Hey liberals please explain away this tidbit about Barry's education ! Whea ! he is a real American !?
Hey liberals please explain away this tidbit about Barry's education ! Whea ! he is a real American !?
This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro. Name: Barry Soetoro Religion: Islam Nationality: Indonesian How did this little INDONESIAN Muslim child - Barry Soetoro, (A.K.A. Barack Obama) get around the issue of nationality to become President of the United States of America ? PART 2: In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College ... The transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia while an undergraduate at the school.. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify for this scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document provides the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking - that he is NOT a natural-born citizen of the United States - necessary to be President of the United States . Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya , here we see that there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship.. Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still on-going but that the final report will be provided to the U.S.. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused comment on this matter. Sorry I couldn't include the copy of the actual document and the picture of the happy family ! I do have it in my emails if anyone wants to really see it ! keep it in my head it is partof a court action it is public record now ! Try to igonre ! It isn't going away! mumtuz why are you here , you use that answer for every real question on here ! too hot in the kitchen for you ? tribeca oh please this is how he went to college ! It has been releasedas a court document under orders from the court ! Can liberal not read or they just won't this is a court ordered release of his records !

9 :
Please post any links you have. Or email me.... same as my YA name. I had heard Obama sealed all his educational records. Where did you hear Occidental College actually released them? I had heard rumors early last year that Obama had applied as a foreign student there. What a lot of people don't realize is this: even if there is no proof that Obama was born in Kenya, that still doesn't put him in the clear. His mother married Mr. Soetero in Indonesia, and according to some, he adopted "Barry". Indonesia does NOT allow for dual citizenship, so by being adopted he renounced any claim to American citizenship. Also his mother was not yet 19 when she gave birth and the 1940 U.S. Immigration & Naturalization Act is clear about this: she cannot automatically pass on citizenship. Another little interesting tidbit is that there is no record of Obama having a U.S. passport before he got into the Illinois Legislature. However, by his own accounts he had travelled.... to Pakistan and other places. Interestingly, there was a high level travel alert about Pakistan for Americans. While I do not believe the State Department was actually forbidding Americans from travelling there (1980/1981), it is interesting that Obama seems to have had no problems, probably because he was travelling on an INDONESIAN passport.

THAT is a scarier picture than the current one of Jimmy Carter 2.0 on steroids scenario being played out for the comic delight of the entire planet!!!

Part 1: If a minor is born in the USA, and is then taken abroad, that minor child cannot lose American citizenship, nor can the legal guardian take it away. An overt act must be made at age 21 to actually reject conferred citizenship. For Obama, the key date would be August 1, 1982. The records were never released by Occidental College for Part 2. But even if they were, again note the age: before age 21. Because of that little tidbit, that should render the rest of the argument irrelevant. Anyone attempting to use that as a smoking gun would be shot down, because that was for his age 18 and age 19 years. As for natural-born citizen, that has never been defined.

Obama is not an American or is a Criminal?
In a document released April 2009 under court order from Occidental Collage. A student 'Barry Soetoro' applied for student aid as a foreign student from Indonesia. Based on documentation provided to the school, 'Barry Soetoro' was awarded a Fellowship form the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship Program. To qualify for this funding, a student must provide documentation that they are a foreign student! Barry Soetoro and Barock Obama are one and the same. This indicates that either Obama is not an American Citizen or that he committedd 'grand larceny' and is a criminal! Take your pick, either way he is noteligiblee to be President of the United States!

Interestingly, the Hawaii Dept. of Education supposedly "lost" Obama's kindergarten records. What's the importance of that? From last website below: "This is an important feature because Kindergarten records for original school entry would have contained the following: 1. Obama's REAL Birth Certificate. 2. An application with the following: • His Legal name. • Parents or Legal Guardians’ names. • Date of Birth • Place of Birth • Vaccination Records (revealing a timeline to the place and DOB.) It also is important for two additional reasons: A. The Department of Education does not "lose" the records of one particular student. (So, who paid whom what sum to make this record disappear?) B. There would have been NO shameful low-test scores, NO embarrassing Equal Opportunity advancements, and NO trails of fraudulent funding to hide that could possibly "excuse" the quashing of public school Kindergarten entry records. For the rest of his life he attended very expensive private schools and has had his records legally sealed to deny the public his true life story. This is different. Hawaii should be able to verify he attended their school since he is featured in class photographs. State and federal tax dollars paid for his initial year of education. Why is there no documentation? This is the beginning of an intentionally erased life of a fraud and conman and it reeks of complicity by officials within the State of Hawaii’s Dept. of Health and Dept. of Education." . . . . P.S.

