By the way, do you remember how desperately CBS news tried to prove that George W. Bush was ineligible to serve as president and how the media supported that claim.

If memory serves me, George W. Bush had to produce all his military records, from his initial enlistment contract, up to his final discharge including all of his dental, medical and pay records along with this original birth certificate.

CBS claimed he was not eligible according to a reason that isn’t even in the Constitution under the eligibility requirements for the office of president, that because he had been AWOL he was not eligible to serve in the federal government.

And yet you are willing to allow Obama to avoid any test of his eligibility because The Media ignores it, the Congress won’t touch it, our court system refuses to allow it to be challenged in a court of law, and now the Armed Forces won’t even ask for his original birth certificate like any other citizen would have to produce to serve in our military, much less be its commander in chief.

All we have really been asking for is that his birth certificate be examined in a court of law so that the question of his eligibility can be laid to rest one way or the other legally.

I remember the AWOL accusation, but I don't recall CBS claiming President Bush was not eligible to be President.

Can you post a link?

“By the way, do you remember how desperately CBS news tried to prove that George W. Bush was ineligible to serve as president and how the media supported that claim.”

Nope. I never heard anyone claim GWB was ineligible until AFTER the US Supreme Court shut down the Florida court. Then we had several members of the US Navy squadron I was attached to at the time object that GWB wasn’t legally President. They were told to obey or go to jail, and they prudently decided to do the former.

“If memory serves me, George W. Bush had to produce all his military records, from his initial enlistment contract, up to his final discharge including all of his dental, medical and pay records along with this original birth certificate.”

Your memory is wrong, and no one in the military tried to force him to reveal any personal records.
