Ok, lets stick to YOUR own logic here, and go by the constitution. It simply states that one must be a native born citizen of the United States of
America. It does NOT define what constitutes proof and what doesn't. The FACT of the matter, is that he has not proven he is a native born citizen.
He's produced documents that are easily obtained, regardless of ones citizenship status.
Personally, I don't care where he was born, I'm more concerned about why he refuses to simply show his actual, original birth certificate. It's a
trivial matter to do so, but refusing to do so is hardly a trivial matter.
And your rebuttal to the
valid DMV analogy is laughable. That 16 year old kid at the end of the line isn't the one who decides if you get
your license or not.
The presidency however, is decided by the people of this country, and if even one of them wants information that pertains to the eligibility for the
office, he should provide it. After all, WE hired him. If one or more of WE, suspect that he may have been hired under false pretenses, he should
mitigate those suspicions by simply providing the evidence that we ask for, not something
similar to what we ask for, but exactly what we ask
for. Especially when it's something as trivial as a freaking birth certificate.
When someone says "hey, I was born in Hawaii", then a whole village in Kenya erects a monument to the same persons place of birth, I think it's
fairly valid to ask, OK, which one is it? When the same man attends school under a completely different name, it's again valid to wonder about the
accuracy of information surrounding his past. When he's elected, and breaks his biggest campaign promise within 72 hours of taking office, we begin
to wonder if maybe we didn't look close enough at some of these discrepancies.
Oh, and are you saying he didn't promise transparency?

By refusing to release what his constituents ask for, he's not exactly creating an "unprecedented level of openness in Government.
Your rabid attacks of those who question their own government seem to indicate some fear on your part. Perhaps you're afraid that if we keep
pressing the issue, it will not just go away. Perhaps you're afraid that if it doesn't just go away, the truth will find it's way out. Perhaps
you're afraid that if the truth comes out, it won't be what you want it to be.