I am really surprised - parents in America let their kids be left-handed?
I am really surprised - parents in America let their kids be left-handed?
I was born in 1987 and lived in Indonesia for the first 17+ yrs of my life. I am now 19 & have been in usa for 1 yr. In my grade level in Indonesia, out of 120 students, 3 were left-handed and I remember the PE teacher saying 3 left-handers out of 120 is more than average. I knew one of the left-handers quite well and she told me her mum used to hit her left hand with a ruler but she never became right-handed. Out of about a hundred ppl I knew from my school in Indonesia, she was the only left-hander. I came to usa last year and have made quite a lot of friends since then. I notice about 15% of my friends are left-handed, most of them being caucasian girls. Out of about 10 of those I asked whether their parents tried to switch them, only 1 said yes. I was really shocked that american parents let their kids be left-handed. I have always thought left-handed is a bad habit like thumb-sucking that parents have to try to refrain their kids from doing. I guess I am backward?

Welcome to the U.S., WE do things different here, if you're left handed it's ok, remember, if the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, does that mean left handed people are in there right mind ?
4 :
Left handers think with the right side of their brain. Lefty. fact. I AM
5 :
Its a trait, like having freckles or a big nose. Beating a kid won't change that, or at least it shouldn't. Its about which hand is dominant. That is the best hand for writing with. And most left handed children have a left handed parent or grandparent. Being a lefty is nothing to feel shame about. Its just part of them! I hate when people pick on kids for stupid stuff.
6 :
There is no "letting" them be left or right handed. It is dictated by their brain. They naturally use their dominate hand and if you try to change it, it can really mess them up. I guess your culture just views it differently. Here, it's acceptable to be either left or right handed. I've read studies that say left handed people tend to have higher IQ's. Unfortunately, me and all of my children and right handed!
7 :
Well that's something I didn't know. No your not backward its just what was normal for you guys. if your right handed you don't get that pencil smudge though and here we don't really care as long as one of them works you're good
8 :
I was not forced to use my right hand but I use both my right and left hands to write. It's not a bad habit. It's not a bad thing to be right or left handed here. It just takes some getting used to. My handwriting is neater with my left hand than my right but I use both. It's not a habit some people just sometimes write better with one hand than the other. It also has to do with the side of the brain a person uses.
9 :
What difference does it make if someone is left or right handed. As long as the job is done who should care. That's the way GOD made them so shall it be. That's like England driving on the other side of the road unlike the rest of the world, so what , it works for them so who should care. Being different is cool.
10 :
im left handed its not bad i mean its really hard to use the other hand...why dont u try to use ur left hand for everything for 1 day
11 :
my mother used to hit me on my left hand every time i used it to eat or write, so i was forced to be right handed. i hated her for that and still have a resentment over that (the hitting). about 10 years ago i decided to really use my left hand. surprising things are: i picked up writing with my left immediately, my left hand writing is almost the identical as my right hand writing, i draw better with my left than my right. i do have to admit that i really enjoy being ambidextrous. i do have that to thank my mother for that.
12 :
when you try and control a person's way of writting you are tryig to rewire their brain this is extreamly unhealthy. Many studies were done and have proven that this method of trying to switch lefties to righties is not good!!! Because Lefties use their right side of their brain they are very good problemsolvers. I am a lefty it is very difficult to live in a world that has basically made for right handed people but I have adjusted nicely with no ill affects. In the U.S.A. diversity is what this country was built on enjoy it, embrace it, and learn from it. Welcome to America, I hope your stay is a pleasant one.

