“Unfortunantly not compelling enough for the media to run with it.”
____________-

The press has no law enforcement function or obligation. The COngress is the only legislative body that can bring charges against a sitting president. We hold the House. If this is going to result in any action, it has to come from Boehner. Maybe conservative allies in the House, such as West or Bachmann is where we have to turn, because I can’t see Boehner or Cantor stepping up.

There is a separate track developing on this whole Obamination issue that relates to the concept that the POTUS (as a person) is NOT above the law.

This theory implies that the POTUS can be charged, tried and convicted of a crime, but left in office. (A la Clinton’s obstruction of Justice.) Impeachment due to such behavior is a separate issue and remember that IMPEACHMENT is only CHARGING the POTUS with impeachable offenses. Any TRIAL takes place in Harry the Boob’s led Senate (at this time). (Remember the Clinton fiasco.)

So, (a) There is NO WAY that Ob would be removed from office (by the Senate) at this time with the “evidence” so far presented. (ie the case would not be strong enough to tip the balance in the Senate.)

(b) IF a case can be made, charged and prosecuted to and Ob is found GUILTY (ie that the Obamination has committed some felony with regard to his background), THEN the Senate would be forced to play their hand by common sense, following impeachment by the house.

It’s not going to be resolved overnight and not before November, IMHO. Someone once said that the wheels of justice in the US do grind, but they grind very slowly.
