W Ketchup Calls on Obama to Release his Personal Records

Eagle Bridge, NY — October 16, 2008 — Less than three weeks before the election, lingering questions remain about front-runner Barack Obama's past, including whether he is even constitutionally qualified for office.

Senator Obama says he was born in Hawaii, but he refuses to release a copy of his birth certificate. Prominent Democratic lawyer Philip Berg has sued, claiming that Obama is not a natural born US citizen and therefore not eligible to be President. The campaign has released two digital images of a certificate, one on Obama’s website, and a separate image on Factcheck.org. The first is widely believed to be a forgery, and the second has not been made available for inspection. Commentators have noted that Factcheck.org is supported by the Annenberg Foundation, and Obama was chairman of the Chicago branch of the fund.

Obama spent part of his childhood growing up in Indonesia after his mother married an Indonesian. In his lawsuit, Berg demonstrates that only Indonesian citizens were able to attend school during the years in which Obama was enrolled, and Obama is listed as an Indonesian citizen in his school’s records. Obama would have had to reinstate his American citizenship when he returned to Hawaii; otherwise he would be an undocumented, illegal alien. Obama has not released his Certificate of Citizenship.

Obama is represented in the suit by Joe Sandler, lawyer for the Council of American-Islamic Relations, which has proven links to Islamic terrorists. Instead of releasing the requested documents to the court, Sandler on October 6 asked for delay of discovery until after the election.

Bill Zachary, Chairman of W Ketchup, reacted: “The American people have a right to know the identity of this international man of mystery poised to become our next president. We view conspiracy theories, rightwing and leftwing, with a good deal of skepticism, but it is disturbing that Obama is dragging out a court case that should be simple to resolve – assuming he has nothing to hide.”

Obama’s life grows murkier as it progresses. He has admitted to using cocaine and marijuana in high school, and went on to attend Occidental and Columbia University for his B.A., and then to Harvard Law School. Obama has not released his transcripts, papers or records from any of these academic institutions.

W Ketchup has learned that senior Republicans believe Obama may have indicated his religious status as Muslim at Columbia and Harvard, a possible reason he does not want those records public. Obama has acknowledged benefitting from affirmative action.

Other information that Obama has not released includes his medical records, his law firm clients, and his records as an Illinois State Senator. Last week, however, Judicial Watch announced it had obtained documents under the Freedom of Information Act showing Obama had submitted earmarks for hundreds of thousands of dollars directed to supporters, including his wife’s cousin, while he was a state legislator.

W Ketchup CEO Dan Oliver commented: “Obama has requested $1 million per day in federal earmarks since he became a senator. We wonder, if he becomes president, how many earmarks he will direct toward other family members, such as his first cousin, Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, and his Kenyan half-brother, George Hussein Onyango Obama.”

Odinga lost the 2007 presidential election in Kenya. His supporters responded by slaughtering 1500 people, including 50 parishioners who were burned to death in a church. Senator Obama had campaigned for Odinga in Kenya, saying in one speech: “Kenyans are now yearning for change.” Obama has not revealed what actions his supporters will take if he loses the US election.
