Lay It Down Phillip Berg

Here’s the issue:

Mr. Phillip Berg filed a lawsuit, on Aug 21, 2008 against Sen. Barack Obama alleging that Sen. Obama was not a natural born citizen, thus ineligible for the presidency. The Berg case requires Obama to present birth documents proving otherwise (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2066207/posts).

Sen. Obama was born on Aug. 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii, the 50th state of the United States of America.

Sen. McCain was born on Aug. 29, 1936 on the Coco Solo Naval Air Station, in the Panama Canal Zone, in Panama.

On the Indonesian argument: Berg posits, even if he was “natural-born” in the first instance, by going to school in Indonesia, he forfeits his US citizenship, and would have to go through the immigration process and become a “naturalized” citizen afterwards.

Berg starts by alleging that Obama was born in Kenya not in Hawaii. He then goes acknowledging that Obama is a citizen, but forfeited his citizenship by living and going to school in Indonesia.

I guess you can lose your citizenship by living and going to school in another country.

I respond to this not because it warrants attention on its own merit. I respond instead because this is yet another example of diversionary tactics and fear-mongering.

This lawsuit is baseless and absolutely ridiculous. I don't want to waste anymore time talking about this. The lawsuit should be thrown out with the trash, with Berg in tow.

Phillip Berg, LAY IT DOWN !!
