A brand new, in-depth investigation into the background of Barack Obama may spell big trouble ahead regarding the issue of Presidential eligibility.
The investigation was conducted by Northeast Intelligence Network--a team of experienced, professional private investigators whose services have been utilized by Fortune-500 companies. The director, Douglas J. Hagmann, is a 23-year veteran in high-level investigations and is a member of the International Counter-Terrorism Officers Association.
Hagmann's investigation into the background and Constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama to serve as President of the United States is extensive and thorough. His conclusions are stunning.

For example, neither of Obama's parents were citizens of the United States at the time of his birth. Therefore, Obama would have to have been born on U.S. soil in order to qualify as a 'natural born citizen' according to the qualifications specified in the Constitution.
But Hagmann's investigation reveals that, contrary to the notion of those who point to a short-form birth certificate in Hawaii, and 2 birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers, neither of these factors proves anything at all about Obama's status or citizenship:
the Certification of Live Birth is consistently cited by individuals, the media and others to prove the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein OBAMA. Nonetheless, even an authenticated and genuine Certification of Live Birth is legally insufficient for the purpose of proving eligibility, as it merely represents that OBAMA’s birth record is on file in the state of Hawaii. It falls short of providing the information necessary to determine constitutional eligibility in at least two areas: it does not offer any information regarding who supplied the information, nor does it confirm the authenticity of the information provided. Again, it merely indicates that the information is “on file.”
In other words, the 'certification of live birth' as touted by Obama apologists and the mainstream media as 'proof' Obama meets the eligibility requirements of the Constitution actually proves nothing.
In addition, Hagmann disputes the notion that birth announcements in local Hawaiian newspapers provide proof:
Many who argue that Barack Hussein OBAMA II was born in Hawaii not only point to the COLB as direct evidence of eligibility, but they also point to two separate birth announcements that appear in the Honolulu Sunday Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin in 1961. Those doing so either fail to understand the legal definition of a natural born citizen as it applies to the eligibility factor, or are guilty of intentionally misdirecting the core issue. A birth announcement is simply that – a public announcement that a baby was born. The birth announcements do not provide any information about the child’s citizenship, cannot be authenticated, and hold no weight of evidence to support either side of the eligibility argument.
However, the key information in Hagmann's report that casts doubts upon Obama's eligibility is the fact that the very organizations that published the short-form certificate of live birth and the 2 birth announcements in newspapers have direct connections with Barack Obama.
The DailyKos is the primary suspect and the first entity to publish 'proof' of a birth certificate. The DailyKos is an ultra-Leftwing hate-group that not only is 'in the tank' for Obama but smears and seeks to destroy those who oppose extremist, Leftwing initiatives in politics.
'Fight the Smears,' which also pointed to these 2 erroneous pieces of 'evidence,' is owned by 'Organizing for America,' which was originally named 'Obama for America.' This speaks for itself.
And finally, there is the much-hallowed 'Factcheck.org'--supposedly an independent, non-partisan clearinghouse that separates truth from fiction in the media and on the Internet. Hagmann's investigation reveals that Factcheck is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, which receives its primary funding from the Annenberg Foundation.
Barack Obama was a founding member, chairman, and past President of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was also funded by the Annenberg Foundation. Thus, the supposed 'neutrality' of Factcheck.org can safely be called into question.
The bottom line is that so far absolutely no positive proof has been provided that establishes that Barack Obama was born on American soil.
Why is this important? An individual who would spend millions of dollars hiding his background and pertinent documents from the public, and who would make false statements about about his history, cannot be trusted to tell the American people the truth about what his policy initiatives are intended to do regarding the 'fundamental change' of America.

