If Obama is indeed a naturally born U.S. citizen as he claims, then he needs to provide the proof. How difficult could it be for him to cough up a documents which supports his claim if he is indeed telling the truth? — His actions (or should I say “his in-actions”) are only feeding doubt that he is eligible to be president and that his candidacy is even constitutional.
When I first heared about these claims, I dismissed them as bullshit, but now that I see Obama is resisting anyone who tells him to cough up a document that says “I am able to un for president” I now have serious doubts that he is.

From ISRAPUNDIT,
The Obama campaign failed to cover its tracks before it asserted that,
Barack Obama Never Organized with ACORN.
Barack Obama Never Organized with ACORN
Discredited Republican voter-suppression guru Ken Blackwell is attacking Barack Obama with naked lies about his supposed connection to ACORN.
• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN community organizer.
• Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee.
• Fact: ACORN was not part of Project Vote, the successful voter registration drive Barack ran in 1992.Note Fight the Smears’ very careful choice of words: “ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee.” It is a matter of proven record, though–and according to ACORN–that Obama provided training services for its members.

As Sen. Obama puts it, how did a skinny kid with a funny name become the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, with 53% of the statewide Democratic vote in a seven-person field?
Obama started building the base years before. For instance, ACORN noticed him when he was organizing on the far south side of the city with the Developing Communities Project. He was a very good organizer. When he returned from law school, we asked him to help us with a lawsuit to challenge the state of Illinois’ refusal to abide by the National Voting Rights Act, also known as motor voter. …
Since then, we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus, it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for State Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends. And along about early March, we started to see that the African-American community had made its move: when Sen. Obama’s name was mentioned at our Southside Summit meeting with 700 people in attendance from three southside communities, the crowd went crazy.
…Toni Foulkes is a Chicago ACORN leader and a member of ACORN’s National Association Board.
Now, Barry, do you want to tell us again about how you “never organized with ACORN?”

IT now turns out that many Obama supporters in my.barackobama.com are now having second thoughts about their candidate of change.
Many of the pages of the Obama supporters that are now having doubts are now being deleted, but fortunately Google has cached them. — But the fact that Obama is censuring them is proof that he tolerates no criticism from anyone, meaning, as I have been saying, he has the makings of a dictator.
Here are what they are saying:
We have little doubt that the people who posted these entries will soon have their My.BarackObama.com accounts disabled by Obama’s moderators (and at least one did), in which case we are delighted to welcome them to PUMA or the GOP, whichever they prefer. Since their pages will doubtlessly be taken down as well, we will include the Google caches for reference. What we are looking at is what organizational science calls “loss of commitment,” and its result is total organizational disaster. The original “Say it ain’t so” is, incidentally, from the 1919 Chicago “Black Sox” scandal.

ACORN
By Lindsay – Oct 9th, 2008 at 7:37 pm EDTThis ACORN stuff is really really bad. As a voter, I really need to know that Obama wasn’t funding an organization that willingly engaged in voter fraud.
This could be a game changer for me.

OBAMA LIES ABOUT ACORN

Comments | Mail to a Friend | Report Objectionable ContentThis is what Obama said to ACORN, at a November, 2007 speech, according to Newsmax:
“I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”

I have been a devoted supporter of Barack Obama since I saw him speak at the 2004 Democratic Convention, for which I was a delegate, but I am very disappointed by the campaign’s response thus far. If Barack does not strongly denounce some of the tactics of ACORN, and call for an IMMEDIATE investigation, I fear that voters (many of whom are already angry at all politicians) will lose faith in Barack. Given that such faith in Senator Obama is crucial to his “brand,” this could represent a serious threat to our campaign. I must confess that this episode represents the first time my faith in Barack has been tested. Such faith of Americans in Barack is not only crucial to the campaign, but also in any hopes we have for his successful presidency.Sincerely,

His ties to the pastor who said those awful things about America, his connection to a terrorist who bombed the Pentagon, now Acorn is registering people to vote who don’t exist. Does this sound like a president to you? I’m really worried about America’s future.ACORN and Voter Fraud
By Robert from Mableton, GA – Oct 9th, 2008 at 8:42 pm EDT
Comments | Mail to a Friend | Report Objectionable ContentI think it is very important for Barack Obama to address this issue before it gets out-of-control. If Obama has paid them to register voters and if ACORN has been shown to do illegal things this could blow up in the campaigns face. I would strongly suggest that the campaign does not dodge this issue. If ACORN is doing illegal things, Obama should get out from underneath it.

