    Philip Berg's lawsuit has been thrown out of court.

    Oct 25, 3:37 PM (ET)

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging Barack Obama's qualifications to be president.

    U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick on Friday night rejected the suit by attorney Philip J. Berg, who alleged that Obama was not a U.S. citizen and therefore ineligible for the presidency. Berg claimed that Obama is either a citizen of his father's native Kenya or became a citizen of Indonesia after he moved there as a boy.

    Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father. His parents divorced and his mother married an Indonesian man.

    Internet-fueled conspiracy theories question whether Obama is a "natural-born citizen" as required by the Constitution for a presidential candidate and whether he lost his citizenship while living abroad.

    Surrick ruled that Berg lacked standing to bring the case, saying any harm from an allegedly ineligible candidate was "too vague and its effects too attenuated to confer standing on any and all voters."

    YEAH.. How DARE you focus on Obama's birth certificate....

    We should be focusing on much more important things like the cost of Palin's clothes and how she bought them LMAO... err I mean how it reflects on her character that she WEARS expensive clothes Because THAT is WAAAAAAY more important than the birth certificate of the man that could be the next POTUS.

    And dancing

    BUT... I apparently don't have a right to an opinion since I wasn't born here lol even if it DOES affect MY daughter growing up in this country. What do I know lol

    Ah yes, but Sparky...have you seen Ms. Palin's birth certificate?

    I haven't and therefore I question whether she is a legimate candidate!

    And what if it has a crease in it? Does that mean Ms. Palin citizenship is invalid? So very silly.

    And one more time...you seem to have some difficulty understanding this...no one complained about Ms. Palin wearing expensive clothes...in fact I said...ermine and diamonds -- don't care.

    I care who pays for them. No, I really don't. (It's not my money. I donate my money to causes that I have researched -- to determine how they spend the money.) I just think it makes her a joke and a hypocrite.

    I too, have no problem with dressing her up. (the RNC paid for it,not me)
    But it does seem hypocritical to hype her as a "Jane 6 pack" & then try to
    give her a makeover for TV exposure. What's up with that?
    Do they think she's not ready for"primetime" unless she's wearing designer
    clothes?

    This you need to take up with LH. He has a real problem with people from other countries trying to influence US politics! There is a thread about it. He says "they" don't know about our internal politics.

    Sorry!

    I don't really think that applies to me since I LIVE in the US. it is you who seems to have disdain for the fact that I give an opinion about the politics of the US just because I was not born here... it always seems to be your back up "jab"... however my daughter was and her future is all that matters to me not to mention that what happens here also affects the country I WAS born in.

    As for the clothes thing... I don't have difficulty understanding... it just really seems to get you riled up over something quite silly. Amusing

    Yes! amusing is my word for it too! We agree!

    Don't you think what happens in the US has a big impact on people in MANY countries? And that is why those folks are interested in the outcome?

    Again..my point and glad to see we have common ground.

    A. What happens in the US does matter to people from other countries and they are entitled to an opinion! Not a vote...but certainly an opinion.

    B. Ms. Palin's RNC-bought wardrobe fuss was amusing.

    I knew you would come around! Heckofajob Sparky!
