Obama is likely sleeping like a lamb. “Save my ass” accusations by Blago and Rezko will be unconvincing without corroboration.

Although the uninvestigated eligibility issue may have passed without Obama being required to produce his vault birth certificate and his mother’s medical records, Appointmentgate is still a timely distraction.

With most opinion makers, including the opposition, being afraid to subject Obama to the same scrutiny that any other candidate would be subjected to, Obama has little to worry about at this is point.

Unless he mishandles a major international crisis most people will continue to play The Emperor’s New Clothes for at least a year.
