There were plenty of people trying to do something BEFORE the election and we were poo poo’d into not focusing on this, but the ISSUES.

But we were also told it doesn’t matter UNLESS he is elected as he has done nothing wrong if not elected.

So now that he is, we should just let it go? Because he was elected?

Color me confused.

And seriously, the Consitution is important and popularity shouldn’t override the Constitution.

The Constitution contains provisions for its own amendment, and these provisions are by necessity popularity-dependent. If enough people want to amend it, then it’s perfectly Constitutional to amend it. I really don’t think the people pushing this issue have really thought through what would really happen if they “won”. They seem to be imagining that President-elect Obama would be promptly turned out of office, and somehow replaced with a President they like better. How exactly is this supposed to come about? The realistic fall-out would be widespread riots, further crashing of the financial and credit markets, and a fast-tracked Constitutional amendment making him — and all future Presidential candidates with similar birth circumstances — eligible.

There were no serious attempts to address this before the election, by any person or organization with the necessary expertise and credibility. Such people and organizations do exist, and I think they must have had very good reasons for not pursuing it — either that they believe/know he was in fact born in Hawaii, or that the fallout from showing he wasn’t would have been much worse than having him as President (i.e. Hillary Clinton as President, combined with violence-supporting radicalization of many black Americans).

What is interesting is how the MSM is covering this issue in a deft side-step method while slowly projecting us as amoonbats, loonies and dubious activists.

Now if SCOTUS dismisses our cases on Friday, guess what: this will confirm to MSM and to “our fellow americans”.

I understand that we have to hyphe and gain momentum but it sure does look to me like the set-up before a crash.

I had hopes so high on API and Michelle tape and we all know that it was a set-up to divert us from real issues.
