I don’t see how it is necessary to raise all this ruckus in avoiding to present your birth certificate when it is required for a constitutional postion you hold.

Three responses:

1) He isn't raising any ruckus. That would be the birthers.

2) Please show me where in the constitution it is required to show a long-form birth certificate, and to whom precisely it must be shown

3)Even if mailed a certified hard copy of his long-form birth certificate to every single person in the US, it still wouldn't stop the ruckus. The birthers believe his father's lack of US citizenship make him ineligible even if he were born in the USA. Which makes me wonder why they expend so much energy on the birth certificate question...

McCain showed his birth certificate when requested so as not to cause a ruckus. Obama is above all that? Is he now King Obama? Dear Leader Obama? Utipia’s watermelon messiah?

How do you know that if he produced his long form birth certificate it would not please the people asking him to do it? As it is, he looks like a slime bucket hiding something. Obama’s appearance of cover-up is making the questions grow. He causing trouble in the military and as the CIC, that should matter to him. As The One, however, I guess it does not matter. Not everyone is in the cult, you see.

Those are the "dualers" (as in dual citizen at birth), not neccessarily a "birther" (though could be both). Count me as a dualer primarily, and a birther secondarily. Thanks.