If these investigators are top notch then I am sure they can provide proof of where he was born, if not Hawaii - then where? and I presume that the burden of proof would be equally high for any birth records found in a different country. For example - any birth certificate should be questioned for authenticity - any newspaper articles should be scrutinized for validity of purpose and past affiliations. I was not present at his birth so I can't know for sure. But then again, all I have to prove that I was born in the United States is a birth certificate and a birth announcement. I doubt anyone besides my immediate family have any memory of my birth. I and the President were simply little bitty babies at the time.
You mean serial plagiarist and fabricator of lies Hagmann? Y'all need to do a better vettin' job on your sources. If this boy said it was sunny outside I'd be grabbin' my umbreller.
Fer instance, Obama's momma was born in the USA and was a citizen from birth.
The mothers citizenship is irrelevant. For a mother to convey US citizenship to a child she must have lived in the US a certain period of time past her 14th birthday. Dunham simply wasn't old enough to pass that test.
Biddy--you are 100% wrong--that info is FALSE!
lg--more info is on the way!
To top off this article, I draw a blank when I try to think of instances where Obama has told the truth, to date.
I'm surprised he has any supporters, since black American's for the most part don't believe in his core values; supression of Christianity, abortion, etc. This leads me to believe they only support him for the color of his skin. God know's he sucks at everything he gets involved in.
Being a black American-I can tell you right off of the bat, that while there are many policies of this administration that I do agree with, as a Christian and moderate Democrat, there are some I clearly disagree with. I think it is blantantly wrong and doggedly prejudiced of anyone to say that all black Americans support Obama because he's black. Let's wake up here. Furthermore, while I totally think that LG has a great point demanding that the "birthers", or anyone such as Douglas Hagmann, who obviously agrees this far-fetched, smokescreen tactic concocted by the extreme right, come up with evidence that Obama was NOT born in the U.S.; that proof of his citizenship would fall on deaf and unenlightened ears. The "birthers" don't want to hear anything other than what tall tales they have come up with and especially not the truth.
I hate to tell you this, but the man is BARELY black. His genetics are around 14% African. That's less than what is legally binding for someone to claim to be a member of that particular race.
Example: You must be 16% Native American to receive tax credits, receive education benefits, or be allowed access to a reservation and or it's benefits or to claim that as your race during tax time.
really..are you people so brainwashed, really? If your stil trying to support Obama, you are a brainwashed joke.
Boy ain't even a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Licensed Investigators or the National Association of Investigative Specialists and don't even have a PI license in that county in Pennsylvania.
Debbie Schlussel caught him plagiarizing her stuff in 2006. Google keywords in his 'reports' and you can find the originals he stole from.
Boy ain't nuthin' but a fraud - y'all been punk'd.
There is at least one error in this article: you said that Obama would have to be born on US soil since neither of his parents were citizens, but that would still not make him a Natural Born Citizen, only a citizen. There is a difference!
Your are correct. I have read both parents would have had to be citizens for him to be a naturalized citizen.
"Current Minister of Kenyan Government Declares Obama "was born here in Kenya" and Is Not a “native American”"
"A debate on the adoption of a new Kenyan Constitution took place in the House of the National Assembly of Kenya on Thursday, March 25, 2010."
The Minister for Lands, Mr. James Orengo:
"If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation, how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the President of America?"

“Therefore, Obama would have to have been born on U.S. soil in order to qualify as a ‘natural born citizen’ according to the qualifications specified in the Constitution.”
This is wrong. 'Natural Born Citizen' = Born on US soil from parents who are BOTH Citizen at the time of the birth.
"The distinction between "citizen" and "natural born Citizen" is based on the law of nations which became part of our national common law. According to that law as explained by Vattel in his, The Law of Nations, a "citizen" is simply a member of the civil society. To become a "citizen" is to enter into society as a member thereof. On the other hand, a "natural born Citizen" is a child born in the country of two citizen parents who have already entered into and become members of the society."
"Obama's father was born in Kenya when it was a British colony. When he came to America, he was probably here on a student visa and he never became a legal resident of the U.S. or an immigrant."
"If Obama was born in Hawaii, at best, he is a U.S. "citizen" under the 14th Amendment and federal statute. But he is not a "natural born Citizen" under the Constitution, for at the time of his birth under the British Nationality Act 1948 his father was a British subject and Obama himself through desc