I am almost 60, and I remember people who were old when I was young talking about how they were smacked until they used their right hand. They also UNIFORMLY said that they would never do that to a child. I was left-handed, and none of my teachers, nor my parents or grandparents, ever tried to bully me to change. It was not made much of at all. "Southpaw" was as much as they ever bothered to tease me about, and I didn't have any reason to mind that. But the old Victorian ladies told us about how, when they were young, people were cruel to their children, and beat them to make them right-handed. We were glad to live in better times, and that was the end of the discussion. No big deal. Now, at my age, I hear that there are still places where this cruel custom is continued. I am saddened. I didn't know. Do we need a left-hander's Liberation Front?
14 :
forcing a child to change what has come naturally to them is an extremely old school way of thinking. I am surprised that people still do it & that people find it abnormal that parents dont force their kids into switching. Its not just America, most of the world is now treating their kids as humans not tools...most of it not all.

Look I am a right hander and my bestestesteset friend in the whole isaleft handerr! You know what when you go to the store everyday and want to buy a soda the clerk will let you swipe you're card even if are a left hander. Now for the parents part that is just stuipd and wrong. Parents should love their children no matter what they look like or habbits they might have. A daughter may be addicted to guys but the mother doesn't stop loving her. So really I have no comment on why a mother should hurt there kids just cause there left handed. So yeah you are backwords to think such things. Now I dont know how it was in Indonesia but here we dont judge people by there color,shape, size and abblity (Well not everyone)!!!!!

Years ago, back in the 1930s and '40's, teachers were (mis)led to believe that everyone should be right-handed so the kids would be using their brains "like normal people" do. Medical professionals have since determined that there is absolutely NO proof that "leftys" have any disadvantage intellectually from anyone who is right-handed. Now, keep in mind that in many Middle Eastern countries, nearly EVERYONE is right-handed for a reason: People do everything with their right hand, especially eat. The left hand is ONLY to be used for using toilet paper. That is why when people get caught shoplifting, their RIGHT hand is removed, therefore forcing them to eat with the same hand they must wipe their ass with. This is considered to be a "disgrace". Most civilized countries don't follow this tradition.

What do you mean,, now-a-days if kids are left handed then way in the world would you want to change that. I have never read anything like this before,
18 :
No just not caught up with the times, up until the 1980's parents mostly were told to train their left handed children to be righty's but those who were born left handed and forced to switch always had worse handwriting, difficult keeping up in classes and other problems so it slowly changed to not try to change them. My son used both hands until he was 7 and I still can write with both but I am predominately right handed, but my son still does somethings with his right and some with his left. The doctors thought he would eventually choose one over the other but never has. Good luck & hope this helped.

