“...I was not convinced myself. Very flimsy stuff. A lot of the stuff people offered was just flat out wrong information.”

The biggest part of this shell game is that Obama and his operatives have convinced most of America that we have the burden of proving O is unqualified. While they at the same time have “sealed” and in one instance forged the very record that would be used for such purpose.

It is exactly the opposite, O has always had the burden of proving he is qualified. He acknowledged that burden when he signed or arranged for his agent(s) to sign each state’s primary election certification that he was qualified/eligible for the office of the president. Such execution was made, of course, under penalty of perjury.

Later, during the January 8, 2009 Joint Session called solely for the purpose of assuring America that the election was conducted properly, Obama had the burden of satisfying any request by Congress to demonstrate his citizenship (see 20th Amendment, “…if the President elect shall have failed to qualify…” as well as 3 USC 15).

Every liberal I have argued with has conceded that Obama was obligated to produce, or to authorize the production by Hawaii, of a verifiably authentic BC if Congress had required such prior to accepting the work of the Electoral College.

Should Congress have requested that document?
Without qeustion, particularly in the face of the substantial pre-election concern and outrage transmitted to Congress over the fact that there was absolutely nothing in the public record that demonstrated O was a U.S. citizen.

He may be qualified, but there is no reason to believe so and Congress had a duty to the nation to act on the issue.

Which is why I have previously stated that every single Republican in Congress was seduced into going limp and sitting on their hands during the Session.
