For weeks, internet blogs have been abuzz with questions regarding the validity
of Obama's U.S. citizenship. Only recently have these questions been given
serious consideration
Philip Berg, lifelong Democrat and Philadelphia lawyer, filed a lawsuit August
8, 2008, challenging Obama's claim of U.S. citizenship. The lawsuit could be
resolved if Obama simply produces his birth certificate, which he has yet to do.
Questions have arisen about the birth certificate Obama initially placed on his
web site. Well known Fact Check.org, attested to its authenticity but, as this
video produced by Philip Berg shows, serious questions remain. Berg has pointed
out that FactCheck.org is associated with the Annenberg Foundation, upon whose
board Obama once sat.
This video is app. 9 minutes long. Every American should have access to the
information it contains in order to decide for themselves the veracity of Berg's
allegations.
