“This birth certificate stuff just makes us look stupid. There are plenty of reasons to oppose Obama, but where he was born isn’t one of them.”

I disagree. First of all, “where he was born” is a fundamental and constitutional REASON TO OPPOSE HIM, if he was NOT born in the USA, knew he is ineligible, and nevertheless ran for and TOOK office.

Constitutional eligibility requirements matter in the extreme. The reasons are self evident.

That being said, the “birth certificate stuff” is far more than it seems. It’s symbolic. Iconic. It goes to the heart of the problem: WHO IS HE?

Why does he LIE about EVERYTHING concerning his background? He is driven to repeat these proven lies, most recently at a war hero’s funeral.

He cannot be and will not be transparent about the most fundamental document that most people willingly present when they apply for school, a job, etc. You can’t even fly on an airplane these days without the government making sure of who you are. Who is he? We don’t know.

There’s a reason he hides the records. It’s most likely because he’s NOT who he says he is. It’s far beyond where he was born. He may have been born in Hawaii, but to date there’s NO EVIDENCE to prove that. What is he hiding?

It’s not “stupid” for us to ask for proof of who he is and, especially, for proof that he’s constitutionally eligible for the job. Yes, by now there are plenty of reasons to oppose Obama, but what’s “stupid” is to assume that simply because one asks for this man to PROVE his eligibility for the job, then that’s the same as “opposing” him. He’s done plenty over the past four years that deserves opposition, but asking the man to prove he’s who and what he claims to be is not opposition. It’s simple common sense.

What employer hires a person who deliberately obfuscates his identity? It’s a measure of his character. What is it in Obama’s character that drives him to lie about his provenance?
