Extremely good point. Discover the truth, verify it and stick to it. Just one silly rumor can do more to discredit good facts than a carload of lawyers with a year’s worth of time. But when truth and bullshit collide in a controlled manner, the effects can be spectacular.

Here is an example. The story states the following:

“he (Obama) has failed to meet one of the three requirements that the U.S. Constitution mandates, specifically that he provide proof of his “natural born” U.S. citizenship.”

In fact, the Constituiton does not require that anyone provide PROOF the he/she meets the citizenship requirement. It requires that they meet the requirement. How that is to be proved is not defined. That is part of the problem.

Good points. During his political career, Obama has shown his ability to use rules, or ambiguity in rules, to his advantage. Most people assumed the eligibility requirements would have already been vetted. In fact, it doesn't seem there's any requirement to PROVE eligibility. Who/what body will make him PROVE he's eligible?
