I am an American who was born overseas and that fact has presented bureaucratic problems for me throughout my life. Everything from getting into school, to being tossed in an INS holding tank to being shaken down at customs at US Airports at least 50 times.

If Obama were born in Kenya he would have had similar problems and those problems would have left a paper trail.

What you're saying makes sense, and that's why I think it impossible that Obama was born in Kenya. However, the point isn't why any particular presidential candidate is surely eligible for office; it's about following procedures that, if applied to EVERY presidential candidate, will ensure that ANYONE who is ineligible to be president is prevented from running. Whether you (very reasonably) think Obama is eligible is irrelevant. There is a simple way for Obama to prove he is a natural-born citizen and that is by publishing a verified copy of his birth certificate. Arguments on Free Republic — however valid — should not settle this issue.

Hansel and Gretel also left a trail. Their trail was made of bread crumbs and the animals ate it. Maybe Zeroes handlers have destroyed his paper trail. ;0)
