I really don’t see how the left is gaining anything here. If they want to raise the issue in hopes of making “birthers” look like nuts...OK - Each time they do, they give it more publicity. Some of them might recall that John McCain was asked to produce his own BC before the election, and he did, without whining and without calling in a team of lawyers. What’s to be gained here? Well, if obama is shown to not be qualified as president, the democrats will be seen as the party who didn’t care enough to vet their candidate. They certainly don’t want that.
Just to respond to your point that they give it more attention: Their whole purpose is to give it more attention. Most people know he was born in Hawaii or don’t care if he was born elsewhere (logically, if he was born in Kenya or Hawaii, that doesn’t change the fact that his policies are failures that result in $1,800 billion deficits). Something that gets attention doesn’t make people believe it. Like if I wanted to say liberals are idiots, I could talk about how they think 9/11 was brought down by Dick Cheney. Me bringing it up won’t make anyone else believe it; it will just make liberals look like idiots.
I don't either. Withholding important documents merely makes Obama seem dishonorable.
An honorable man would be pleased and proud to provide all documents needed to prove he was a natural born citizen.
Also...Surely tyrants around the world are watching Obama’s actions regarding this natural born matter. What are they concluding about Obama’s character and honor?
