Could somebody please help me to understand something?

I’m talking about the Alice in Wonderland situation in the U.S. Senate on this Tues. Jan. 6, 2009, the day all the newly elected Senators are seated.

For instance, look how vastly different the Senate has handled two highly explosive situations: The appointment of Illinois Senator Burris vs. the presidential eligibility of President-elect Obama.

1. Appointed Illinois Senator Burris.

2. Unbelievably, the Senate today denied Burris his legally appointed seat, because, according to news reports, Burris did not have the proper credentials and the Illinois Secretary of State did not or will not sign the proper certification papers.

3. As we all know, for the past week, Senate leaders have threatened this and threatened that to try to keep Burris out of the Senate.

4. Senate leaders have gone on talk shows to explain how the Burris appointment is somehow illegal or illegitimate or tainted, because, according to Senate leaders, the recently arrested governor of Illinois somehow does NOT have the right or power any longer to make such an appointment.

5. Obama presidential eligibility mess: Now let’s look at how the good Senators are treating president-elect Obama’s eligibility mess in this Senate Alice in Wonderland atmosphere.

6. Question: Do I see Senate leaders and other Senators publicly outraged and loudly threatening to refuse to accept the Obama Electoral College votes on Jan. 9 until president-elect Obama proves that he is eligible to be President of the United States under the laws of the Constitution of the United States?

7. No.

8. Question: Do I see Senate Leader Reid of Nevada, who claims to be a trial lawyer, running around and appearing on talk shows—like he has been doing recently to publicly condemn Burris Illinois senate appointment— shouting about how Obama’s election was tainted and how Obama has not provided one single document to prove that he is eligible to be President of the United States under the laws of the Constitution of the United States?

9. No.

10. Instead, Sen. Reid of Nevada and the other Senators will probably quietly pretend that president-elect Obama is absolutely clean, and they will probably greet the President-elect on Jan. 9 with open arms and broad smiles as they easily accept the Obama Electoral College votes on Jan. 9, 2009 that make Obama the next President of the United States.

11. Yes, 99 out of 100 good Senators—remember, one legally appointed Senator from Illinois was rejected by the Senate—–has turned the hallowed Senate chamber into something out of Alice in Wonderland, where what is supposed to be real is unreal, and what is supposed to be unreal is also unreal.

(NOTE: I have never lived in Illinois, and I don’t live in a nearby state. So, I knew very little about Illinois politics until Obama began running for president. )

NOTE: Illinois Secretary of State. He/she does not seem to want to certify the legally appointed Burris for Senator.

a. My question is this: If the Secretary of State of Illinois won’t certify Burris, then how in the world did the same Illinois Secretary of State certify Obama to run for President of the United States in Illnois?

b. That is, what valid documents did Obama provide to the Illinois Secretary of State that proved that Obama was eligible to be President of the United States under the laws of the Constitution of the United State?

c. My suggestion: I say that someone should sue the Illinois Secretary of State so that the Secretary of State can explain why it won’t certify Burris but somehow certified Obama.

NOTE: If the Illinois Secretary of State won’t certify Burris for Senator, then I wonder how the same Illinois Secretary of State certified Obama when he was elected a Senator from Illinois.

That is, what documents did Obama provide to the Illinois Secretary of State to prove that he was at least 30 years old and an American citizen as required by the Constitution of the United States? Could someone help me with this question?

“Could someone help me with this question?”

What you brought up with Burris shows how the SoS’s are corrupt and only choose to do their jobs when it is expedient for them.

But it’s much worse than just the SoSs, which is bad enough, but when it comes to Obama, and you look at what has to happen for basically the entirety of the elected government to not point out the obvious fact that he’s not eligible.

It’s Republican leaders and Democratic leaders. It’s basically ALL of them. Someone with a british citizen father, who took his name, writes books about him, spends time not only in his homeland but activly participates in the highest levels of government, amongst a million other things, and NOBODY points out that he’s not qualified? Everybody signs off on the guy? They know, and are going along with it.