Where does it say that "law of nations which became part of our national common law"?
Kim, Zeeshopper, and others--Excellent point! Yes, that part of my article is in error. BOTH parents would have had to have been citizens at the time of his birth in order for Obama to qualify as a 'natural born citizen' according to the Constitution. Thanks for the correction!
To the algore fan--why don't you get your hero to come clean about the Climategate scandal before coming here to question anything. Your support of that crook/charlatan outs you as highly suspect!
Maybe just to add my two cents,irregardless of all these certificates with the name "Obama" on them,his true name is Barry Soetoro. IMO, this would lend me to believe that any "proof"that's shown with the name "Obama" would/could be a forgery.Just my opinion.
Are you kidding me with this ridiculousness. I should have known by the #teaparty hashtag and with Glenn Beck's name attached to it that it would have been nothing. Waste of time.
Birth announcements would be expected since his grandparents lived & worked in Hi with High profile jobs.
Know-Joke--If you think Glenn Beck's assertions are wrong and that these reports are wrong, then PROVE it!! Where is your evidence?! We have actually been waiting for a year and half (almost) for Obamanoids to put up or shut up. They have not put up, but they have still not shut up their 'malign and destroy' tactics against critics!
Where is the Doctor who gave birth to this messiah?
First You have to find the three Wise Men, and this is the wrong place to do that with all these fools who love KOOL AID!!!!
Hasn't any one of the obots figured out yet that all of the Certification of Live Birth's presented have ALL been different?
I particularly like the "Race: African" printed, allegedly in 1961?
Come on now, "Race: Negro" was the official terminology.
Idiots.
By stating that someone born in America needs to have two parents who are American citizens you have shown the depth and breadth of your jaw-dropping ignorance. If you are born in US soil, NONE of your parents need to be American citizens, just by being born in US soil you are a Natural Born US citizen. You idiots are a laughingstock, and that's what America and the rest of the world are doing: laughing at you barely-literate, unread, uneducated, supremely ignorant birther idiots.
By displaying your moonbat mentality and denigration on anything which doesn't agree with your chosen messiah, you've displayed the true idiocy of the left-haranging isn't going to change facts, and making up words like "troofer" and "nirther" only irritates people you'd be better off leaving alone, becaus eawakening the sleeping giant went out with the nazi's and bushido code of WW2-mess with the best, etc.
Don't start something you're not capable of finishing. just leave and go tot the middle east to mouth off-the muhammedans will promptly behead you and the world will be better for it.
Fact: "natural born Citizen" (capital C) not "c".
Means: to have "natural" (biologigal) Parents who are
U.S. citizents whose "allegiance" is solely to the U.S..
Born on the "soil" is simply "native born" and has nothing to do
with "allegiance". If that were the case, then Fidel Castro
could impregnate a wife and send her here to have the child.
That "child" would be subject to "Cuba". Our forefathers
never intended to have "anyone" in the Presidential Office
who did not have sole "allegiance to the U.S..
Obama was born a British subject inherited by his father,
who was never a u.s. citizen.
It does not matter where he was born, as British Law provides
that once born a British citizen it is forever.
Ha ha ha - you are funny. Really?!?

I say - you prove it. I still have not seen any proof that Obama was not born in the US. You have a CLB and newspaper articles, but that is not enough for you. So prove that he was born somewhere else. And if you cite the current Minister of Kenyon Government - what's his proof? Was he there, or is he just trying to lay claim to Obama as one of their own (even though he is not)

Daniel V -
You apparently can't read. Re-read then retract your insults. I'll help. Here's the direct quote from the article:
"For example, neither of Obama's parents were citizens of the United States at the time of his birth. Therefore, Obama would have to have been born on U.S. soil in order to qualify as a 'natural born citizen' according to the qualifications specified in the Constitution."
Great Article!
Keep up the heat. The CBS blog is parroting the phony birth annoucement story.
Did they actually check the archives themselves? I bet no.
No matter he is a Natural Born British Subject with dual allegiance. BC or no BC. Unless he changes fathers. hmmm
Daniel V--Been drinking the Kool-Aid lately? You have no inkling of the meaning of 'natural born citizen' as the term was understood by the Framers of the Constitution. 'Native born' and 'natural born' are two entirely different things, and thus far there is ZERO evidence proving that Obama is a 'natural born citizen' though he may turn out to be 'native born'--and even THAT has not been proved beyond doubt.
Steve: apparently you can't read, which does not surprise me one bit:
"Kim, Zeeshopper, and others--Excellent point! Yes, that part of my article is in error. BOTH parents would have had to have been citizens at the time of his birth in order for Obama to qualify as a 'natural born citizen' according to the Constitution. Thanks for the correction!

This is wrong, misleading and FALSE. Why don't you imbeciles READ the Constitution you claim to love SO much. Anyone born in the United States is a citizen of the United States, and anyone who was a citizen from the moment he was born (meaning he did NOT have to adopt American citizenship later in life but had it from birth) is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. If you were born on American soil, the total number of American citizen parents you need in order to be a Natural Born Citizen is ZERO.
Allen-since your Messiah has successfully locked away and sealed any such information, placing it out of the reach of public view, then 'proving' it is a bit difficult, don't you think? But my evidence is certainly more credible than yours, since you don't have a shred of certified documentation showing that Obama meets the Constitutional requirement of being a 'natural born citizen' the way the Framers understood the term.
Daniel V--WRONG! The Framers specified what they meant FOR A PERSON WHO WOULD BE PRESIDENT...that does not extend to all of the rest of the citizens...ONLY to the President. Read the Founders' own words concerning what they meant by the term and you will see that your blather here is not only idiotic and ignorant, but designed to mislead.
They used actually debate the NBC argument in newspapers back in the day. You won't see that about Dear Leader Obama.

