Eligible to Serve?

Part 3-Too Close for Comfort?

-by 'tamerlane'


The ferocity of the Obot response to the eligibility questions is in itself telling. Does any doubt about the Messiah reap the foam-flecked attacks of Chris Mathews, or is this particular line of inquiry getting a little too close for comfort? The rabid reactions are so predictable:

It's racist! No, Article II applies to everybody, including Arnold and Madeleine Albright;

BO deserves privacy! If you want to be POTUS, you give up much of your privacy;

It's inappropriate! It apparently wasn't inappropriate to ask McCain about it, and he happily provided the proof;

It's the will of the people! It's the law of the land. And it's a good law, intended to ensure a president who will put America first.


More casual observers, lacking good info, tend to dismiss this as a crack-pot conspiracy theory. Their skepticism centers on:

Why didn't McCain or Hillary raise this issue? So they could be labeled "racist", "grasping at straws," or worse, with their political careers ruined? No thanks.

It's just too incredible. As are all Big Lies. The bigger and more audacious the lie, the easier it is to pass off.

Answer this: what's the harm in enforcing the eligibility requirements stipulated by our Constitution? We willingly produce ID for such trivial things as cashing a check or buying a drink, why not for POTUS?


Chimera
'Just trust me,' BO says. Why trust a man who has been caught lying about nearly every detail of his life story? Who refuses to release the documents all other candidates routinely do?

BO is clearly hiding something. Yet even the most skilled impostor leaves clues as to their true nature. We glimpse perhaps the quintessential Obama in this admission found in Dreams of My Father:

"As the words tumbled out of my mouth...a part of me really began to believe the story. But another part of me knew that what I was telling them was a lie, something I'd constructed from the scraps of information I had picked up from my mother...I had decided that I preferred ...an image I could alter on a whim-or ignore when convenient."
