Now, if by "reputable" you mean some right wing nutjob who will find it fake, even if he was in the room with Obama when he was born, then what can I say.

laygaytor, i'm sure you were one of the many screaming about Bush's face service records back in 2004.

that's the big problem with 'the muslim' the dude has not past. exept when he was haning around marxist while in college. he's a pretty evil and cold person. hopefully he'll out in 4 years and his part will be somewhat out of power in 2010. i'm not betting on it because you have a lot of ignorant non-educated democrats that vote. (some 2 and 3 times)

It's the same as the constitutional issue of Bush/Cheney in regards to residency.

BHO has provided the docuements and closed the issue. BHO is not making this a "problem". It's the fringe wing nuts that won't let it go. Just like the fringe wings nuts on the other side that kept pointing to the fact that Cheney was a resident of Texas and pestering his neighbors about him actually living there for 5 years.

For all intent and purpose, he has proven his citizenship beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Not exactly - perhaps under the residency rules Cheney would have been barred from being VP if Bush was POTUS. For BO, he would be barred from being POTUS.

(not saying I think he's not a citizen - the issues are distinct though).

So there are degrees of breaking the constitution?

And let's face it, Cheney being barred in the Bush administration would be just as significant as BHO being barred.

No - there are different remedies though depending on which aspect is broken.

Pure speculation - somethings would have been the same, others may have been different. Besides, this is wholly irrelevant to the point. In BO's case, the constitutional violation would have legally prevented him from being POTUS. In Bush's case, it would not have.

So we find out that BO is not legally in position. We move Biden into the POTUS? Is that what anyone wants?

Seems like this could turn into a "be careful what you ask for" scenario.

Why is it astounding? We have a guy that has an accomplice in the media and in many state capitols. Why are you shocked that people don't buy his half answer. Neither you or Obama has provided anything that merits the question dying down.

Again, this would be so simple to dispel, yet our media only empty suit can't seem to make it go away. Does that make any sense whatsoever in your talk radio world?

If your scenario were true, what I would want is for things to be handled as they are supposed to be handled. Regardless of how I feel about any of them.

I don't give a damn if Obama was born on the White House lawn.

He's still the most unqualified man to ever hold the office of POTUS. His actions make that fact more apparent with each passing day.

You may believe that to be true but it certainly is NOT true, he has produced nothing.
