About Greg Nichols
- Greg Nichols
- A wild and varied career - Programmer for 35++yrs, Teacher, photographer, now living in Texas. Worked on post-Katrina construction in the Big Easy, National Officer for a veteran's organization, politically active, a California newspaper called me an iconoclast. My interest in the law brought me to the ancient writ of Quo Warranto, where I had a chance to digitize High's and Bailey's. In the meantime, my friends and I discovered massive corruption in California, including felonies by Judges and others. Long story short, exit stage right!

Hard for even the President to minimize an issue that's already irrelevant from the start.
The Birther issue was a non-starter from the word go. It's appropriate for the President to make light of it, since the whole country is already laughing at Birthers anyways.
Perhaps "Witches" are laughing, but I (and a significant number of TEA Party members are not laughing). Who are you counting as "the whole country"?
The number of Birthers (even a small minority compared to the tea baggers, who are a minority to begin with)are so small as to qualify as a "fringe".
Most people are smart enough to know that when one says "the whole country", that automatically takes into account any insignificant numbers of a fringe element.
It's like when you say "the whole country knows the Earth is a sphere". Yes there is a small fringe element of "flat Earthers`who don`t believe that, but they are insignificant enough not to be worth mentioning.
But then, maybe you`re not smart enough to realize that a fringe element is insignificant tin the broad scheme of things. You`re a Birther, after all, and intelligence is not really your style.
Why do the "witches of the world" think this issue is irrelevant? Is the constitution irrelevant? Sure it is for a majority of people, but legally there is a difference between the legitimacy and actions of a dejure vs. a defacto president. I for one don't believe that the actions of a defacto president are lawful, maybe because I am a dejure citizen! Laugh all you want, but in the history books, Obama is going to be a mere footnote, the real president will be the next one.
A whopping 58 percent of Republicans either think Barack Obama wasn't born in the US (28 percent) or aren't sure (30 percent). That's hardly an "insignificant" number:
