piss on the cowards on the us supreme court

I think they should have taken the case just to end this controversy once and for all. Personally, I believe that Obama is eligible but, as is evident on this board and on many locations on the web, there are those who don't or who are unsure, so this issue will always divide us. I have to wonder if they considered themselves to be incapable...and that concerns me a lot.

let me clarify thing here, first off, you think Obama is not qualified to be the US President because he is not eligible....why did you say so?

They didn't order him to prove his citizenship? OMG! I repeat: OMG!

If Obama isn't hiding anything and has presented the documents, in the past, to prove he is eligble, then why is he having such an issue with showing them again? If the DMV asks me for my birth certificate and I show it to them .. and then a few months later, I get a letter stating I need to come in and show it again because they don't have record of it - do you think I'm going to tell them "no"? That's silly. I would take it down there and show it to them again. What's the big deal? Honesty doesn't need to hide or cover things up - only lies do. If Mr. Obama is telling the truth and IS eligble and wants the people of this country to have faith in him, then he needs to produce them again and be done with it. You'd think he'd want to considering how simple of an act would cause such relief for so many of his fellow countrymen. I fear this man is not what he claims to be and I fear that this country was so gung-ho to elect a black man - that they turned the other cheek on issues that should have been examined whether he was white, black, yellow or brown.

This has been a topic about which I've tried to be very careful how I respond! I don't want to be accused of not caring about our Constitution; in fact, that's one of my biggest problems with our current Administration, the way Bush and Co. have treated our Constitution like, as Bush himself allegedly said, "Just a GD piece of paper". Yes, I DO support President Elect Obama, I have supported him for some time and I voted for him. I have high hopes for him and for our country and despite the fact I know many of not most here on myLot disagree with me I also know many Americans DO share my view. That doesn't mean I'd want him sworn in as President no matter what but frankly I don't take these allegations seriously at all. I can't help but wonder how it could possibly be that the current Administration, the RNC, the McCain campaign as well as those of McCain's opponents for the nomination and the conservative leaning Supreme Court have all allowed someone they seriously believe is ineligible to actually get so far as to be elected President. I don't watch Fox News hardly at all but I haven't heard that Sean Hannity and his pals have been saying a whole lot about this issue. Maybe I'm wrong about this but I have a feeling if Hannity had been railing about this someone here would have quoted him over and over again by now. I also can't imagine how somebody in the media, even if the media were as biased as the right claims it to be, wouldn't put their own gain ahead of their liberal leanings by really digging into this issue if they believed it had any merit. I care about the Constitution but I don't claim to be a Constitutional expert by any means so it would seem the right leaning Supreme Court must know something the rest of us don't or at least see it differently than the myLot conservatives do.

That constitutional crises we keep hearing about has finally arrived. No one has authority to check his qualifications until he is elected. He won't be elected until the electoral college meets. The tight connections of the party place the president, VP and speaker of the house in a position where they may all have to answer if he is proven to not be a citizen after the election and that's everyone the constitution recognizes as having a right of succession to the oval office. At best we will see the VP eliminated because his election was based on fraud and Nancy Pelosi gets 4 years in an office she wasn't elected to. All things considered we better hope he's constitutionally qualified.

I think that the Supreme Court is skirting the issue and for good reasons. Just imagine how difficult things will be if Obama turned out to be ineligible to hold office. With the many problems that the country is facing today, it would not be a good idea to cause some major upheavel by declaring the president elect as inelgible to assume into office.

I believe there's ample evidence even without the courts review of an official birth certificate to show that Obama is natural born. With what evidence we have, and all the trouble the country has been through during the past year, I'd have been surprised if the court did decide to hear the case. I think all this racket being raised about Obama's birth is just being raised by sore losers. The silver lining in the cloud for all of this, might I point out, is that if we find out Obama really was born in another country, not only will he be removed from office no matter how far into he is, he will forever be branded as a forked tongue liar who cheated his way into the White House. The golden child of the democratic party will be considered even worse than Bush in terms of dishonesty.

From what I understand & I could be so wrong here as so many stories have been passed around...who knows what is truth.....His mother was american and because she never married his father, that does make him legally american. He was raised here in America.

I do not believe that any political party would run an ineligible candidate as it would destroy their party if it ever came to light and it would be found out. I think it is quite clear that if Obama was not eligible someone would have proved it by now. There were enough anti Obama people to make sure that if he was not eligible he would have been exposed. I am Australian and our leaders take their seat the day after the election. I think this strange waiting period that gives Bush time to push through as much environmental sabotage bills as he can is ridiculous. Personally I think that the fuss over Obama's birth certificate is a very minor affair that some people think is way too important.

In all fairness I would like to say that the man championing the case Phillip Berg IS a Democrat. I would also like to add that Obama beat him for the Senate seat in 2004. The necessary documents have been provided, many people go to school overseas without losing citizenship. The supreme court has spoken, that's it, sorry. There are some on here who seem genuinely AFRAID of Obama being president. I worry for them and there well being and hope that they can try to support this country in such a hard time and lot live in such fear.

I don't think SCOTUS wants to be responsible for mass rioting that would ensue should the decision not favor the election results. They already took major flack because of the 2000 decision to OK Florida's certification of the vote count, thus handing President Bush the election. And that was a CLOSE election. This one wasn't so close. Obama was the clear winner. Now imagine the Supreme Court overturning that. Ouch. So it's not that I would disagree with SCOTUS, but I can understand them being unwilling to take the case.
