According to a recent New York Times/CBS News poll, 58 percent of Americans said the President was born in the United States, with 20 percent believing he was born in another country (23 percent said they did not know).

I can prove where I was born thanks to my birth certificate. Why spend over 2 million dollars in court when less than $20 will settle the matter?

According to a recent New York Times/CBS News poll....

And, THAT'S all I need to know.

[NEMDF]

I actually believe he was born in Hawaii. That said, I do NOT actually believe that he meets the criteria of being a natural born citizen, based on his parents’ status, and possibly also that he changed citizenship to Indonesian and never became a US citizen. But I would give him the chance to prove it to us.

I wish someone would explore the subtleties on this, instead of just going off half-cocked about the birth certificate issue.

[a fool in paradise]

Perhaps, so why spend millions and use the power of legislatures to shield the document from release?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Then presenting a valid birth certificate shouldn't be a problem

[a fool in paradise]

Obama also claimed to be a Christian and that is a naked lie.

[shelterguy]

According to a “news” reporter I saw on tv this morning obammy already showed his birth certificate long ago.

[Diogenesis]

Mmm, mmm, mmm. Barack Hussein Obama.
Has less documentation than any random wild llama.

Release the BC ..... or RESIGN

[TigerBait]

Define “natural born citizen” please SCOTUS.

Obama admits his dad was a foreigner. The birth certificate is secondary to what we already know and Obama admits.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Why spend years “exhaustively” arguing that Obama was born in Hawaii when Obama could spend 10 minutes definitively proving it with his bc?

The Obamites are worried. We got them targeting us. Before they would not memtiuon us. NOW WE ARE A THREAT.

Congratulations everyone.

We are making progress.

Soon the issue will be an election issue.

Internet conspiracy

The only conspiracy here has been perpetrated by those who've taken extraordinary measures to keep Hussein's birth certificate and school records sealed.

[Responsibility2nd]

Just the whole idea the Lame stream media is printing these polling results (flawed that the may be) is a good thing.

Useful idiots.

Anything that keeps the legitimacy of Obammie’s birth in day to day discussions is a good thing.

True, with the infant in hand in Kenya...

[redshawk]

The manChild has yet to go to church in DC. Just can’t find the Rev.Wright (wrong) type of preaching.

Please WAKE up America. It is not TOO LATE yet.

[wintertime]

An honest man would be **HONORED** to promptly prove with all of the best evidence that he was a natural born citizen and eligible to be Commander in Chief and president.

A guilty man MISUSES Department of Justice resources and WASTES U.S. attorney time to hide common documents that unanointed Americans release routinely for many reasons.

So?...Why has Obama chosen to act like a guilty man?

Why would Obama distract the DOJ and U.S. attorneys from their important job of getting the bad guys? Why would he do this when plots were being laid to KILL our soldiers on their bases and recruitment centers and blow planes out of the sky?

If Obama is doing this a some sort of political dirty trick on his opponents, I don't think the American people will be amused.

[HighlyOpinionated]

So “dismiss it” with the original long form birth certificate, then.

Saul Alinsky would be so proud. As proud as Kenya is about their “native son.”
