One comment on the American Thinker web site sums it up quite nicely:

“All of this is very interesting, but the fact is Obama is president because he was elected president. It was not the media’s job to vet him; it is the voter’s job to vet the president or any other candidate. If they don’t, why blame the media? Actually, the media is but a bunch of pretty faces with empty heads. There is still the opposition party (which not only didn’t vet him, they didn’t use his middle name). There is the congress, which is supposed to control him and remove him from office if he commits high crimes and misdemeanors, but does nothing but make excuses and cry. Then there is the educational system. One would have to be brain dead not to see the control the marxists have over the education machine (Bill Ayers was a tenured professor in the Illinois college system, now collecting a healthy pension). No, the fault lies with the citizens who did not want t know. The US government produces nothing, yet is the biggest business in the country. The bureaucracy is permanent, and it is thoroughly corrupt. And the citizens put it in place and enable it every two years by electing or re-electing criminals and charlatans and meekly paying their taxes and supporting both big government and big education. Fools often get exactly what they ask for. Obama is just the end result of decades of corruption in government and acquiescence to it by the public.”

So what is the answer? Watch our country descend into darkness?

And there is the SCOTUS which is "evading" the issue. They aren't avoiding or sidestepping but evading. To evade means to knowingly and slyly sneaking around the subject. IOW, they know he's ineligible but are aiding and abetting in his criminal acts.
