Putting it all on the line for belief and Constitutionality: Soldier doubts eligibility, defies president’s orders
A U.S. soldier on active duty in Iraq has called President Obama an “impostor” in a statement in which he affirmed plans to join as plaintiff in a challenge to Obama’s eligibility to be commander in chief.
The statement was publicized by California attorney Orly Taitz who, along with her DefendOurFreedom.us Foundation, is working on a series of legal cases seeking to uncover Obama’s birth records and other documents that would reveal whether he meets the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.
“As an active-duty officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of president of the United States,” wrote Scott Easterling in a “to-whom-it-may-concern” letter.
Obama “has absolutely refused to provide to the American public his original birth certificate, as well as other documents which may prove or disprove his eligibility,” Easterling wrote. “In fact, he has fought every attempt made by concerned citizens in their effort to force him to do so.”
Taitz told WND she had advised Easterling to obtain legal counsel before making any statements regarding the commander-in-chief, but he insisted on moving forward. His contention is that as an active member of the U.S. military, he is required to follow orders from a sitting president, and he needs – on pain of court-martial – to know that Obama is eligible.
Surely, the Left will personally attack and smear Easterling, but, the point is valid: why is Obama so hell-bent on keeping his actual birth certificate secret? And before anyone writes it, his Certificate of Live Birth, printed within the last few years, is not proof, particularly when you look at the statement on the bottom of it.
Just for clarity, I am not saying that Obama is not eligible: until proven otherwise, I will take the opinion that he is. But, again, why is he fighting tooth and nail to quash all lawsuits regarding the forced release of the BC? Why not just go “here. Satisfied?”
