I don’t understand part of this whole Obama background thing. If there is someone pulling the strings behind Obama, someone with big purse strings, why didn’t they find better people to do the job of creating this background? Too many knowledgeable people know what the groups of numbers in a social security number represent. Same thing with the COLB that was made public. Too easily disproved. People in power or behind the power don’t get there by being stupid or inept.

Maybe it was deliberate. Can you think of a bigger constitutional crisis than the one his ineligibility has caused?

No one is 'perfect'; and of course, what they really count on, is the stupidity of those they have to convince. . .
