Just take his word that he is a natural born citizen and has never said he was anything else? With all the lies he has told in the last 5 years maybe we do need some proof of citizenship.

Did you want to see Ronald Reagan's school transcripts or George H.W. Bush, or Bill Clintons, or George W. Bush Jr's.

So what's so different about Barack Obama that you want to see his?

Because feeding the trolls just gets them more agitated. Like the release of the long form BC.

At least half of that electorate is made up of uninformed Democrat voters, as Rush calls them, and they don't know about his citizenship and most of them don't know anything about what is required by the Constitution.

the college transcripts are an extension of the birther lunacy. the quest began when the birthers took an april fool's day prank seriously that stated obama attended occidental as an indonesian citizen under the fulbright scholarship.

snopes.com: Barack Obama Was a Foreign College Student?

a few problems with this:

A: obama has never been eligible for indonesian citizenship

Indonesian nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

B: obama couldn't renounce his US citizenship as a minor

Renunciation of U.S. Citizenship

C: obama didn't qualify for the fulbright

Fulbright scholarships for Indonesian undergrads - Obama Conspiracy Theories

and finally the demand for obama's application records is completely in vain. occidental, like most colleges, only maintain those records for a few (5) years.

Tax returns mean nothing to do with Presidential requirements but proof of citizenship surely does seem to be needed this time.

So? The public doesn't determine whether a person is a citizen. The matter is closed. But please, continue to diminish the GOP by entertaining the whackjobs and Froot Loops and Orly Taitz of the country. That three-ring circus will continue to shrink the party to a marginal fringe player.

Speaking of uninformed voters, I saw a poll where a majority of Republicans blamed ACORN for Obama's win. The same ACORN that dissolved in 2010.

LMAO.

we're not relying on his word old boy. none of the evidence proving obama was born in hawaii is dependent upon "his word".

As an average person, how many photographers follow you around on a daily basis for over a year. How many teams of reporters are picking over every aspect of not only your life but the life of your children, your parents, your parents parents, your friends and damn near anyone you've ever come in contact. How often are your every utterance held up to light and parsed to the last coma? No, I think that there is more than enough disclosure and if there is something that you would like to know but can't find out, just like in the private sector, you don't have to hire/vote for the individual.
How many reporters have ever studied Obama that exhaustively up to now? I guess you don't see much from the MSM about I Won. I sure don't. They did a much bigger job on Sarah Palin in a couple of months than they ever have on Obama since he delivered that speech in 2004. I see now, you are talking about Fox and all those bloggers who really did dig into his past but were pushed back by the MSM.
