For Immediate Release: - 10/21/08 - Complete contact details and pdfs of this press release and motions filed by plaintiff Berg today are at the end of this article
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania - 10/21/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama's lack of "qualifications" to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and tbe DNC "ADMITTED", by way of failure to timely respond to Requests for Admissions, all of the numerous specific requests in the Federal lawsuit. Obama is "NOT QUALIFIED" to be President and therefore Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President and the DNC shall substitute a qualified candidate. The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Berg stated that he filed Requests for Admissions on September 15, 2008 with a response by way of answer or objection had to be served within thirty [30] days. No response to the Requests for Admissions was served by way of response or objection. Thus, all of the Admissions directed to Obama and the DNC are deemed "ADMITTED." Therefore, Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President.

This is not an issue. FORGET IT.
Unless he has taken the Oath of Allegiance as a Naturalized Citizen since he was 18 years old, and if he was born in Mombasa, Kenya, Barack Hussein Obama II would not be a US Citizen, period. The issue of whether or not he was Natural Born under Article II of the Constitution of the United States would cease to matter and he would need to be Deported as an Illegal Alien. There is more about this at http://africanpress.wordpress.com/2008/10/14/if-you-are-a-natural-us-born-citizen-what-are-you-hiding-barack-obama/
Really? Where?
Berg is an unhinged nut case. Anyone who would take him or his insane shananagins seriously needs a CAT scan.
Actually, when the crap about McCain began to surface, the U.S. Senate actually voted to confirm he was eligible to vote. It was unanimous.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/01/AR2008050103224_pf.html
You have demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are an idiot. Did you actually READ what the press release says? Berg claims that since Obama did not fill out the questionaire, then he is admitting the statements are true by default. That is not how the U.S. courts work. it NEVER HAS BEEN. It is the job of the plaintiff to "prove" his case, not for the defendent to disprove.
Patti,
These are facts that are not disputed in any reasonable circles. Do you really think that if there was anything to this, the Republican dominated Federal courts would be allowing his campaign to go this far. Seriously, both candidates are natural born citizens and this faux issue is of zero importance.
Now I'm sorry I wasted my time on such idiocy...
Obam/Biden
Gather should allow editing of comments!
Berg is arguing since Obama refused to admit to the charges, then he has admitted to the charges. Rather circular logic...or lack thereof.

I don't know whether he is a citizen or not but I do find it goes against all common sense to hire lawyers and file motions to dismiss when a $10 birth certificate could easily be supplied. Leads one to think there must be something to this. If he waste money like that on attorneys I don't want him playing with my tax dollars. It does sound implausible at first but like so manythings about Mr. Obama, many things that would more than raise the media's eyebrow if it were John McCain are brushed aside. It is relevent that he had prior association with a terrorist, a convicted felon and Jerimiah Wright. It speaks to character when one associates with those folks in my opinion. Today the economy's the issue. Tomorrow it may be an attack. I'm not handing the keys over to a rookie.
That is true, and completely irrelevant to Mr. Obama's status. The question of why Mr. Obama has not simply responded to Mr. Berg's suit by producing the documentation to demonstrate where he was born, for the court to have examined independently by qualified experts, and allow access to hospital records which would verify the basis upon which the BC was issued, remains. Why go through all this, if he has the ability to simply snuff the whole thing out? It makes no sense, politically . . .
Unless perhaps Mr. Obama can prove his eligibility, but is waiting till the Repubs are "drawn in" to the matter (which thus far they aren't), so as to use it as an example of false accusations and "desperate" tactics etc. On the other hand, if the Repubs already know he isn't eligible, it is in their interest to have that revealed as late as possible, so the Dem's will be hard pressed to "switch horses", and the Repubs end up winning despite a generally terrible political climate for them . . .
I don't believe this thing is over . . .
He is campaining while also taking time to be with his critically ill grandmother who was always there for him in a time and place where that was difficult enough.
He doesn't have to respond to every low life slug out there. He just needs to be with his family and also campaign. He hasn't stooped to the low low depth the Rovians have yet so why should he start now.
I hope he wins and I would laugh my tail off if he turns around and sues people for libel and slander afterwards.

Please remember to put on your tinfoil hat before viewing them.
The question remains; Why not settle the matter officially ?
It may be nothing,but if it is it will be a bigger mess if he is elected.
And Sandy,I will ignore your statement.You are always reliably nasty.
Oh, I don't know. Maybe for the same reason McCain never produced his "vault" birth certificate and had his lawyers fight it. One should not be held hostage by every wacko that decided to file a lawsuit.
Obama HAS ALREADY publicly released a legal, authorized copy of his birth certificate, issued by the state of Hawaii. Now don't you think that if the currently available certificate was in fact "fake" the government of Hawaii would have not filed fraud charges? Because creating a false birth certificate is in fake a crime, and one I trust any good prosecutor would go after in a heartbeat. The only people who are claiming the birth certificate is a fake are anonymous bloggers. Every legitimate person who has viewed, touched, and dissected the certificate has attested to its legitimacy.
