Alan Keyes stokes Obama
birth certificate controversy: Posted on LA Times-On February 20, 2009:

These are pertinent excerpts from this
article:
"The controversy over the validity
of Barack Obama's birth certificate is back on a burner with firebrand
conservative Alan Keyes making serious new charges.
In a video (see below) released Friday
Keyes, who lost to Obama in the 2004 U.S. Senate race in Illinois that launched
the new president's national political career, calls Obama a communist and
usurper and says he refuses to acknowledge the validity of Obama's inauguration
over lingering questions in the minds of many conspiracists about the 44th
president's birth place.
The U.S. Constitution requires any
president be born an American citizen.
In June, the Obama campaign released to
The Ticket a copy of the then-senator's Hawaiian birth certificate, but
stubbornly persistent critics demand to see the original, which the state has
refused to provide, citing personal privacy reasons.
This simmering dispute, occurring online
and in e-mails coursing daily across the Internet, seems unlikely to evaporate
any time soon."
And the critics, including Keyes
explaining here, cite Obama relatives in Kenya as saying he was actually born
there in his father's native land when his American mother was too young to
pass on her U.S. citizenship.
In December, as The Ticket reported here,
the Supreme Court dismissed without comment a New Jersey lawsuit seeking to bar
Obama's inauguration due to questions over his actual citizenship. The Obama
camp has proceeded normally as if there was no controversy.
Obviously, the inauguration proceeded,
although on the advice of White House counsel as a precaution against a verbal
muff during the noontime Jan. 20 public ceremony, Obama did take the
presidential oath again that night in private with Chief Justice John Roberts.
His White House lawyer feared igniting another simmering legal controversy if
there was any doubt about the oath's validity, although the Constitution
stipulates the new president takes office at noon no matter what.
However, the dispute over his birth place
continues. Listen here to Keyes' rather strong language:
Alan Keyes: Stop Obama or
U.S. will cease to exist!!!!:

"We the People of the United States
of America" are entitled to know the legal qualifications of the President
and Commander in Chief. For the
better good and National Security of "We the People of the United
States" and for Absolute Command of the Military Forces of the United
States, I whole heartedly support the efforts of Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ for taking
legal action to determine whether or not Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry
Soetoro, Citizen of Indonesia and possibly citizen of Kenya, is eligible to
become President of the United States and Commander in Chief of the United
States Armed Forces."
