Judge to Lakin: Find another defense
Rules that officer challenging Obama's eligibility can't see evidence
FT. MEADE, MD. - A career officer in the U.S. Army acting as a judge in the court-martial process for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin today ruled that the military is no place for Barack Obama's eligibility to be president to be evaluated.
Army Col. Denise R. Lind today ruled in a hearing regarding the evidence that will be allowed in the scheduled October court-martial for Lakin that he will be denied access to any of Obama's records as well as any testimony from those who may have access to those records.
With her decision, Lind plunged into lockstep with a number of federal judges who have ruled on civil lawsuits over Obama's eligibility. They have without exception denied the plaintiffs' any access to any requested documentation regarding the president's eligibility.
Lind ruled that it was "not relevant" for the military to be considering such claims, that the laws allegedly violated by Lakin were legitimate on their face and that the chain of command led up to the Pentagon and that should have been sufficient for Lakin.
Paul Rolf Jensen, Lakin's civilian attorney, said the case would continue. But he said the courts now have denied his client the opportunity to present his defense.
Jensen had argued that under U.S.C. Rule 46, a defendant being put on court martial has the right to call any and all witnesses and obtain any evidence in his or her defense.
Lind, who took 40 minutes to read her decision to the courtroom, disagreed.
She said opening up such evidence could be an "embarrassment" to the president and anyway, it should be Congress that would call for impeachment of a sitting president.

Obama received a college scholarship available only to foreign citizens:
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - 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 indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as 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 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.
actually it is more reasonable to produce the records so we can judge for ourselves... you would only take someone elses word for it when the originals do not exist.
Do you believe everything George Bush, Dick Cheney and republican officials say? I don't.
Ever see cops lie or Assistant District attorneys encourage lies by witnesses on the stand.... I sure as hell did. (and I worked for a D.A.) You have corrupt or simply over zealous govt officials in ever state. Every see a Mayor and the City attorney completely disregard the law and make shit up to push through and agenda item.
Doesn't that shit drive you nuts.
Please don't expect me or any other thinking person to take the word of some official.
We have no reasonably believable evidence of where Obama was born.
If you have it produce it or even give me a link to the source. Not a quote of a quote.
Get that horse shit out of here
