Subject: ATTENTION — WHOA !! OBAMA'S COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS FROM OCCIDENTAL
COLLEGE..

AN EYE OPENER

This will warm your heart just thinking of all those years most of you
worked to provide an education for yourself

or your children, when you could have been as smart as our President and
accomplished it for NADA!!

Lets all gaze into our crystal balls and play "what if".

THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL, IT IS HAPPENING AT LAST...

Subject: WHOA !! OBAMA'S COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS FROM OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE..AN EYE

OPENER

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 indicates that Obama, under the name Barry
Soetoro, received financial aid

as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. 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 EMBRACE!

NEITHER ONE OF THE OBAMA PAIR HAD TIME TO GET A REAL JOB AND WORK FOR A PAY

CHECK. THEY WERE TOO BUSY LOOKING FOR FREE MONEY AND GRANTS.

WE PAID THE BALANCE ON THEIR EDUCATION AND TRAVEL

Actually, there have been.  As far as I can tell, none of htem have been
heard at the Supreme Court level.  At this point, I don't know that it would
really matter though as the only real alternative would be to kick out
Barack and let Joe take over.  That might be an even worse position.

Perhaps, or maybe he has something to hide... It would be a simple matter
to squash all the rumors by releasing an original birth certificate... If
he's not releasing it, it probably means he has something to hide... That
something might have something to do with his eligibility or it might just
be something else that he would rather not be made public... The "birth
certificate" that they did release is not an original and as such, there
could be many situations where a person might have that type of birth
certificate and not be eligible for office... If a kid was adopted, he
would have a similar birth certificate... If a kid was born out of the
country, he would have a similar birth certificate... Unless there is
something embarrassing on the birth certificate, he would have to be an
idiot to not release it... Hmmm... Although many of us might think that
he's an idiot, I doubt that this is the case in this particular instance...
I really suspect that he has something on it that he is embarrassed
about... It might not affect his eligibility, but it is something that he
probably feels embarrassed about...

I suspect that he just doesn't want to release his personal information to
teh public because some nutjobs think he might not be qualified for his
current position.  Plus, he obviously doesn't need to release it as he's
already the president.

Why would you release personal documents when you don't have a specific need
to do so?

If he is qualified, there should be no reason for him not to release the
information unless there is something else on there that although doesn't
disqualify him, it is embarrassing for him... Maybe something like father
listed as "unknown"?

I would do it to resolve the question.  He obviously does not see the need.
What I want to know is why the court system, when the matter was brought
before them, did not force him to produce the document.

Re: "It would be a simple matter

It would be impossible. If Obama does not have a copy of his original
birth certificate, and he may have lost it--as many of us do--then he
cannot get a copy of the original because Hawaii doesn't send it out
anymore. It only sends the short-form certification of live birth.
http://www.starbulletin.com/features/20090606_kokua_line.html

However, the short-form certification is the legal birth certificate
of Hawaii, and it is accepted by all the departments in Hawaii as
proof of birth in Hawaii, and it is accepted by the US State
Department as proof of birth in the USA for issuing passports.

Isn't it?  If the president is found to be unfit for office (including
unqualified), then the vice president becomes president.  Why would you
think this situation should be different?  There aren't, as far as I know,
specific instructions for dealing with a candidate who has already been
elected and later deemed unqualified to hold the position.

Unless you think the vice president would have been elected if he had run
alone, then no, that's not what should happen.  If Obama beat McCain in a
contest that Obama was not qualified to participate in, either McCain should
be declared the winner, or the contest should be repeated, this time with
qualified opponents.

In most contests, when the winner is disqualified, the runner up gets the
win, no the disqualified winner's understudy.

Besides the Constitution, Lee's illogical "solution" also fails to
note the party system.  Hypothetically say the vote ended up 1%
McCain, 99% Obama, showing an overwhelming bias toward the liberal
candidate.  In such a case, Lee's simple "solution" would thwart the
will of 99% of the populace.  Obviously the split between Obama and
McCain wasn't as drastic, but a clear majority of the American people
voted for the Democrat candidate, not the Republican one.  It's just
as logical, if not more so, to instead let the runner-up Democrat
candidate take over.  Hillary for President!

