If the "natural-born" issue is so obvious and compelling, why, then, did nobody -- nary a soul -- among every lawyer, professor politician or public official of any sort raise this question regarding Obama's eligibility after he announced his candidacy?

Even George Romney's birth in Mexico was an issue when he ran for the Republican nomination in 1968.

But any objections regarding Obama's father not being a citizen in 2008? Nary a peep. At least, not an audible one.

Not until after the election. Not until after the true location of his birth had become a credible question.

Fear mostly. Fear of being labelled a racist by the liberal mainstream media. Roger Ailes shut down any dissent from commentators on FOX news.
