Fast & Furious would never have happened if Nancy Pelosi did not sign her name confirming Obama’s eligibility (without verification) which Hawaii refused to do.
Obama’s eligibility is The Mother Of All that followed and that alone along with the issue of validating our US Constitution makes this issue more important than ALL others including the economy.
That said, I do not believe it should be an election issue and Mitt Romney should stay away from it. But this issue needs to be resolved whether or not Obama wins in november.
“Can’t we just get over it?”
No, because “it” is the US Constitution.
-——if Nancy Pelosi did not sign her name confirming Obama’s eligibility-——
She did not do that. She signed her name to a letter as chair of the Democrat convention stating that Obama was the certified nominee of the convention. It said nothing about eligibility.
I have a copy of the letter.
Precisely because there will be no small-business driven economic recovery where the rules are not rules, except for some. There is no way to calculate nor project any margin of profit in such an environment, and venture capital just won't be forthcoming.
The uncertainty of Obamacare alone (and now the continued uncertainty over repeal of any or all of it and the battles yet to be fought at the State level) all contribute to the lack of economic recovery. Even those small businesses in the few relatively prosperous areas of the country balk at hiring because of this.
It also does not escape me that two of the votes at SCOTUS in favor of the measure were Obama appointees, and one of those was involved in creating Obamacare and should have recused. Void those votes, with the appointments, and no Obamacare.
If the supreme law of the land is not upheld, there is no law, except at the State and local level; the Federal Government has lost its legitimacy.
