I believe to those who believe Barack Obama is not qualified Constitutionally to hold the office of POTUS, he is recognized as “de facto President in posse” and as “de jure President in posse.” That doesn’t fit neatly onto an envelope.

Nor very likely would having addressed a letter as this man did be recognized as an admission against interest before any tribunal.

Lakin could have simply addressed the letter “Barack Obama”. You can bet that the proscution will attempt to introduce the letter if there is to be a court martial.
There are Obama eligibility lawsuits that have been filed against “Barry Soetoro.” What’s in a name?

There is an established protocol for addressing the man who occupies the office of POTUS. The addressing of the letter followed that protocol. Even those who do not believe Obama is Constitutionally eligible still address him as “Mr. President.” It’s just proper etiquette.
