What I should have been more clear about was, could the markets be signalling there is something to this. But it is really hard to know what the markets are signalling anymore. It’s like a patient with total organ failure.
The MSM has almost totally ignored the issue of Obama’s possible ineligibility, and when the do mention it, they write off the whole issue as the ravings of a bunch of right-wing kooks. Public awareness of this process is very low. Of all the situations that could cause (or contribute to) a market collapse, I just don’t think the fear of an unresolved election is high on the list. Of course, if the whole Obama thing starts to unravel, such as by an unfavorable Supreme Court ruling (which I don’t expect), all bets are off.
