Are "birthers" ready to put President Obama's citizenship behind them?

    Emails have been spread around claiming that a Federal Court in California will be meeting tomorrow (1/26/2010) to determine if President Obama is qualified as a natural born American citizen to hold Executive office..

    This case was, of course, dismissed on October 29th of last year.

    This has not deterred people, some of which are my own family members, from believing firmly that 1) the case will be on the record tomorrow and 2) Obama is not a citizen.

    When tomorrow passes and no court session convened...will "birthers" go away?

      last time I checked, there were over 18 open, pending, and appealed court cases against Obama's presidency...

      I think there are valid points to the cases...if he has nothing to hide, why not just present the asked for documentation, and other proofs asked for...why is he spending millions to keep it all "covered up"?

        He has produced the documentation.  The State of Hawaii has produced the documentaiton.  THe birthers refuse to believe it.

      The first thing you have to do in order to run for president is prove your citizenship. Put the tired rumors to rest.

    It seems as though more people are working to undermine him than help him out.

    Remember, this is a democracy, right?  If the people, or many of them, aren't working for benefit there isn't much one man can do.......  Perhaps you would like to see what the maquilas in Mexico are like and wonder why they are there???

    I haven't seen a Prsident undergo so much scrutiny in his first years since Clinton...but this time it's far worse...

    At least the Supreme Court Justice Obama appointed, Sotomayor, voted on the right side in the recent case regarding campaign finance....

    This type of thinking, actually, has more in line with Nixon, Bush, and Cheney....  Bush himself filled 35 'czar' positions...while nominating for over 40...

    Many Americans believed that OBAMA could fix many of the issues that were given to him over-nite unfortunately many of us needed a reality check including myself. It takes time to re-build a nation it did not fall apart over-nite hence it cannot be fixed in a few months or even a few years. It will take our Country years after OBAMA is out of the White House to correct so many issues. Many of us have forgotten that BUSH started the mess and passed it on to OBAMA. OBAMA has made promises that is correct, but with all of the mess that was handed to him and a limited budget because our Country was already in the RED he has to figure out something. Many of us should be the solution and not the problem, let us ask ourselves, " If we were President, what would we have done differently?"

      Yes, the fact that he threw so many balls in the air at once is his biggest fault. In the other hand, when the house is on fire, you can't concentrate only on saving the livingroom because that is where you have your art collection.

      He had little choice, eccept for the healthcare that could have waited another 6 months or so. Having a plan bill is not enough, we need a good and fair one. Because of the rush, now democrats have to start allover again. How is that better than coming up with a decent plan in the first place?

      As for C-Span, that would have been great and Nebraska would not have happened.

    Everyone saw except those who didn't want to see...there was a video clip released last year where Republicans congressmen who claimed to their constituents and other groups about doubting Obama's citizenship were then confronted on the street with video camera's and a man asking (nicely) if they would go on the record and say that the President was not a citizen...

    Several ran down the street, away from the cameras....a few gave ambiguous answers, but would not deny that they had seen the birth certificate....one, and only one, of the many questioned stated anything clearly...one man of congress who said that the President is the Commander in Chief, and is a natural born citizen...

    I am looking all over the net for it...but I can't find it anymore....

      A few that come to mind would be the endless wars that are bankrupting the country and making some people very rich, the heathcare debacle that does nothing to reduce the expenses because of the healtcare industries lobbying, the loss of jobs while the president espouses more government intiatives to create more jobs, the mess that the public school system is in and the continuing fall in world educational competitiveness, the whole lobbying congress and bought elections...etc.

    I just wanted to jump in for a second. 

    The reason for our current recession is, basically, a credit crunch caused by poor investment decisions and massive losses on the part of many banks.  You could argue about the roots of this, but the basic cause remains.  Banks stopped lending because there had been too many years of easy money, and the money was suddenly disappearing.

    Now, as much as I hate the fact that the money went to Wall Street moguls and not to average Americans who were losing their jobs and homes, I want you to imagine something with me.

    Imagine that you work for a corporation.  Most of you do. 

    Imagine that your corporation goes to the bank this month, to get the loan they get every month - the one they use to buy inventory and/or make payroll. 

    Despite the fact that your employer has been getting this loan every month for the past 10 years, the bank refuses.  The bank is overleveraged in too many different places and is losing the equivalent of your salary every few seconds. 

    So.

    This month, your employer cannot buy inventory, and/or cannot make payroll.  What happens next?

    That was the situation we were in around October 2008. 

    If there had been no bailout, unemployment would be unimaginable.  This current recession would look like an extended spring break in the Bahamas. 

    Americas economy is like an alcoholic who has been smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day for 40 years.  We basically just woke up in the emergency room.  In a situation like that, you can't just quit drinking and smoking and suddenly expect to be better the next day.

