For the vast majority of people, it really is that simple. In order for a person to conclude otherwise requires that that person desperately want to believe otherwise for some extraneous reason. And most of us know what the extraneous reason is - there are people who didn't want to accept the results of the election of 2008 and they felt a need to find a way to alter the results of that election. We understand why some people believed that nonsense. That's as obvious as the birthplace of these presidents.
And, a lot of us feel badly that some people took money from other people while pretending to chase that unicorn. That wasn't fair.

I’d be more than happy to believe Obama was born in HI if a shred of evidence confirmed it. But all the evidence points the other way.
For instance, you said Bush was born in Connecticut. Well, he was. There is a house in CT in which Bush’s mother was living while she was pregnant. They had neighbors that knew them; she had a gynecologist...the list goes on and on.
There is no house in HI where Stanley Ann lived while she was pregnant. There is no house to which she brought the newborn home to after being discharged. No neighbors remember her. There is no evidence she was even in the state, much less that she had a gynecologist, etc.
Think about it. Why can you NOT buy a postcard in HI depicting the house Stanley Ann lived in while pregnant? Why?
