2. I disagree with you...
I disagree with you... While, I will agree... most are nut jobs...

Heck, my website has not covered the story one bit, because... the whole spectacle is stupid.

Most people that would like to see the hospital certificate... are not "birthers", they are just the "well... why not"ers

Wouldn't you just rather have obama whip it out... and be like "there you go stupid".

Now of course... Obama is loving it, because it takes away the attention from EVERY OTHER F#!%in thing we should be talking about! Same with the gates story... and I am sick of it.

Spend your time on something MORE important... than just calling somebody stupid.

5. I just think the whole thing is stupid
Nothing wrong with that...

I could care less if he released anything, I think it would just prove the obvious... I Just want the whole story to shut up.

12. HE already released his birth certificate
Same documentation anybody else would use.

Says so right on the document. It's prima facie evidence of birth. No court or governmental office can deny it.

So what you are asking him to do is bow to the whims of nutburgers.

What's next?

Your whole line of reasoning that the president of the United States should even achknowledge the nutburgers is absurd on its face.

IMO, that makes you worse than the nutburgers.

6. Why Nutters
Yeah, why not have a traveling whistle-stop show where the actual birth certificate from Hawaii is put on raw display so every doubter can touch it and feel it for authenticity.

And even then they won't be convinced because it's missing some made-up arcane detail that every red-blooded AMERICAN birth certificates must have.

Christ, stupid should be painful.

7. They will never stop because it is
working.

As much as sane people believe that they are helping insane to understand it,that will not work.

11. The damn birth certificate has been released.
The birth certificate has been released. The birth announcement was in two different Hawaiian newspapers at the time.

What else do you want him to do?

Most people that would like to see the hospital certificate... are not "birthers", they are just the "well... why not"ers

No. They're the "nutters".

13. A little familiarity with the various birther claims should convince you that nothing whatsoever
will stop the stupid claims

We have birth announcements from several Hawaiian newspapers. We have the fact that Obama served in the Illinois House and Senate and in the US Senate (all offices requiring US citizenship). We know Obama has traveled on a US passport (again requiring proof of US citizenship). Republican Hawaiian officials have repeatedly asserted he was born in Hawaii. One of his grade school teachers remembers the doctor who delivered him telling her about his birth

The birthers meanwhile do not have a single story but a collection of distinct, contradictory, and illogical narratives that are brought flexibly into play, depending on the circumstances. It is alleged Obama was born in Kenya, or that he is a UK citizen because UK law gave him a limited window to claim UK citizenship based on the status of his father, or ... or ... It is alleged that his birth certificate is a forgery or that the document is official but (despite listing a birth date and time and a Hawaiian island as the place of birth) does not actually mean he was born in Hawaii, or ... or ... These are not genuine confusions, nor are they the ramblings of demented wackos: these are carefully contrived bullshit, intended to stir up more ignorant wingnuts and to divert discussion away from real issues

8. The Flat Birth Society.
Shouldn't they be required to prove he was born in Kenya? Why is it the other way around? Can they show us Obama's mother's passport records showing she traveled to Kenya the year he was born? Prove it!
