“The interesting things here is that by demanding the BC,we are being painted as kooks claiming Hussein was born on Mars, in Kenya, on a raft in the Pacific. It doesn’t matter if he was born in Hawaii with the entire board of directors of the hospital in the delivery room. HE STILL HAS TO SHOW THE WRITTEN, LEGAL PROOF OF BIRTH. And that is all I am demanding.
When I had to show proof to get my Kentucky DL, they were not accusing me of being illegal. And, if I had brought in a whole roomful of idiot pundits and politicians to say I was born in the US, the DL office still would have required proof.
Tell me Ann, what is it about the notion that the President should to meet the same standards as all of us proletariat serfs that makes us kooks?
Supposedly, America was different because our leaders were subjected to the same rule of law that we were. If that is not the case, then they are not our leaders or representatives......they are our rulers. And they are doing a damn good job of playing that part.”

I don’t know about your state, ChildOfThe60s, but in mine if you took a long form handwritten bc to the dmv, it wouldn’t be accepted. You need a printed government issued colb to get a drivers license, and the same for a passport. This was true even prior to the 08 elections, so its not something that was snuck in to lesser the birther argument.
The only difference between you and Barack I can see is that numerous political figures weren’t called in to validate the veracity of your paperwork. To that extent I’d say Obama “WAS” held to a higher standard than you were.
That the colb is acceptable for presidential office is not something that should be disputed, since its been acceptable for quite some time now. I look at the cases disputing it the same way I look at the constant cases assailing Sarah Palin. I know shes done little or nothing wrong, but hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent defending those allegations. Defending yourself is just something you do. It doesn’t imply guilt.
Besides, if his bc said he was born in Kenya, his colb would too... This kind of argument draws attention away from more realistic issues.
Well, my wife had to produce her original BC here in Kentucky. That's what they asked for, and that's what they accepted. AND she was forced to produce our original marriage license because her BC had a different last name than her old FL license.
Sorry, it is still my opinion that Obama is skating on multiple things.
And, going off on a slight tangent, my comment that BO and the rest are not subjected to the same laws as are we applies to multiple areas of discussion. This really does go much further than this single issue. The line has been crossed from "representative" to "ruler".
