Anyone familiar with old dino's past posts about our termite Marxist-In-Chief knows I'm not Cloward and Piven shocked in the tiniest way.

Why wouldn't he have been eligible? He had an American mother. That made him an American citizen by birth rather than by naturalization. That means he was a natural born citizen. Same reason why John McCain was eligible even though not born in the US.

-1 for detachment from reality

Obama uses identity politics to divide America at every turn. In no version of reality does Obama object to identity politics, think its wrong, or any other negative connotation. In fact, it is his most widely used tool to get his way.

What I am looking forward to is the day that he is out of office. I just hope by then there is still some shred of our Constitution remaining.

What would be icing on the cake is if the next President actually investigates Obama's legitimacy and finds out that he actually wasn't eligible, thereby nullifying all his actions while serving as Executive.

Ask CG if he would have voted differently.

Had the voters known in 08 or 2012 they may not have risked putting him in the White House. He should have at least been asked about some of his associations.

sadlym knowing and seeing all we have, I think you are right. I wonder how much else the press did that went unnoticed before the didn't care if we knew them for what they were?

Oh, they vetted him all right. He was the embodiment of all that the press stood for. They only feigned objectivity. Isn't it ironic that journalists are called objective, and Objectivists are not?

I don't know if it reflects Obama's opinion, but there was a similar narrative in Acts of Faith, by Eboo Patel, who President Obama appointed to some committee. In the book, he describes people telling him how it's all based on identity groups (religion, race, ethnicity) and how alluring that narrative was. Then he gets involved with the YMCA and sees people working and solving problems and realizes the narrative about identity politics was wrong. I suspect President Obama may have taken a similar journey and that's what he's describing.

Hannity has been talking bo's association with Davis since before bo was elected the first time. It was under reported, but it wasn't a secret. It's in his book even... anybody who cared to know the truth looked for it. Most didn't.... and the reason for that is another topic.

Can't say I was either. More shocking to me was the complete lack of vetting by the press back then.

I wasn't shocked. I wonder how much will surface about him as his Presidency winds down and stories like this are meaningless.
