No. We have been demanding that Obama prove eligibility for office. I am very suspicious of how this problem has been framed from the outset, from at least June or even before, as being all about a birth certificate. It's not. It's about whether Obama can be President under the Constitution. There are many ways that eligibility can be in question. Narrowly focusing upon the birth certificate won't necessarily help matters, and it strikes me that opinion and efforts are being "shaped" in this direction.
It’s difficult to believe that there have been no faithless electors, in this, the strangest presidential election we’ve had in many years. It’s stranger than 2000, to be honest. You’d think there would have been at least one for Hillary, encouraged by the DNC as a sort of failsafe against efforts to disqualify Obama. You’d also think, given the widespread disaffection with McCain and the adulation accorded Palin, that at least one going to her would have been likely.
I’ll take anything I can get. The only reason I emphasize the birth certificate is that I’m convinced that one glance at it would serve to disqualify him.
