One possibility to hiding it would be that after such a great howl of protest would erupt he would then show his birth certificate. It is a normal birth certificate proving that he was born in Hawaii and then he would have the upper hand in not disclosing things in the future because a lot of his critics would be discredited from this.
I like the idea of states just passing laws that say any Presidential candidate would have to supply proof of citizenship in order to have his primary and general election votes certified. Face it, we’d still have Biden and Pelosi as the Pres and VP if Obama would step down. This way, in 4 years he would be forced to display his birth certificate or not run for another term.
Think this could have held for a few months; but Obama has spent a great deal of money; and taken up valuable 'Court' time here - and continues to.
There is only one logical conclusion. Obama is hiding an untenable truth of his being a legitimate President. It also says a great deal that Obama, who 'knew' such; proceded nonetheless, to what he clearly believes is his 'entitlement'.
