Chris Nelson, who's retiring after two terms as South Dakota's secretary of state to challenge Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-S.D.), gets asked by Kevin Woster whether he believes President Obama is a citizen of the United States. Nelson doesn't know.

eeting the constitutional qualifications to be President is a very important issue. If President Obama isn’t constitutionally qualified, it would be the biggest scam ever perpetuated on the American people. MANY people contacted me as Secretary of State prior to and after the election asking how Obama could be on our ballot given this controversy. Absent a court finding that he isn’t a natural born citizen, we have to take the certification from the National Democratic Convention at face value.

Of course, most people have taken "at face value" Obama's certification of live birth from Hawaii, released by the campaign in 2008, as proof of where he was born. Interestingly, Nelson's less-well-established primary challengers don't take the bait, and blow off the question.

One of nobama’s “coverup” henchman is going to either spill the beans

I find it incredible that there's no one of the talent level of the fictional Ethan Hunt.

It's a diversion and it's even ceased to be curious. It's utterly POINTLESS.

It's pointless for one reason: even if Obama were to hold a press conference tomorrow and admit he was born in Kenya IT WOULDN'T MAKE A DAMNED BIT OF DIFFERENCE! He's not going to be impeached....they'll just ignore it.

I'm as right-wing as they come, but good Lord this stuff is tedious. It doesn't matter. There's no end-game. I doubt it would even stop him from getting the nomination in 2012.

Beyond that, though, the people who are obsessed with this just look like tinfoil hatters. If they look like that to ME - and they do - I can't imagine how they look to the general apolitical masses.

Eye on the prize. There's an election this year. Let's take some of this energy being expended on this nonsense and elect some conservatives to Congress!

Actually, his henchwomen have already slipped. The Hawaii Department of Health has already confirmed in 2 different ways, through official communications, that the Factcheck COLB is a forgery. I’ve got the communications and analysis at http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/red-flags-in-hawaii-2/

The trouble is that nobody in government, media, or law enforcement gives a rip. Some of them have actually participated in the hoax and all of them have participated in the cover-up. That’s the condition this country is in.

That’s what people need to know. This really isn’t about Obama at all. It’s about the lawlessness in every entity that’s supposed to provide accountability in this nation. Without that accountability and without justice this nation falls apart.
