Obama Refuses to Answer Birth Certificate Lawsuit

A Pennsylvania lawsuit alleging that Barack Obama is not a “natural-born citizen” of the United States took an unusual twist this week, after a federally mandated deadline requiring Obama’s lawyers to produce a “vault” copy of his birth certificate expired with no response from Obama or his lawyers.
The lawsuit, filed by former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General Philip J. Berg — a self-avowed supporter of Hillary Clinton — alleges that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and is thus “ineligible” to run for president of the United States. It demands that Obama’s lawyers produce a copy of his original birth certificate to prove that he is a natural-born U.S. citizen.
Berg's suit and allegations have set off a wave of Internet buzz and rumors, though Obama could easily have put the matter to rest by providing the federal court with the basic documentation proving he is eligible to take the oath of a president. But Obama has apparently decided to deny the court and the public that documentation.
The Constitution provides that any U.S. citizen is eligible to become president if the person is 35 years of age or older and is a natural-born citizen; that is, born in the territorial United States.
By failing to respond to the Request for Admissions and Request for the Production of Documents within 30 days, Obama has “admitted” that he was born in Kenya, Berg stated this week in new court filings.
Berg released a long list of “admissions” he submitted to Obama’s lawyers on Sept. 15, and asked that they produce documents relating to Obama’s place of birth and citizenship.
Instead of responding, lawyers for Obama and the DNC asked the court to dismiss the case. But Judge R. Barclay Surrick of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has issued no ruling in the case that would have given Obama’s lawyers more time.
“There are lots of legal ways to stonewall,” a well-placed Republican attorney told Newsmax, who was not authorized to comment officially on the case. “But failing to respond is not one of them.”

Man you are dumb, you can be a citizen of the US without being a natural born citizen.
Plus Obama's mother was an american, which means that even if Obama was born outside of the US, he would still be a natural born citizen.
Just check your ******* facts for **** sake.
That lawsuit is just yet another desperate attempt to distract the Obama campaign, and his camp did the right thing by not responding to sent this complaint into bureaucracy hell.

No, humanitarian relief is our accountability and accountability as stable electorate of the planet to North usa's poorest us of a, noticeably being North usa's and nevertheless the international wealthiest us of a! temporary amnesty is in basic terms a organic part of that help! As a James Carville imitator stated on SNL not too some time past, "Republicans are like fat females in a milkshake save...continuously grasping for straws!"

I'm sorry, but you do realize that Obama is a proven natural-born citizen, right? You heard that the desperate attempts to prove otherwise are laughable, right?

Why is the RNC or McCain not filing a law suit about this? Because they know that he was born in America.

Yes Obama is from Mars. But you know what. Obama's mother is a U.S citizen which makes Obama a U.S. Citizen from birth.

He's not in Hawaii to see grandma. And, if grandma is so sick, why is she not in the hospital? Held up in her home, huh?
