Was it Glen Beck who said that there are bigger battle that we need to focus on?
Well, we won't need to focus on them if BO is exposed for the FRAUD he is, and is shamed out of office!
I agree that “Verifier” is a better term.

APGAR SCORES
It should be noted that, by and large, other candidates for President and Presidents have not released, nor been expected to release things like birth certificates, parents’ marriage licenses and the like.
On the other hand, all recent Presidents and candidates (with the exception of Obama, and perhaps minor party candidates) have made public detailed medical histories, college transcripts and the like. (Remember how they made fun of W’s GPA in 2004 until it turned out that Kerry had a lower Yale GPA?)
Why the secrecy? Half a dozen reasons spring to mind, ranging from Obama having been listed as an Indonesian citizen on his transcipts to really lousy grades. Just as hiding the birth certificate could be motivated either by actual ineligibility to serve as President or by something that would falsify part of Obama’s self-promotion narrative.
“Birthers” need to put the whole lack of transparency front and center when discussing the matter polemically (even if in the courts the Constitutional requirement is front and center), maybe even starting the question with why we could see Bush’s medical history and college transcripts, but not Obama’s.

“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
I haven't made any claims at all.
I just ask two questions. Where is the original birth certificate, and what citizenship did he claim when he was in college.
Simple. No claim, just a simple question.
He can answer it whenever he gets around to it, or he can send out his orcs to muddy the water and mock and slander. Fake documents, insults, mockery is how his people answer what is really a very simple question. It is something he ought to have answered long ago, before it was asked, and its still something he could answer in the blink of an eye, he could do it this morning. He doesn't, because he doesn't want to, because he can't and he doesn't dare. Apparently.
Thanks for pointing that out — I have corrected it to read — “the questions raised”
So, where’s the long form BC ???
Who dreams up these stupid titles for people, you?
Oh, you’re the writer? I didn’t notice until now.
Good job! Very well done.
Give us what we want, AND WE’LL GO AWAY.
I have heard pundits say that BO will never give it up — hoping that we will sound more and more crazy — because it gives the Dems something to point to about how the GOP is so extreme and out of touch.
But as long as we just keep emphasizing the lack of transparency and nontrustworthiness — and don’t run off on wild theories — and as long as BO keeps becoming more and more unpopular — the truth will more than liekly come out.
Most journalists have a self-preservation instinct that will eventually override even the most steadfast devotion to a politician.
I agree with your main point, but obviously my view is that he dares not give it up, so his only recourse is to hope we'll sound more and more crazy, and to seize on and focus on the more outlandish theories, or whatever working theories that we've since disproved and moved on from.
In working to fill in the blanks, you come up with theories and then you work to prove or disprove them. Some of them sound a little wacky, and get thrown out pretty early on in the process. Some hang on because in the end its hard to disprove them. But the bottom line is that he has created the blanks in his biography, and we seem to be the only ones trying to fill in the blanks. Its a process, but we've gone a lot farther than has anyone in the media. Even the problems dealing with fake documents, it seems to be us doing the analysis that eventually proves them fake. Just as in the case with Dan Rather.
Very good point, marron.
