I don't think our country is particularly damaged by a handful of fools. There have been sore losers and crazy rumors after elections throughout American history. It seems "noisier" to us this year because we're hanging out in a forum where the paranoid are holding court. Out in the real world, folks have moved on to new topics--the birth certificate story has been added to the urban myths that people sometimes tell for a laugh.
People can try using Obama's presidency as an excuse for commiting tax evasion, etc. So what? It won't work, just like this current batch of silly lawsuits didn't work, and all that happens is they waste their own time and money
I don't mean it in a severe way, but they are being divisive and more so what I meant was they are wasting time and money of our court system, at a point in time where our country is in deep financial hot water.
Before I retired I came on CD once in awhile to the Wisconsin forum. That was about it for me. After I retired I discovered the other forums and, with the election approaching, started hanging out a lot on this forum. Because of the time spent on here, the "Obama isn't a citizen" goofiness has become a part of my daily life (almost). So I am always surprised, when going about in my real life, to discover that almost no one has even heard about this conspiracy theory. If I tell them about it they always think I am joking and laugh (to the point of spitting their soda all over the table).
Obama could have stopped this early on just by offering up his college records. I don't know what was on there that was so private that it couldn't be revealed. Maybe his grades really weren't that hot, maybe there was something about his citizenship status used to gain admission.
Why should Obama be held to different standards than those of is predecessors and fellow candidates? None of them are obligated to share their K-12 and college transcripts and applications. If it were a REQUIREMENT of the candidacy to supply these things I'm sure he would have.
And you can claim that his grades were not that hot but consider this-
As a fifth grader he was admitted to a prestigious private school in Hawaii on a scholarship. And that was not an athletic scholarship.
He went on to earn his undergraduate degree from Columbia University, one of the best institutions of higher learning in America.
He then gained acceptance to Harvard Law School. Ivy league and certainly the most prestigious law school, arguably, in the world. He was named President of the Harvard Law Review- which obviously implies that his instructors, administration and fellow students found him to be impressive and one of the best.
He graduated from Harvard Magna *** Laude- with great honor. He was among the top of his class.
I hardly think his grades were anything to be ashamed of. Ever.

I tried to rep you but I have to spread it around. My experience similar. Interestingly, I work in an office full of Republicans, some of them quite right-wing. No one has ever brought this up. My DH's office mate is a very conservative Repub. as well, and he did mention it to DH, who laughed it off, then asked me if I had heard about it on CD. I told him what I knew.
That is a terrific article - thanks for posting it. I love the conclusion:
So don't be too surprised if, sometime after Jan. 20, defendants in federal trials suddenly claim they can't be prosecuted. If Obama isn't really president, then laws he signs have no effect, Department of Justice prosecutors have no authority and judges he appoints aren't legally judges. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just part of the conspiracy.
If it werent the birth cert it would be something else. There are still people who believe the Clintons (usually Hillary) murdered all those people, were running drugs, etc.
There's a thread about Larry Sinclair's "book" coming out - his romance in the limo with Obama, plus special bonus: Obama's murdered gay lover in Chicago. This will become fact among the faithful if it isnt already.
I finally got to the point where I simply put those people on my Ignore list since I feel that if that's the silly arguments they want to make, then they really don't have anything worthwhile to listen to. If enough folks here did that they would eventually get the message and stop those kinds of silly posts - or realize that nobody is listening to them anymore and simply drift away. To me they really have reduced themselves to nothing more than trolls.

Good idea. I am going to to the same. It's a waste of time to attempt any type of debate with these silly posters.
The Biggest Scam in America ... Yet the Media Won't Report it
San Francisco - Are we living in the age of the Illegal Alien Presidency? Many prominent figures across the country believe so. The question everyone keeps wondering, yet the media refuses to report is, "Why is Obama using 3 law firms to protect a $10 birth certificate?" Some suggest Obama pulled the biggest scam ever in American history by not revealing his birth certificate for all the world to examine. It was reported today that Rahm Emmanuel and other DNC figures such as George Stephonopolus have a war room session every day with talking points to set the media agenda. Could this be why the media won't tell the American people the truth? Have they been sent memos by the new administration to stay away from reporting on this sealed birth certificate?
