Hilarious! You birthers can believe whatever you want until the day you die, but the fact is the entire "controversy" was simply a desperate and
pathetic attempt to discredit the lawfully elected President by a smear campaign.
I don't think you are really unthinking enough to believe that. You know the real reason - it was a genuine concern that the Constitution (remember
that "Goddam piece of paper"?) had been violated by Obama because he had given no proof that he was a natural-born American.

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE TO PROVE OBAMA WAS NOT BORN IN HAWAII. None! It doesn't matter how sincere you are, YOU ARE SINCERELY
misguided. It doesn't matter how many pages were devoted to it on ATS, it was nonsense from the start, just another Joseph Farah- Worldnut Daily
attempt to smear Obama. Bye!

The truth of the matter is that there is no proof that Obama was born in Hawaii. None. However, there
was testimony by his grandmother Sara
that she had attended his birth in Kenya. That was one of the things that aroused suspicion. Sure, there is circumstantial evidence - the newspaper
notices of his birth. But that does not amount to legal/scientific proof because the State Health Department would have notified newspapers on the
basis of what Stanley Ann Dunham (or perhaps her parents) had told it, not what a hospital would have informed it. If, indeed, she had given birth in
Kenya, she could well have become concerned that her son would not be regarded as an American unless she lied about his country of birth. The COLB is
not evidence because it is merely a print-out of data stored in a computer. If some of that data is false, then the COLB proves nothing even though it
is a legal document.
What is misguided is your willingness to believe in something despite having no evidence for it.