Not in a court of law, he hasn't, despite the clear opportunity to do so. Why not just do so?
Obama just does not have time for petty things, but the GOP sure does have lots of time for sheer pettiness. That tells you a lot about what party should be elected.
And for the records, Berg's lawsuit is bogus and outrageously annoying. Any of the courts and their circuits would not even proceed. Trust me, because if this thing is so huge, wouldn't you think the news would be talking about it? And I promise you, you'll never hear about this again. Because it is a load of crap.
This kind of information is meant for the uneducated voters who are gullible.
Obama was born in America,there is a small town named after him in the state of Socialist Massachucsetts.Name of town "Spread the Wealth",Cove, NH.. ZIP-666 UH-UH-UM-AH.

All the candidates have to qualify for a particular security clearance. If they had not padded muster, they would not have been allowed to run. That's the way it is.
If you're looking for "universal truth" I suggest you read Marx. Groucho, that is.
Ok, I don’t want to get your hopes up, they didn’t mention berth certificate at all. But it is a very interesting story, nonetheless – you might find the real list of documents that are sought after of interest.
As I was reading story, all the people that I have read on gather discussing the Obama birth certificate conspiracy came to mind. I again thought to myself, do they ever ask why the MSM is not asking the question about his birth certificate.
Even if you, somehow, believe that all the so called liberal media is actively helping Obama on the cover-up.
Surely, at some point you have to ask, why is FoxNews not asking the question?
What answer do you come-up with?
What are the candidates hiding?
According to Barak Obama, "I was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, M.A. a citizen of Indonesia".
That makes Barak Obama a Citizen of Indonesia, not Kenya...Hawaii is simply a distraction from this issue.
Just a a child adopted to a U.S. citizen becomes a U.S. Citizen, so also in most other countries.
Face it, Barak Obama is an Indonesian crypto-muslim operating under the facade of an outrageous brand of Christianity...in the U.S. it is better to be a creepy Christian than a Jew or Muslim in Politics.
Even Fox or the RNC won't give a minute to this junk.
The one argument you keep raising,
“Not in a court of law, he hasn't, despite the clear opportunity to do so. Why not just do so?”
The “why don’t he do so”, is the only argument that I find somewhat compelling.
But let me ask you these;
How do you know you are getting the real fact about the whole matter? What I mean is, what your source? And what gives you the confidence the stories that you are getting is credible?
There is nothing in the MSM about these.
A few days back, the story all over gather was about damaging evidence that will soon be revealed; the big evidence supposedly could get Obama deported, within the next few days. Are you kidding me; why should I find these sources credible?
Also before I ask why don’t Obama comply, I will ask, if there is some important document that is not verified, why is not the McCain camp demanding that Obama produce the required document?
Cause, think about it -- Obama shouldn’t have to respond to every crazy case that anybody brings against him.
Next thing you know, someone will claim that Obama is not really a man, and demand verification. And somebody on gather will start a blog; and it will be discussed like a real issue. And some one will ask “why don’t Obama just show them his penis, what is he hiding?”
If there is a credible case, some credible person/group should raise the issue: like McCian, a McCain surrogate, even Palin will do. Or Foxnews could demand answer.
And if there were real questions, they would have asked -- don't you think?
Learn to read. PLEASE. FOR the love of the gods. LEARN TO READ! Obama did NOT say that. Berg sent Obama a of statements and demanded that he either confirm or deny the statements. Obama refused to acknowledge the ridiculous request. Berg is claiming Obama is admitting to the statements because he refused to admit to the statements. OBAMA did not say anything. BERG wrote these statements, and then expected Obama to waste time responding. Berg is arguing the Obama is admitting the statements are true by failing to respond to the statements.
Is that clear enough?
Posted by africanpress on October 24, 2008
Seattle WA. 10/22/2008 — Lawsuits in eight states as of this writing– Hawaii, Washington, California, Florida, Georgia. Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut, are seeking judicial authority to force the certifying or decertifying of Senator Barack Obama’s qualification to run as a candidate for President as a natural born U.S. Citizen. Previously, two lawsuits have failed to force the certifying documents from Obama.
Yes that is what I don’t understand; if that was the case, the court would have taken some action and it would have made the news. Then we would have credible sources on the developments.
As it is, there is no credible source; you can’t take anything you hear as a fact, it is all just rumors.
It isn't a full resume that makes someone qualified. GWB has two terms each as Governor of Texas and US President and is STILL unqualified.
Barack Obama obviously has the temperament for the job, as he has not reacted in kind to the hateful rhetoric of the McCain-Palin campaign. And yes, I think his experience as a Community Organizer is of value as well.
