But the simplicity of learning the truth, and the fact that no reporter, even those 10% who ARE conservative, have delved into this at all make a pretty good case that there is really no "there" there.
The story seems to be the secrecy of Obama, not his certificate. But yet a lot of people persue this story based on internet postings about it.
Who knows? I certainly don't. It amazes me though that people who are normally so skeptical about things, especially what we read on the internet, sometimes put blinders on when it comes to things we WANT to be true.
The Certificate of Live Birth is hardly an issue.
What is an issue is that Obama has not supplied a certified copy of a Birth Certificate. A document that certifies that he was born in a given hospital on a given date and time signed by an attending physician.
It is not a Constitutional requirement that they do so, but more mundane.
The question has been called. Mr Obama has been pressed to produce documents the State of Hawaii has under seal, which he can have released.
The relative inexpense of doing so, and ending any question (one way or the other) of his being Constitutionally qualified to hold the office of the President of the United States, versus expenditures of some $800,000.00 in attorneys' fees to avoid releasing the information, certainly gives one cause to question whether he is, in fact, Constitutionally qualified to take office.
That people have had to go to court to press the issue is absurd, but it is an absurdity Mr. Obama has caused by his lack of forthrightness.
Hawaii says he does have a bc.
