It really doesnt matter: during the allotted break at work there were no less than 4 people nodding at each other how unequivocally Obama should be re-elected. Not only that, but he’s better than Clinton.

What difference does Obama’s eligiblity matter if his performance itself has no bearing?

When I pointed out how anti-business Obama’s policies are, the ONLY response I received were: BUSH!

I pointed out that BUSH is no longer president, and that Reagan inherited FAR worse economic situation from Carter than Obama and turned it around so WELL that he was re-elected in a landslide.

The response was how badly BUSH increased the deficit and that’s WHY Obama is struggling.

I told them that I paid my rent for nearly a year entirely on the interest of money I’d accumulated while going through basic training and tech school.

My fellow worker-Obots don’t like me much; frankly I believe it to be a lost cause. Case in point: most “conservatives” believe Romney to be a decent option.

For people such as this, there should be no actual voting rights. BO could be an actor on a reality TV show pretending to be the president, and these people could "vote" for him and watch his show -- because that's all it is, a show, entertainment. It's not real voting for responsible, thinking people who love their country and are concerned about its future.

For everyone else, there can be real voting rights for real presidential candidates in real elections, for real governance of the country. Not entertainment, just the "politics is for old people" group*. :)

*(I heard this sentiment expressed by a young twentysomething man at a forum that concerned, as I recall, the placement of BO on the ballot in NH.)

No difference at all -- if you don't consider the US to be a Constitutional Republic