He is obviously well read and can apply the concepts within real world situations. John McCain has shown that whatever values he holds are easily and frequently abandoned for the sake of expediency.
Have fun tearing me apart...
FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.
Patti, I don't know whether you realize this or not, but you should have provided a link to the site from which you copied this information, and it should have been noted in your post that what you copied and pasted was from that site. The way you have it posted, it appears that you have written it, and that's not a good thing.
Consequently, do you believe like Philip J. Berg believes that 9/11 was an inside job, that our own government was responsible? His lawsuit for that one was dismissed.
Unless factcheck.org missed this one bigtime, then you are doing nothing but polluting the Internet with mindless crap.
There is a reason nothing has happened until now: There is nothing here. No one in politics, especially influential and important people, take these accusations seriously.
Chris Jackson--you sound like a right-wing nut.
"How do you know you are getting the real fact about the whole matter?"
I don't.
"What I mean is, what your source?"
I have visited many web sites, including Mr. Berg's, and seen what appear to be genuine copies of court documents, including responses from the defendants. I have seen interviews of Mr. Berg discussing these matters as well. I assume that publishing false court documents is illegal, and quite actionable by the defendants. I see no reason why an attorney would risk significant financial damages, and probable disbarment for generating such an easily revealed hoax.
"And what gives you the confidence the stories that you are getting is credible?"
I feel I covered that fairly well.
"Cause, think about it -- Obama shouldn’t have to respond to every crazy case that anybody brings against him."
Well, I did think about it; he doesn't have to respond, apparently. It may cost him millions of votes in the end if he doesn't, and it may cause a "Constitutional crises" if he gets elected, and it turns out he's not legally qualified to be the President, but he doesn't have to respond. Lucky him.
Consequently, do you believe like Philip J. Berg believes that 9/11 was an inside job, that our own government was responsible? His lawsuit for that one was dismissed."
Nanina Hawk, Oct 23, 2008, 11:40pm EDT
She just posted this exact same comment on my article. They are two entirely different articles, warranting two enitrely different comments. How can you people do this? Do you read?
The docs that should have been posted at the end of the article are actually on the Plaintiff Philip Berg's website www.ObamaCrimes.com.
I am saying that Obama is an American, I don't have a doubt about it. If there was a chance that he wasn't the GOP would be on it big time.
I am saying that our next president of the United States is a Citizen by birth.
now if your actually american (like me) wouldnt you want to see the credentials of the person you employ to run our country? im not saying hes not natural born but with all the bullshit getting thrown around who effing knows anymore. i would say that especially if you'r a supporter of obama, you'd want the truth. i wont vote for either of them because they're both power hungry war mongerers, but i sure as hell dont want a "spy" in office
It was Indonesia, and yes, it is a part of the same lawsuit. I agree with much of your reasoning (But feel it is within even a math student's grasp to hit that big key that says "Shift" once in a while ; )
Robert G., Oct 23, 2008, 7:23pm EDT
What the heck is that crack susposed to mean? Don't try and drag me into this mess, you're getting coal in your stocking this year mister.
NO, he did not. McCain was sued twice and never produced a so-called "Vault" copy of a birth certificate. In both cases, McCain's lawyers had it thrown out on the grounds that the plaintiff did not have standing. In fact, it is believed a vault copy of McCain's certificate does not even exist and may have been lost.
I don't doubt for a second McCain is a U.S. citizen, just like a don't doubt for a second Obama is a U.S. citizen. The point being is that McCain has not produced a "vault" copy either, not in court and not ever. Why should Obama have to just to appease a few wingnuts that aren't going to vote for him anyway and don't even care what the truth is?
Oh, yeah; and your .pdf links aren't there.
With statements like these you have just got to have a verification trail; if you want even a hope of being believed that is.
“I see no reason why an attorney would risk significant financial damages, and probable disbarment for generating such an easily revealed hoax.”
Fair enough; But the only thing we know is that he (Berg) have filed a case questioning Obama’s qualification to serve as President. Subsequently, Obama has all but ignored him, and Berg sited a “rule 36”, which as I understand is a de facto admition of guilt by a defendant that refuses to respond to a case brought against him.
Where do you get the part that Obama is refusing to present his birth certificate?
Also granted Berg will not present a forged court document, but he probably reports only the documents that are favorable to his argument. How do you know you are getting an objective reporting of the developments?
Also you mentioned that you have seen a responses from the defendants ; just to be sure, is this also presented as a court document released by Berg? If so, could you give the link?
Again, If there is a real case why do you suppose that foxnews doesn’t report on it?
And as I mentioned in my erlier comment, Poletico just recently did a story titled,
“ What are the Candidates Hiding?... It explored all the major documents that are sought after, but yet unreleased by the 4 major candidates. Why do you suppose in the part about Obama's unreleased documents, birth certificate was not listed?
