BHO Birth Certificate Issue: Threat or Menace?

I don't agree.

There could well be some people who wouldn't believe Obama's mother's own obstetrician if he swore under oath he delivered Barack Obama at X hospital in Honolulu. But I don't think that's most people.

What's happening is that more and more people are asking, "If there IS an original document, then why the hell doesn't Obama just order it released and be done with it?"

Why not, indeed? Why spend millions defending "frivolous" lawsuits that are asking for it?

Allowing this story to get the relentless drip-drip-drip of public attention has been foolhardy. Because people are also starting to ask, where are the college transcripts? The law school transcripts? Health records? All the others that have not been released?

Does this play into the fear of Obama's intent to "remake" America? I think it does. People are saying, legitimately, "Who IS this person, and what is he doing to our country?"

Is Obama "setting people up"? Could be, I suppose. Seems like a very expensive joke to play. But then, he is spending OUR money, so perhaps he doesn't care.

I agree with Laura.

Points well made.

Sound and fury...

I disagree with Laura61.

While there are some people who may have a ligitimate concern or would, honestly, like an answer, most of the "birthers" as they are called are simply playing into the hands of the Left.

As you pointed out, why give Obama and the dems this kind of topcover after the beating they took last week in particular. If your enemy is going to keep jumping into the pool with piranha, just let him go.

There is a difference between some who may have a passing interest in this as opposed to those who have completely left the reservation, and by that I mean between those who are absolutely frickin nuts.

If you read some of this stuff, it's just as bad as those who think fire doesn't melt steel, Bigfoot IS in fact an undiscovered north-american primate, etc.

The question has been answered, numerous times. Simply not agreeing with the answer given isn't doing anything productive. Ask the Gore sychophants who still aren't over 2000.
