If Obama IS eligible to be President, why is his attorney fighting so hard to get the challenge thrown out? THAT is the question.

Standard legal tactic. Why put yourself at any risk for an adverse ruling when you can get the whole thing tossed, even if temporarily, on a "standing" issue.

If Obama IS eligible to be President, why is his attorney fighting so hard to get the challenge thrown out? THAT is the question.

If Obama IS eligible to be President, why should he do anything in a low level court that could jeopardize it?

If Obama IS NOT eligible to be President, why should he do anything in a low level court that could jeopardize it?

Like kevkrom says, "Standard Legal Tactic." The lawyers would be incompetent if they did anything differently.

That was my reaction as well. Just prove up that he’s eligible and be done with it.

AND if little barry bastard commie is not the nominee of the democrat party, why is there a staff of attorney drones trying to stop any challenges to his eligibility on the Floriduh ballot?

I do not in any way consider myself a birther. My concern has alway been the odd way Obama continually ducks providing the necessary evidence that would establish his eligibility. I don’t know where Obama was born, but wouldn’t it just be much simpler to pay the 25 bucks to get a certified copy from Hawaii and be done with all of this. The extent that he, and his surrogates go to to avoid showing proof of eligibility (which is mandated by the Constitution, by the way), tends to make me believe that he is not eligible. What I guess I am saying, is that I don’t listen to Donald Trump or Orly or anyone else. I just watch Obama, and he is clearly being evasive. The burden of proof is on him, and him alone.
