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.

I think it's more payback than anything else, what exactly are you objecting to anyway? Isaac - 15/04/2011 04:46:17 PM 1063 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 959 Views
It is a bit of an oversight not to have that Isaac - 15/04/2011 09:41:40 PM 1151 Views

Surprisingly, many politicians are mean-spirited Isaac - 16/04/2011 02:31:37 AM 1033 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 970 Views
I believe I gave you state examples already Isaac - 16/04/2011 01:55:37 PM 902 Views
