My response was meant for Le Facteur 99's comment just below your comment.
But just to play deviI's advocate in order to move this conversati
on forward, how do you know he was born in Hawaii? What Obama's released is a 'Certifica
te of Live Birth', which is NOT the same thing as a 'birth certificat
e'. What Trump, et al, are talking about is a long form document from which a 'Certifica
te of Live Birth' is created.
Having a 'Certifica
te of Live Birth' doesn't necessaril
y follow that there then is a 'long form' from which it was created.
Now just stay with that. Don't let your mind run off in a million directions
.
As an observer to this argument, it's really about how we vet candidates for the presidency (and other elected offices). Up to Obama, presidents are multi-gene
rational American and have come through the ranks of 'aristocra
cy' (they or their families are famous or well known politicall
y, financiall
y, etc.). This is the first president since the nation's earliest years that has a non-native born parent. Interestin
gly enough, the only side of his family that was politicall
y connected was his father.
This is a valuable opportunit
y for Americans to discuss an issue which should inform and empower citizens, but instead it's being met with hostility and outrage, which prevent reasoned discussion and resolution
