Among Republicans, 28 percent answered they believe Obama was born outside the U.S., while 30 percent answered "not sure." Among independents, 83 percent affirmed their belief that the president was born in the U.S., while an overwhelming 93 percent of Democrats insisted it is so.

The fact that this is something still open to debate, versus being a matter of record is flabbergasting.

What is quite clear is that the form posted on the website purporting to be a birth certificate is not. It’s an abbreviated form (hence the term short-form) which several states offer. It is often stamped with the message that the form is not proof of citizenship. I have an actual Hawaiian birth certificate and it has date, time, place, who was where when, background, and signatures up the yin-yang. Which leaves me not knowing why all the subterfuge and obfustication. What is being hidden?

Exactamundo! In all previous presidential elections this has been a non-issue. It is amazing that we don't have a requirement for candidates to prove rather than just assert their eligibility. It is even more amazing that we seem to have a vast majority who don't care about the Constitution.

Still, 7% of Dems apparently aren't sure or don't believe that 0bama was born in the US, so there's hope. But that hope won't get us what we really need: change. Change from this bunch of communist thugs in the White House and their lackeys in Congress.
