I've done quite a bit of research on both candidates in the last few months leading up to this upcoming electon, and have always considered myself to be independent of any party affiliation. So I have an honest question; Why do folks on this board continue to bring up the question of Obama's place of birth? After looking into this quite thoroughly, I've found all credible sources to say that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. If there is true ambiguity about his place of birth, than he would not be running for president, so where does this misinformation come from? Thanks.

Because they are desperate and they can't win when discussing issues so they create smokescreens and false accusations to scare people.

Its probably the same guy that started the Barack Obama = Muslim rumor. Which of course, turned out to be false. And an inability to logically think things through, for some people. Sadly its allowed on CD.

Time will tell. Wish one of the candidates who has yet failed to show his would just show the damn thing before his sorry butt goes to jail for defrauding the American people.

McCain's on his way to jail? Did your "little friend" tell you that, too?

Does that define "natural born citizen of the United States?" The one parent being born in the US issue doesn't meet the requirement I quoted above from the Constitution.

Having said that, Obama was most certainly born in Hawaii, and anyone or anything stating otherwise is conspiracy theory.

There are some people who don't want to admit that the reason they don't want Senator Obama to win is because he is a black man. In order to provide themselves cover they keep making up idiotic things which have been disproved over and over again. But, not matter how many times they are disproved, they just keep bringing them up again....because they have nothing else.
