The birther movement puzzles me ...even with Obama having posted his "long form" birth certificate online for the world to see ...birthers are still questioning its authenticity.
Do they not consider Hawaii a state of the United States? Is it because his father was Kenyan? Is it because Obama is black? Are they just looking for a topic that they, with their limited intelligence, feel they can expound on?
I applied for a passport a few years ago and applied online for a copy of my birth certificate. What I received was document called a Certificate of Birth. That satisfied the State Department though I knew it had errors on it (exact spelling of mother's name for example). If I were running for public office I would suppose my opponent could challenge that I am not qualified for the office because there is questionable data on my Certificate of Birth and that if I would produce my long form then it could be determined what I was trying to hide. Oh, wait, I won't be challenged in that manner because I am not black, even though I have a foreign sounding middle name.
