Seems fairly simple to me except for the fact that he is apparently trying to send the message that he's beyond reproach. Next time the government asks for mine I'm gonna tell them to sue me cause I ain't showing it to nobody. ..and guess what - I'll be doing YA from my cell.

I see the deaf blind libs are out in force. They can't possibly be Real Americans since they are willing to let Barry violate the Constitution. Barry's own grandmother said he was born in Kenya. He can't\ show us a valid legitimate birth certificate because he was not a natural born citizen. Only a fool will think that piece of illegible paper posted on his website was legitimate. Barry the liar hopes to drag this out until he is sworn in and it becomes harder to remove him from his illegally gotten election,.

He has better things to do like get us out of the huge mess Bush got us into. In another 7 years you will still be wondering if he is American.LMFAO, at you.

The cases (there is more than one) are going to be heard soon by the Supreme Court. The electoral vote is to be held on Dec. 15th.

since the election is history, and I only hear about this issue here, I think the only people's whose time, money, and energy are being wasted are the ones who just can't accept the fact that they lost the election and move on.

Life imitating art. Can you say "Manchurian Candidate?!" Hmmm. . . Maybe he is trying to hide the fact that he is NOT an American citizen?!! And he's beating around the bush, trying to buy some time between now and the time that he gets sworn in. You see, the Clintonistas know that they have their puppet in power named Barry Soetoro. . . Oops! There I go again. . . . I meant Barack Obama!
He was born in Kenya. . . His real name is Barry Soetoro. . . And he is a puppet for many!
EDIT: If he does get sworn in, I will seldom refer to him as President Obama! I will keep calling him Barry Soetoro!!!

I heard a lot of people say that there is no way his family could know he was going to be pres so why would they lie? The fact is whether he became a President or a Plumber it would be in his best interest to be an American Citizen opposed to Kenyan. His Mothers family was smart and I am sure they would have helped the daughter and grandson anyway they could. There is something really fishy about all of this. My Birth cert has Hospital,Date,time,doctor,Parents etc. He has only shown a cert of live birth which can be issued by a family member declaring birth. He has never shown his Real Birth cert like yours or mine. Anyway I guess at some point maybe 25 years from now the freedom of information act will clear this all up assuming in 25 years we still have freedom.

Okay, here's the deal, once again.
Obama already got his birth certificate from Hawaii. He posted it on the internet. This happened in June. It is the same as any birth certificate issued by Hawaii or any other state - a computer-generated document based on permanent birth records.
Obama has no control over what the state releases.
Some lunatics have claimed that the birth certificate the state gave Obama was fake. The state says no, it's real. But the lunatics want to go dig into the state's files of personal information and try to find some proof that the state is lying or something. They want to see the original that was filled out at the hospital. Or they just don't understand that all birth certificates are computer-generated, not photocopies of originals. The state has said no, we issued an authentic birth certificate and that's that.
So it's already over with. The only people wasting time and money are the lunatics who can't accept reality.

Obama was born in Kenya and I really don't care. McCain was born in Panama. These technical issues are a waste of breath. They are both Americans by culture and heritage. A lot of people only support the Constitution's technical rules when it supports their views.
Conservatives don't like the income tax amendment which was put in place by Liberals. It is a pro-slavery amendment because it puts a direct tax on your labor with no prescribed limits and flys in the face of the American Revolutionaries intent for this nation of being free from excessive taxation as much of these taxes are used for elective purposes that many taxpayers are adverse to. Not an example of taxation with representation for that purpose. Conservatives also can't stand the power of the Supreme Court to dictate that a fetus is not a living American citizen therefore has no right to life proscribed in our nation's founding documents although strictly speaking the Supreme Court has Constitutional authority to do this because theirs is the power to interpret law.
Liberals of course disregard the Constitution when it comes to the right to bear arms because any restriction on arms or gun owning organizations violates the Constitution principles of self defense and the formation of militias which are therefore inherant rights and not subject to restriction unless the Amendments defining these rights are repealed.
Yes, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land but people of all political persuasions disregard it where it is not convenient to their personal views and its edicts are indeed subjective and through complex interpretation can become circular. The reality we can glean from all this is that the Constitution does not own us but it is we the people that own it. The people have spoken and they want Obama.

He has produced them. The FBI and every possible authority has seen them. He could not run for the Senate or the Presidency without having proof of citizenship. It is people like you who refuse to accept the facts who are wasting time and money.

Nothing will come of this. Let all of us forget about it. It's going to be more fun to see how all this plays out when Obama is president. We're going to have four years of Obama bashing. Every president gets bashed over something. This one will be bashed by his own party. His party is the party of bashing. Think about it.

The question is why are people still discussing this? It's been proven over and over again (http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp)
that Obama is an American citizen; he was BORN in this country, and BTW - were you all aware that John McCain was NOT? HE was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
Yet, no one (including me, BTW) questions HIS citizenship!
Get over it, shall we!
Edit to Jeff: I was in agreement until you said "his party is the party of bashing". They both do. Can we forget how McClellan was bashed for his record in Vietnam or McCain for his illegitimate black child in North (or was it South) Carolina? They BOTH do it.

Why don't you fly to Hawaii and pull the public records? You could be the one to save everyone's time and money.

Obama didn't start this ridiculous crusade...nor is he keeping it going. If people want to file frivolous suits they have the right to waste their money doing so.

heck of a lot better than having him mix his vision in with the real part of governance

This is such old news. I don't think the government would have allowed him to run and then be elected president if it wasn't properly proven that he is a US citizen. Your guy McCain wasn't born in America and you didn't have a beef with that. So shush. He's your president, accept it.

If he has nothing to hide then get it over with and produce the document.
If the allegation is true then step aside and allow McCain to begine organizing his administration.

His mother was American. Thus, he could've been born on the 7th moon of the 3rd planet of the Zebulon star system and would still be a "Natural Born Citizen".
Why is this so hard to understand everyone?

He already did. If people keep making a big deal about it, it's not Obama's fault.
