"What Carters message in his decision also means is that since Obama will be a incumbent President in the next election, no other upcoming challenging candidate will have standing either because he will still be the President during the next campaign because he was sworn in office in 09."

Yeah, I don't see it that way. While I don't believe any of the current challenges to him will prevail, I believe that there's every likelihood that challenges to his future would be heard, given of course the appropriate party brings that challenge.

Incumbency is immaterial to ballot access, and that's the real issue - Would Obama be eligible for the office and therefor eligible for ballot access?

I agree. Incumbency is IRRELEVANT to any new election. However, my major concern, is the precedent being set here AND not only that, ALL of his damage will have been long accomplished by then. It’s a dilemma that America is going to have to face NOW. I have two American cousins, both from Liberal States, but NOT in any way in support of this creep. They are ready to go to war (the streets) right now. How else are you going to save your country? How? Protests? He laughs at you. He will ONLY understand force pure and simple. I feel like a parrot but I’ll say it again, NO dictator or Communist has EVER been removed at the polls or peacefully. They come to the point, as he is, where HE and his minions, will control the elections process. I pray for you America. CO
