Dear Editor:
Responding to Roger Algase, Esq.'s 12/31/08 letter, I don't understand how Mr. Algase's letter interprets my criticism of Mr. Murray's letter being "self-righteous" as one that his letter does not "respect" my argument. Obama has presented his Certification of Live Birth (COLB) has proof that he was born in Hawaii. That document itself states that it's only "prima facie" evidence of that fact. As we have seen under the definition of
"prima facie," the presumption that the fact exists fails when evidence
contradicting that fact is presented. Obama has the burden to come forward with competent
evidence to prove that he was born in Hawaii. To date, he has failed to
come forward with that evidence. Moreover, many concerned Americans have provided the public domain with evidence
which contradicts the COLB's statement that Obama was born in Hawaii.
They have presented the following: the existence of the lax Hawaiian law
that existed at the time Obama was born which allowed parents to
register their foreign born babies in Hawaii; Obama's grandmother's
statement that her grandson was born in Kenya and that she was present
during that birth; the Kenya Ambassador to the US, Peter
N.R.O. Ogego, confirmed on November 6, 2008 during a radio interview
on WRIF's "Mike In the Morning," that "President-Elect Obama"
was born in Kenya and that his birth place was already a "well-known"
attraction; the conflicting statements of Obama and his sister
concerning in which Hawaiian hospital he was born; the failure of any
Hawaiian hospital to confirm that Obama and/or his mother were present
in any such hospital at the time of Obama's alleged birth in Honolulu. How can the American people in good faith conclude that Obama was born in Hawaii which makes him a "natural born Citizen" and therefore eligible to be President?
