All this “wild and meaningless speculation” would be cut short by the release of the vault copy of his birth certificate.
So, if anyone is to blame for all this wild speculation, its Obama.
Oh, he's to blame all right. I just can't think of anyway to old him to account.
To be clear, I think he probably isn't eligible even he was born in HI, and he clearly isn't if he was born someplace outside the US. But, the time to adjudicate that would have been before the Inauguration.
All effort now should be put into the passage of these state-wide initiatives that clarify and define what documents need to be presented to the state before a name can go on the state ballot.
