FOR THEIR LACK OF ABILITY TO SUCCEED AT LIFE.

There is a certain amount of racism, no doubt, but most of it is just the same old fake left/right divide and conquer stuff that keeps people ignorant and occupied.

Why didn't Obama put this whole thing to rest sooner? Because it gives people something to fight about! You know, the old "us vs. them", liberal vs. conservative BS that people keep swallowing year after year, election after election.

Frankly, I didn't suspect Obama was a non-U.S. citizen. I did have a hard time understanding why he just didn't do this years ago and put it to bed rather than cause all this turmoil, hate, and discontent.

And, I don't think this is truly a race issue - it's a citizenship issue. If Bush or anyone else's citizenship was in question, the opposing party (Dems or Reps) would have thrown them under the bus. Each party always looks for ways to discredit the opponent.

If it were me, I would have pulled the birth certificate 2+ years ago and said "Here. Shut your mouths and let's focus on real issues." It's not a matter of whether the President agrees or disagrees - it's putting something so simple to bed right away rather than let it fester and divide the country for two years. I'm not a birther myself, but this issue has drawn the focus away from real issues - maybe that was Obama's goal in the first place. The longer he can keep people focused on something silly, the longer it takes them to realize that shenanigans are occuring.......

Just a thought....

First, he was under no obligation to do anything other than provide what was provided, all was legal and taken care of.

Second, how far would you suggest we let a group of fringe characters control what a President is supposed to do? Should Clinton have shown his **** to the country to show whether or not is had a curve as someone said?

Third, I wish he wouldn't have done what he did today. It makes the idiots look more idiotic. But now that he did, you will see it will not be enough. Conspiracy theories are already out there and people are trying to prove it's a fake saying it has 'layers' and it shouldn't, letters are different, etc. Rush even talked about it today. PDF files create layers automatically, btw.

The reason this issue had legs is because the media was complicit in keeping it alive. If it had just ignored it it would be just what it is, a bunch of fringe nutcases.

So I went to the cnn site - and looked at the certificate.

I think I know what he has been trying to hide........

Father listed as 25 years old
Mother listed as 18 years old

sooooo, a 24 or 25 year old black guy knocked up an 18 or maybe 17 year old white chick. kinda sleazy.......

Having a fake/dubious/genuine birth certificate/certificate of live birth is the least of my concerns with this avowed Socialist. The guy could have been born right inside the Alamo for all I care. That still doesn't make him an American. In his heart he's still a bitter African colonial who despises capitalism and individual freedom.