That's a primitive attitude. In some countries it has to do with cleanliness--you only greet people and eat with your right hand because you wipe your butt with your left. If you're going to choose a hand for that reason, it's easier to go with the one 85% of the people use naturally. In societies using hand weapons, it's easier to fight with the 85% who use the same hand that you do. You don't have as much chance to practice for the other 15%, and that can be a real disadvantage. But as soon as you look carefully at WHY the left hand is discriminated against, you begin to notice problems. Lefties forced to use their right hand are being forced to use a side of the brain that doesn't work as well for some tasks. Stammering is a common side effect of forcing a person to change hands. There is one very clear reward to being left handed, though. It's said that a wife lies on the right side and a mistress on the left. My family was comparing notes and the wives all slept on the left side, in the mistress position. Except mine. And then I knew what was happening. When you sleep in the same bed and the man makes an approach, he rolls toward the woman. Which hand is uppermost and free to use then? It seems we all had satisfying marriages. I'm left handed. But there's an 85% chance that the mate (man or woman) of a left hander will likewise have the favored hand topmost.
20 :
people are born left or right handed, it shouldnt be an issue really, why should someone have to change what hand they write with?? as long as they can write who cares what hand its with. me my husban and our 2 children are left handed and were all fine. being left handed is not a habbit. its genetic.
21 :
you are realy backward. whats wrong by being left handed? dont tell me only right handed people live normal lives. there are products made for lefties you know. right or left its the same.
22 :
You shouldn't change something you are born with. My aunt used to be left handed and where she used to live they hit her left hand untin they broke her fingers now she can't use her left hand very well at all. It may seem wierd to you but it's just the way it is.
23 :
well im not too sure why im left handed but i am. my parents didnt try to make me change to my right hand, im not too sure on how americans think of this matter but in australia it doesnt really matter at all.
24 :
What is wrong about being left handed? I'm left handed, and it is not a choice we make, nor our parents'
25 :
How can it be a bad habit when that is what is natural to them? Would you think it weird if people thought that because you were right handed there was something wrong?????
26 :
People are born left handed. Left handed people actually think more with a certain side of the brain and it's not a habit or a bad thing. I have heard that many years ago, left handers where made to switch but that does not happen anymore.
27 :
Canadians do too! I was born in 1976 in Canada & have always been left handed. My grade one teacher was very old fashioned & (strict) & she felt the same way as you did. The teacher had my mother & I come to school to her classroom & the teacher tried to get me to write with my right hand & once my mother saw how messy my right handed printing was, that was it. My mother finally piped up & said "No Way She's Left Handed & Thats It." After that day, the teacher never said another word! If you watch tv on a regular basis, start paying attention when actors or actresses are writing, there's a high percentage that are. In just my family alone there is my cousin & I. Then I have a close friend who is also left handed. Apparently people who are left handed use the right side of their brains while right handed people use the left side of their brain. In Britain, around 11% of men and women aged 15-24 are now left-handed, compared to just 3% in the 55-64 age category.[19] McManus suggests a number of factors that may be driving this increase: *Left-handers were severely discriminated against during the 18th and 19th centuries and it was often "beaten out" of people, *In adulthood, left-handers were often shunned by society, resulting in fewer marrying and reproducing. As discrimination was reduced in the 20th century, the number of natural left-handers who stayed left-handed increased The rising age of motherhood contributed as, statistically, older mothers are more likely to give birth to left-handed children.

HEHEHE! I AM A LEFTY--- AND VERY PROUD OF IT! ((: However back in the day-- 50s/60/s My aunt who is also left handed, when in school the teacher would hit her hand with a ruler also- so it was not always just OK- Clinton is a lefty.... lots of celebrities are leftys too---- leftys are smart, and special ~((:

so what, my daughter is left handed
30 :
I would not call it backwards, but I'd call it a cultural thing. You need to get over it though. Being left handed is not a bad habit- it is something that your brain decides. You will not feel too happy if somebody forced you to write with your left hand or your foot, so leave the lefties alone. My dad's and my mom's grandmothers were left-handed and their parents and teachers even spanked them to make them switch. They wrote with their right hand, but had horrid handwriting, and used their left hand for everything else ( knitting, cutting, etc). Handedness is something that your genetics decides. I am left-handed and I've never had any problems, nor anybody (except for my first-grade antiquated teacher) has tried to switch me. I did more than fine in school, so it has never been any problem.
31 :
left handed ness is not a habit it is just who you are. My mother was raised where left handed was bad. She was hit every day by teachers and she is still left handed. It is really hard to change your dominant hand. Also it is proven that people who are left handed think with their right side of the brain and tend to be more creative so why would you not want a child to be creative
32 :
I AM A LEFTY AND PROUD OF IT. My parents tried to make me switch, it did not work. Nothing worked and they had to give up. Making a child change hands is OLD SCHOOL, it was quite common back in the 30s, 40, 50s. But nowadays, parents accept it. We understand that kids are different and we praise those differences. Honestly, I believe it is hereditary. A gene for left-handed. And it can travel through many lines of generations. One of my sons is left handed like me and one is right handed like my husband. It is natural. Back in the early days we could not accept differences. When I was born I had reddish olive skin and black black hair and dark blue eyes. My mother and father looked at me and though someone in the hospital switched the babies up. My father wanted to give me back. He thought I was Indian. My mother said no I will keep her even though she looks nothing like the rest of the kids and family. Well I can tell you after 50 years that I am deffinately her child and I look just like my brothers. What if she would have tried to give me back? Tried to change me? Did not accept this left-handed BABY?
33 :
I was a leftie as a child, my teachers made me do things with my right hand starting in kindergarten here in America in the early 80's-I had terrible handwriting and couldn't even cut with scissors for years. Then they'd talk to my parents about how behind I was, which was stupid because they made me that way. I still eat and do regular things with my left but write with my right, if I write with my left now it's like a kindergartner since that's where I stopped writing. I think it's cruel to make a child go against nature.
34 :
Left-handedness is as natural as blue eyes or olive skin. We are born to be who we are. Western cultures stopped changing children's handedness in the 1970s when they finally realised it was "alright" to be left-handed. 10-12% of the general population is left-handed, although 15% of children in Australian schools are left-handed from our research. We believe this is because we no longer stop children being left-handed. There is a strong tendency in Asian cultures to still stigmatise left-handers and change them where possible but this is changing slowly, thankfully. The porportion of lefties in Asian cultures can be as low as 3% because of this cultural influence.

