Is he or isn't he?
.
That's the big question. About who? Obama. I know - everyone thought it was settled during the presidential campaign - a judge threw the first lawsuit out of court. You know which one, the case of Obama's "origins": No - not questioning his race - people are not asking if he is black or white. NO... What they want to know - is he really a citizen. Yeah. Inquiring mind's want to know. And who can blame them?
.
I got an email from a couple of concerned people, who probably forgot I was even on their collective email list, asking me to sign a petition to have the facts revealed - is he a citizen or not.
I politely wrote back to my friends that their efforts would be in vain - there wouldn't be a court in the country who would hear such a case - not simply because the suit had been dismissed earlier, but because Obama is THE chosen leader of our nation. If indeed it was shown that his citizenship was invalid, only then would the courts or the legislature step in - to validate it.

Some people think I'm crazy, yet unknown to those folks, I do have a grasp on reality, and I knew this would happen... "The Supreme Court has turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man who says President-elect Barack Obama is ineligible to be president because he was a British subject at birth.
.
The court did not comment on its order Monday rejecting the call by Leo Donofrio of East Brunswick, N.J., to intervene in the presidential election. Donofrio says that since Obama had dual nationality at birth — his mother was American and his Kenyan father at the time was a British subject — he cannot possibly be a "natural born citizen," one of the requirements the Constitution lists for eligibility to be president.
.
Donofrio also contends that two other candidates, Republican John McCain and Socialist Workers candidate Roger Calero, also are not natural-born citizens and thus ineligible to be president." - Source (That said: "At least one other appeal over Obama's citizenship remains at the court." Good luck with that.)

So welcome to the new United States of America. The people voted. Gosh - it's so over folks - he's the Prez. I'm as unhappy about it as the next man. (Big surprise here: I didn't want him to be President. And now maybe some of his liberal buddies are not so happy about it either - that story here.)