I think that you underestimate that amount of hate that many people have
for Hillary... Even with as lackluster of a candidate as McCain, it would
have been a very close race against Hillary...

If you think Obama was successful at getting out the black vote, you
can imagine what Hillary could have done with the support of the women
of this country.  Last I checked, there were as many of them as there
are of us.

As usual, Greg's wrong.

What I said should happen is that either the contest should go to the runner
up, or it should be run again.  In the kind of landslide he describes, the
obvious choice is to try again.

Since there are documented instances of massive voter fraud, it's not clear

Of course I'm not wrong.  You suggested the runner up.  I pointed out

There is no "obvious" choice in any situation because all situations
are different.  We need a bright line rule.  The constitution provides
one.  Any of your simple solutions are arbitrary, therefore illogical.

college educated bimbo who demonstrated that she's absolutely clueless

No, it's not what "should" happen.  What "should" happen is exactly what the
Constitution says "should" happen.  If you think that the Constitution
"should" be changed to incorporate the situation described with a different
outcome, then that's perfectly acceptable, but to claim that a situation
that is controlled by the Constitution should have an outcome different from
what the Constitution says is, IMO, not an acceptable solution. YMMV.

Obviously, I do think that's what should happen and, no surprise, I hope, I
have the right to say so.

Not everything that happens according to the Constitution, or the rest of
the country's body of laws, is what should happen, but because we're a
nation of law, it's what usually does happen.

Do you have proof that he is?  If not, then you can't say it was according
to the Constitution, can you.
Do you even think for a minute that there was no voter fraud, that there
were no unqualified voters that contributed to the victory?  If not, then

what "should" happen.

I've seen a reasonable amount to quell any concerns I might have had.

Birth Certificate... check
Birth announcement in the Hawaiian newspaper... check.

If you require more than that, then I'd say it would be pretty tough for any
of us to prove that we're natural born citizens.

> If not, then you can't say it was

The Constitution dictates the rules.  So, yes, it was "according to" the
Constitution.

> Do you even think for a minute that there was no voter fraud, that
> there were no unqualified voters that contributed to the victory?

I think that the election of the president went EXACTLY the way the
Constitution said it should.

The states chose electors and those electors voted for the president,
exactly the way the Constitution said they should.

Were there issues within hte individual states that may have changed the
outcome?  I have no proof that there were.  Was there voter fraud in some
instances.  I have no proof that there was, but I also believe that it
existed even though I have no proof simply because there are so many voters
and no centralized/standardized way to keep track of all of them.  Plus, the
fact that a certain percentage of people are dishonest enough to do exactly
that kind of thing makes me believe that a certain percentage of people did
exactly that.

At this point, it no longer matters unless you want Joe Biden to become
president.

Assuming that those are true, that would only prove that he is a citizen...
It doesn't prove that he is a "natural born citizen"... Unfortunately,
there are conflicting definitions to what that entails... Neither of the
two candidates wanted to open up that can of worms though...

Well, if he was born in Hawaii, as the birth certificate and the newspaper

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen

<quote>

The term "natural born Citizen" has never been defined by the Courts in
the course of a Presidential qualification challenge. It is believed by
some that this provision means that only persons born on U.S. soil to two
U.S. citizens  are “natural born Citizens” of the nation and eligible to
become President. There are others who believe that anyone who acquires
citizenship by any means other than naturalization is a "natural born
Citizen" and eligible for the Presidency. In between these extremes lie
gray areas, some controversy, and various obiter dicta from the courts. A
majority of commentators today argue that the Presidential Eligibility
clause incorporates both common-law (jus soli) and English statutory (jus
sanguinis) principles.

The Founding Fathers wanted the Commander in Chief of the Army to be
completely free of foreign influence -- that is why they put the "natural
born citizen" clause in the Constitution... Unfortunately, they slipped
up and failed to define it such that it couldn't be interpreted
differently than they intended... Using the most conservative definition
of "natural born citizen", Bama-Boy was not qualified to run... McCain
would be opening up a can of worms though if he sued on that since his
claim to be a "natural born citizen" is only slightly better than Bama-
Boy's since he was born outside of the US (although to two parents who
are definitely US citizens)... The Supremes have failed to hear various
cases because they claim that the claimants do not have any standing with
which to sue -- in other words, only McCain could sue... I suspect that
the Supremes also just don't want to get involved in this... They are
pretty good at going to a lot of effort to ensure that they do the least
amount of actual work each year...

