My personal belief is that if you are actually born on U.S. soil, and one biological parent is a U.S. citizen, and the other parent, their spouse, is a legal immigrant, then you are a "natural born" U.S. citizen. I happen to fall into that particular category.

Good luck trying to convince those who insist that both parents need to be citizens before you can be a "natural born citizen."

My contention is that Obama is obligated to show us a certified copy of his long form birth certificate.

Obligated by what, specifically? There's absolutely nothing in the Constitution or any federal statute obligating him to do any such thing. So where exactly does your contention come from?

He is obligated to provide all the necessary (legal) documents validating his *proper* status because he is the only one allowed to acquire them from the state agencies. We can't do that for him.
