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.

Along with the evidence that he was first born in  Kenya and there is
no record of him ever applying for  US citizenship, this is looking
pretty grim.  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.

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.
