Sinclair News contacted the office of Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp at 11:52:25 AM Friday asking if Judge Michael Malihi had filed his opinion/recommendation on the challenge to Obama’s eligibility to be on the Georgia Ballot. As of the time of our call to SOS Kemp’s office, Judge Malihi had not yet filed his opinion/recommendation. Then we were contacted late last night an informed Judge Malihi had filed his opinion/recommendation sometime Friday afternoon and it was nothing close to what Attorney Orly Taitz and Rightmarch.com had claimed just one week earlier in its massive email press release titled:
“WE WON: Obama OFF THE BALLOT in Georgia? SPREAD TO MORE STATES!” Obama has LOST His First Court Case on Eligibility — Tell Every OTHER Secretary of State to REMOVE Obama NOW:
Sinclair News reported on the email-press release being circulated by Taitz and Rightmarch.com when it first surfaced and we sent Rightmarch.com a request for comment. RightMarch.com chose to reply with “if you have the email it contains links to the sources of the information.” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution headline makes it clear
Judge: Obama eligible to be Georgia candidate
In a 10-page order, Judge Michael Malihi dismissed one challenge that contended Obama has a computer-generated Hawaiian birth certificate, a fraudulent Social Security number and invalid U.S. identification papers. He also turned back another that claimed the president is ineligible to be a candidate because his father was not a U.S. citizen at the time of Obama’s birth.
The findings by Malihi, a judge for the State Office of Administrative Hearings, go to Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who will make the final determination. Last month, at a hearing boycotted by Obama’s lawyer, Malihi considered complaints brought by members of the so-called “birther” movement.
With regard to the challenge that Obama does not have legitimate birth and identification papers, Malihi said he found the evidence “unsatisfactory” and “insufficient to support plaintiffs’ allegations.”
A number of the witnesses who testified about the alleged fraud were never qualified as experts in birth records, forged documents and document manipulation and “none … provided persuasive testimony,” Malihi wrote.

Have Orly Taitz & RightMarch.com killed their chances of success in GA ballot challenge?
With all the glowing comments Taitz and others associated with the Georgia Ballot challenge made in just the past two weeks about Judge Malihi it is going to be very difficult for them to now accuse Malihi of being unfair or biased in favor of Obama. Sinclair News (based on past incidents involving Taitz) believes that some if not all those associated with the Georgia challenge will attempt to claim Judge Malihi was somehow in the tank for Obama. Past actions of Orly Taitz makes this story newsworthy. As has been reported and the record clearly shows, Mrs. Taitz has a history of making claims about having obtained Court rulings in her favor only to have it shown no such rulings ever existed. The Georgia ballot challenge is yet another one of those claims.
Regardless of where people stand on the issue of Obama’s eligibility each and every person should be aware of the actual “facts” before being asked to support any state of federal challenges. The January 27, 2012 email and press release sent out to Rightmarch.com members proclaiming a Georgia victory before the Judge ever filed an opinion has to be a wake up call to them and others who are so quick to distribute information that they clearly know to be untrue. The continued Internet postings of what is clearly untrue in an attempt to solicit financial contributions for a cause will only hurt any serious and sincere challenge. Any effort to obtain a definition of the “Natural Born Citizen” requirement to be President will only come when Barack Obama has long since left the White House.
It is clear to Sinclair News that this challenge to Obama being or not being a “natural born citizen,” is far from over. It appears likely that the GOP may become the target of “Birther 2.0″ movement if FL Senator Marco Rubio is chosen as the GOP VP nominee. Tuesday on FOX News Joseph Farah, Founder & CEO of WND told Sean Hannity that “Marco Rubio is not eligible to be VP, he is not a natural born citizen.”
WorldNetDaily founder Joseph Farah promotes Rubio ineligibility argument
Conservative Joseph Farah on Tuesday evening predicted that “10 percent of the Republican vote” would fail to get behind Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as the hypothetical vice presidential nominee because they will believe the circumstances of his birth make him ineligible.