      No, most people do not work for corporations, they work for small businesses that do not go to bank once a month for a loan! The rest of what you said came from a very vivid imagination.

        Small businesses are corporations too, unless they are a sole proprietorship, which means that no one except the owner works there.

              I work for a small business, a corporation.  We do not borrow money either.  I also work part time for another small corporation that is in debt up to its eyeballs. 

              You can't generalize from any one case. 

              However, my original point was that the bailout was intended to restart the commercial paper market, which is exactly what I described in my post:

            I'll look at your link.

    Arthur...how about the opinion of the presiding judge in the recently dismissed case:

    "This Court exercised extreme patience when Taitz endangered this case being heard at all by failing to properly file and serve the complaint upon Defendants and held multiple hearings to ensure that the case would not be dismissed on the technicality of failure to effect service.


    While the original complaint in this matter was filed on January 20, 2009, Defendants were not properly served until August 25, 2009. Taitz successfully served Defendants only after the Court intervened on several occasions and requested that defense counsel make significant accommodations for her to effect service. Taitz also continually refused to comply with court rules and procedure. Taitz even asked this Court to recuse Magistrate Judge Arthur Nakazato on the basis that he required her to comply with the Local Rules. See Order Denying Pls.’ Mot. For Modification of Mag. J. Nakazato’s Aug. 6, 2009, Order; Denying Pls.’ Mot. to Recuse Mag. J. Nakazato; and Granting Ex Parte App. for Order Vacating Voluntary Dismissal (Sep. 8, 2009).


    Taitz also attempted to dismiss two of her clients against their wishes because she did not want to work with their new counsel. See id.


    Taitz encouraged her supporters to contact this Court, both via letters and phone calls. It was improper and unethical for her as an attorney to encourage her supporters to attempt to influence this Court's decision. Despite these attempts to manipulate this Court, the Court has not considered any outside pleas to influence the Court's decision.


    Additionally, the Court has received several sworn affidavits that Taitz asked potential witnesses that she planned to call before this Court to perjure themselves. This Court is deeply concerned that Taitz may have suborned perjury through witnesses she intended to bring before this Court.


    While the Court seeks to ensure that all interested parties have had the opportunity to be heard, the Court cannot condone the conduct of Plaintiffs’ counsel in her efforts to influence this Court."


    Those are the words of Federal Judge/former U.S. Marine David Carter presiding in his official opinion..

    In California, the most people are employed by the government...through county/city/state/and federal branches....and California is the breadbasket of the nation...


    You cut government you cut jobs...there are no other jobs around....

    small businesses here struggle....and Sam's Club throws tons of perfectly good food away every night....and lock up their bins...

      California is a welfare state unable to control there spending, it doesn't surprise me the biggest employer is government. California should serve as a lesson for how not to run a state.

    The bigger question is Obama guilty of treason?

    No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

    We have a UN Ambassador but in his narcissism Obama felt he was elected president of the world and sat himself as head of the UN security council.

    Does he have permission from Congress?

    The man (men...cheney too...even more so) who planted the seeds for this current time, sit out in luxury and Obama is the traitor....

    What are people smoking?

    Eagle...the U.S. has a legacy regarding "citizenship" that few Americans even understand...

    In terms of ignorant people (self-ignorance more so) the U.S. citizenry takes the cake....we win that race...

    is war profiteering....and the manipulation of a nation into an unjustifiably war not treasonous??

    Oh wait....the U.S. has done it over and over again....

    The "Indian" threat....lets take a look at Wounded Knee...and all the actions before and most since by the United States that have caused harm that can almost never be recovered from...

    The "attack on American soil" that sparked the Mexican American War was entirely fraudulent...

    The Spanish American War.......

    Vietnam......

    and a great many Americans are too busy/brainwashed/entrenched in false-pride to know the truth or to think to really seek it out...

    Money is made....resources acquired....egos stroked.....and common Americans defend the atrocities of the elite, as if they are going to get something for their unbending loyalty....

    Socialist California?? The state built by private enterprise???  The wealth generating subdivisions of physical-social and political selves has needed a lot of maintenance that its envisioners didn't care to check in to..

    They got the government funds (illegally at that to a large extent), built it up...peopled it, and took off....leaving the residents behind to clean up after them...

    You want to see an example of a city run by business?? come down to the City of Industry....I'll show you around...  check it out on Google Earth....  look at it...try to imagine what the residents there have to deal with..

    We can sit and talk all day about different countries past idiocy,if you think the US is the great evil empire then do something about it. Obama is not changing anything about anything, he is a one term President and the Democrats have backed the biggest mistake since Jimmy Carter.
