton has compelled her to ask that her name not be placed in nomination, breaking a decades-old tradition and ensuring that delegates with buyer's remorse won't have an opportunity to cast their vote for Clinton or another qualified candidate.

Obama's name will not be certified to each of the fifty states until after he is officially nominated at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. After that occurs, lawsuits will likely be filed in many states challenging his eligibility to be on the November ballot. This could create a constitutional nightmare for this year's presidential election. The mainstream media has completely ignored this issue to date and refused to research and discover information easily obtained by Internet bloggers, which raise considerable doubts about Obama's eligibility and which reveal the extent to which Obama has lied to the American public about who he really is. Believing that the American electorate would never elect him if he disclosed the fact that he was once a Muslim as a child, he chose to lie about it. Obama has hidden from the American people his Indonesian identity and citizenship, knowing that it could disqualify him under Article II. A fake birth certificate is produced to throw off detractors. This is completely unacceptable conduct for a person who would become Commander In Chief and have his finger on the nuclear button. The American people must be able to have confidence in the person to whom they entrust with this authority. Never before have the American people been so misled about the identity and background of a presidential candidate. The time for answers is now.
