I agree. There's plenty else to contest him on and I think we need to choose our battles wisely. Right now he's back on his heels and a frontal attack on his ideology and policies is the better way to direct our energy. Do I think it's suspicious that he spend a large amount of $ keeping it from being released? Yes, but I think it may be not because of birthplace, but rather parentage.
“Do I think it’s suspicious that he spend a large amount of $ keeping it from being released? Yes, but I think it may be not because of birthplace, but rather parentage.!”
I have yet to see any sort of verification of the “large sums of money” spent on lawyers for this.
I think Obama is letting this stew, and when it becomes big enough, they will release it, and make all these people look stupid, burst their bubble, and make anyone who criticizes him fit into the category of “those crazy birthers” from then on.

When you consider that lack of natural-born citizenship would disqualify Obama from the presidency, all those other issues become moot. Whether National Review likes it or not, this is a “magic bullet” of sorts since it is such an important part (constitutional requirement) of being President.
And we must ask ourselves why the framers of our constitution were so adamant about this issue - the loyalty of the President to our national interests. It seems pretty evident to me that Obama’s loyalties are not country first based on his actions so far - at least not THIS country...
Complete supposition and not out of the realm of possibilities.
The fact of the matter is he owes it to the American people to come clean, after all. he did promise transparency, didn't he?
