Perhaps the place to start is for George Bush to bring in sandbags around the White House, arm himself and use the White House Guard to prevent Obama from assuming the office in January. Boy that would show them.

Oh, I almost forgot, that pesky Constitution frowns on that sort of behavior. With all due respect folks, according to the Constitution, on January 20 Barack Obama, in point of legal fact, will be YOUR President. I don’t like it any more than you do, but unless you want to sound like all those idiots who continue to claim that Bush “stole” the election from Gore in 2000, then get real.

There is nothing in the Constitution that says you cannot criticize your President. In fact, the document protects that sort of protest (and the Obama administration will have to be frequently reminded of that). If the loyal opposition does not go about this smartly, we will be marginalized and utterly unsuccessful. Of course Kathy Nelson may prefer a more noisy sort of approach, after all that is the stock in trade of most of the blogosphere. But as valuable as that is, it is not necessarily where true change occurs.

Wisdom is not appeasement. Be wise or be marginalized.

“That pesky Constitution” also says that in order to be President, you must be “Natural born”.
Despite a spate of lawsuits from a number of corners, NObama still is stonewalling and will NOT produce a valid USA birth cert. Don’t even come back with “he has a COLB” from Hawaii=he was born there. NObama’s 1/2 sister, Maya also has a COLB from Hawaii and shw was born in Jakarta, Indonesia.

I want him to produce a true BIRTH CERTIFICATE, which is what I have- you have- and those of us here on FR have.

Unless some Patriot Hawaiian civil servant leaks a copy of his birth certificate before mid December. Or some elector successfully files suit, I guess an elector would have Standing, to force it's production.