Anthony, your stupidity is hilarious. Nobody cares about what your biased and ridiculous interpretation of what you choose to
think the founding fathers meant is. The text of the 14th amendment is extraordinarily clear. I also love it how some of your moron readers seem to think that if an American-born Obama had been given British citizenship, that it would matter at all. What these idiots are saying is that if Hugo Chavez is worried that Newt Gingrich could become president, all he has to do is to decide to make Gingrich a Venezuelan citizen, and thus Gingrich would be automatically disqualified from the presidency. The hilarious thing about you birther retards is how you are wrong about things that are black or white, that are demostrably and provably one way OR the other. And that's why America laughs at you.
FUCK YOU
Daniel V--what is abundantly clear is that you are complete moron if you disregard the original intent. Get lost, idiot.
I also love it how the Clinton campaign got it wrong, the McCain campaign got it wrong, but some barely literate douchebag and his inbred moron readers got it right. Sorry dudes, a black man whose middle name is "Hussein" (cue brain aneurysms and strokes for you idiots) is the legitimately and duly elected President of the United States, and will remain so until the 20th of January, 2017. So long, imbeciles, enjoy teabagging each other, you ignorant, semi-retarded fools.
"The first recognized the English common law as the guide to the American form of government, while the second recognized the government to be founded on the natural law of man. The latter is the only and correct view. It is based on the compact in which the government had its origin. The application of the principles of the English common law was fallacious."
"Sir Vernon Harcourt decided: " That the rule of determining nationality in England was of purely feudal origin." In the United States it has never been held that the principle of feudalism was founded in natural reason and justice. On the contrary, the principles set forth in the declaration of independence are in distinct antagonism to the principles of feudalism."

Anthony, please don't waste time on birther nonsense. Obama is president. The only way to get him out is to elect someone else.
There is no dispute that his mother was a citizen. The results of my investigation are on the Carroll County Conservative Examiner page dated 12/7/09.
"To repeat what has already been set forth as the rule prior to 1836, it must be affirmed that neither jus soli nor allegiance in the English sense and meaning had any thing whatever to do with the acquisition of citizenship in the United States.
In England these rules went to the form of government. In the United States the government was organized on principles of contract as between men, in direct antagonism to the English form of government
The use of the term " allegiance " has no technical place in the jurisprudence of the United States in its feudal meaning.
Technically it should be said that the citizen has taken an oath to support the constitution and the laws of the United States. This is done by every citizen, either expressly or impliedly, before he enjoys full rights of citizenship."

David Thorton, You sound like an Obot. Got a problem with free speech?
"The two announcements in the Hawaiian newspaper in 1961 only prove a birth was REGISTERED there, not that he was born there. A registration was allowed under Hawaiian law in 1961 to be made by any family member via a simple mail-in form to the state Health Department. No 3rd party or independent witnesses to the birth were required. The statement of a family member registering a new born child as born home was accepted into the registration system with little or not questions back then. Thus the family could lie and register a birth in Hawaii when it occurred elsewhere, anywhere in the world, simply to get the child U.S. citizenship, a highly coveted status then and now. The false registration was not done so he could be President some day. The false registration was done to get the new born child citizenship for that time. It was a case of birth registration fraud to illegally gain U.S. citizenship for a foreign born child of the family."

Mr. Martin - "'Native born' and 'natural born' are two entirely different things".
I think Mr. Iredell would disagree, "No man but a native, or who has resided fourteen years in America, can be chosen President." (North Carolina Debates on the Constiution, July 30th, 1788).
As would James Kent, "As the President is required to be a native citizen of the United States" (Commentaries on American Law, 1826.)
As would Adam Seybert, "The alien is thus made a native, as it were, and is fully vested with every right and privilege attached to the native, with the exception impressed on the Constitution. … Our great family is composed of a class of men forming a single genus, who, to all intents and purposes, are equal, except in the instance specified — that of not being eligible to the presidency of the United States. The only exception to the rule is expressed in the Constitution.”, (House Of Representatives, February, 18I3)
errr Bill Cutting...he DID change fathers LOL. Lolo Soetoro adopted him. He married Obama's mother and took them to Indonesia. Once there, he adopted Obama. Now Obama is Barry Soetoro...get it? lol Obama admitted this publicly AFTER the election. hummm
Sooooooo my question is...WHEN was Obama REpatrioted to US Citizenship and name LEGALLY changed BACK to Obama? This also means his passport would have been changed in Indonesia. When and where did he come through CUSTOMS when he went back to Hawaii to live with his granparents? Noone has been able to find any documentation on these events to date. The only person who supposedly saw his original passport papers is supposedly now dead.
Anyone have any answers? Nah, didn't think so, lol.
Stay after 'em Anthony. The libtard arguments have stalemated and I am not surprised at how informed a lot of people are becoming on this issue and polished, as well.
I think he was born in Kenya most likely, and the reason I am leaning toward a foreign birth is his disregard for our customs, his completely fabricated fealty and the fact that he remains steadfastly, the audacious community organizer, and has failed to appear convincingly presidential since Jan. 20, 2009.
His race-baiting-bludgeoning of the Arizona citizenry doesn't help his persona and Matthew May says he was a summa-cum-laude graduate of the University of Castro at Chavez.
