What's funny is that these suits don't challenge the fact that Obama was born in Hawaii and therefore is a "natural-born" citizen. They just make all sort of assumptions about his Kenyan citizenship (which he lost when he turned 21) and his supposed Indonesian citizenship, which nobody's sure he ever had.

Seems to me that if Obama was legally adopted and became a citizen of Indonesia and renounced his US citizenship, there'd be a record of that somewhere.

Wonder why Berg couldn't find that...

There people are wasting their time and the courts' resources.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The McCain camp and his supporters are trying to come up with anything to derail they're candidate's downward spiral.

It's interesting to note the timing of these lawsuits filed less than two weeks before the election.

Desperation, I tell ya.

Anyone can file lawsuits.
People sue god.
Its more the outcome that matters.

That there is the rub isn't it?
This is why Obama needs to provide the vault certificate and put an end to all this or it will follow him to the white house and possible impeachment.

I thought nobody had any money? begs the question, who can afford all these Lawers and suits?

All I have been hearing for ages is people having no spare cash, yet they find enough money to do something like this? also if they fail don't they have to pay court costs also? who exactly is behind this?

It won't follow him anywhere because, like in Berg's case, the burden of proof is on the person making the claims. Berg's case was too general and didn't offer any evidence.

Neither will any of these 8 other cases.

Don't have to be a prophet to know that all of these will be thrown out.

It seems like all the recent lawsuits against the eligibility of a presidential candidate has been thrown out due to the plaintiff not having standing. This includes the one against McCain. I don't see how any of these lawsuits will change that.

..

Mr. Obama could have completely dealt with this lunacy by addressing the situation when it first arose. What a lame issue to avoid, it isn't like it is simply going to go away. You either are or are not a citizen of the United States of America.

He CHOOSES not to deal with this critical issue and on that avoidance I count him unworthy of my vote. He is simply demonstrating deception.

This is a simple matter of producing citizenship proof.
How hard is it?
If he has no proof of citizenship then let him come forward and tell us he lacks the credentials to prove it and let the court deal with the matter.

Obama is wasting all of our time and is further making a fiasco of this already disgusting political debacle.

By rushing helter-skelter into the Presidential arena, before his "time", he has self-destroyed a potentially illustrious political career. He admitted himself at the first, that he lacked experience and was not a viable choice to lead the country. He did not listen to his gut.

Oh the folly of youth.

The only one that matters is the one going to the Supreme Court. If that one refuses to get heard by SCOTUS then I'd say the other smaller cases will snuff out relatively quickly.

He already did that. He has produced his birth certificate and people don't think it's real. They want more proof.

Whatever he produces, people aren't going to believe him because they don't WANT him to be president.

Considering Surrick labeled Berg's case "frivolous", and considering the Supreme Court is harder on standing, I am fairly confident it's going to get thrown out.
