The President, rather than fork over an undisputed Birth Certificate, would watch a soldier in his service sent to prison.
Class act, Barry.
Think the Left will be writing any songs for Terry Lakain, who refused to fight?

Perhap as Commander in Chief, he didn’t believe a soldier in his service should dictate to him what he should do?
One has nothing to do with the other. Lakin wasn't convicted because Obama didn't supply something.
I feel so badly for Col. Lakin. I do think he was poorly advised. He did his duty as he saw it, as did the judge and the jury. I’m not about to condemn any of them. In the meanwhile, an honorable 20+ years career and its attendant retirement benefits down the drain. He’d have been better off years ago choosing private practice. But 6 months confinement is less than I’d expected.
BUT, as to your comment, the birth certificate is not really the issue, imho. It’s a red herring. The real Constitutional question is what was the intent and understanding of the Framers who inserted the language ‘natural born citizen’ in the Constitution for the Office of President only. The SCOTUS has never defined that phrase.
That question is a lot bigger than Obama or any single person. It is time the term be defined by the SCOTUS. Obama’s birth certificate could establish his ineligibility if it shows he was not born in the USA, but it alone would not establish his eligibility, based on his parentage.
We have a huge population of ‘anchor babies’ who may or may not meet the qualification under various interpretations. One definition (Vattel) would exclude them, and Obama, as both parents were not US citizens when they were born; that presents the dual allegiance issue the Framers wanted to avoid in the CinC.
Every communist leader has to make his bones takeing a political prisoner. If he didn’t do this Fidel would be laughing at him.
I think he expected more to follow him, but they didn’t. One person is a kook....twenty.... hundreds asking the same question, then you have a movement...and it cannot be ignored....
The birth certificate will be an issue in the next election, I promise you....
As will all the other documents he’s been hiding....
And guess who will be demanding it? The left...
