how many previous presidents have had to prove their place of birth? moondog Send a noteboard - 19/04/2011 04:34:42 PM
and even more pertinent to the discussion, why does THIS president have to show more than he has to satisfy the curiosity of a small percentage of people? there are A LOT of presidents who never had to show a birth certificate to the country. at a rough guess, i'd say around 43 of them have never been under such scrutiny to produce this document.

so what's really going on here? you don't support his policies? fine. you don't like him personally? that's fine too. trying to pretend he wasn't born in the US despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary? can't be justified simply because of a political disagreement with the man.

WTF arizona? moondog - 15/04/2011 04:28:19 PM 2040 Views
I think it's more payback than anything else, what exactly are you objecting to anyway? Isaac - 15/04/2011 04:46:17 PM 952 Views
Yeah, I'm going "wait, they didn't have to do that yet?" here as well. Legolas - 15/04/2011 08:40:44 PM 862 Views
It is a bit of an oversight not to have that Isaac - 15/04/2011 09:41:40 PM 1054 Views
that's because they're morons. LadyLorraine - 16/04/2011 03:36:54 AM 969 Views

Surprisingly, many politicians are mean-spirited Isaac - 16/04/2011 02:31:37 AM 913 Views
if any of those examples were legislated by a state house, you'd have a stronger argument.... moondog - 16/04/2011 07:23:49 AM 857 Views
I believe I gave you state examples already Isaac - 16/04/2011 01:55:37 PM 799 Views

One is the origianl document and one is a certificate created when it is requested. random thoughts - 17/04/2011 12:44:27 AM 939 Views
Then you need be be more clear because that is not what you said. LadyLorraine - 17/04/2011 03:14:03 AM 942 Views
