Do you really think that Bush's Justice Department (staffed by former Clintonistas) neglected to do a background check on this guy? If there was something, they'd have found it and Hillary would have used it. Simple as that.
Maybe Hillary isn't as smart as you think? As for the Bush Justice Department, I would ask, "What Justice Department?" Do you mean the one that didn't investigate the missing "W's" on the WH computer keyboards; or the missing silverware; or maybe you were really impressed with how they handled the Sandy Berger affair.
You want me to infer something because of inaction on the part of Hillary or the Justice Department. But doesn't it make more sense to infer something from 0bama's action or inaction? Why wouldn't he just provide his birth certificate for a few bucks rather than have a gaggle of lawyers make procedural challenges? As far as I am concerned, so long as one if American has a question about 0bama's eligiblity he has to answer it. Modified, limited, hangouts died with Nixon. (Well, okay maybe Clinton revived them and they worked, but you shouldn't be impressed.)

Hillary let the BNC Question Slide, never thought of it.
Neither John McCain nor Sarah Palin wanted to mention the NBC question
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R) did not confirm Obama’s US Citizenship when Obama entered Senate in January 2005
Not one of the 538 members of the Electoral College questioned BHO’s status as a NBC
Not one of the 50 governors questioned his NBC
Not one of the 535 members of the House and Senate questioned his NBC status
The Four Strict Constructionist members of the SCOTUS have not yet been able to understand their argument.
And American citizens were not allowed to enter Pakistan in 1981 even though we were selling them f-16’s.
This particular asshat seems to love the argument from silence fallacy. Notice how it hasn’t even acknowledged that none of the so far conferenced cases have been thrown out, just the stays were denied?
Anyone with real experience in Washington over years knows full well that government bureaucracy, and DOJ is no exception, can miss things, make enormous mistakes and simply screw up. Look at what happened leading up to 9-11. In the immortal words of Norbert Wiener in “Cybernetics,” government is less than the sum of all its parts.
