HuffPost blogger, college prof: Release birth certificate
WorldNetDaily ^ | August 2, 2009 | WorldNetDaily

Posted on 08/02/2009 7:34:39 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Carol Swain, a professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt University who blogs for the left-leaning Huffington Post, says President Obama should just release his original long-form birth certificate and have done with the dispute.

"I believe that the president should end the speculation by being transparent about all aspects of his background," Swain said. "In fact, it can be argued that the president belongs to the people and to scholars, biographers and others who are entitled to know every aspect of his past. Only great men can ascend to this height, and their lives should be examined and studied for the lessons they offer."

She told WND she really doesn't see the point in pursuing all sorts of after-the-election challenges to Obama.

"He was elected. This was not brought up or pursued by any of his opponents. The opportunity to pursue it is done," she said.

“...by being transparent about all aspects of his background...”

Nice thought, Carol. Rather than a bunny with a pancake on his head...here’s some music for you to listen to...

She's right. The McCain campaign admitted that they looked into it before the election and found nothing. You can't bet that Hildebeast's campaign did the same.

It wasn’t pursued by any of his opponents? What about the suit brought by Alan Keyes?

She's an attractive lady!

Good to hear more folks besides us right-wing nuts calling publicly for the release of the certificate, and other information about That One's early life. The Dems have demanded all kinds of background documents on Republicans against whom they are running, so turn about it fair play, as they say.
