Quote from cgroupman:
Since we're all supposed to traders and risk takers. I'll put up $1000 vs. any of your $500 that nothing will become of this birth certificate nonsense. Obama will be our President come Inaguration day (unless something horrific happesn, heaven forbid). We can put the money with the owner of ET for privacy if need be. Any takers?
Quote from TGregg:
Some little scrap of paper from the 60s dealing with a fairly unknown part of the constitution is not going to stand in the way of all that power. Even if the fringe were correct and Obama was born in BFE to a monkey and a dog, SCOTUS isn't going to send this country into a civil rights tailspin by "disenchanting" the first African American president.
And if they showed any sign that they might do so, you can bet your bottom dollar that BCs would emerge. As many different ones as needed, even. At the very least, surely somebody can crank out a suitable substitute. Running for POTUS costs how much these days? Over 5 billion, right? 5 billion and the office of the most powerful man on the planet? People are killed for a whole lot less.

That same premise makes you and me just little piss-ant cocksuckers... of no more importance than to have our assets confiscated and to get a bullet in the brain...
That's what's at risk here. And you're accepting it with aplomb?
Quote from insider trading:
69 million people voted for and said they wanted Obama as president.compared to that the "produce the birth certificate "crowd are just little piss-ant cocksuckers
