Obama's rope-a-dope

Obama argues against appearing at eligibility hearing

“ Barack Obama has outlined a defense strategy for a multitude of state-level challenges to his candidacy on the 2012 presidential ballot in a Georgia case that is scheduled to come before a judge later this month – simply explain that states have nothing to do with the eligibility of presidential candidates. ” And Obama's argument?  Add it to the long list of curious, fraudulent, or plain stupid behavior Obama has exhibited in his eligibility fight. “ Presidential electors and Congress, not the state of Georgia, hold the constitutional responsibility for determining the qualifications of presidential candidates, Obama’s lawyer argues in a motion to quash a subpoena for him to appear at the hearings Jan. 26. ” It is states, usually through the office of secretary of state, that run elections, not the federal government. The national election is simply a compilation of the results of the individual elections within states.  State law also grants the secretary of state and any “elector who is eligible to vote for a candidate” in the state the authority to raise a challenge to a candidate’s qualifications, the judge determined.  His lawyers ought be fined by the judges for willfully employing rope-a-dope in this, by now, farcical effort to save Obama's ass.
