It has been said by David (courtesy ping) (my understanding, not his words) that those who can do something about 0bama need to wait until such time as public opinion is more “agin” than “fer”. I do think that time is almost here.

Well that's a little different than what I thought I said--maybe I misspoke.

With respect to a direct legal action seeking relief having him declared ineligible to be President, I don't see anyone presently pursuing an effective suit--yet. For a variety of reasons. Procedural legal issues; lack of a real substantive claim; and inadequate counsel being three of the most important at the moment.

I think the pending suits are helpful because they get facts demonstrating the merit of the claim before the public; in aid of a significant objective. Making the electorate aware that Obama is in fact not the President.

I view the current economic condition as involving seasonal factors and artificial stimulus none of which addresses the underlying debt problem and which is likely to end rather abruptly, probably in September. In conjunction with developing dissatisfaction with his policies, I think he is likely to wind up in a defensive political posture which will make it easier to bring the legal status to a head.

And the legal is not hopeless. There are persons with substantive standing to attack actual Presidential action. And further, I think there is a large body of military who clearly have standing and who are genuinely prejudiced by the absence of a Constitutional Commander in Chief.

The ideal military plaintiff would be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I doubt we have any chiefs with the requisite political fortitude or commitment to their oath. But events may force action. I continue to have real difficulty understanding how the military chiefs think they can continue to run the military under the circumstances.
