Letter: Is Obama eligible?
Gloria Brown correctly cited the qualifications required to be a candidate for president of the United States and says Barack Obama is qualified. But is he? A lawsuit was filed Aug. 21 in Federal Court, Philadelphia, by an attorney named Philip J. Berg, a lifelong Democrat, and he calls Obama a fraud.
The suit requires Obama to produce birth documents which Obama refuses to do. Obama has put a certificate on his website with no seal, another copy reviewed by factcheck.org does have a seal and says it is valid. Berg wants Obama to produce his birth documents in court but Obama is waiting for the judge to rule on his motion to dismiss so has not complied. He has also refused to release his medical records or college records. Why?
Obama was supposedly born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and if he was may have given up his citizenship. How? Barack’s mother and father divorced and his mother remarried a citizen of Indonesia, Lolo Soatoro. His stepfather got him into school in Indonesia as Barry Soatoro and to attend school in Indonesia at that time you had to be a citizen of Indonesia. So if he was a citizen of Indonesia he would have had to become a naturalized citizen of the U.S. and not qualified to be a candidate for president. I have heard none of this on the news and I would think the FBI would have investigated. Mr. Berg says if he loses in Federal Court he will take it to either the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals or the U.S. Supreme Court. We deserve to have a true answer prior to the election.
On another topic, Mike Martinez, a self professed homosexual, lamented in his article that he did not like being called abnormal or a deviant. Well, two men trying to have some kind of sex together is not normal and is nauseating. Marriage has always been and should always be between a man and a woman. Yes on Proposition 8.

God will reveal the truth about Obama. Be patient.
This is the biggest load of tripe I’ve ever had the misfortune of reading.
Dual Citizenship does not preclude one from running for or being elected to the office of President…and behind the conspiracy theory lies this: if he’s born in Hawaii…that’s a state…if you’re born in any of the 50 states…you’re a citizen…still with me?…then your argument and inference here are totally off base.
True true. But some people do not believe in being educated (on an issue) before stating things so you end up with stuff like this letter, which contains errors that make the author of it seem ignorant.
… His mother was an American citizen, he could have been born on the moon at it wouldn’t matter. Frank, why don’t you give the real reason you are against an Obama presidency?
