If he was a white GOP, the media would have dogged him mercilessly, 24 x 365 until he provided documentation up the wazoo, and you, no doubt, know it

Of course not! Only someone with something to hide would be anxious about any evaluation of his credentials.
Exactly. Obama was as much, or more, to blame than the so-called birthers.

he provided his certificate of live birth (COLB) and his "long-form" birth certificate (LFBC), both have been confirmed as legit by the HI dept of health, and the 1961 HI birth index is available for inspection by the public in honolulu . exactly what further documentation are you looking for?

He had the temerity to run for a job that in the minds of some is reserved for white people. He should have known that wouldn't go over well with a certain segment of the population.

That's an easy one. He refused to give in to the completely irrelevant (kindergarten records? baptism records?), fabricated (adoption records?) ever increasingly idiotic demands that birthers continue to make of him. In the mind of a birther, not giving into stupid demands, demands which were never made of any other president, by the way, makes him responsible for their existence.

No one ever accused birthers of intelligence.
