If someone wasn't born in the states they wouldn't be prez. I believe that anyone that would attempt to become prez would be vetted. Why do you birfers think that someone, ANYONE, in the government acting an OFFICIAL capacity wouldn't detect this amazing ruse???? Wake up.

Since we're dealing with "hypothetical questions":
Would you be concerned if there were a group of people so deluded by their latent racism, that despite all proof to the contrary, would continue to perpetuate the idea that the president was not born in the U.S.? And then perpetuate the idea that even if he were born in the U.S. (which he was), he couldn't be President since his father was an immigrant?

Would it bother you these people continue to rehash the same failed and dis-proven theories over and over and over and over again, in a quixotic attempt to remove a legal candidate that won a legal election with the support of the majority of American voters?
