For him to even run for president he had to show it to specific people to prove he was born here. If he wasnt born here he wouldnt be allowed to run. Was the government in on the conspiracy even then?
Why would Obama release his birth certificate to the public? No other president has ever gone through such a thing. Why should he pander to crazy people?

Actually...No he did not,,,,,it was not a requirement ...only allowed when an official challenge is made...but he has spent MILLIONS fighting the challenges...please research your info before you SPEW then you will not get made to look uninformed like this...The "Certificate of Live Birth"which is posted online... is NOT a "Birth Certificate"...it is a "report" of a live birth occuring and can be made by a 3rd party and is NOT proof of WHERE he was born....

That's not the point, the crazy conservatives stir up thing like this because they know that the government will never or has never shown a president's personal information, in fact it would be against the law for them to for anyone to do so. That is why they manufactured a fake Kenyan birth certificate and circulated it all over the web.

The people that matter have already seen it and these conspiracy nuts-called birthers- are insane. Do they really think it wouldn't have been made known by now? I don't hear their messiahs like Douche Limbaugh or the Palin creature going on about that. And they are well known to spout off any trash they think can be seriously believed by a decent amt of people.
Birthers are just sad. Very sad.

Other than the American people who have a right under the Constitution to see the original birth certificate which specific people actually saw it? Can you be more specific?
