John: I don’t have the answer to this question, but perhaps you do (and this goes to the question you had regarding my taking Obama’s “legitimacy” at face value): Doesn’t the FBI conduct background checks of Congressmen and Senators?
I would imagine that there is some sort of governmental vetting necessary, especially for those members of Congress and the Senate that sit on Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees and subcommittees.
Wouldn’t someone have bothered to check if Obama is legit? And, I would have to imagine that if this story had legs, the RNC and their hitmen would be all over it. You correctly point out that this would be a nuke for the Dems, and that fact is not lost on the Republicans. If there was a chance that this was correct, then they would have stuck a fork in him weeks ago, right?
