I believe Obama made it clear he may not even run for a second term. I truly believe that is due to so many states now requiring proof of citizenship. That is something he has spent millions to avoid. There would be no avoiding such a conflict in a run for a second term. There is obviously some problem with it or he wouldn't have spent a nickel to avoid the issue. I don't know what it is, but calling people "birthers" etc is not a way of making it go away. Just a way of stalling. Certainly no courts want to deal with the confusion that chaos that such a suit would precipitate. However, on the state level he would just be denied entry on the ballot without proof.

Official US deficit numbers just released (Monday). We have tons of heavy lifting ahead of us yet to get out of this hole that we have dug ourselves into over many years --- not to mention emerging from the worst (longest and deepest) Recession in nearly 80 years --- but this much is a sign of light: The federal deficit is running significantly lower than it did last year, with the budget gap for the first half of fiscal 2010 some 8% lower than the first half of fiscal 2009. Officials attributed the results to higher tax revenue and to lower spending than projected on bailing out the financial system. If the trend continues for the rest of the year, it would mean the annual deficit would be $1.3 trillion -- about $300 billion less than the administration's projection just two months ago for 2010...
