In the outer cosmos of the blogosphere, the presidential election isn’t over.
Barack Obama, now busily forming his administration, isn’t just the wrong person to lead the nation, claim Web sites such as America Must Know and Right Side News.
He is, they contend, constitutionally ineligible to be president.
The argument is over his place of birth — Hawaii, if you accept statements by Hawaiian officials, his 1961 birth notice in a Honolulu newspaper and a certified document his campaign obtained 18 months ago.
Still, legions of anti-Obama bloggers are so convinced he was born in Kenya that they’ve filed more than a dozen lawsuits nationwide.
They cite the Constitution’s requirement that presidents be "natural born citizens." They want the election declared void if Obama doesn’t deliver an original birth certificate — subject to an inspection by forensic experts — to be sure.
One litigant’s U.S. Supreme Court filing is scheduled to be discussed in private by the justices later this week.
Justice Clarence Thomas distributed to his colleagues a request that the high court weigh in before the Electoral College makes Obama’s victory official later this month. The justices may decide in a Friday conference whether to hear or cast away a lawsuit dismissed in a lower court and appealed by a retired New Jersey lawyer named Leo C. Donofrio, who also has his own Web site.
Yet another site, PeoplesPassions.org, beckons the president-elect: “If you’re eligible, show us the proof!”
Obama's campaign tried to settle all doubts months ago when it digitally scanned for all Web browsers to view a “certification of live birth,” signed by Hawaii’s registrar of vital statistics and carrying the state’s seal.
The skeptics response of "fake" prompted Brooks Jackson, who directs the nonpartisan FactCheck.org, to call the entire affair “the stupidest, silliest thing.”

“Why do bloggers continue to press issue of Obama’s birthplace?”
Bloggers no longer press issue with the birth place. They KNOW where the birth place is.
The question is: Why do journalists continue denying it ?
All you need to know is right here; http://sites.google.com/site/obamabirth/
So they ask “Why do bloggers continue to press issue of Obama’s birthplace?” instead of asking “Why are we going out of business?” .. or “Why can’t we seem to understand that people don’t like to buy our agenda, lies and propaganda?” .. nope, no ‘smack themselves in the forehead’ moments quite yet.
When BO went to see his granny, the real purpose of the trip was that he went to see the governor of Hawaii (a Republican, no less), and got her to agree to lock up any records on his Deer Leeder self in Hawaii.
Did BO have FBI files on the governor, or coerce her in some other way?? Or is she just a spaghetti-spined RINO? Or maybe he just promised her oodles of Federal funds for her state ...
Because it matters and the MSM will not touch it
Bingo!
I don’t think something as bad as being a Muslim in these times would have stopped the people that voted for him. His charisma trumped all. McCain would not have said that anything was wrong with him being a Muslim because McCain was so afraid and lame. I honestly don’t think it would have hurt him.
The other side must be getting worried.
Wrong question. Why does Obamanation continue to stonewall when a simple release of documents would put all questions to rest?

Someone has to find the truth.
I don’t even want to go to McCatcha news so I’ll just say this.
Why are you trying so so hard to help cover up an obvious lie?
Otherwise we would have a real proof long ago.
Enjoy the inauguration. Hope you have front row seats.
I have yet to jump into another thread about what if Hitler had to face the internet?
The MSM is the steam engines of the past, they cannot go far unless they have enough steam, they spout clouds of hot air and excess steam, they require many man hours of maintenance.
The MSM is engines of communication of yesteryear, they are cost ineffective dinosaurs in an age of instant news, instant opinions and instant communication.
They fear the internet because they are the new locomotives that are able to operate with minimal manpower, cover long distances and require minimal maintenance.
The MSM was for decades able to manipulate buying habits, political views and did so because their was no competition short of recent advancements of Ham radio and CB or the telephone.
They must condemn anything that threatens their existence.
Free Republic, blogs and talk radio, however have all been growing in that same time frame. Free Republic currently reaches over 2 Million people according to Quantcast.
Why? Because we want to! :-)

Do you think he would have still gotten the Jewish vote?
Are you crazy? I will wear a black arm band...the entire day.
