VERY QUIETLY OBAMA’S CITIZENSHIP CASE REACHES THE
SUPREME COURT
AP – WASHINGTON
D.C. –
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 school indicates
that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign
student from Indonesia as an undergraduate. 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 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…
