I agree with many of your other points. However...

"Further more, the media reported the BC issue,(in a ridiculing way) Obama freely admitted his father was a British citizen, and the American people voted for him anyway. The people are Sovereign, and the people have spoken, courts will not be willing to overturn an election."

I would ask, how many of those citizens were informed enough about his being born with British Citizenship?

Prior to the election, I would venture a guess that perhaps 10%, maybe 20% of the voting population knew about the questions surrounding his B.C. and perhaps 1 to 2% of them knew about him being born with British citizenship. Prior to the election, so far as I know, Berg's lawsuit was the only one around (that some folks knew of), and he focused on the B.C. issue.

Sure, many knew his father was a foreigner. But did they "connect the dots" and realize (or read in their local rag) that he was born a citizen of the English crown? I doubt it.

Furthermore, simply because the state run media convinced the uneducated sheeple that Barry was the best thing since sliced bread, doesn't mean there is a legitimate issue there that needs to be addressed.

Don't forget that over 7,000 (presumably) voting age citizens (in 5 states) exercised their choice for someone that is clearly not Constitutionally qualified. That being Roger Calero, a foreign born green card holder.

Well I think we are actually in agreement. I agree that many Americans do not really pay much attention. And were not really aware.

However, I knew it, and enough people made an issue that his campaign posted the COLB, so this gives cover for Obama supporters to say the knowledge was available. It also gives the court cover to dodge the issue the same way.

Personally, I think the entire TV media (FOX too) does a very poor job providing relevant information to their audience. Yet, the information is available if a person is inclined to seek it out.
