It’s a reasonable issue but I don’t believe should be the only issue. Recent developments seem to suggest that the questions around the birth cert may have some credibility. It certainly doesn’t help Obama no more than the Truther charges again Bush helped him however those that try to say it hurts us I have to ask how did the 9-11 truther/ Michael Moore crap hurt the left and it I believe was much more serious even traitorous and not a tenth of the attention was given to Truthers in the media even with the recent Lougner shooting who was most definitely of the Truther bent.

There are real questions about the President’s records in general. He has not be forth coming on his birth, education, or medical records. If you have a tendency towards conspiracy then it may seem a bit more than coincidence that one of the guys who was a part of Obama’s Passport breach ended up getting shot to death outside of his church. Is Obama a grifter, a matchstix man? I don’t know but the guy most certainly has a record of inflating himself beyond his accomplishments and combine that with his inordinate level of secrecy concerning records of his past is at a minimum strange. People do not hide what is not worth hiding.

I see your point, but to make any comparison between Truther and Birther is incorrect except that they both end in ER.

While you’re at it, the school records would be nice, too!

Even for those who don't question Obama's eligibility, birthplace, citizenship, etc. -- I say, so what? What is the problem with requiring proof of eligibility that is public and reviewable? That's the rub here.

I could think Obama was a natural born citizen from here to Kingdom come and I'd still want procedures and judicial review available to preclude this becoming an issue with another candidate/sitting president in the future.