If the government has been presented with an official birth certificate,
directly from the agency in Hawaii responsible for providing them, he's met
the same standard that I had to meet to be a government employee.  As far as
I now, that has not happened.

One has to ask why not.

Because NO president has ever presented his birth certificate to the
government or a court. There is no existing law that says that a
president must do this. There is a bill pending that would make it
required for future elections. But this bill only requires a candidate
to provide the official birth certificate, not the original birth
certificate.

Obama was the first president and second candidate (McCain was first)
to put his birth certificate on line. The Certification of Live Birth
IS the birth certificate of Hawaii. It no longer sends out copies of
the original long-form birth certificate.

There's absolutely a need for amendments, because occasionally our idea of

No, we haven't.  Ocassionally, we decide to change what should happen to
something else that should happen.  That doesn't change the fact that what
"should happen" is exactly what the Constitution says "should happen" at the
moment it is being interpreted.

So "should happen" is simply a matter of convenience, something to be
changed by amendment whenever we change our mind about what should happen.
Check.  Then there's nothing wrong with my statement of what "should
happen."  It just hasn't been changed yet.

Since you did such a good job of looking up the rules on the citizenship
issue, I spent a couple seconds looking up the rules on this one, according
to the Constitution as originally written.  At the time, the Vice President
did not ride on the coat tails of the President.  He was the runner up, the
person that received the second highest number of votes cast in the
Presidential election.

The United States presidential election of 1789 was the first presidential
election in the United States of America, and was the only one to not take
place in an even numbered year. The election took place following the
ratification of the United States Constitution in 1788. The polls opened on
December 15, 1788, and closed on January 10, 1789.  In this election, George
Washington was elected for the first of his two terms as President of the
United States, and John Adams became the first Vice President of the United
States.

Before this election, the United States had no chief executive.  Under the
previous system-the Articles of Confederation-the national government was
headed by the Confederation Congress, which had a ceremonial presiding
officer and several executive departments, but no independent executive
branch.  In this election, the enormously popular Washington essentially ran
unopposed. The only real issue to be decided was who would be chosen as vice
president. Under the system then in place, each elector cast two votes; if a
person received a vote from a majority of the electors, that person became
president, and the runner-up became vice president. All 69 electors cast one
vote for Washington. Their other votes were divided among eleven other
candidates; John Adams received the most, becoming vice president.

So, according to the Constitution, the person receiving the second most
votes became the Vice President and was the person that took over the job of
President if the President was somehow unable to continue.  The person that
received the second highest number of votes, in our last election, was
McCain.

By the way, I didn't see anything in my research that indicated that the
concept of a President that was not eligible to be one in the first place.
I suspect that, had that happened back then, the election that put that
person in power would simply have been declared null and void, and
everything would have started over . . . or the person receiving the second
highest number of votes, would have taken over, which is exactly what I said
"should happen."

That might have worked back in 1776.  Do you think anything has
changed since then?

Actually, back then, it probably would have been settled by a duel.
McCain should be a better shot than Obama with his military training,
but he's feeble and has bad arms while Obama is in prime physical
condition, so who knows?  Maybe a modern version of the duel could be
an eye-gouging, chair-breaking "wrestling match" spectacle like the
WWF, which would please McCain's NASCAR supporters immensely as they
witnessed their champion get tossed over the ropes by the Obammer
Hammer!

What is your training in constitutional research and analysis?  Uh,

Then it isn't what "should happen" yet.  If you want to say that it "should"
be changed, then so be it.

It's in the 12th Amendment.  Each elector is supposed to vote for a
president and a vice president in distinct (separate) ballots.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that the electors for Obama probably
didn't vote for McCain to be vice president.  Otherwise, he probably would
be.

The second most votes out of two ballots.

Ahhh, but the 12th amendment changed the rules.  Now, each elector casts two
ballots, but instead of both ballots being for president, one is for
president and hte other is for vice president.  I'm guessing that McCain
didn't receive the most vice president ballots in his favor.  It would have
been quite amusing if Palin had though.

