(1) In all even if Obama is a US citizen which 65% likely chances he is, this gives further credence as to why we have the Electoral College. All differences aside, and all birth certificate legalities aside as well, what if this was to happen down the road with uninformed voters and, dare I say it, the young. A popular vote system could lead the country to elect a possible Manchurian candidate with no checks after Election Day.

(2) Steve, knowing where you stand, if a Republican who was found out to be a citizen of another nation was elected to the highest office in the land, would you raise holy hell? The electoral system is to prevent subtle "incursions" shall I say at a time when the monarchy could easily place a well liked guy in the US and get him elected a la Confederates/Mexico.

 

1. A 65% chance.

2. Actually, no, I don't think I would.  I did comment on McCain's birthplace in an old thread but only to point out the stupidity of the claims against Obama.  Then you answered that McCain's father was an Admiral, I responded by laughing at you; apperantly we have an Aristocracy in the US.

I am very skeptical of conspiracies and such; you could even say I am pro-Conspiracy.  I really believe that people who are pushing this issue because they are fearful bigots.  They don't like that the Boss has a muslim sounding name and spent a lot of time abroad with out a uniform.  These are the people who are afraid of science, promote unecessary wars, and are generally hateful.  They purposely impede education of all, out of fear that minority kids will be able to compete with them and their children.  They do hide behind religion and guns, and they slow progress in general.
