<p>I would really like to know why at this late date, why we are still talking about whether or not Barack Obama is eligible to be the President. Unless I am completely wrong about the guy, I would think that a constitutional lawyer would know the Constitution.</p>
<p>There is a <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/12/supreme_court_is_choosing_the.html" target="_blank">case before the Supreme Court</a> alleging that Barack Obama is not eligible to the President and that his Hawaiian birth certificate is a fraud. WTF? What is even more disturbing is that Clarence Thomas is leading the charge into looking into this matter.</p>
<p>The challenge seems to be around the term <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen#Cases_in_other_courts_relating_specifically_to_the_.22natural_born_citizen.22_clause" target="_self">&#8220;natural born citizen.&#8221;</a> Now, unless Cesarean does not count towards being a naturally born citizen, how else could he have been born? Is there such thing as an artificially born citizen? I mean, seriously.</p>
<p>Here are the facts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Barack Obama won the election for President of the United States.</li>
<li>The Constitution is clear about the eligibility requirements and Obama studied the Constitution in law school.</li>
<li>Barack Obama meets all of eligiblity requirements.</li>
<li>There are those who still can&#8217;t get over the fact that he won.</li>
<li>There are those who are trying to manipulate the system and waste our money on frivolous suits.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08a407.htm" target="_self">Supreme Court</a> should rule and put the idea of &#8220;natural born citizen&#8221; to rest.</li>
<li>Clarence Thomas should stop hatin&#8217; on another brotha&#8217;.</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s time to move on and get ready to accept Barack Obama. Let&#8217;s face it, what are we going to do if they rule him ineligible? Can we really take much more George Bush? Does that mean that John McCain wins and we&#8217;re stuck with Sarah Palin? Oh the horror!!!</p>
<p>Dear Supreme Court Justices: Please stop picking the President!</p>
<p><strong>Update: On Monday, December 8, the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081208/ap_on_go_su_co/scotus_obama" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1228784366_0" class="yshortcuts" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">Supreme Court</span> turned down an emergency appeal</a> from a <span id="lw_1228784366_1" class="yshortcuts" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">New Jersey man</span> who says <span id="lw_1228784366_2" class="yshortcuts">President-elect</span> <span id="lw_1228784366_3" class="yshortcuts">Barack Obama</span> is ineligible to be president because he was a <span id="lw_1228784366_4" class="yshortcuts">British subject</span> at birth. </strong></p>
