Obama hasn’t “marginalized” public opinion. The state of Hawaii has heavily influenced public opinion by declaring Barack Obama to be born in Honolulu and declaring that he is a “natural born American citizen.” That did the trick for a majority of people who had any interest in this issue but of course not all people, hence “the birthers.”

Trick is the appropriate word. The DOH shouldn't have to play 'tricks' on people when they can provide documentary evidence to back up the claims being made (of course, the one claim can definitely not be supported by any DOH document). And you need to focus on honesty instead of labeling people with silly names. It makes faithers look insecure.

Any US Senator along with any one US Congressman or woman could have challenged certifying Obama’s Electoral College votes when they were being counted and certified by Vice President Cheney at the joint Session of Congress.

I don't believe they were given a chance. And again, no senator or congressman wants to take a chance on being branded as a racist or some other silly name when they don't have a majority behind them.

“No guts, no glory.” If the Republican Governor of Hawaii and the Republican Attorney General of Hawaii and Vice President Cheney, John McCain and Sarah Palin plus the entire Republican delegation in Congress are allowing their employees to play tricks and are afraid to take action, whose fault is that?
Vice President Cheney, in his role as President of the Senate chaired the joint session of Congress where written objections to the certification of Obama’s electoral votes could be entertained and where counting and certification of the Electoral votes was the ONLY order of business. Any member of Congress can raise a point of order under the rules of both Houses, none did. A point of order immediately suspends business as usual.
One more time, ANY repeat ANY prosecuting attorney in the nation could launch a criminal probe and subpoena Obama’s birth records.
The only nationally known figure to challenge Obama in court is Alan Keyes and he’s hardly a household name. None of the top conservative law firms or political organizations have joined in any eligibility suit or even filed an amicus brief on behalf of any lawsuit.
The persons most likely to have legal standing to sue Obama because they were directly injured by his election are McCain and Palin. They have not sued or joined in any suit.
The Republican Party deals with Barack Obama as the duly elected president of the United States. They even invited him to their winter retreat and asked no questions about his eligiblity.
Obama is 63-0 in getting legal challenges dismissed, issuing decisions in his favor or rejected by courts all across the nation and at every level of the judicial system including seven rejections at the Supreme Court.
There’s no “there” there.
