Now, while I would agree that Obama has not made it abundantly clear about his qualifications, at the same time I don’t see that he’s done anything so different than many other candidates.

His situation is different. What other cannidate in anything like recent times, had a foreign national, who never became even a legal resident, let alone a citizen? Even Chester Arthur's father eventually was naturalized, while Obama's father, who apparently had a big influence on him, even in abstenia, went home to Kenya. Meanwhile the man, Barrack Jr, was raised for some of very formative years in a foreign country, attending their schools as one of them. So, per the very purpose of the Natural Born Citizen requirement, that of avoiding foreign influence in the office of the President, Obama merits higher scrutiny. Now, if he had practiced his vaunted "transparency" last summer and granted access to either his Certification or Certificate, and preferably the latter, of birth, since the former may not contain sufficient information for a determination of natural born status, well then the issue would have been hashed out and be over by now. Instead he sent his lawyers to argue standing and other technicalities that do no go to the truth of the issue.

He either is or is not eligible to the office of President. I for one would like to know "the truth" of that matter. Wouldn't you?

Ping me if they reply to your question about whether they want to know the truth or not.
