People are always throwing around the notion that because Congress is not going to investigate and impeach him, and no prosecutor is going to investigate, and no court wants to get involved hearing the merits of it, that questions about Obama’s eligibility should be just flushed down the memory hole and we should stop talking about it.
But these polls show that the long stonewalling by Obama and the questions surrounding what he has released do hurt Obama with the public.
It’s like his violating the Constitution and the War Powers Act to launch a war against Libya without authorization from Congress.
It’s true that Congress will never impeach him for his unconstitutional and illegal action. And it is unlikely any court will agree to hear any such case on the merits.
But still, his launching the Libya war does hurt him with a significant portion of the public.
These are negatives that with other issues have a cumulative impact on Obama’s image going into the reelection.
What I do not understand is how we have not impeached him because of starting an unnecessary war. We impeached Nixon, and I still don’t know the reason why we tossed him out. What did he do that merited impeachment?.