Finally, how do you respond to Julie Anne’s comment from Oct 24, 2008, 9:20am EDT?
This Berg guy is a democrat. McCain has NO association with him whatsoever. Obama has had as many (some say more) negative ads about McCain than McCain has had about Obama.
Hey, Julie, here's an idea:
I'm still in college, so I don't really have the opportunity to have a full time career. However, I still need to support myself. I'm going to assume you make $100K a year. Well, since I make about $20k part time, and so do most of my classmates, I think it's only fair to take $50k of your money and spread it around to my classmates and me. Then we can all make close to $50k a year! What an American Dream.
Chris Jackson, your comment "NBC is the official public affairs arm of the Democratic Party in case you haven't noticed" was curious. I hadn't noticed that.
I did notice that NBC is owned by GE, which contributed two-thirds of its 2006 PAC money to Republican candidates. So far in 2008, it's 50-50 Republican and Democrat.
So much for the "liberal" media.
Gee, how does one split $50K amongst all your classmates so that they all have $50K?
Duh.
And gee, who said anyone wanted to do that. Stupid example. Stupid fearful assertion. Goes right along with the crypto-Muslim Indonesian fanatic comment seen above.
Use your brains for good, not for evil.
As you will see, this is a site that republishes litigation records directly from the courts.
It is not disputed that Obama was properly served with the underlying lawsuit. He was also properly served with Requests for Admission. Under the Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, he has thirty days from the date of service to respond in writing to the questions. Failure to respond within 30 days from service means that the matters are admitted conclusively. Obama did not admit or deny or even object to the RFA's within 30 days, therefore, the matter is deemed admitted.
With respect to the "frivolous lawsuit" allegation, Obama certainly has recourse in the Federal Court system if the lawsuit is "frivolous". Here is a link to Rule 11 of the FRCP which governs "frivolous lawsuits": http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/Rule11.htm
If the lawsuit is without merit, then the Judge can dismiss it. If the Court finds that the lawyer was particularly reckless in filing this lawsuit, or that the lawsuit was frivolous, they can sanction him at their discretion. Such sanctions could include Mr. Berg paying the court costs and Obama and the DNC's attorney's fees.
I also would point out to you that Obama has not ignored this lawsuit. He has retained legal counsel in this matter as has the DNC and they have filed Motions on his behalf. I'm quite sure that both he and his lawyers are aware of the consequences of failing to respond to RFA's within 30 days of service. If his lawyers were not aware of that or did not advise him, then Obama will have a heckuva malpractice suit against them if the Judge finds for the Plaintiff.
As an attorney, it will be interesting to see how Obama's atty's attempt to wriggle out from the Rule 36 requirements. Unfortunately, I have been in this exact situation and I have had a Judge give the other side more time to answer RFA's when I could find no basis in the law for them to do so. The point is, it's possible that the judge will make a bad ruling and allow Obama more time to answer the RFA's (maybe until after the election...) even though he really has no authority to do so under the Rules.
There is obviously no precedent for a situation such as that. Your guess is as good as any. In my opinion, what should happen is that the Supreme Court would find that he was disqualified as a matter of law. But the question is, who takes over? Biden? Or McCain? The consequences of this are mind-boggling. That is why this issue MUST be resolved one way or the other prior to the election.
The truth has been stated a dozen times. You just don't want to here it.
FACT--OBAMA has produced a valid birth certificate, and the State of Hawaii has confirmed it is a valid certificate. They get a dozen or so e-mail requests about this EACH DAY I recently read. Hell, you can e-mail them yourself. They will confirm the validity of the certificate posted. They will not violate their own law and give you a copy.
FACT--McCain has never produced a "vault" birth certificate either. It is believed one does not even exist and was lost at some point. No, that doesn't imply that McCain is not a U.S. citizen, it simply to clarify the "McCain did it so why won't Obama" diatribe. No, McCain HAS NOT. Ergo the logic is flawed.
FACT--McCain never answered questions about his eligibility in the courts either. He was sued twice and both times his attorneys fought it UNDER THE SAME GROUNDS as Obama is. Neither candidate has an obligation to answer every wingnuts' conspiracy theory.
IF factcheck says they say, photographed, bla bla bla the birth certificate, then why did the Obama and DNC elite respond to a legal action? Are they above the law or are they making a "fool-proof" forged document. We all know how easily that can be done.
I say, respect the law, give your proof, and be done with it. Anything else begs the question of impropriety.
Therefore Obama presenting a his original birth certificate from Hawaii can only show that he once had a US citizenship, which this case that you directed me to does not deny; so therefore Obama’s birth certificate will not disprove Bergs case.
So why does everybody keep asking, “why don’t Obama just show them the original birth certificate and put an end to the case”? It won’t put an end to the case – in fact, the birth certificate is irrelevant. Am I wrong, Sue?
