Dear Mr. President: You’re A Fraud
JULY 14, 2009 — U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, set to deploy to Afghanistan, says he shouldn’t have to go. His reason? Barack Obama was never eligible to be president because he wasn’t born in the United States.
Back in the day (June 2008), this argument rumor caused quite a stir for the soon to be president. Fortunately for him and the rest of the country, the record was set straight—multiple times. After a few ignorant citizens ignored the facts and took the issue to the courts, the record was set straight—again. In fact, the Supreme Court even decided flat out not to hear that case (Ironically, if one remembers, that particular case claimed both Obama and McCain were ineligible for the presidency). Now it looks as though we will be re-examinig the entire issue.
Supporters of a case that disputes the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency claimed a small victory today when U.S. District Judge David O. Carter told them to fix their paperwork and that he would listen to “the merits” of their case.
Why? I don’t know. However, I am hopeful that the judge involved is merely doing the plaintiff a solid, and hearing them out. Although, I don’t see how the judge could possibly examine the case based on how many courts have already heard the issue. As you’ve already seen here, this wouldn’t be the first time the courts have wasted their time in looking for the facts on Obama’s citizenship. Another round, anyone?
Update: In case anyone was wondering, I did a little research on the number of the cases that have been filed regarding this issue. I have found twenty-one (21) separate cases, thirteen (13) of which were either denied or dismissed, and the rest (8) which concluded with no outcome (except one case where the judge threatened to assess all case costs against the plaintiff). More cases exist that I have not specifically read. My advice? Move on, disgruntled voters.
