If he has the birth certificate, make him produce it eventually and we are in the same place as we are now, trying to defeat him in the 2012 election. It is long past time where anyone thinks it’s “kooky” to be asking for it. More and more people are wondering why in the hell he can’t or won’t produce it.

If he can’t produce the birth certificate, then he has to go.