I was born in 1987 and lived in Indonesia for the first 17+ yrs of my life. I am now 19 & have been in usa for 1 yr. In my grade level in Indonesia, out of 120 students, 3 were left-handed and I remember the PE teacher saying 3 left-handers out of 120 is more than average. I knew one of the left-handers quite well and she told me her mum used to hit her left hand with a ruler but she never became right-handed. Out of about a hundred ppl I knew from my school in Indonesia, she was the only left-hander. I came to usa last year and have made quite a lot of friends since then. I notice about 15% of my friends are left-handed, most of them being caucasian girls. Out of about 10 of those I asked whether their parents tried to switch them, only 1 said yes. I was really shocked that american parents let their kids be left-handed. I have always thought left-handed is a bad habit like thumb-sucking that parents have to try to refrain their kids from doing. I guess I am backward?

Welcome to the U.S., WE do things different here, if you're left handed it's ok, remember, if the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, does that mean left handed people are in there right mind ?
4 :
Left handers think with the right side of their brain. Lefty. fact. I AM
5 :
Its a trait, like having freckles or a big nose. Beating a kid won't change that, or at least it shouldn't. Its about which hand is dominant. That is the best hand for writing with. And most left handed children have a left handed parent or grandparent. Being a lefty is nothing to feel shame about. Its just part of them! I hate when people pick on kids for stupid stuff.
6 :
There is no "letting" them be left or right handed. It is dictated by their brain. They naturally use their dominate hand and if you try to change it, it can really mess them up. I guess your culture just views it differently. Here, it's acceptable to be either left or right handed. I've read studies that say left handed people tend to have higher IQ's. Unfortunately, me and all of my children and right handed!
7 :
Well that's something I didn't know. No your not backward its just what was normal for you guys. if your right handed you don't get that pencil smudge though and here we don't really care as long as one of them works you're good
8 :
I was not forced to use my right hand but I use both my right and left hands to write. It's not a bad habit. It's not a bad thing to be right or left handed here. It just takes some getting used to. My handwriting is neater with my left hand than my right but I use both. It's not a habit some people just sometimes write better with one hand than the other. It also has to do with the side of the brain a person uses.
9 :
What difference does it make if someone is left or right handed. As long as the job is done who should care. That's the way GOD made them so shall it be. That's like England driving on the other side of the road unlike the rest of the world, so what , it works for them so who should care. Being different is cool.

im left handed its not bad i mean its really hard to use the other hand...why dont u try to use ur left hand for everything for 1 day

my mother used to hit me on my left hand every time i used it to eat or write, so i was forced to be right handed. i hated her for that and still have a resentment over that (the hitting). about 10 years ago i decided to really use my left hand. surprising things are: i picked up writing with my left immediately, my left hand writing is almost the identical as my right hand writing, i draw better with my left than my right. i do have to admit that i really enjoy being ambidextrous. i do have that to thank my mother for that.
12 :
when you try and control a person's way of writting you are tryig to rewire their brain this is extreamly unhealthy. Many studies were done and have proven that this method of trying to switch lefties to righties is not good!!! Because Lefties use their right side of their brain they are very good problemsolvers. I am a lefty it is very difficult to live in a world that has basically made for right handed people but I have adjusted nicely with no ill affects. In the U.S.A. diversity is what this country was built on enjoy it, embrace it, and learn from it. Welcome to America, I hope your stay is a pleasant one.

