The Birthing Question
So, it looks like Obama has finally produced the elusive birth certificate. One would hope that this ends the speculation as to his birth location, but I highly doubt it. Besides, anyone who is determined to find fault with Obama is going to, regardless of this new development. And really, there are plenty of other issues with Obama's reign...er...Presidency, so the whole "birther" issue is really a non-issue.
Personally, I have never bothered worrying about Obama's birthplace. How does being born on US soil make you any better to run the country than someone who was born on foreign soil? If you are a citizen then it shouldn't matter where you were born. Of course there are going to be those who say, "yeah, but, what if someone gains citizenship for the sole purpose of taking over the government and becoming a dictator?!" Um...don't you think it's just as possible for some who was born on US soil to become a dictator? No one nationality has a corner on the dictator market.
So, forget about the birth issue and focus on the real issues: the mounting national debt, Obamacare, our selective military intervention, the rising cost of food and oil, the fact that the President of the US keeps going to churches with pastors who are clearly racist...you know, things that actually matter.
