Obama’s refusal to show his eligibility for office leaves him open to blackmail from domestic and foreign interests.
“Obamas refusal to show his eligibility for office leaves him open to blackmail from domestic and foreign interests.”
This is correct. While the American people are denied their redress on this issue in our courts and in Congress, the intelligence services in the capitols of our enemies are very well able to discover the truth about Obama’s origins, and use them against Obama and against the United States.
One of the problems for the "birther" side has been that there has been no justification put forward apart from the mandate of the Constitution. This leaves those demanding to see the documents opened to the charge that they are doing this out of political animus because, let's face it, whole sections of the country are indifferent to the Constitution. Once critics can claim that those demanding the documents are doing so out of political animus, it is only a half step to claiming racism and when that is done the argument is over. In fact, I assert that if Obama were white the outcry to produce the documents would be far louder and broader. The justification that the president is vulnerable to blackmail provides cover against that kind of demagoguery.
