Re: the long lost birth certificate
Getting Saddam Hussein didn't help Bush/the Republicans much in 2008. It's still a long time to the election. And I suspect that gas prices & the economy will have MUCH more impact than Obama. Oops, I mean Osama, whatever!

Re: the long lost birth certificate
He has stated that the constitution is an expression of "Negative Rights", and he professes that is wrong. Of course, it only seems that way when examined from the view of government. It is a list of things the government cannot do. To "fix" that would eviscerate the constitution.
