If the Obama people had done nothing underhanded or evasive on this issue a lot of suspicions would be dismissed. Had he acted like McCain and released the documents there would be no interest in this other than theoretic. BUT he has had no response which was not sheer evasion such as using arguments about “standing” to dismiss the issue.

McCain made no claims about lack of standing he just showed the documents. Why hasn’t Obama?

THEN there is the extremely suspicious Senate activity initiated around the challenge to McCain regarding his eligibility. Now, rather than let it lie after a Court acted, the Democrats pushed a Resolution #511 which declared him eligible (as if it had ANYTHING to say about this). But that was not enough; they tried to sneak a provision in declaring naturalizied citizens eligible (also something they have NO power to do). Had some sharp eyed Republican not spotted this mendacity it would have passed. Now ask yourself “Why did they do this?”

A great deal of this interest is driven by “The dog which didn’t bark.”

And that is an excellent point—but he did release what the state normally provides. Is your main concern that it was forged or that we should be able to see the long form.

I can see the legitimacy in the latter argument.

I have been following this blog off and on for some time and this is the first that I have heard of this. MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS!

Wow! That's very interesting! I wonder how many of the Dems actually know that Obama's not an American-born citizen?
