>>> The thing with that is, it's the right who are questioning Obama's legitimacy as President.

Which has exactly nothing to do with the issue.

Although, I don't know of anyone questioning his "legitimacy" -- I think a lot of people do question his competence. I do think he was elected under false pretenses -- that is, he intentionally misled voters. There is nothing new about that -- the Obama case is just a bit more extreme than what other presidents have done.

I also don't know about winning any games. We were beaten in an election -- badly -- due mostly to the fact that Obama appealed to blacks and to kids -- neither group of which was informed, for the most part.

I have always maintained that we would have better elections if some sort of competency test were required.

My son suggested this, and I thought it was a great idea: Before you can vote, you must be able to list the names of the last three presidents. Spelling errors are fine. There just needs to be some indication that you have the slightest knowledge of WTF is going on.

Had this requirement been in place during the last election, Obama would have lost.
