Since WHEN do we just ignore confirming with documents? That's the BIGGEST point. Try getting a drivers license without anything but your word.
Even if all were fine with the BC he still NEEDS to show it. We do not go by people's words in this nation this is not Kenya.
To accept his word is to open up a can of worms for all future Presidents, and VOTERS for that matter.
You just hit upon Obama's biggest hypocrisy. He wouldn't be able to get a drivers license with this jpg, factlack photos or DOH news releases. He'd still have to present a verifiable birth record and then Illinois' DMV (or wherever he was applying) would have to get the HI DOH to LEGALLY confirm his alleged COLB. Who does Obama have to thank for this requirement?? Himself. He voted for a Federal law in 2005 that requires this process, yet he clearly would not be able to pass with what he has presented.
