I WILL SAY AGAING HE RELEASED PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP TWO YEARS AGO. Why was it still an issue this long Why was this an issue and why does it continue to be an issue, there are still many saying that they don't think he was born here. The only constitutional requirements to be President is one be at lest 35, and be born here. The form he released two years ago should of been plenty. I will not back off my earlier accretion that anyone still making an issue of this either holds some level of resentment because the President is black or they are a tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist. I understand that people wanted to be sure he was eligible, but the question was settled two and a half years ago.

I'm hearing you say, "I refuse to attribute any motive other than racism to a white man who has a problem with a black man. I choose to ignore any black men or other minorities who have the same problem and attribute indoctrinated self-hate by white racists as their only possible motive. I refuse to address any points raised by those with the issue or to assess their long-stated motives because they counter my foregone conclusion that their only motivation can be racism. I refuse to look past skin color to address the topics."

That's about the most racist point of view I think I've encountered in a long while! Black men are nothing more than their skin color to you? They can't be taken as respectable men whose positions people can disagree with (or form conspiracy theories around) like white men or women because their skin color is all you can see? There's obviously nothing to discuss as you've made it clear your position on the topic of why the birth certificate is an issue for a significant part of our country will not be changed by facts. I won't be following this thread any longer.
