Obama was being damaged by the BC issue.
The ‘new’ long form BC looks like another forgery from the left.
The bigger issue IMO surrounded the issue of whether he became and Indonesian citizen when adopted by Lolo, whether he registered as a foreign student for aid and whether he used a foreign passport to go to Pakistan and of course the way he obtained his SS number.
The new BC was released to coincide with the take down of OBL. There can be no doubt of this.
Brilliant politically.
His background is now politically a dry well not worth anymore effort.
The unemployment rate is currently 9% (the real rate is >15%) No President has been reelected when the rate has been >8%. Energy prices will continue to rise, raising the price of food and everything else. The debt and deficit are still out of control.
Don’t fight the battle on unfavorable terrain that favors the enemy, fight the battle on favorable terrain and under conditions that favor a victory.
IOW don’t obsess on a politically unfavorable whether you are right or not doesn’t matter defeating the enemy is the goal, how is a secondary concern. In truth I would rather see Obama diseased ideology repudiated with Obama than getting him out on a ‘technicality’ even though we know he is there illegally.
There is really only **one** thing that sets my teeth on edge: SCAMMING THE SYSTEM!
Why?
Because if the "system" ( elections, rule of law, courts, police) remain honest, then **anything** done by stupid politicians is **self-correcting**!!! Eventually, by means of natural consequences, the voters come to know when a party's economic and foreign policies are STUPID! They **will** vote them out and demand better policies when the pain gets great enough.
Ignoring Obama's eligibility is allowing the system to be scammed. Eventually there will be no system. We may even have elections but they will be meaningless.
The Constitution is not a mere technicality. Obama’s a lousy president, but that’s not the issue. As a matter of fact, I would consider that to be the technicality. Protecting our Constitutional government is what really matters.
