The time for Obama to prove anything has come and gone. I don’t know how it works (state by state or fed?) to verify if someone is qualified to hold the office. But it’s pretty much moot at this point.
By the time all the legal crap happend to remove him, it would be way past 2012 when he’ll get the boot by the voters anyway.
You make some good points. Many with which I agree (except for the one I used in quotes.
I do not see this as a tool to remove Obama. I see him using the issue to make void the US Constitution. While many suspicions are there this could all be a way for Obama to show us Americans that it's not necessary to be a legal and natural born citizen to be President therefore it's not necessary to require documents to prove one's citizenship.
Obama has set a precedence which is "American Citizen UNTIL proven otherwise".
We need to change it back by getting to the bottom of whatever is up with all he's hiding and we must do that whether he wins in 2012 or not.
Personally I was hoping the BC issue would have stayed on the back burner until after the elections. But who am I to be putting politics above the US Constitution?
