Perhaps another reason being that obambi has yet to prove his citizenship.

So the “Office Of The President-elect” will remain an itinerant road show until the traditional American date.
Good.

Blair House has an interesting history. Postmaster General Blair lived there at the beginning of the Civil War, and it was there that Colonel Robert Edward Lee was offered field command of the Union Army, with the accompanied rank of Major General. The offer was made by Postmaster General Blair at the behest of President Lincoln and the War Department. The commanding general of the Army, Winfield Scott, thought very highly of Colonel Lee, and thought him the most able officer in the small regular army to command forces against the “rebellion” in the Cotton States.
Lee turned him down because he could not bring himself to turn his sword against his home state (or as he often called it “his country”) of Virginia. Shortly after turning down this offer, his resigned from the U.S. Army but was then offered command of the Virginia Militia within days.
I take no position on whether Lee was right or wrong to do this. However, I will say that as a general and human being he was a great man. Probably one of the most honorably persons on either side.
I bit about history for the day! :-)

Obama is grasping at anything to promote the deception that he is legitimate. Think of this as another attempt of the camel to stick his nose into the tent.
Obama’s behavior is beyond tacky. It's disgusting!

as he often called it his country I'm hardly an expert, but I've never heard this: Reference?

What's the best books on the shelves about General Lee?
Also, if you know of any good ones on Gen. Patton, MacArthur, and Westmoreland. I would appreciate those recommendations as well.
