Chris Matthews: Why Doesn't Obama Demand A Copy Of His Birth Certificate? (VIDEO)

Wednesday, December 29, 2010


 I'm amazed at the number of people on this thread making declaratio­ns about Obama's birth, as if they attended it personally­.  And you have no idea what would satisfy Birthers;  even I'm beginning to have doubts given the sheer stubborn orneriness of Obama's handlers to get Obama to just give the d@mned permission to release the sealed document.

Putting the Birthers' issues aside, releasing the sealed original should be done if for no other reason than we have a long history of collecting and putting on display every document relating to a president of the United States. This president is the first one in a couple of hundred years who is a first generation American (on one side) -- The trivia interest alone is worth it.

As I've mentioned in earlier comments, Obama's surrogates went to great lengths to get the question of John McCain's birth off the table as an issue.  Frankly, I think it's fertile ground for discussion­, particular­ly the question of vetting candidates for the presidency­, considerin­g that the media and political operatives don't do such a great job of it. 

At this stage in our history, anybody can be president.  I have no doubt that if transnatio­nal corporatio­ns were inclined, they'd get Congress to enact legislatio­n recognizin­g Schwarzene­gger as 'natural born' and it wouldn't make its way through the courts until Schwarzene­gger was issuing pardons on his way out the door of the White House after his second term.
