Now that Obama has announced his bid for re-election....

Any word on whether anyone's expecting the House or States to verify the eligibility of Randal Terry, Fred Karger, Andy Martin, Jimmy McMillan -- all of whom have also announced their candidacy? Props, BTW, on upping the stature of the Republicant field by getting Jimmy "The Rest Is Too Damn High" McMillan to run as a Republicant!

Since I think we all know our President is eligible and was definitely born in the United States my opinion is if anyone on either the state or federal level wastes a single minute on this political character assassination they should be recalled or impeached! We've got enough pressing issues to worry about at every level of our government, don't you think? If the Republicans or any other party (or "non-party as far as that goes) are totally dissatisfied with the job President Obama is doing, let them run someone who can do better! I'd never seen the opposing party try to discredit a President instead of trying to beat him fair and square before President Clinton but that was nothing compared to what they're trying to do to Obama.

I agree this should be done, if noting else, to shut people up over the situation. A lot of states have passed laws for this purpose. I am not sure if boehner will do it, but I think the states will. At least a few of them and that should settle the case. Maybe we wont need to worry about him running again!

"Now that Obama has announced his bid for re-election," it is time to drag out the shovels and rain boots. It is going to be neck deep in political muck by the end of the summer.

I personally don't think there is any issue with Obama's place of birth, but I agree with you that innocent people should have nothing to hide, and that everyone should follow the same processes. Something else I heard was that Donald Trump was thinking of running, and that there was an issue with his birth certificate not being official because it wasn't signed properly.

Because he is the messiah and above the law. With his unaccountable CZARs, secret meetings, zero transparency, and his end runs around congress, he has illustrated his utter contempt for the law and the constitution. Not to mention his new illegal war. With the press in his pocket who is going to call him on eligibility? There are a couple of states attempting to pass laws to make it illegal to put a candidate on the ballot without proving eligiblity. Maybe that will work if it gets through their respective state houses in time. I personally think congress is afraid of the issue because of the dishonest left wing press. There is something on there he doesnt want us to see.

If he obeyed the law he would be put out now for he hasnt proved anything to me that he is eligble right now

Yes I think he is a very straight up guy and likes things doen by the book, don't believe he is scared of Obama and was elected because of his by the book attitude, he is very well liked here in Ohio where he is from and he went to Washington to try and make things better for us, and if it says you much show proof of citizenship, then he will want to see it. I don't understand the whole idea of I'm not showing, leaves me to think that he is hiding something. NO I do not believe he is a citizen, nor do I believe he should be in office. And who in their right mind would vote for him again. But then as I look at who all they say is running, what a choice we would have.

You mean to say Obama has anounced that he will be taking his re-election because unless a shift way from the GOP happens the GOP won't be able to get their collective heads out from you know where. I mean really they will put some person up their that the American people will be like we aren't voting for that wackjob and so Obama will get his next 4 years so then the GOP can put in who ever they choose. That is how these two parties work they aren't going to even try to make him a one term president and the only GOP that could do it they won't run as he isn't a christian wackjob that believes God is the highest order in the land. As for Obama's eligibility well Congress will go yeah he is eligible because well you can find out why online in a number of different places and the GOP have already came out and said how they feel which is what oh what 85-90% of the country has believed the craziness of the Birthers (shows a good sign that a good chunk of this country didn't fall for that garbage.) So the question should be you ready for it to look like the GOP want to win and then put up a candidate that isn't close. Oh and it will be getting thick this summer as people are going to be all Obama this Obama that and we can do this and we can do that. Don't worry though the GOP will shoot themselves in the foot so many times that by election time the GOP will see a loss and the Dems will get it back and the Status Que will be uninterupted Go back to bed america your government is in control.
