Ruling to come on Obama birth case
By Sheila McLaughlin

A Warren County magistrate said he'll decide tomorrow whether Ohio
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has to get proof that Barack Obama
was born in the United States.

David M. Neal, a Turtlecreek Township resident who runs a political
Web site, filed suit last week, saying state and federal government
leaders have failed to verify that Obama was born in Hawaii, instead
of Kenya.

The U.S. Constitution requires presidents to be natural-born citizens
who are at least 35 years old.

Neal says he's part of a nationwide grass-roots movement that has
questioned Obama's birthplace and qualification to run for president.

Neal's complaint asserts that Obama's Internet site does not disclose
the name of the hospital where Obama was born and that an original
long version of the birth certificate should be made available before
the election.

The controversy has lingered even though various fact-checking groups
and journalists have concluded that the Hawaiian birth certificate
appears to be authentic.

Neal contends that Obama should be removed from the Ohio ballot if
Brunner can't confirm that Obama was born in the United States.
