There is some interesting things that the birthers have came up with to put together a good conspiracy.
These are very valid points regardless of the party lines.
Can anyone that favors Obama refute this?
I think the biggest point is that it doesn't matter. He provided enough proof to be able to run for president. You don't think that if it had more teeth Hilary wouldn't have used it to get him dismissed. It was her campaign that tried to use it in the first place before anyone picked up on it.
The cert of live birth is all that is needed and Hawaii stated that it is what they issue.
Figure also that any baby that is not born in a hospital under the proof that you want would not be an American citizen if they have one parent that is canadian, english, irish, polish, african, asian, mexican, ect.
I think that there is more important things to worry about than if he has a 48 year old birth certificate which he obviously does not have an origional of.
As for college papers, that is easy, I wouldn't want some of the papers I wrote in my first go around in college put out there either if I was the president, and he doesn't have to. I wrote one bout the moon landing being a hoax, most college students believe that communism is a good thing because it sounds good until you actually learn about it and leave those ideals behind you (just like some think that dismantling the government and just following the constitution disallowing all other new laws is a good thing, or no taxes).
Face it, people like Alex Jones would have a field day with a college paper of Obama's.
Think about how silly it is that people are spending so much time on the birth certificate when they could be talking about something like the war in afghanastan, or how the border drug war is going, and using it as a way to open up the government debate on leagalizing them.
Instead people are being manipulated into going crazy about things that don't matter or are good for our country but they are misinformed about.
