Obama's advantage here is that we really don't know what he is hiding in this conspiracy. We know he's evil, anti-American, and a compulsive liar. What we don't know is whether he has a valid Hawaiian birth certificate and what it says if one exists. He might be hiding a non-citizen parent, his mother's marital status, or any of a number of other issues. Whatever he's afraid of, he thinks he gets enough mileage out of portraying his doubters as extreme or out of touch to outweigh the very limited damage that the cover up does with 90% of the media on the socialist's side.
The entire world knows he had a non-citizen parent.
The entire world knows Sr. was a bigamist. Any marriage after the first isn't worth a plug nickel.
Any number of other issues have been out on the world wide web for years - parents never married, Malcolm X or Davis or grandpa or some other dude is pops, some bar floozy is mama, holds at least 4 citizenships, not born in HI or the US, no doctor or hospital, delayed bc, maybe he's female or he's an alien from the planet Zolon. Embarrassment doesn't come into play because nothing can be worse than your mother's porn pics all over the web. It has to do with a personal cover up and I suspect it's the citizenship.
Obama claimed to be a lifelong Christian as well (on his website in the “fight the smears” section.
He never has produced a baptism certificate nor has he bothered to mark any of the traditional Christian holy days.