Why?  We'd have someone who many people would feel was unfit to be vice
president (or president in case something happened), or we'd have Palin who
many people feel is unfit to be vice president (or president in case
something happened).

Really, the only difference I see is that the something that might happen
may have been caused by the vp if Palin had been elected instead of Biden.

Oh, and the vice president probably wouldn't be working very closely with
the president to get his agenda passed.

Wow.  Had that happened, if it is even possible for it to have happened, a
great deal would be very different.  At the very least, Obama would have to
increase his security many times.  I suspect that one of the strongest
reasons why some of the true nutcases in this country aren't already
planning their attacks on him is that the two people in line behind him are
both worse than he is.

I suspect that Sarah would, in fact, do the job she was elected to do, and
would support, rather than fight his programs, at least in public.  Their
strategy sessions, however, might be very interesting.

Like Palin wasn't muzzled?  After her embarrassing introduction to the
world, they handled her as carefully as a bomb squad would handle a
dirty nuke found in the White House.
Lee Bell - 25 Jun 2009 18:14 GMT

No, what I'm suggesting is first, that only a nutcase would try something
like the assasination of the President and second, that one of the few
things likely to be holding that particular brand of nut case back, is the
fact that they hate Joe and Nancy even worse than they hate Obama.

In a sense, though, I suppose that means that those same nut cases would
prefer Palin.  That, of course, makes me wonder what is wrong with all the
moonbat, out of touch liberals that even a nutcase makes better judgements
than they do.

You can spin it that way, to be sure.  But since only a small minority
actually liked Palin for VP, and you share that minority view along
with the nutcases crazy enough to assassinate a President, it's far
more likely that your views, and not those of the liberal majority,
are the ones to question.

How's that killfile working out for you?

There are people in America who claim that Obama is not an American (or, at
the very least, that he has not proven he is an American) and there are
people who claim he is a moslem.  My guess would be that sometimes those two
groups overlap as well.

The "rules" state that, to be president, you must be a natural born
citizen... for whatever that means.

I think that it will soon be interpreted that as long as you are a citizen
and you weren't delivered through C-section, then you qualify.

The confusion comes with the use of the term "natural born citizen" with
respect to Bama-Boy... It's a term that was used in the Constitution, but
was never really defined... Subsequent cases have changed the definition
of "citizen", but not "natural born citizen"... There are those who say
that a "natural born citizen" must be born in the US and of parents who
are both citizens... Bama-Boy does not meet that criteria...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen

The Founding Fathers had concerns about allowing the Commander in Chief
of our Army to have foreign influences and as such, they wanted to ensure
that only those who were citizens of citizens could be president... Laws
that we have passed subsequently to redefine what it takes to become a
"citizen" do not redefine what it takes to be a "natural born citizen"...
Originally, I thought that since Bama-Boy's slut mother was a citizen
then he would be and as such, could not understand the questions that
were being brought up about his eligibility for the office... After
reading a bit on this, I'm not so sure that he really was eligible
though...

From reading the above article, I can see why McCain would not bring up
this issue though... It seems that his claim for being a "natural born
citizen" might also come into question... Although his claim might be a
bit better than Bama-Boy's, it's still a bit shakey...

The Supremes have gone to great efforts to be able to hearing any case
concerning this... Obviously, they just want to stick their judicial
heads in the sand and hope it goes away... Must be nice to have a job
like that...

Perhaps, perhaps not. My point was addressing Mike;s question as to whether
african-americans are allowed to be president. Clearly, if they meet the
qualifications listed above, and can secure sufficent electors or, if the
election goes to the house, sufficient representavies, to vote for them they
can be president.

It'd be good to put the issue to rest. Supposedly the proof exists, but it

No, it's not my question.  I just did some translating since I didn't
think many of you would've heard of the word "boong."

It's not hidden away, it's at the Honolulu health department with all
the other birth certificates of people born in Honolulu.

What about the birth announcements, published in both of Honolulu's
major newspapers contemponaneously with Obama's birth.  Did the Obama
campaign go back in time to forge the birth announcements or did
Obama's poor student parents somehow know their baby was going to be
president, so they convinced two major newspapers to conspired with
them to falsify evidence of Obama's birth?

