I'm not sure what I think of this birther thing. It seems to me that his mother's citizenship probably confers natural born status on him, regardless of birth place; unless perhaps he gave it up by becoming an Indonesian citizen (which may explain the tight lid on college records). It think the birth certificate thing is perhaps an attempt to cover up something embarrassing (paternity), not disqualifying.

It is interesting however to see a piece saying "what difference does it make?" rather than "you guys are nuts".

The problem with things like this is they are never as delicious in reality as they seem to possibly be. I mean, why would he hide all the stuff? It must be real juicy, right? Just like the Whitewater billing records in the White House closet. The more you speculate about the existence of a bombshell, the less likely it seems that you will get the satisfaction of seeing one materialize. Whatever he's concealing will likely end up being forever concealed, or not that big of deal. I have no evidence of that, it's just the way things like this tend to work out.

As I understand what I’ve read, his mother wasn’t old enough to confer natural born citizenship on him by herself, as the rules stood at the time. His supposed father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., was a Kenyan, and therefore a British subject. Also, if he was naturalized as an Indonesian when adopted by Mr. Soertero, his stepfather, then he lost whatever natural born citizenship he might otherwise have had. Mr. Obama travelled to Pakistan at a time when U.S. citizens weren’t allowed into that country. How did he get in? Did he use a Kenyan or Indonesian passport? It just keeps piling up. Senator McCain, who was born at a military installation in the Canal Zone in Panama, revealed his birth certificate. Where is Mr. Obama’s?
