Why? Good question, grasshopper. The list of possibilities is long...just thinking out loud:
Human nature and the concept of race...(might lose the black vote? Why did Hillary start this effort then stop?) They really don't care, they're only there for the money? McCain said not to...Doing as told: Take one for the team? Lazy? Constitutional ignorance? Not worth the trouble since no one understands it anyway? The effort would get in the way of some other agenda? Could use it as blackmail later if he wins? Who cares, he can't beat us any way?
The list is as long as you and human nature can make it. What do they say when you ask them that question? I got a form letter when I asked.
With your expertise in our civics, do you know who certifies that a candidate is eligible? Have there been any legal challenges regarding obama?
Butterdezillion told us why they haven't touched it since. It's more of a "CYA and take the fifth" and/or lawyer up kind of approach you'd expect from a bunch of lawyers who know the potential penalties for not doing their job or worse.
Better to do the Alinsky and ridicule them as "Birthers" in public via the one stream media that does exactly as obama says with the "people pleaser" zeal of an adoring puppy.
Worked on you, didn't it?

Yep. In order to expose fraud that has taken place, they would have to call themselves out and admit their (at the least, tacit) complicity in the crime. This they will not do.
All of the potential motivations you cited are eminently plausible. If I were to say which factor were key in "Obama" and his handlers' success in their theft of the presidency, it was/is the racial aspect. For a whole host of reasons, nobody, and I mean NOBODY in a position to actually do anything about it wants to be responsible for discrediting/derailing America's First Black PresidentTM. It would unfortunately appear the guy is Too Black to Fail.