I am almost 60, and I remember people who were old when I was young talking about how they were smacked until they used their right hand. They also UNIFORMLY said that they would never do that to a child. I was left-handed, and none of my teachers, nor my parents or grandparents, ever tried to bully me to change. It was not made much of at all. "Southpaw" was as much as they ever bothered to tease me about, and I didn't have any reason to mind that. But the old Victorian ladies told us about how, when they were young, people were cruel to their children, and beat them to make them right-handed. We were glad to live in better times, and that was the end of the discussion. No big deal. Now, at my age, I hear that there are still places where this cruel custom is continued. I am saddened. I didn't know. Do we need a left-hander's Liberation Front?
14 :
forcing a child to change what has come naturally to them is an extremely old school way of thinking. I am surprised that people still do it & that people find it abnormal that parents dont force their kids into switching. Its not just America, most of the world is now treating their kids as humans not tools...most of it not all.

Who is Barry Soetoro?
Who is Barry Soetoro?
In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College . Released today, the transcript school indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking. Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as President article titled, "Obama eligibility Questioned," leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit to the U.K. In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments concerning Obama's legal eligibility to serve as president in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey . This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio's Case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or qualification to serve as president. Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder. So far Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter..

Your own first paragraph states that "he never applied for US citizenship" - gee, ever think it's because HE IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN? Long before Obama ever ran for president, he obtained his first passport, which requires that you submit your long-form birth certificate. Trust me, if Obama was not a citizen, the Clintons, the McCain campaign with the help of the Bush White House, the FBI and CIA, would have been able to ferret out what you birthers think is the truth. The truth is, he was born in Hawaii. Get over it, move on.

Donofrio's case has been dead in the water since December 2008. Occidental has never released transcripts. http://www.oxy.edu/x7992.xml Foreign students don't get aid, Fulbrights are only for graduate students or students studying outside the US.

Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as President article titled, "Obama eligibility Questioned," leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit to the U.K. In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments concerning Obama's legal eligibility to serve as president in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey . This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio's Case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or qualification to serve as president. Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder. So far Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter..

It sounds like you already know the answer to your question and are simply using this for soap boxing / kicking a dead horse.
3 :
College transcripts do not have financial aid information. Nor do foreign students recieve financial aid. All foreign students must demonstrate funding for their entire four years of schooling in order to attend an American school. Again, this information would not be on a college transcript.

The name change from Barry, to Barrack Hussein says it all.

Apparently according to some respondents Occidental provided false information. We don't see any support for it though. It looks like Scalia feels there is cause for concern. How do you spin that?

Your own first paragraph states that "he never applied for US citizenship" - gee, ever think it's because HE IS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN? Long before Obama ever ran for president, he obtained his first passport, which requires that you submit your long-form birth certificate. Trust me, if Obama was not a citizen, the Clintons, the McCain campaign with the help of the Bush White House, the FBI and CIA, would have been able to ferret out what you birthers think is the truth. The truth is, he was born in Hawaii. Get over it, move on.

This is an April Fool's spoof that is more than a year old. The organization doesn't exist, but they have a web site tracking their spoof. http://amfoi.wordpress.com/ As they say: "But this message isn’t meant for people like you and me who actually check facts, require evidence and live in the Reality-Based Community. The message is meant for chumps." Scalia never announced the Court would hear an eligibility case: in fact, they've declined to hear 9 separate motions/petitions. Donofrio's case has been dead in the water since December 2008. Occidental has never released transcripts. http://www.oxy.edu/x7992.xml Foreign students don't get aid, Fulbrights are only for graduate students or students studying outside the US.
