Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - - Obama Eligibility Challenge Returns To Haunt Florida

Dear colleagues:

These actions and tough words may be just tales told by irresponsible
politicians, full of sound and furry, signifying nothing. It is true that many
of these politicos--some with their racist tendencies--invested substantial
capital in the 2012 presidential election and lost. Some are suffering from
post-election psychological depression or psychosis because of the unanticipated
Obama victory. I would suggest that it's not too late for these men and women to
see a psychiatrist--a reputable psychiatrist--on this matter. In truth, I have
seen such political actors in Nollyhood movies--and real life.

> In his decision then, Lewis noted that the United States Supreme

> of the United States."
> However, attorney Larry Klayman, who is representing Voeltz, said,