Until she passed away, sequestered, by the way, she was the only one that
could have straightened the mess out easily.  The inability to get the story
straight from somebody that knew is certainly part of what makes so many
suspect there may be truth to the allegations.

Of course, he must be legitimate.  No politician would ever lie just to gain
access to trillions of dollars for his supporters.

His Kenyan grandmother actually said that he was born in Hawaii.
Listen to the complete tape of the interview with the grandmother.

http://www.obamacrimes.info/Telephone_Interview_with_Sarah_Hussein_Obama_10-16-08.mp3

The above is the complete tape recording of the interview with Obama's
Kenyan grandmother on Berg's site. The answer she gives is "America,
Hawaii" right after she is asked: "Whereabouts was he born?" That is
at a little more than five minutes into the tape.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the leftists... Of course, one could
probably argue that one should not underestimate the stupidity of *any*
politician...

Oh, you don't think that they would put forward someone that they believed
that all the blacks would vote for and all the other weak minded non-blacks
if they thought that he could win?  They would figure that any eligibility
questions would end up going through the courts and that could drag on for
years and in the meantime, they would have control of the executive branch
of the government... Wake up!  Of course they would do it!

Besides... McCain's eligibility is only slightly better than Bama-Boy's...

I still contend that the absolute best proof that Obama is qualified is that
if he weren't, Hillary would have found out and outed him.  Of all the
things that Hillary is, coniving bitch has to be at the top of the list.  My
guess is that, if he weren't a "natural born" citizen, she probably would
have outed him right after the democratic primaries, thus forcing the
democratic party to go with their second-place option.

 I'd put mindless liberal at the top.

"For her senior year she was redistricted to Maine South High School,
where she was a National Merit Finalist and graduated in the top five
percent of her class of 1965."

"Following pressure from some fellow students, she became the first
student in Wellesley College history to deliver their commencement
address.  Her speech received a standing ovation lasting seven
minutes."

"In August 1974, she moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas, and became one
of only two female faculty members in the School of Law at the
University of Arkansas, Fayetteville"

"Historian Garry Wills would later describe her as "one of the more
important scholar-activists of the last two decades"

"In 1979, Rodham became the first woman to be made a full partner of
Rose Law Firm. From 1978 until they entered the White House, she had a
higher salary than her husband."

Mindless, indeed.

Now let's take the guy that Lee wants to be President instead:

"McCain came into conflict with higher-ranking personnel, he did not
always obey the rules, and that contributed to a low class rank (894
of 899)." [insubordinate, bottom of the class]

"He did well in academic subjects that interested him, such as
literature and history, but studied only enough to pass subjects he
struggled with, such as mathematics." [lazy and stupid!]

"John McCain's early military career began when he was commissioned an
ensign and started two and a half years of training at Pensacola to
become a naval aviator.  While there, he earned a reputation as a
partying man."  [another partying man, just like fellow intellectual
George W. Bush!]

"On July 3, 1965, McCain married Carol Shepp, a model."

"During this period in Florida, McCain had extramarital affairs, and
the McCains' marriage began to falter, for which he later would accept
blame."  [an adulterer!]

"In April 1979, McCain met Cindy Lou Hensley, a teacher from Phoenix,
Arizona, whose father had founded a large beer distributorship. They
began dating, and he urged his wife Carol to grant him a
divorce." [the only smart thing he ever did, marry a beer heiress!]

I'll take the mindless liberal conniving bitch over the dumb
insubordinate partying adulterer as someone responsible enough to run
the country any day.

McCain is not a real Republican... He's more a Democrat than a
Republican... That was part of the problem with the last election... The
true conservatives didn't really have anyone running... Then again, one
could easily argue that the last true conservative that we had was
Reagan...

Unless she thought that she was going to end up as vice president (either
through his choice or through his eventual death while in office)... It's
not like there haven't been a few people associated with the Klintons that
have conveniently died over the years...

Hillary's a conniving bitch, for sure, but even she's not perfect.

Let's keep in mind, by the way, that there are some not so pretty things in
Hillary's background as well.  It may be a case of "leave it alone unless
you think you'll survive the same treatment."

I never claimed that she was perfect.

This is not something she would have missed.

Many of which have been revealed at some point and don't seem to have
hampered her career that much.

She missed her husband having (non) sex with the hired help.
