I can't believe how racist people still are these days. Makes me sick.
Gah. This whole thing has nothing to do with race! Many of these people would do the same thing if it was a white man in Obama's place!
I didn't think so either at first, but I am starting to see that there is a component of racism in these discussions. Just my opinion.

Obama is a lawyer he seems to be following this "rule of law" As a US citizen I have the right to know if the guy in the white house is or is not my president. I do not care if he is white, green, purple, demiRat of reBooblican. Question have been raised and I as a citizen have not been given anything except the politico two step for an answer to a simple question with a very simple answer.
All of the laws signed by this guy could be null and void therefore I need the question is answered. Stonewalling just makes me think he is NOT my president.

You guys just can't let that go can you.
Come up with something new.

Why should he weaken himself on the word of a bunch of malcontents?
If he did as you suggest he will be seen to be bowing to them which will make it easier for people to bully him into other actions in future.
Frankly he should ignore them and if confronted about it in an interview, he should be honest - that the whole thing is ridiculous and offensive.

I don't normally look at birth documents on a everyday basis, so I'm a little confused about something.
Date & Place of Birth - August 4, 1961
Given under my hand... - February 17, 1964
Should those two dates match, or is the second date when someone put in for a copy of the certificate?

You knew very well he was your President until these malicious rumours started off.

QUALIFICATION is the issue not who the puppet is sitting on the throne.

You've missed the point... The President SERVES THE PEOPLE. He is not a king nor a dictator - he serves completely at the leisure of the constituents - both those who voted for him AND those who did not. Whereas YOU may find the whole thing ridiculous and offensive, it is neither. It is a Constitutional issue that Obama MUST address and put to rest. Yet, he steadfastly refuses, going so far as to hire an army of lawyers and spending millions to bury his history. Why do you think that might be?

ATS is really funny sometimes. We went through years of harping on about the Bush/Cheney crooks who were in office and now it's all about Obama not really being an American?
Where just going to forget about the malfeasance that was perpetrated by the last group of idiots?

Probably for the reason I've already given or because he's the first black President he's a target for the racist element and is offended by this demand which a white President wouldn't have got.
No, he isn't a king nor a dictator but he has already been democratically elected. This subversive stuff does nothing but damage the systems the people must believe in for them to work. It is a tiny, tiny minority who are stirring the pot at the moment - i'm sure the vast majority of people (vote for him or not) wouldn't care about this as they'd know where it was coming from.
What will these people say if he did produce his full birth certificate - within seconds a thread will exist on here "its a forgery" - you know it and so do I.
