i have no idea, does it matter?
Not really, I was just curious.

And if he did release it the doubters would have just moved the goalposts and demanded some new evidence.
I consider it a strategic move on his part.
It's a good distraction. Let the right squabble & obsess over this issue, while the admin moves forward with real issues...
It would be impossible, none of his ancestors from that side of his family ever lived here during slavery, considering the first one came from Kenya during his mother's lifetime.Would his ancestors being a former slave of Dick Cheney's family count?
This is making the right look deranged. For one, if it were merely a question of his long form (long form vs. short form not being a big deal, but let's through them a bone), then they should just act like they sort of want the long form. Instead, they declare him an illegal alien.
If Obama actually has the long form and is holding it back, this is the best move since the Beer Hall Putsch. Imagine if he hold it until there are tons of Republicans senators and congressman co-sponsoring that birther bill and declaring Obama an illegal alien; then he's completely discredited them, and he can move forward with his agenda at a much faster pace with an embarrassed opposition.
^that is 3 people now onceler^
and notice that he took you serious as well....i told you it was not just me, are you going to tell him that you were half speculating and half making it up to get a rise out of people????
how is that an example of leading this country? it is not leading the country at all....is petty nonsense not indicative of a true leader or one fit to lead this great country....
I'm not saying it's true, yurt. Just that it would be awesome if it were.
i didn't say you said it was true....but if you think it is true then i'm talking the "if" it was true then that is not an example of a true leader....it is piss poor politics over a stupid issue...instead of simply releasing a copy and helping people move on he "might" be playing politics....
you're the 3rd person now from the dems that thinks this is awesome if obama was doing this....pathetic childish games that don't belong on the national level like this....

Hawaii again declares Obama birth certificate real
...
"I ... have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen," Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said in a brief statement. "I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago."
Fukino issued a similar press release Oct. 31, but was prompted to speak out again because of the renewed attention on Obama's beginnings. Hawaii's Health Department has been flooded in recent weeks with questions from individuals and several national TV news networks asking for proof that Obama was indeed born in Hawaii.
"They just keep asking over and over and over again," Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo said.

1. good for HI and a much stronger statement than previously
2. very stupid of obama to not have released a copy of the original to stem this earlier....his non-transparency in this matter has deluged HI and no doubt cost them time and money. obama is largely to blame for this.
I was wrong; "drama queen" was really understating it.
Is there a stronger term for extreme melodrama? Can anyone help me out here?
Blaming Obama for the hysteria created by really stupid people is mindless and far below your capacity for reason.
You righties were caught doing the same nonsensical emotion-filled ranting that you normally do .. now you're trying to put the insanity of the right on Obama.
I'm sure he's been laughing his ass off throughout this entire sorry-ass episode of your own (the right) creation.
i blame both sides, i've made posts previously to that. however, it is clear people are unsatisfied with what he has produced so far and want to see a copy of the original. this shouldn't be a big deal....asking the president who serves the people to show a copy of his original....
in this case, it is clear that what obama has done so far has not quelled the issue, thus, would you not agree that he has the power to quell the issue about his original? in that, quell people's intrigue as to why he won't release it? especially, after HI has stated again that they have his original on file and this time, even HI went a step further by saying he was born here....they did not last time. HI obviously wants this to end and is giving out as much info about his certificate as legally possible....it is the height of stupidity for obama to also not step up to the plate and try to quell this issue by simply releasing a copy....what is the big deal now? why can't he release it?
Loving the double-standard, btw.
Like I said: "psychological projection."
Obama served in the US Senate. Are you aware of the background checks one has to go through to serve in the Senate?
Should he respond to every lunatic notion that comes from the right?
Is it his responsibility to make dumb people smarter? If he served in the US Senate ONLY really dumb people would not know that he must be an American citizen. Ever heard of ANY cases where a non-citizen served in the US Senate?
Additionally, politically, it's a good move to make your opposition look like lunatics .. something the right does very well.
Why stand in the way of your opposition branding themselves as lunatics?
C'mon good brother, you're smarter than that.
No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
i didn't say you said it was true....but if you think it is true then i'm talking the "if" it was true then that is not an example of a true leader....it is piss poor politics over a stupid issue...instead of simply releasing a copy and helping people move on he "might" be playing politics....

When was the last time we had a true leader in the White House??
