A Warren County magistrate this morning, Friday, Oct. 31, denied a Turtlecreek Twp. man’s attempt to remove Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s name from the ballot in Ohio.

David Neal, 55, claimed in a lawsuit he filed in Warren County Common Pleas Court that Obama is not a U.S. citizen and cannot be elected president because he does not meet the constitutional requirement of being a native-born citizen. Neal claimed Obama was born in Kenya and cited a long-standing Internet rumor. An Obama spokesman on Thursday dismissed the accusation as “roundly and repeatedly debunked.”

Neal asked for a court order removing Obama’s name from ballots to be used in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 4, arguing that Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner had not confirmed Obama’s citizenship status.

Magistrate M. Andrew Hasselbach listened to Neal on Thursday and said he would make his decision by noon on Friday.

I. Can’t. Believe. I’m. Posting. This. And yet, here we are…

It’s shocking to see evidence of how deeply some of these rumors have penetrated, but this is hardly without precedent. To wit: Iraq and 9/11, or better yet, the crazy lady who told McCain that Obama “was an Arab.”

Well you know what? McCain’s torture in Vietnam made him crazy/unstable, and he fathered an illegitimate “black” child. I’ve provided Internet references.