Comments | Mail to a Friend | Report Objectionable Content Tags: disappointmentThere is so much talk within this campaign, by Biden, Obama and supporters, about the lies and comments coming from the McCain campaign regarding Ayres and Acorn. I have investigated both topics, and at this point have been unable to identify any lies out of the McCain camp. Indeed, there is a great deal of information tying Obama to Ayres, and to the corrupt company Acorn. Today the FBI announced raids on many Acorn offices – within Obama’s target states. Since Obama has paid that company $800,000 to hire Acorn to register people in these same states, what are we to think about the connection between Obama and Acorn? What are we to think about the ‘increases’ in registration, when Directors of Elections in various states, and the FBI report hundreds of thousands false forms having been filed by Acorn (and they have been shown on the news).
We now have the problem of questioning 1) voter registration and actual voting in these states; 2) Obama’s responses to criticism. And if we have to question all of that, then how can we take at face value anything this ticket says?
For my part, I feel very let down. I feel a total lack of trust in this team, and in what has been voiced in the various sound bites and rhetoric. Let’s face it – it looks BAD that the company this campaign hired at a large sum of money (the same company Obama worked for over years, including doing their training), the same company that has been under investigation and lawsuits for over 10 years, is now under seige of the FBI for fraud. This looks bad, and frankly it smacks of desperation and a determination to do anything, no matter the cost, to get elected.
This is a campaign of change? From what? to What? This sounds like Chicago politics as usual.
ACORN MAJOR PROBLEM – URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments | Mail to a Friend | Report Objectionable ContentObama campaign – you have a real situation on your hands w/ this Acorn dilema. Who cares about Wright and Ayers, but FRAUD, this is huge. Your entire campaign has centered around trust and change and this could completely tarnish your reputation. You, Obama, need to get on TV RIGHT NOW and explain the situation. This cannot linger in hopes of it dying down and it needs to be addressed before the McCain camp attacks. I would suggest you telling the American people, that you are appalled and don’t condone this activity and that you will put up you own money (personal or campaign) to ensure that no this situation is fixed. You must explain what is going on and separate yourself from this activity……NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jennifer, let us introduce you to the underside of Obama’s bus, where your MyBO account will soon go–but don’t worry, you will find plenty of good company
In other words, “Say it ain’t so, Barry.”

It’s so sad that this guy may be the next president as well as the first Socialist in the White House.
From WorldNetDaily,
A television commercial showing clips of Sen. Barack Obama mocking the Bible has prompted backlash from the candidate’s “Fight the Smears” website, which falsely accuses the ad’s creator of trying to scam Christians out of their money by promising to air a spot that will never be broadcast.
Under the heading “Scamming the faithful,” Obama’s official website says of the man who made the commercial, “The trickster’s claims about Barack’s faith are every bit as false as his claims that this amateurish video is really a TV ad.”
WND has confirmed, however, that – true to his word – the ad’s creator purchased air time for the commercial on television stations in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. Sources at WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh and a cable company servicing Erie told WND that the ad had been aired on several occasions.
Nonetheless, in an Oct. 3 update to “Scamming the Faithful,” the Obama website maintains its attack of the commercial’s creator, Stephen Marks of the organization pH for America.
“Nothing has changed here,” reads the Oct. 3 update, “The scammer is still untrustworthy. … Making scams seem plausible is what tricksters like him are known for. In the end, he’s even less credible now than he was when he first started taking people’s money.”
“It is ironic indeed,” responded Marks in a statement, “that this so-called ‘Fight the Smears’ website (is) not fighting smears but creating them.”
Marks insists that every dollar he has raised through his website and the appeal for support at the end of the ad “has gone to pay for the media buys and minimal production costs.” Marks also claims that that pH for America purchased a television as a gift for the Obama campaign “so they can watch the TV and see the ads airing for themselves.”
Marks told WND, “If this ad is seen by all the swing voters in all the key swing states, it would not only anger anyone who reads the Bible, but will make anyone who sees the ad re-think the Jeremiah Wright fiasco as well as Obama’s remarks in April that ’small town America’ is so bitter that they have to ‘cling to their guns and religion.’
“Most Americans have thus far given Obama a pass on those two issues, but after seeing our ad, it will make many, if not most folks think, ‘Now I finally understand why Obama would belong to such a radical church,’ and ‘Now I finally understand Obama’s true contempt for people of faith regarding his ‘cling to their guns and religion’ remark,” Marks said.
Obama’s website claims that Marks deliberately edited clips of the candidate to make Obama look bad and that the commercials don’t reflect the nature of the speech from which they were taken.
“With such a deceptive person behind this video, it’s not surprising that everything he says about Barack is deeply dishonest and wrong, too,” says the “Fight the Smears” website. “The video takes 5 sentences out of a 4,500-word speech Barack gave in 2006 completely out of context to stoke division and hatred.”
The commercial features edited clips from a speech Sen. Obama made before a conference in Washington, D.C., June 28, 2006. The entire transcript of the speech can be seen here, but the immediate context is as follows:
Whatever we once were, we are no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.
And even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools? Would we go with James Dobson’s, or Al Sharpton’s? Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is ok and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount – a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application? So before we get carried away, let’s read our Bibles. Folks haven’t been reading their Bibles.
The group pH for America is a 527 organization – so named for the IRS designation for such groups – created by Marks, a Republican political consultant who also created advertisements criticizing 2004 Democrat candidate John Kerry. The group’s website boasts it “is hoping to become the ‘Swiftboat’ 527 organization of 2008,” referencing the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a 527 organization that created commercials widely credited with contributing to Kerry’s defeat.
Evan Tracey, chief operating officer of Campaign Media Analysis Group, told CNN the appeal for money at the end of the pH for America advertisement, rather than an indication of “scamming” or “tricking” people, is common for 527 organizations trying to impress donors.
“Even though an ad buy might be small now, remember, these groups are auditioning right now for late donations to take these ads to a larger scope,” Tracey said. “Remember, the Swift Boat original ad buy was less than $1 million and ran in only a handful of small media markets.”
Marks echoed that strategy in a release announcing the successful purchase of air time for his group’s commercial.
“Unlike other 527 groups who are funded by millionaires, ours has been funded by grass-roots blue-collar voters offended by the side of Barack Obama they see in our ad,” Marks said. “We hope that as more folks see the ad, that we will eventually get help from more affluent contributors.”
