Subject: Smoking gun finally found?

AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information” has released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking.
The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs scoffed at the report stating that this was obviously another attempt by a right-wing conservative group to discredit the president and undermine the administration’s efforts to move the country in a new direction.
Britain’s Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, “Obama Eligibility Questioned”, leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first official visit to the U.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey. This lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.

Interesting indeed.....
nothing in MSM, must be a hoax....
Chris,
I have to agree with John. There is no corroboration of this claim in any major media source. In fact what I was able to find indicates that the judge refused to release Obama's school records.
You need to perform some due diligence before jumping on every tin foil hat brigade story.
I'm not jumping in on anything. I don't trust the MSM at all. The link I found cited the Arizona Sentinel. I will have to look at their website to see if it is still there. AND...I am good at recanting and saying I was wrong when I am wrong.
Okay, have had a minute to look into it. Some think it may have been an April fools joke...other's think it might be Obomobots putting false info out there. I thought the Arizona Sentinel was a newspaper, but it looks like it is maybe a blog? The article when I saw it said AP leading me to think it was the associated press, but apparently it may be linked to the API which is the African Press responsible for the whole "we have the tapes" debacle involving Michelle Obama.
Sorry this may not be a true story. If I hear differently I will let you know.
