Has Barack Obama (legalistically) admitted his COLB is a forgery and he's not a U.S. citizen?

I tend to be very doubtful of this, but I'm linking it here anyway just in case it turns out that Obama has fled the U.S. tomorrow. According to Philip Berg - he of the lawsuit challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to run for president - the defendents (BHO and the DNC) only had 30 days to respond to Berg's laundry list of admissions, which includes various things that would make BHO ineligible to run for president.

However, the BHO campaign has apparently not responded within the 30 days required by Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (link). That rule says it must be done "within 30 days after being served", and thus the question becomes when they were served. It was definitely before October 6, since that's when they acknowledged that they'd been served, however, it might have been as early as September 15 and thus more than 30 days ago.

On the 21st, Berg is going to take further action to press this forward. Whether the BHO campaign will respond with a loophole, a reasonable objection, or by fleeing the country isn't known.

In the case of the latter, consider this post an endorsement of emergency replacement presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

10/21/08 UPDATE: Darn, nothing happened. But, anyway, maybe this will work out later. However, today the FEC filed a Motion to Dismiss, claiming that Berg doesn't have standing and asking not to be a party to the suit. Berg claims he's already established standing. Once again: instead of engaging in technical battles, why doesn't the Obama campaign simply release his records? Most of the demands are completely reasonable. What is he trying to hide?

Youre right about one thing: Admissions are deemed admitted under FRCP 36 if responses are not served within 30 days, but there may be an extension of time agreed to between the lawyers we do not know about.

I also think the speculation that he is going to Hawaii to destroy documents is a pretty persuasive one. We will never know.

Hawaii-gate? Darn. Seems there are no more investigative journalists these days. Someone who could help us find a plumber. PB, I think you're right. I can't recall any politician since Nixon who stonewalled so hard over such simple and reasonable requests. Big O is demonstrating bad faith toward the American People, fighting over every document related to his past. Not very promising acts coming from a candidate who says he will deliver a transparent, open and ethical government.

It is curious that he suddenly has to go to Hawaii??? Very interesting!

Because, you know, Obama couldn't just send somebody to Hawaii to do his dirty work. He has to suspend the campaign and go destroy some documents in person. Yeah.

No idea. It's interesting though. _Because, you know, Obama couldn't just send somebody to Hawaii to do his dirty work._ Then he'd have to kill them later. _Yeah._

There is another lawsuit in Washington over the same issue: http://www.thebulletin.us/site/index.cfm?newsid=20172909&BRD=2737&PAG=461&dept_id=576361&rfi=8 And you are right. There is a reason they are not producing an original birth certificate. They are hiding something.

yes mary to remove his grand mother from earth!
