>>>I guess that Obama's family had great fortune telling skills. Imagine, having your son born in Africa but being prescient enough to convince authorities in Hawaii to register his birth there AND run an ad in two Hawaii newspapers so 40 years later when he runs for President he will appear to be born in the U.S. I wish my parents were that smart: they could've put in an order to buy Microsoft stock 30 years before MS existed, and I'd be rich today.
>>>
>>>I'll tell you what's great fortune-telling skills....Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie vowing to demonstrate that Obama was born in Hawaii, before he knew he could produce the official birth certificate....kind of like an attorney asking for immunity before knowing what's going to be said!!!
>>
>>But doesn't Abercrombie say he knew the family at the time Barack was born?
>
>No, he said he knew the family when Obama was a child.

>I don't think he's not a U.S. citizen, and the conspiracy theory is nonsense. However, we expect full disclosure and we deserve it of our public servants. This is only an issue because he is President of the United States. Frankly, privacy laws take effect otherwise, but really, when it comes to public service, all of that should be available to the public.
>
>Just put it all to rest and provide not a certificate of live birth which is a document created on the fly based on a clerk's verification of birth, but the original live birth records (all of them - including his college and student loan and grant records) to the public - this is the highest office in our country and the requirements are clear and qualifications should be verified - it doesn't matter what his political party is or whether or not you support his policies.
>
>It amazes me that folks consider it unreasonable to expect that of the highest office of this land. What country is this? How we have traveled backwards in time to a country where the government can and does get away with anything without disclosure amazes me. Why is not expect anymore? Anyone who doesn't expect it to be provided is no better than the other name callers - it has nothing to do with political parties - in fact they are worse: they're sheeple.

>What concerns me now is the stories and statements by Hawaiin officials who previously claimed that the certificate was created based on the original full birth certificate that they swore they saw with their own eyes. Now only a log is available? Amazing.

How does that paper (or lack of) trail compare with other politicians.
And does it matter. He is what he does not who he was or wasn't.
