For weeks bloggers have been asking this (seemingly) rhetorical question . . . why haven’t the MSM picked up on the explosive nature of the lawsuits questioning Obama’s eligibility to run for POTUS? We have the first person of color, elected to serve as the president of the most powerful nation on earth, multiple lawsuits have been filed questioning if Obama was ever eligible to run . . . and there’s a virtual news blackout. Hmm, what’s wrong with this picture?

On its face, this may be one of the two or three most important news stories of the decade, so why the blackout? The Donofrio lawsuit isn’t anchored to the “standing” issues that have plagued Berg and others. Mr. Donofrio’s suit alleges ineligibility because Barack’s father was a British citizen at the time of his birth, therefore Barack held dual citizenship thus him making ineligible to run for the office of president.

Think about this, Donofrio’s case will be discussed in conference by the United States Supreme Court ( docket no. 08A407, Donofrio v. Wells) on Dec. 5th . . . ten days before the Electoral College meets and the sound you hear is silence. If the Supremes decide this case has merit, lawyers will be arguing this case in front of the highest court in the land! Gosh, maybe it’s me but this seems more important than Palin pardoning a turkey.

I’ve finally come up with two reasons for this intransigence, the only ones left in my estimation, other than the MSM has suddenly turned stupid. Their refusal to investigate Obama’s eligibility and the potential for a Constitutional crisis is either cowardice or MSM has always known about Obama’s ineligibility problems and chose to intentionally keep this information away from the general public. If it turns out that Obama was never eligible to run for POTUS, as determined by the Supreme Court, then the MSM will have been complicit in a cover-up bigger than any fraud perpetrated by Nixon and his gang of Watergate conspirators.

Some have suggested that the MSM’s cowardice is because they “fear” racial strife, riots, and worse. To which I would say these kinds of thoughts have been put out there by the MSM itself. Candidly, I have always been surprised that leaders in the black community haven’t come forward to condemn this stereotypical image of black violence in our community. Leaders in the black community should condemn this stereotyping as it demeans the black community and all of America. Further, if the MSM really felt that violence was/is a possibility, why haven’t there been shows on the futility of violence, or discussions about how all American’s need to come together and not pulled apart despite disappointment in individual politicians.

Should it turn out that Obama was always ineligible,  we can still be proud that this country demonstrated it could elect a black man, a man of color, of mixed heritage to the office of POTUS. There was no “Bradley effect” . . . Obama won because people of all ethnicities voted for him. Nothing changes that fact! Regardless of ultimate outcome of Obama’s eligibility for the office, let me say again, nothing changes that fact. We have grown as a nation. We can be proud of that growth.

If it turns out that the MSM has been complicit in a cover-up, the consequences will be devastating, particularly for the voters who were swayed into voting for Obama by the CNN, MSNBC, the NY Times etc. The fourth estate will have destroyed itself, imploded on itself because of its own arrogance and lack of foresight.

Mr. Obama . . . end the speculation, step up to the plate, put your ambitions aside, be a patriot. If you love America, release all the pertinent documents so we can move on. History will not judge you kindly until and unless these eligibility issues are cleared up, once and for all. Doubt will hang over your presidency like a thick fog. The whispers will always be there, “he was a fraud.”

Here’s yet another voice asking why no birth certificate. (H/T Oil for Immigration)
