Who's "obsessed"? We just want to see proof of Barry's constitutional eligibility, which only his original LFBC can provide, and which he could release in a New York minute.
We asked for it. Barry refused that simple request. Were we supposed to just shrug our shoulders and say, "As you wish, your Highness"?
It's Obama who has prolonged this, and dragged it out. He could have shut this whole controversy down before the election, if he had simply released his LFBC to the public. That's all that anyone's ever asked him to do.
Instead of attacking your fellow Americans for asking their president for the simplest, and most basic proof of citizenship there is, why aren't you asking Obama why he's refusing to do so? Don't you think we have a right to ask this basic question of our president?
Lastly, you're wrong about "only a small minority of the conservative base" being interested and concerned with this question. I don't have the link, but the results of a scientific poll that was recently conducted among center-right voters indicates that the MAJORITY of us want Obama to prove that he's constitutionally eligible to hold office.
