Does The Soldier Have Standing In The Court?

There have been many lawsuits regarding Barack Obama and his eligibility to be the president. Most of them have been dismissed with the claim that the person filing the suit had no standing in the court, that is the person could not show how he was directly harmed by Obama not being eligible. I think every American has standing because the president does things that affect us all. The courts see it differently though I think some of it has to do with cowardice. They are afraid what they might find.
A soldier has joined in a lawsuit demanding proof that Obama is eligible. The Certificate of Live Birth he presented was a computer generated form that listed some pieces of the information in the database but it was not his actual Birth Certificate that would show many more things including where he was actually born. Under the laws in Hawaii at the time Obama could have been registered in Hawaii even if he were born elsewhere.
The soldier alleges that Obama is not eligible and therefore is not his leader. Soldiers take an oath to uphold the Constitution and to protect it from all enemies foreign and domestic. They also take an oath to obey the orders of the president. If the soldier believes that Obama is not eligible then it is his duty to raise the question. Doing so upholds the Constitution and protects it. In addition, the soldier needs to know that the orders he is obeying are from a person who is eligible to give them.
I would think that there is no way the court could say that the soldier has no standing. He took an oath, an oath required of him, and his lawsuit is nothing more than fulfillment of that oath. How can the court say the soldier has no standing when the very issue affects every aspect of his professional career?
For me the red flag was raised when Obama spent nearly a million dollars to keep his birth certificate under lock and key. It was even more telling when the guy in charge of birth certificates said that a legal certificate was on file. He did not say that Obama was a citizen and since Hawaii had the funny rules about foreign births being registered there, the statement seemed to say, “yeah we have a legal paper but that is all we have.” He left wiggle room should the thing ever see the light of day.
It is quite telling that Obama’s legal folks are threatening Alan Keyes and filing suit to dismiss his case and to force him to pay the legal fees. This is just as telling as Obama hiding his birth certificate and the non statement of affirmation by the records guru in Hawaii.
I don’t know if Obama is eligible to be the president because he does not want me to know. For a guy who said he would have the most transparent administration in history his acts with regard to his birth certificate have been anything but transparent.
This soldier is doing the right thing. He is upholding his oath.
Obama could end all this by being transparent and spending the $10 it would cost for a certified copy of the birth certificate.
To the soldier I say HOOAH.

Uhm, not to mention the Pakistan trip when Americans couldn’t go there, or the school records which would show foreign aid, or the papers written, or…
I see now where a 2nd soldier has asked to have his name added to the lawsuit. If this were such a non-issue as the left claims, then why not just produce the actual birth certificate? For someone who claims he has nothing to hide, it sure looks like he is trying to hide something. Of course the downside to all this…President Joe Biden.
And as a side note, the stock market was way up yesterday (remember when that used to be the barometer of how our economy was doing according to the Dems when Bush was president?). Obama speaks, and the market takes a nose dive again. I’m begining to wonder if it’s not being done on purpose. If he can’t maintain this “crisis” atmosphere then maybe he and his liberal cronies won’t be able to do everything they want with our money.
Just a thought.
I have one trustworthy hope. The bible says that all evil done in the dark will eventually be brought into the light. Obama may think he is greater than God, but one day will find out he is only a peon with no power to stand against God.
I commend these soldiers and all those taking BO to task. I for one would love to join the suit myself as American who wants to see some proof from a person that I basically employ. The elected officials work for us – we pay for their salaries (among other BS stuff that they should not even receive). I for one want to see all the paperwork for schools, citizenship papers, travel visas. Whatever. It’s no longer a matter of whether he is or is not a citizen to me as much as a matter or principle. How is this man above the laws of our land and the requirements of our Constitution. Shame on him for behaving this way.
We know more about Sarah Palin’s kids than we know about B-HO.
I want to know why he’s no longer a member of the bar.
B-HO…
I like that!
I would happily pay the fee out of my own pocket to see a certified copy of the Anointed One’s Birth Certificate. Earlier this week I had to pay the $15 to get a copy so that I could get my newborn daughter on WIC assistance and I had to present one in order to be able to get a “replacement” Social Security Card for my older daughter as her card never made it to our mailbox. It was simple enough, I went to the County Health Department, waited in line for 5 minutes, filled out a form and presented ID to show that I was the parent and voila! Ten minutes later I had a CERTIFIED COPY of my daughter’s birth certificate! If he were going for “transparency” why does this even have to be seen by the courts? Granted we are all innocent until proven guilty, and behaving in a guilty manner doesn’t mean that he’s guilty of lying to all of us, but it certainly kills any degree of trust in the man. Come on now Mr. President! Give us the document!!!!
