And anybody who thinks that Mrs. Clinton would be preferable to President-elect Obama needs his or her head examined.

Do I need my head examined for expecting the 2nd amendment to be upheld too?

If you can see a big difference in the private gun ownership policies of Clinton vs. Obama, sure, I'd like to examine your head. You're seeing things the rest of us don't.

If you were referring to Article II of the Constitution, then no, you don't need your head examined for expecting that it be upheld except that it's as stupid rule. It's original intent was liberal creep Thomas Jefferson's desire to prevent the co-founder of American Conservativism, Alexander Hamilton, from becoming President. Jefferson wasn't a "natural born citizen" either, as the United States only came into existence after the ratification of the document.

Meanwhile, had he been elected, John McCain WOULD have been eligible, despite the fact that he, too, was not a natural born citizen under the letter of the law. This was due to a supreme court ruling, and not an amendment to the Constitution. In other words, the original concept was flawed, and the entire process has become outdated.

Barak Obama is clearly not the udeal example of a US citizen, but he's the one we elected.
