"[The birth certificate], in theory, should be there," said Mr. Vieira. "What if it isn't? Who knows, aside from Mr. Obama? Does Russian intelligence know it isn't there? Does Chinese intelligence know it isn't there? Does the CIA know that it isn't there? Who is in a position to blackmail this fellow?"

Yikes. Never thought of this. Scary indeed.

I was wondering if maybe Hillary had some dirt on Obama and that’s why he’s appointing so many former Clinton staffers. I hadn’t thought about the possibility of foreign governments blackmailing him. That is frightening.

I don’t know whether Obama is a natural born citizen, but we have a right to know. It seems unlikely the Democrats would run a candidate who is not qualified constitutionally to serve as president, but what’s with all the stonewalling? With all the talk of the “lack of transparency” and “secretiveness” of the Bush administration, Obama shouldn’t find it burdensome or intrusive to produce one document.
