Certainly Obama has known and probably many other Dems in high places as well. They were running a gamble. No need to disclose if he doesn't win since presenting fraudulent documents might have resulted in his removal from the Senate; and if he does win, the likelihood of any sufficient challenge would be small. But sustaining the "will of the people" argument does not hold water. There would be a significant number of people who would not have voted for Obama if they had known (thanks, MSM) that he was not a natural born citizen. Not a majority, but enough to have turned the election. Oh those nasty details of that pesky little document---the Constitution.
I too have thought people in high places have known something was not right about all of this. I have looked into the eyes of Obama and on the night of his Chicago celebration I saw not a panic of sorts — not the deer in t headlights look but a pensive look. Another look earlier in the campaign was “mean eyes”.
Wow, thanks Faith.
That is the best reasoning I have heard as to why Obama has not revealed his citizen status.

He would have been replaced on the ticket, and that is where Hillary’s team handled the situation badly, counting on Republicans to do the job for her.
