Actually, Rule 36 of the Federal Court system requires a response within 30 days, lest the presumption of agreement with the charges apply, even if the response is nothing more than, "Stuff it up your arse, you're full of crap". And he certainly could have put the matter to an end had he simply ponied up the document, and told Berg where to stick it. Surely, somewhere there is a valid copy of it? The following analysis of the document he put up at his website makes enough credible points that Obama's silence and the media's lack of follow-up is curious, at the very least. http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/07/atlas-exclusive.html You may object that this is a blog, but that's why we ask politicians to put their stuff up to public scrutiny. I like to consider both the message and the messenger, and in this case the guy claims to be a forensic investigator in his day job, and raises issues I could never have found wrong with the document image that Obama provided on his website. I endorse neither the "born in Kenya" nor the "son of Frank Marshall Davis" theory at the moment. They both seem far-fetched to me, and their implications are out-of-this-world explosive if either is true. However as I have been absorbed in studying Obama's history through his books, and whatever I could find about his friends and associates during his metoric rise via publicly available mediums, and looking for clues about who he is and what he represents, the chasm between what I know about him and what his enthusiastic supporters know about him, couldn't be wider. In order to believe Obama is who he says he is, and will do what he says he will do, one must suspend disbelief not merely with respect to what his supporters say about him, which is all too often contradicted by fact, but also what he himself has said about himself in his own words. You have to ignore a huge and growing body of internally-consistent evidence of radical views and dangerous associations. The Left has been clever in getting people to view any criticism of Obama as unfair, racist and necessarily slimey. Meanwhile, his attacks are painted as "transcending" partisan politics, race and religion. This is actually one of the scarier aspects of this election, the degree to which the media is moving in lockstep with his campaign talking points. > > If eleceted I hope he has the same strength when little things pop up. > God forbid it! Bush was accused of using his power to go after Joe Wilson. The White House was accused of leaking a covered agent's identity to go after a humble civil servant and private citizen. In fact, the whole story was a lie. Bush had every right to dispute what Wilson was saying, even, since Wilson was engaging in imputing Bush's motives, to impute Wilson's motives. But in the final analysis, Fitzgerald revealed two key facts he knew from the beginning of his 24-month perjury trap: Plame was not a covered agent, nor was the actual "leaker" in the White House, but rather in the State Dept, which disagreed with the White House in some important policy particulars with respect to Iraq. I keep bringing this up because these facts are important, for people who value truth, anyway. Yet look what Obama's folks did to Joe the Plumber, who for asking Obama a contrary question and eliciting a painfully truthful response, had his tax returns, license status, and financial condition dragged out on TV within a mere 24 hours. I guarantee you if Obama is elected you will see REAL persecutions of private citizens, and REAL abuse of power, on a scale that makes the worst accusations against Bush look ridiculous by comparison. What you mistake for leadership is in fact a disturbing willingness to use power politics to crush opponents and hide the truth. > Had he raced to court to show anything it would have shown him as weak > and bendable.

I mourn that such an independent minded person views an honest answer to such a simple question as beyond the pale of what a "leader" should be asked to provide. - Bob > > -- > Stephen Russell > Sr. Production Systems Programmer > Mimeo.com > Memphis TN > > 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
