   Am I wrong in my recollection that the law reads that the President must be born in America? And that this is (at least) one reason that Mr. Schwartznegger is not eligible to run for President?

   I was encouraged that our country could finally elect a black president (anyway a 50% black president), and had high hopes for the future like so many people. But I have been so disappointed that he is more politician than anything else. Why he has not simply laid the birth certificate issue to rest is beyond me - I can only guess that he has some reason for letting that issue ferment and bubble along. I think he has been the perfect politician - breaking nearly all of his campaign promises - especially all of the change and hope rhetoric. He seems to be the first to demonize the republicans any chance he gets and certainly never met a fire he didn’t want to throw fuel on. It looks to me that any stone thrown at the tea party or republicans could just as easily hit the democrats. Neither side seems less guilty than the other. Sadly, I identify with the tea party on what I believe is the most important issue. You would be hard pressed to find a person in the whole elected government that does not showcase the worst aspects of being a politician - including Mr. Obama - perhaps especially Mr. Obama as I had dared to hope he would be different.

   Since we’re pointing out the mote in someone else’s eye, Christ advocated giving, rather than having something taken - and the Tea Party people have articulated exactly what they want - smaller government. Given the federal governments track record, it’s hard to think they have anyones best interest at heart other than the individual ‘lawmaker’. I can’t see how either side of the isle is doing more than lining their own pocket or furthering their own career.