One can only step back and wonder whats next for Orly Taitz and WND’s Joseph Farah. Will the far left challenge Marco Rubio’s eligibility to be VP? Will Taitz and/or Farah challenge Rubio’s eligibility to be VP? Will the United States Supreme Court or Congress ever define “Natural Born Citizen,” as it pertains to eligibility to be President or Vice President? Does America have more important and more urgent needs to deal with? All of these questions will of course be answered differently by different people. Sinclair News does however believe that for the sheer publicity of it Farah and WND will push the same type of “Birther” movement against a Rubio VP run as he continues to do over Obama being a constitutionally eligible President.
Birthers! What nonsense!
I don’t know if any of you have been reading about the searches being done on the background of Judge Malihi – there’s to be found. Isn’t that rather strange?? “Is his ancestry really Iranian? Is his faith really Muslim? And did either of these things, if true, play a role in his decision to side with Obama in the Georgia eligibility hearing?…… If you click on the links for all the other judges listed, you will find a brief bio telling of where the particular judge was born, where they went to school, etc. But for Malihi? Nada! Zip! Niente! Bupkis! Nothing!”
It's time too stop all of this silliness talk over Obama's Birth Certficate. If you really want to beat Obama beat him on the issues this nation is facing and not some run of the mill stuff that was proven long ago that President Obama was and still is a naturalized born citizen being born in Hawaii. Dr. Orly Taitz is making herself look like an idiot now wanting an investigation of the very judge who gave her credence too hear her case. This mess is over, put it to bed once and for all. It's time too move forward and look at what is in the best interest of America. This mess Dr. Taitz and others are doing shows the ugliness and divide this country has based solely on hatred by using people who are not experts in specific fields as experts to go after the President.
You, Tony, are the idiot. A "Naturalized born citizen" is not eligible to hold the office of the presidency. Apparently the fact that any documentation has proven to be false is of no concern to you. It is people like you that are allowing our Constitution to be treaded on like a soiled carpet beneath Obama's feet.
F-150 I'm sorry your feelings are hurt but every Judge this case has come up to has ruled in favor of the President citing that President Obama is a Natural Born Citizen and therefore he is eligible to become and has become President.. Secondly name the expert who said the document was false? The judge granted Orly Taitz and others too prove this documents too be false, prove the authenication was false. the could not prove that and this is exactly why the judge ruled in favor of the President. The transcript says everything. The Plaintiffs just didn't have enough proof or factual evidence to overturn any previous court decisions, there fore the President has won again and now its time too move forward and Go Obama 2012…
It must be abundantly clear to anyone who is paying attention that the United States Government is no longer working in the best interest of the American people. The United States Government, a party to the contract known as the Constitution, has violated the terms of the agreement concerning, immigration, taxation, war powers, elections and many orher areas of the original intent of the contract. In my opinion, States and their citizens have no further obligation to uphold their end of this contract.
ABOLISH THIS CORRUPT, SELF SERVING GOVERNMENT!!!
According to the judge's opinion, he would have issued a default judgement against Obama, meaning that Obama would have been off the Georgia ballot, except for the fact that the plaintiffs specifically ASKED FOR A DECISION ON THE MERITS instead. The judge did not believe the case against Obama had been proven, so he ruled "on the merits" that Obama's name could stay on the ballot. If Taitz and her clients had taken the default judgement, Obama would be OFF the ballot. Maybe an appeal could have got him back on, maybe not, but it would have been a significant victory, one the Obama camp could not ignore. You have to wonder what is really going on.
Orly screws everything she works on. She is impossible and would do us all a favor if she would just go away.
Why aren't the Birther Crazies ranting about MUTT ROMNEY'S ineligibility to be President, wasn't his father born in Mexico,.. come on BIRTHERS, where are you on the Mormon wonder boy ?
You are a moron. Even though he was born in Mexico Mitt's father was still a US citizen, as people born out of the country to a citizen parent are citizens themselves.
